“I haven’t traveled much of anywhere really, at least not outside of the USA,” Alex stated in a dull voice, embarrassed to admit it, “That sounds like so much fun, I’m kind of jealous actually.” Alex really wanted to travel the world someday. She dreamed of all the places she would go, the people she would meet, the languages and all of the cultural opportunities she would be encounter.<br/><br/>"That's a beautiful saying," Alex said in admiration, "The part about the four leaf clovers. It's nice." Alex looked over in surprise at the reference to her favorite book, Alice's Adventures In Wonderland, "I love Lewis Carroll's books!" She smile, really enjoying Fiona's company, but she also knew that their friendship was something her other friends would never understand. They were too ignorant.<br/><br/>Alex shifted around uncomfortably in her seat at the mention of Fiona’s father. Family was a very touchy subject for her and she really didn’t like to talk about it. “The sandwich sounds good. I like oreos!” Alex said with a small smile. She was hoping that Fiona hadn’t noticed her avoidance of the family subject.<br/><br/>Just then the bell rang, cutting short their conversation rather quickly. Alex hopped up from the table, gathering her trash. “Sorry again about my friends,” she apologized, “I do hope the rest of your day goes better. Who do you have next? I can walk you to class if you’d like,” Alex said hurriedly, pausing at the edge of the table. She didn’t want to seem rude, she just really liked her next class.
