Thread: The New Kid-Hareem/Moon

Heh, don't worry about it Reno chuckled as Alexei apologised for missing him at school. It was no surprise at all really, Reno was overlooked all the time by everyone. In all honesty he wouldn't be surprised if half the school population weren't even aware of his existence. I'm used to being overlooked, I'm that guy who just sort of slips between the cracks y'know? You don't need to apologise for anything. You're not the first person to overlook me and I guarantee that you wont be the last either He grinned slightly, simply happy that Alexei had even spoken to him. In all honesty he'd expected someone so popular with the rest of the students to simply join in with ignoring him. It seemed he was fortunate that they were the only two students who lived in this general direction. Show you around? Well sure, I'd be happy to. Though I have to warn you, there isn't much to see I'm afraid...this town is pretty much the exact definition of middle of nowhere He sighed slightly and shook his head before looking back to Alexei when he mentioned dinner. Hm? Ah, you don't need to do that, really. You don't owe me anything for a little tour, just think of it as a welcome gift or something He grinned slightly, not mentioning that simply talking to someone socially like this was more than reward enough in itself. He was a bit confused about how Alexei would treat him to a fancy dinner if the boy didn't seem to be able to even afford items like a washer and dryer, or a better apartment to live in. Though that would just make Reno feel even more guilty if he did accept the offer. Ah, so this is where you live? I live just down the street from here Alexei's place really was close by, Reno's parents' house only a 2 minute walk further down the same street. He waited on the sidewalk for the boy to return, then turned to head back roughly the way they had come back into town. Oh come on, you're hardly lost now are you? You only just moved here after all, it's only natural you wouldn't know your way around yet. Trust me, in less than week you'll know this place like the back of your hand He grinned and nodded, then started to think. For fun? Well not much I'm afraid....we used to have an arcade but that closed down a year or two ago....pretty much been left abandoned ever since. I hear rumours that some people break into the building every now and again to see if they can get some of the abandoned machines working, but the building is pretty old and dangerous so I wouldn't recommend it. Other than that though...I'm not really sure on the big 'hang outs'. I guess some of the stores and the library, but as for where the 'cool' kids hang out....no clue I'm afraid He shook his head slowly. Ok, so for the tour...let's start with the shopping area, that's where the Laundromat is too. After that we can head for the library, then the train station. After that....well that's pretty much it really. Like I said, there's not a lot in town at all.... Reno turned off down a different street to one they had walked down before, not taking long to come to a small shopping area. Pretty much every store in town is around here. Makes things easier I suppose to keep them all in one place As well as the promised Laundromat there were various other stores as well. A few food stores selling a mixture of fresh and pre-packaged goods, a few clothing stores catering to various ages and styles, a video game store with a few kids from school hanging out inside, a liquor store with a few kids from school being thrown out for trying to use fake IDs to buy alcohol, a comic store with a few kids from school emerging with armfulls of comics and a few other stores to fill in the gaps that the others didn't cater to. There's pretty much all you need to keep you going, but for anything really fancy you gotta get the train about an hour to another town with more stores. There were also a few restaurants on the edge of the shopping area, including a rather fancy looking expensive place, every single table looking like a cosy, private, romantic booth that was very difficult to see into from the outside. Once they were done looking around the small shopping area, Reno turned to head for the library, a rather small building not too far from the school. The selection isn't great...most of the books here are text books for the school since it doesn't have its own library. Good for studying and homework, not so good if you want to read something for fun
