"Hi!" Maria says to Natasha as she boards the bus. Natasha could see a brown-haired girl sitting next to Maria. She goes and sits next to Maria and the brown-haired girl.
"Hi, Natasha, this is Amerissa." Maria says. "She's my new friend."
"Hello." Amerissa seems kind of shy.
"So what's going on?" Natasha breaks the silence.
"Not much. You?" Maria replies.
"Same." Natasha answers.
A little later, maybe a week or so, Maria and Amerissa sit with a blonde-haired girl.
"Hi, Natasha, this is Alyson, my sister." Amerissa says.
"Oh, I didn't know you had a sister."
"Hi." Alyson says. She seems kind of shy, just like her sister was.
After a while of knowing Alyson and Amerissa, Natasha is very surprised to find out that they have another sister.
Alyson says hi to another blonde-haired girl and Natasha asks who she is.
"That's my sister, Lauren. We called her LeeLee."
"Oh, how many more sisters do you have?"
"None. But we have a brother, Carson."
"Why didn't you tell me about Lauren and Carson?"
"I don't know. You didn't ask."
So that is the story of how Natasha made lots of new friends easily.
