*Manhattan, New York*
The Big Apple was lively like any other day as many crowds of people went on about their day as a young girl with a RC Cola and a Moonpie in her hands who also wore a pleated plaid skirt and a knit sweater top while having a hairstyle similar to that of Clara Bow whom she admired.
"Today is a very beautiful day! It's always a blessing to take a nice stroll in New York.." Anya had spoken to herself as she continued to walk across the lively city of New York as she turned towards her right direction to see her local Milkman delivering milk to one of the rowhouses with a smile on his face as he began to speak.
"Good Afternoon Anya, It's great to see you! How's your mother? I heard she did amazing on her play last night!" The Milkman had spoken to Anya in a tone of joy in his voice as he awaited a response from Anya.
"Good Afternoon to you, Mr George. I've been doing wonderful. Thanks for asking! My mother is doing wonderful as well and I'm so glad that her play went wonderful as well" Anya had spoken back with a smile on her face as she looked around to see her friend waving at her which prompted her to wave back before turning her direction back to Mr George.
"That's wonderful to hear so I'm glad but I see that's your friend Charlotte, right? I don't want to keep you waiting too long but It was wonderful talking to you and always chase after your dreams!" Mr George had spoken to Anya with a smile on his face as he walked towards his Milk truck as he eventually drove off into the streets.
"Friend! I didn't expect to see you today! Did you study for that test for Mrs Prude!" Charlotte (a young 15 year old girl with half-up pigtails) cried out to her friend as she looked both ways before crossing the street in which was seen by her friend.
"Good Afternoon, It's wonderful bumping into you and I've managed to study as well. I don't wanna get in trouble again with my parents.." Anya had responded back as she chuckled at the last part of her sentence before taking a bite from her Moonpie.
"There's also a new transfer student from France as well. I didn't get her name but I heard some of our classmates talking about it. I hope she's pretty and nice! I don't like mean girls" Charlotte had spoken to her friend once more as she made a pouty face at the last part of her comment as this prompted Anya to speak once more.
"I'm sure she won't be mean. We just gotta show her kindness so that she won't become mean. Just like my mother and father taught me" Anya had spoken back as she took a sip of RC Cola from the can as her comments made Charlotte smile warmly at her.
"I will always remember the day when we first met five years ago when we were ten years old. There were those mean and nasty boys who made fun of me but you came in and beat them up!" Charlotte had begun to speak back as she used her fist to gently tab her left hand as a visual as this made Anya chuckle.
"I will always remember our first encounter, My mother had to pull me away from those boys.." Anya had spoken back as the girls continued to walk before literally bumping into a young girl with red hair.
"O-Oh! W-We're sorry for bumping into you. We should have paid attention…" Anya had spoken to the young girl as she was met with a rather serious look from her as she began to speak.
"You're fine, Don't worry about it.." The young girl had spoken back in a rather serious tone of voice as she began to walk away from the girls as this encounter left them confused as they saw the girl walking away from them.
"Red hair? That's quite uncommon. Is she our new transfer student? I hope not because she gave me strange vibes!" Charlotte had spoken to Anya as she was met with a shrug from her.
"I'm not sure but do you wanna get Lunch at my mothers? I'm sure she has Sandwich stuff at home or something like that!" Anya had asked Charlotte as she was met with a very excited response from her as she began to nod her head in agreement.
"Of course! I was getting hungry since I didn't eat anything ALL day so let's head to your home!" Charlotte had responded back in a cheerful tone of voice as she and Anya made their way towards their destination as this was being watched by the same red-haired young girl.
"That girl with the Clara Bow cut, She looks rather familiar? Is she actually the daughter of Anastasia Romanov? I'm gonna find out tomorrow anyways..." The young girl had said to herself as she continued with her walk.
*1:24pm*
Anya and Charlotte had arrived at their destination as they entered the rowhouse.
"My little brother is at my Auntie's place and my mother and father are gone so It seems we have the whole place to ourselves but you can help yourself with the radio" Anya had spoken to her friend as she went towards the kitchen to take out two glass cups, a carton of milk, and sandwich supplies as she looked up to see her friend changing each broadcast station on the radios.
"Do you want to listen to Little Orphan Annie? It broadcasts in less than five minutes." Charlotte asked Anya as she was met with a nod of confirmation from her as she turned the radio to the station in which was gonna play the program as it began to play.
"Who's the little chatterbox? The one with pretty auburn locks? Whom do you see? It's Little Orphan Annie" The radio host sang in the device while Charlotte nodded her head in tune of the song as she sang along as she turned her direction to see her friend placing the sandwiches and milk on the table.
"It's starting! It's starting! This week's episode is when Annie visits Daddy Warbucks! You don't wanna miss it!" Charlotte advised her friend as she was met with Anya smiling back at her.
"Don't worry, I'm just about done!" Anya had called back to her friend as she grabbed her friend's plate of food and milk and walked towards the living room area as she placed it on a table before going back to retrieve hers as the girls began to have their lunch.
"I wonder who that girl was? Could she actually be the new transfer student?" Anya thought to herself as she and Charlotte continued to eat their lunch for the remainder of the time that Little Orphan Annie was playing.
*Highlands High School*
*2:30pm*
The same red-haired girl that encountered Anya and Charlotte sat across from the school principal as the principal began to read her files.
"So, your name is Nancy Booker and you have adoptive parents correct?" The Principal had spoken to Nancy as he continued to look at her files before looking up towards the red-haired girl.
"Correct, My biological parents gave me away when I was a baby so I don't remember much of them but I hope to excel in this wonderful school, Principal Morton" Nancy had spoken back to Principal Morton in a polite tone of voice as she was met with a nod of understandment from Principal Morton.
"So, do you remember your biological parents' names? I'm sure that your adoptive parents must have told you." Principal Morton had asked Nancy once more as he continued to write things down as he awaited his response.
"My biological parents were John Claude and Natasha. I don't know what they look like so I only remember them by name…" Nancy had answered back in a rather sad tone of voice as her response was met with a nod of understanding from Principal Morton as she and the Principal continued to chat for the rest of their time as the next day passed.
*March 3rd, 1941*
*7:30am*
The school hallways were loud as Anya and Charlotte were talking in the hallways as they retrieved their school supplies from the lockers.
"You didn't study?! Friend! I don't want you to fail today's test with Mrs Prude so we're gonna head to the library and get a quick study session in!" Charlotte had spoken to her friend as she waited for a response from Anya.
"I know I know but I went to another one of my mother's plays and we all know how long THOSE can take!" Anya had responded back in a tone of slight annoyance as she felt a warm tough on her shoulder which made her jump as she turned around to see Nancy standing behind her.
"You guys must be Anya and Charlotte right? I'm Nancy Booker, It's a pleasure to meet the both of you. Let's be friends." Nancy had introduced herself with a smile on her face as she extended her hand out for a handshake.
"It's that same girl from yesterday! She looks so pretty up close! I can't reject her offer!" Charlotte thought to herself as she reached out to give Nancy a warm handshake as she began to introduce herself.
"I'm Charlotte Smith! It's wonderful to meet you! Do you wanna study with me and my friend? She could use all of the help" Charlotte had spoken to Nancy as she was met with a nod of confirmation from Nancy which made her smile.
"Charlotte seems nice, Let's be friends, Anya? I'm sure that you'll do great on your test if you become my friend…" Nancy had spoken to Anya as she awaited a handshake from her.
"Sure, My name is Anya Romanov, It's a pleasure to meet you. Let's hope to be the best of friends until the end of our time here.." Anya had spoken back with a warm smile on her face as she and Nancy shook hands indicating that their friendship will be 100% different from the brutal relationship that her mother had with John Claude as the trio made their way towards the library to study...
