"Hey, Trini!" Jason called.
Trini looked up from her table and arched her eyebrow at her dark haired friend, "Yes, Jason?" She asked.
Jason walked up with a pretty, dark haired girl who was giving her a dark look. "This is Lucrezia," he said, turning to the girl and smiling at her, even as she smiled back at him. "She's one of the Italian delegates." Trini kept her face calm so as not to betray her dislike of this girl. "Lucrezia, this is Trini Kwan, one of the American delegates, and a friend of mine from Angel Grove."
"Ciao," Lucrezia said.
"Ciao, come stai?" Trini asked.
"Molto bene, e tu" Lucrezia replied, her surprise evident.
"Buono," Trini replied.
"I didn't know you spoke Italian," Jason said, amused.
Trini smiled, "I learned a few phrases from my roommate, Rachele. So, why are you over here? I thought you had debate right now?"
"We just got out," Lucrezia said, leaning against Jason pointedly. She kissed his cheek, "I have to call home, Jason. Shall I see you in an hour, for the movie?"
"All right," Jason replied, kissing her cheek gently.
Trini watched the girl leave as Jason sat down, "New girl?" Trini asked.
"I think so," Jason said. "We've been talking after debate lately, and I just felt inspired to invite her to see this Russian movie. Our teacher said we should see it, and I suggested we go together, so that we could be two people who didn't understand together."
"Hopefully this will go better than you and Katie," Trini said, turning back to her books.
"Trini, are you mad at me?" Jason asked.
"No, Jason," Trini replied, "I've got this translation to complete for class." In her mind, she added, I don't have time to listen to you moon over the pretty Italian girl. Why don't you go find Zack and you two can moon over your girls together?
"Sorry," Jason said, "I'm going to go get ready." He stood up and wandered off.
