1st Day of Class Part 1:
"It was the first day of school. Kris arrived at the school gym, where he's supposed to get his new schedule. As he walked while wearing trendy clothes, his fashion sense and good looks grabbed the attention of the student body. While wearing a plaid-pattern lapel neck short sleeved shirt, ripped jeans made by Levi's, green colored Vans shoes, a gold ring on his index finger, a leather jacket, and black polarized sports sunglasses, Kris looked like a smart jock," Tom Brady narrated as Kris was walking to the gym to get his class schedule for the school year.
When he arrived at the table, which was filled with sophomore students whose last names started with X and ended with Z, Kris identified himself and he received his schedule.
"Hmm. So I got Pre-Calculus for my first period, then World Core for my second, Chemistry Honors for third, Core Literature for fourth, Spanish 2 for fifth, Drama Honors for sixth, Choir B for seventh, Culinary Arts for eighth, and Sports Medicine for ninth," Kris thought. "Looks like a dope schedule to me. "Looks like I'm headed to Pre-Calculus Honors."
As today was the day for he walked to Room 12A, where his Pre-Calculus Honors class is, Kris walked inside the class and was surprised to see Cecelia and Alicia in the classroom.
"Cecelia?" Kris said to Cecelia.
"Oh my god, Kris. Can't believe you're in the same class as me," Cecelia said with a smile. "What other classes are you taking?"
"I'm taking Sports Medicine, Spanish 2, Choir B, Drama Honors, Culinary Arts, World Core, Core Literature, and Chemistry Honors," Kris said.
"Wait, you're taking Spanish 2 with Señora Delgado, right?" Cecelia inquired.
"Yeah, what period do you have her?" Kris asked.
"I have her fifth," Cecelia said.
"No way," Kris said with a smile. "I'm glad I know someone who's taking another class with me besides Pre-Calculus."
"Well, buena suerte en la clase de español," Cecelia said.
While they found their seats, Kris found a desk in the back and decided to sit there. As it turned out, Alicia took a seat on the desk next to the desk Kris was about to sit on. Not wanting to be predictable, Kris decided to sit somewhere else on the back. As he found a desk in the back to sit on, he found himself sitting next to a student of Indian-American origin.
"While most people tend to look down at Indians for being nerdy geeks, Kris is not like most people. It just depends on how they interact
When the Pre-Calculus teacher came to the class, the teacher wrote Mr. Zhao on the class whiteboard.
"Good morning students. I'm Mr. Zhao, your Pre-Calculus Honors teacher. Before we get into the syllabus, I'm giving you guys a pop-quiz," Mr. Zhao said while handing out sheets of printed paper.
"Is this a quiz where we answer questions about you?" Alicia questioned.
"You got that right. Not to be narcissistic, but I felt it would be an interactive way to tell you guys about myself before diving into the lecture," Mr. Zhao said. "You got five minutes to answer ten questions."
When Mr. Zhao started the timer, Kris saw the questions were relatively straightforward.
As he read through the questions, Kris answered the questions with probable answers. However, as he read through the last question, Kris was slightly stumped. The question was: Was Mr. Zhao bullied during his childhood?
"This type of question is what Kris felt a little empathetic to someone like Mr. Zhao. So, he decided to write, yes," Tom Brady narrated as Kris wrote down the answer to the last question.
When time was up, Mr. Zhao decided to give out the answers. While giving out the answers, Mr. Zhao gave a presentation that told some information about himself. Kris was fascinated that Mr. Zhao likes watching movies, especially Korean films.
"Well, on to the last question. Was I bullied during my childhood? Yes, yes I was. That was because I used to be overweight. I was lonely and depressed. I knew I had to get my life together, so I worked out and lost a lot of weight. Despite losing, the bullying didn't stop. But the bullying I experienced when I lost weight wasn't severe compared to the bullying I experienced when I used to be overweight," Mr. Zhao said. "So, when I started high school, I became a troublemaker and gave my bullies a taste of their own medicine through pranks. Even though I got suspended twice for pulling pranks against my bullies, it didn't stop me from getting into Stanford. I graduated as part of their Class of 2015 as a Teaching Major."
"Damn. I never thought Mr. Zhao would be someone who'd fight back," Kris thought.
"If you ask me what pranks I pulled on my bullies, I'm gonna tell you. But just so you know, they're not harmless pranks in any aspect. My pranks are inspired by the pranks from the Big Bang Theory, like the infamous Foam Lab prank," Mr. Zhao said.
Everyone included Kris chucked for a bit.
"So, if you guys are going through some social problems with your peers, let me know, aight?" Mr. Zhao said before he ended his presentation that told a little information about himself.
When the presentation ended, Mr. Zhao decided to get into the syllabus.
"Alright, you guys. The syllabus is actually straightforward. This class is going to help you develop a foundation necessary for both AP Calculus AB and BC. Let me tell you, this is an honors class. We'll be moving at a rigorous pace. So, try to keep up. If you guys need any help or have difficulty understanding the material, please do not hesitate to ask me or your classmates. However, I am very serious about academic honesty and integrity. Especially since the cheating scandal that was caused last year by this year's seniors. If you guys are feeling a little uneasy about something that makes you want to have an unfair advantage over your classmates, please let me know. I'm not going to cancel or postpone any exams, but I will curve exams depending on the scores, including the final. Also, the grade cutoffs will be adjusted depending on the overall class average. Let me tell you, this is not a course to be taken lightly," Mr. Zhao said as he gave his presentation about the class syllabus.
"So we'll be going in-depth about functions this semester. I'm taking about Linear, Exponential, Polynomial, Rational, Logarithmic, Trigonometric, and Periodic Functions. The spring semester will mostly cover Trigonometric Identities and Equations, Trigonometric Applications, Systems of Equalities and Inequalities, Analytic Geometry, Sequences, Probability, and Counting Theory, and a little bit of Calculus," Mr. Zhao explained. "As for homework, you must turn them in before each unit exam. I won't give deadlines to turn in the homework after the exam. I will be checking your homework for completion, but I won't be grading your homework for accuracy. I expect all of you to show your work on how you solved the homework problem. If I even see only an answer to one problem that requires work and the answer to be shown, I will be giving that person a zero on the homework assignment. Your homework is worth 20% of your overall grade, unit exams are worth 40%, final exam is worth 15%, participation is worth 10%, and the midterm project is worth 15%."
Everyone was confused and wondered what the midterm project is.
"I can see the faces of confusion on your face and I'll explain what the midterm project is. The midterm project is where you research on how pre-calculus is used in real-life. There will be a similar project like this at the end of the spring semester and that'll assign you to research about how you will use calculus in real life," Mr. Zhao said. "I'll go into detail about both projects as we go through the course. However, I must tell you that everyone should be proactive in the classroom. That way, we can learn the course material more efficiently. After all, we are a social species."
"Oh, one more thing. Each unit exam will cover a unit each. The homework that needs to be turned in before each unit exam will cover the topics on what is expected in each exam. Therefore, I won't be testing you on topics we haven't discussed in class," Mr. Zhao said. "In the meantime, introduce yourselves to your classmates and get to know each other. And remember, be proactive. It's a trait that'll help you in the future."
As the students in Mr. Zhao's class got to know each other, Kris talked to the Indian-American student that sat next to him.
"Sup, man? I'm Krishna Yadav. You can call me Kris," Kris said while introducing himself.
"I'm Akhil. Akhil Raman," the Indian-American said. "Not gonna lie, you actually seem like a jock because of your build."
"Yeah, I'm on the football team. I transferred from the Bay Area to LA," Kris said. "What about you?"
"Well, for starters, people often assume I'm a nerd/geek because of my ethnicity. The truth is, I'm a student-athlete like you man. I play basketball for the Trojans as a center," Akhil said. "What Indian language do you speak?"
"Oh, I speak Telugu. Based on your surname, I guess yours is Tamil?" Kris said.
"You got that right. But I'm also half-Kannadiga and I speak Kannada as well," Akhil said.
"I see. What clubs are you in?" Kris asked.
"Actually, I'm part of the Bolly Hills Dance Squad, it's our high school's Bollywood hip-hop/rock dance team," Akhil said. "I'm also part of the Sports Analytics Club. It's where we analyze the statistics of professional athletes and determine which players are going to be essential key players for each team."
"Sounds like Fantasy team planning," Kris remarked.
"It sure is. I also like watching football. I wished I could play, but I didn't want to risk a concussion," Akhil said.
"Fair enough," Kris remarked.
"What about you? You speak any other Indian languages?" Akhil casually inquired.
"Nah. Just Telugu. Are your parents immigrants?" Kris said.
Akhil nodded. "I'm not an immigrant, but I'm born and raised here in the States."
"No way. I'm also born and raised in California as well. Actually, my parents are not immigrants. They were also born here in the States. And they're divorced," Kris said.
"Sorry to hear that," Akhil apologized. "So, you have a step-mother along with step-siblings?"
Kris nodded. "My step-mother Amanda and my step-sister Caitlyn are great. They used to be my neighbors when I moved to Palo Alto 3 years ago. My blended family and I had to come to LA because of her job and my dad's chemotherapy, which he's undergoing once a week."
"Wow. So if your parents were born in the States, how'd your grandparents came to be?"
"My maternal grandmother fell in love with an Anglo-Indian back in Baltimore around 1960. Her father was against their love. He was old-fashioned," Kris said.
"Expected, as your maternal grandparents love story was certainly uncommon during those times," Akhil said. "It's expected that Indian immigrants prefer to mingle with their own communities."
"After my maternal grandparents got married, my aunt Anitha was born first. A few years later, my mother Rhyah was born. My aunt Anitha lived in India until she was 16 with her mom and moved back to the States and studied business at Yale. My mom studied at Berkeley for her undergad," Kris said.
"How'd your mom meet your dad?" Akhil asked.
"My dad met my mom at medical school. They studied at John Hopkins together. They bonded over their mixed Indian heritage. Turns out my dad is half-Polish and half-Telugu. My paternal grandparents were both immigrants," Kris said.
"Your parents were medical school sweethearts, that's beautiful," Akhil said. "I presume that your parents' divorce was an amicable one."
"What about you?" Kris asked. "I presume your parents had a love marriage?"
Akhil nodded. "Yeah, they did. Not like yours though. My parents didn't divorce and stayed together. When my parents revealed their relationship while they were studying computer science, my grandparents were against the relationship. After fighting for four years, they finally agreed to my parents' wedding. Now, I'm raised in both cultures while speaking both languages."
"Well, success in a relationship like this is really rare," Kris remarked.
"Yeah. Actually, you're not the only mixed Indian here in Beverly Hills. There are like 6 or 7. Although most of their Indian heritage is from the northern India, they'd like to see someone a South Indian with mixed heritage," Akhil said.
"Lemme guess. Most of the mixed Indians are females?" Kris inquired.
Akhil nodded. Kris reacted with surprise.
"Yup. They're also part of the Bolly Hills Dance Squad. Imma introduce you to them during lunch. Give me your phone number," Akhil said. "At lunch, our school's an open campus."
"Shit, for real?" Kris inquired.
"Yeah," Akhil said.
When Akhil and Kris decided to split to meet their classmates, Kris met with Cecelia.
"You know, I don't really do this, but can I get your number?" Kris asked playfully.
"Sure. I mean, we're classmates and friends, so yeah," Cecelia said with a smile while she gave her phone number to Kris. "Meanwhile, go talk to Alicia."
"Aight. But I'm doing this my way," Kris said after Cecelia gave her number to him.
When Kris walked up to Alicia, Alicia saw Kris and was somewhat enamored by him. As she looked at Kris, Alicia wondered why Kris is approaching her.
"Hey. I'm Kris, by the way. I actually transferred from the Bay," Kris said while introducing himself to her.
"No one asked," Alicia said with a condescending tone. "Besides, I'm surprised a pretty boy like you is in Pre-Calculus Honors."
"Just so you know, don't judge the book by its cover," Kris said.
"I hear that all the time. Tell me something I haven't heard before," Alicia said. "Honestly, I know Cecelia asked me to flirt with you"
"I may be pretty, but I'm not a stupid flirtatious dummy you can pass insults too. They say insults stem from insecurity. So what makes you insecure?" Kris questioned.
Alicia was slightly stunned. She didn't take Kris to be a bit of an intellectual.
"Damn. Not bad. I'm a little bit impressed. Want to have a do-over?" Alicia said while being impressed. "I'm Alicia."
"I'm Kris."
When they shook hands, they felt a bit shy and pulled their hands quickly.
"Mind if I ask why you dislike Cecelia?" Kris asked.
"She's always trying to get me to experience things that I'm not interested in. Like parties, having boyfriends, doing some "other things," Alicia said. "And no, I don't dislike her."
"Well, it's nice that you know the risks involved in stuff that teens do. I mean, our brains aren't fully mature enough to handle serious relationships," Kris said.
"True. I mean, there comes a time where we make mistakes. We just have to make sure those mistakes don't ruin our lives and careers," Alicia said. "What classes are you taking?"
"I'm actually taking, Chemistry Honors, World Core, Core Literature, Spanish 2, Sports Medicine, Drama Honors, and Culinary Arts," Kris said.
"I'm actually taking Chemistry Honors, World Core, and Core Literature as well. What periods do you have them at?" Alicia said.
"I have World Core at 2nd period, Chemistry Honors at 3rd, and Core Literature at 4th," Kris said.
"You're lucky. I have Chemistry Honors right after Pre-Calculus. Who's your teacher?" Alicia inquired.
"It's someone named Mrs. Patricia Russo," Kris said.
"I have her too. She's a good teacher. What about World Core and Core Literature?" Alicia asked.
"For World Core, a teacher named Mr. Long. For Literature, it's Mrs. Woods," Kris said.
"Oh, I got different teachers and at different periods. Looks like we're math and science buddies for the year," Alicia said.
"Yeah. I heard from Cecelia that you play soccer," Kris said. "What position?"
"I play center back. But I'm actually aiming to play on the track team as a shotputter," Alicia said. "I also heard you're on the football team. I overheard you talking to Akhil What position?"
"I'm starting linebacker and back-up tight end," Kris said.
"You know defensive linebackers also have the same value as defensive cornerbacks. It's true that tight ends are a mix of attributes relating to offensive lineman and wide receivers, but they're a dime a dozen. Linebackers and defensive backs, they're priceless," Alicia explained.
"Thanks for that. How do you know about football anyway?" Kris inquired.
"My older brother used to play for the football team. He graduated a few months ago and is now attending Texas A&M," Alicia said.
"Hmm. That sounds like a good school," Kris said.
"It is. You know, my brother was also accused of taking part in the academic cheating scandal last year. Luckily, he proved his innocence and his scholarship was safe. However, he couldn't forget that his future was about to be taken away from him. So, he decided to cut ties with the Trojans," Alicia said.
"I'm sorry to hear that. It must have been real tough out for him," Kris said empathetically.
"It's okay," Alicia said. "Why do you sound like you're from NorCal?"
"Oh, I lived in NorCal for three years before coming to LA," Kris said. "I was born and raised in LA myself. I don't remember which elementary school I attended back in LA."
"Hmm. Tell you what, give me your number, so we can help each other out, academically," Alicia said.
"You know, Cecelia was wrong about you. You're not condescending at all," Kris said while he gave his number to Alicia.
"Well, it's because I don't really mingle well with the kids here. I've been picked on most of the time because I don't know how to have fun. Most of them are just focused on living their lives and having fun. I know for a fact that they're also academically focused. But I don't see it. That's why I'm being condescending towards most people. To be honest, I initially thought you were part of "most people," Alicia explained. "Maybe you can teach me how to have fun."
"Well, come to the football game this week. We can have fun there," Kris said while Alicia gave her number to him.
After exchanging numbers, the class bell had rung.
"So, I'll see you later?" Kris asked.
Alicia nodded. After she nodded, she walked out of the classroom with her bag and said bye to him. When she left, Cecelia was a little shocked that Kris became fast friends with Alicia.
"How the hell did you become friends with someone that condescending?" Alicia asked while being a bit shell-shocked.
"All it takes is a first impression. Looks like you didn't give a very good first impression when you tried to get her to have fun," Kris said.
"Fair point. See you in Spanish," Cecelia said as she gave a fist bump to Kris.
While Cecelia walked, she felt her shoulder get tapped by someone else. When she turned around, she saw that it was Alicia who tapped her shoulder.
"Why're you trying to set me up?" Alicia questioned. "Look, I'm fine with how I am. Sure, I don't have fun very often, but atleast I like who I am."
"Wait, I thought you liked Kris," Cecelia said.
"As a friend, not as some romantic interest. Sure, he looks cute, handsome, and smart. But I'm not really in the mood for a relationship. Besides, you can have him," Alicia said before she walked away.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Cecelia asked.
"Oh come on, I've seen the way you looked at Kris. Also, I'm pretty sure he's got eyes on you too. So what made you like him?" Alicia questioned.
Cecelia explained the events that happened a few days ago at Marcus Jones's party.
"Damn. He showed that he's smarter than Ben Gross and you splashed a drink you spit on at Ben Gross's face when Ben attempted to sucker punch him?" Alicia questioned, who was surprised at how the events have turned out.
"Actually, I kicked his Jewish nuts first. Sorry if I sounded anti-Semitic, but he's way too annoying and condescending," Cecelia said. "Especially since he called me Elle Woods."
"He's not wrong though. Although I know you hate being compared to fictional characters that are stereotyped, you are somewhat like Elle Woods and Kris is more like an Indian Emmott Richmond," Alicia said.
"Do you want me to annoy you enough by trying to set up you up with boys that I find suitable for you?" Cecelia questioned with frustration.
"Hey, calm down. No need for that. Besides, I'm happy with how I am," Alicia said before she walked off.
After Alicia ended their conversation, Cecelia headed to her next class, which is General Chemistry.
As Kris was going through his classes, his classes hadn't been surprisingly tough, especially his Chemistry and Drama Honors classes. When the Drama Honors class ended, it was time for lunch. When Akhil called, Kris answered.
"Yo, where we meeting up?" Kris asked.
"Come over to the parking lot. We'll be taking a car," Akhil said.
"Alright," Kris replied.
When Kris saw Akhil at the parking lot, he walked towards him and Akhil's blue-colored 2023 Audi R8.
"So, where are we headed for lunch?" Kris said.
"The Cheesecake Factory," Akhil said. "Oh, meet a few friends of mine. This is Aditya, Pranav, Madhav, and Samantha."
As they introduced themselves, Kris introduced himself. Based on how they looked, Kris deduced all of them have Indian ancestry due to common physical characteristics like similar skin tone and black eyes.
"So, how'd you hear about our Bolly Hills Dance Squad?" Aditya asked.
"Well, Akhil told me. Where're the others?" Kris said.
"Oh, they're coming in a bit. Guys, I forgot to tell you, turns out, he has some Polish and Anglo-Indian ancestry from his grandparents," Akhil said.
"Really?" Pranav said while looking at Kris. "It doesn't seem like it. Yet again, it's hard to tell if an Indian has some ancestry."
Initially doubtful, Pranav stared at Kris a little closely and noticed Kris's face.
"Never mind. I was wrong. Turns out your have eyes shaped like James McAvoy," Pranav said. "No Indian person would ever have eyes reminiscent to the shape of eyes of Scottish people."
"You're actually right. My maternal grandfather's Anglo-Indian with Scottish origin. My paternal grandmother's actually Polish," Kris said.
"Wow. Not gonna lie, a lot of girls in our Bolly Hills Dance Squad are also have mixed ancestry," Madhav said.
"We heading out right now?" Kris said.
"Yeah," Samantha said. "Oh, you can tell me about your family. I'm also mixed."
"Sweet," Kris said. "Looks like I'll be sitting in the back."
When Akhil drove off to the Cheesecake factory with Kris and the others, Kris learned Samantha is half-Malayali and half-German.
"Wow. So, you like watch any Indian movies?" Kris asked.
"Yeah, I did watch Bangalore Days, though. It was fun," Samantha said.
"I liked that movie too. It just seemed so fresh in terms of screenplay," Kris said.
"What language do you speak?" Samantha asked.
"I speak Telugu," Kris said.
"No way. Our team captain also speaks Telugu. She's also mixed," Samantha said.
"Akhil told me that the Bolly Hills Dance Squad has a lot of mixed Indian girls," Kris said as he looked unsurprised.
"Yeah. It sounds too good to be true, but you're the first mixed Indian guy male that they'll be talking to. Besides, they'll definitely like you. I mean, you make a good first impression, especially since you're friends with Alicia Coleman," Samantha said.
"How'd you hear that?" Kris wondered as no one except Cecelia knew about Kris's friendship with her.
"Well, Cecelia Jensen's our queen bee. I mean, not only is she a cheerleader, she's also our star volleyball player. She's a hardcore setter," Samanatha said.
"Lemme guess, you're on the volleyball team?" Kris inquired.
"Bingo. Not gonna lie, I guess it was kind of obvious when I mentioned Cecelia," Samantha said.
"Actually, I met Cecelia at a party. I don't know if you know this, but she told off Sherman Oaks High brainiac Ben Gross," Kris said.
"Damn. I thought she told off that Indian girl that was paralyzed due to her dad's death at a spring orchestra concert," Samantha said. "Honestly, that dickhead deserved it. Just because he's rich doesn't mean he can say shit about any of us."
"Yeah, I've been hearing about that girl. What's so special about her anyway, besides her being paralyzed?" Kris questioned.
"The thing about her is that her paralysis is a mystery. There's no medical reason why her paralysis set in," Samantha explained. "I actually heard about it from my mom. She's huge on gossip."
"The fact that there's no medical reason behind her paralysis is indeed interesting. Maybe it's some psychological shock that affected her physical mobility," Kris theorized.
"Hmm. That's not a bad theory, given the level of trauma a parent's unexpected death can cause," Samantha said, supporting Kris's theory.
"Can we table this discussion for another time? I really don't like gossiping about someone who'd been through something tragic. What I do like to talk is about how the Bolly Hills Dance Squad is," Kris said.
"Well, we won a lot of dance championships, we went out-of-state many times, and beat kids from a high school in Texas last year," Pranav said.
"Hmm. So, do I have to try out or something?" Kris said anxiously.
"Yeah. Since I figured you're friends with the football team, as well as Cecelia and Alicia, I figured having some Indian friends wouldn't hurt," Akhil said. "That's why I invited you."
"When are tryouts?" Kris inquired.
"Tryouts start in early December, which I believe can occur after the regular football season," Madhav said. "If you make the tryouts, you don't have to audition for the team in the future."
"That doesn't seem fair to the underclassmen," Kris expressed.
"I understand what you're saying, but we have a code of conduct and honor that's similar to fraternities and sororities in colleges," Samantha said. "We uphold the values that Indian culture teaches us. Sure, we cuss a lot, act wild, and drink alcohol like every teenager does. If there's any member who doesn't represent the strength of character we like to cultivate, that person will be kicked off the team for good."
"Have there been instances like that?" Kris inquired.
"Well, mostly with people who we feel are disrespecting our culture as well as setting our Indian community back in terms of being accepted for who we are and what we represent," Madhav said.
"That explains why you guys are so chill yet cultured at the same time," Kris said. "Sorry if that came out wrong."
"Nah. You good," Samantha said. "I know first days are always weird, so we straight."
"We also kicked out former members from our dance squad who were part of the academic cheating scandal that affected the football team," Pranav said. "Akhil told us that you play football."
"Yeah. I wasn't happy when I heard about that shit. But, I'm trying to make the best of what we have," Kris said.
"Actually, I've heard from Kevin Lordan that you've pushed the entire team to be better than they ever were. Their hopes for this season were down when the entire team got penalized for the cheating scandal," Samantha said. "You actually seemed to have changed the team culture there."
"Well, we have to win games in order to prove ourselves and make a statement. Plus, everyone on the football team or any member of a high school athletic team or extracurricular is a student-athlete. Student comes first," Kris stated.
"I like how you're being humble while you admitted your role in changing the football team for the better," Pranav said. "You have any idea which college you want to go to?"
"I don't know. Whatever school's trying to recruit me, offer me a preferred walk-on, and give me an academic scholarship based on my merit," Kris said.
"Why not go for an athletic scholarship?" Akhil questioned.
"Well, I feel athletic scholarships put athletes in a bind. The pressure to do well in college sports and academics, it's a lot," Kris said. "Plus, I don't want to take away an athletic scholarship from someone that deserves it more or works harder than me."
"I see. I respect that," Madhav said.
As they arrived at the Cheesecake Factory, Kris met the other members of the Bolly Hills Dance Squad.
"Hey, you must be Kris. I'm Annabeth. Annabeth Rudraju," a girl of Anglo-Indian descent said, introducing herself.
Kris was somewhat dazzled by her flawless beauty. However, Kris tried to play it cool and introduced himself to her.
"Damn. I know a mixed Indian person when I see one. You, my friend, are definitely one-of-a-kind," Angela said.
While Kris looked at her face, which showed a light skin tone, an oval face shape, blue irises, almond shaped eyes, dirty blonde hair tied around a ponytail, thin lips, and round-shaped ears, Kris felt a little shy and looked away.
As Annabeth looked at Kris, she noticed his dark brown skin complexion, strong jawline, almond shaped eyes with black irises, jet black hair, wide lips, round-shaped ears, and diamond faced shape, Annabeth couldn't help but admire his good looks. However, she didn't let his good looks catch her off guard.
"Looks like it's your first time meeting someone who looked beautiful than any other person you've met at Beverly Hills, right?" Annabeth inquired.
"Yeah, it sure has been. Never thought I'd meet or see another blue-eyed Indian like Aishwarya Rai," Kris mentioned.
"Yeah, I mean, what's up with that?" Annabeth said.
They both shared a laugh and decided to head inside the Cheesecake Factory with the Bolly Hills Dance Squad.
