Just give it time. The people I've met when I came here said they've waited even years before someone they knew came here. [As much as she wants to avoid that.]

Well, I lived in France with my family but we originally came from Japan. We moved when I was a little girl.

As for school, it's a boarding school rather than a public school. All of my friends live there but I usually head home when it gets dark. If you want to know how the classes are, the teachers are strict and won't hesitate to call you out if you're messing around. I'm a fairly good student there and some of the teachers there kind of like me, especially the gym teacher.
