Alex happily sat down in the Italian cafe after shopping for school. Caffè Italiano was one of her favourite food shops in all of Diagon Ally... basically the Pizza called for her to bite it.
She sat down at one of the outside tables, under an umbrella, and picked up the menu, deciding what type of pizza to have that afternoon.

Kayden decided pizza was what her stomach was calling for. Amazingly, she could pack away a good portion of food and not become full. Of course, this could have had something to do with the fact that she was a vampire. Kayden pondered this before she shrugged it off and went to Caffè Italiano.
Kayden noticed someone from school sitting alone at a table under an umbrella and thought she would rather eat pizza with someone than alone. She walked up to the table and kindly asked, "Do you mind if I join you?"

Alex jumped when a voice punctured through her head's discussion about different gormet pizza's.
She looked up and saw a girl she recognised briefly from school. "Yeah, sure. Please sit down. Pizza's always better shared." She moved her bags off the chair and placed them beside her. "Im Alex. Alexia Lupin."

Kayden laughed. "I was just thinking that pizza was better shared." Kayden said, placing herself in a chair across from Alex. "I'm Kayden Zabini." Kayden said, offering her hand for Alex to shake.

"Its nice to meet you. I think ive seen you around school previously, but its always nice to meet people up front."
Alex handed her menu over to Kayden to look at. "Do you feel like anything in particular? I was heading towards the Tomato and Origano one myself. Cant go past the gormet."

"Likewise. I think I've seen you around as well. I think we had a class together one year." Kayden pondered this for a second before she took the menu.
Kayden licked her lips. "Yummo, Tomato and Origano sounds FABULOUS!" Kayden said the last word in a sing-song voice and then smiled.

Alex smiled at Kayden's sing-song voice. "Brilliant," she said, then called the waiter over.
"Ciao, potremmo soddisfare l'ordine un pomodoro e una pizza di Origano? Il taglio in 8 sarebbe eccellente," alex told him, slipping into italian easily.
The waiter replied, "Naturalmente, sig.na Lupin. Dovrebbe avere luogo qui in 10 minuti," before walking back inside.
Alex turned back to Kayden with a sigh. "Isnt the Italian language gorgeous! i think only the french beats it."

Kayden somewhat gawked at how easily Alex just started speaking Italian. "I do think Italian is a beautiful language. I think it is most definitely my favorite language spoken. I don't speak a lick of it though." Kayden said sipping some lemon water.

Alex blushed when she realised Kayden was staring. "Sorry," she mumbled. "ive always been comming here since i was young. They taught me how to speak Italian, it was so much fun." Suddenly she grinned. "All thats left now is to find a nice french place, maybe a bakery of sorts, so they can teach me that!"

Kayden laughed. "Well, that's better than what I've got. I can write a few things in Japanese and Chinese and I speak a bit of an Indian language my grandma taught me, but those honestly don't come in handy." Kayden said with a little laugh, drinking come more of her water.

"true," Alex replied, sipping on some chilled fruit punch. "Oh, look. The Pizza's ready," alex said, excitedly. She had noticed one of the waiters coming out of the shop. He walked over in their direction and placed the cut pizza and 2 plates on the table.
"Qui siete, sig.na Lupin, la sig.na Zabini. Il chef mi ha detto che da dirveli 'l'italiano fosse mólto migliore '. Alexia Della Congratulazione." (Here you are, Miss Lupin, Miss Zabini. The chef told me to tell you 'you italian is a lot better'. Congratulation's Alexia.) The waiter announced the first sentence to the both of them, then whispered the added comment.
Alex blushed and replied, "Mi sono esercitato in lungo e duro. Allora ancora, ho avuto un insegnante eccellente." (I practiced long and hard. Then again, i had an excellent teacher.) The waiter smiled widly and walked off. "He was the one who started teaching me Italian," she told to Kayden, grabbing a piece of pizza.

Kayden smiled and nodded as she had a mouth full of pizza. She swallowed her massive bite of food and took yet another drink of her lemon water before she said, "This is the best pizza EVER!"
She took another small bite and continued talking. "How long did it take you to learn Italian? It sounds like you are pretty much fluent in it by now, I'd imagine it would take a while." Kayden said, picking at her food like she usually did. Kayden was one of those people that did better if she could touch what was in front of her.

"oh, umm..." alex thought for a bit, putting her piece of pizza down and using her fingers to count. "well, my family has always been coming to eat here. I think i started to learn simple things at about 5. I didnt really get serious in it till i was 8 or 9. Once i hit The Heights i could only do it in summers. So about 6 years all up."
She took a deep breath, a mouthful of punch, then took another bite of pizza. "I sware this is the best flavour. Simple yet delicious!"

{I'm not sure what your little comment thing is on about...I just saw Zabini so I read it...}
Kayden looked a little like she had lost some hope. "Six years? That's an insanely long amount of time. I guess I'll just stick with the little of the languages I know." Kayden said with a girlish smile.
Kayden took another bite of her slice of pizza and nodded. "Yes, I must agree. This pizza is simple and delicious and I wouldn't want it any other way." Kayden agreed, taking another bite of her pizza.

"well, all that 6 years wasnt on just learning. i did that in about 2. But its getting it fleuent thats the trouble. They have different sentence structure and stuff. But it was so much fun..." alex blushed before adding, "the waiter's hot."

Post by mrsdracomalfoy on Nov 12, 2006 5:59:44 GMT
Kayden laughed an almost melodic laugh. "Yes, I do agree. He is pretty hot. That and his Italian. Good God! It's like being in Heaven on earth. Well, almost." Kayden said, finishing her piece of pizza.

Alex sighed wistfully, spacing out, before taking another piece of pizza. "You know what the only problem is?" she asked Kayden between mouthfuls of food. "Apparantly he has a girlfriend."

Kayden sighed. "What a shame. But I suppose men are like parking spaces. All the good ones are handicapped or taken." Kayden laughed then said, "That sounded a bit mean. But in 'handicapped' I mean gay because obviously they won't want to be with a girl."
Kayden decided to just stop talking because she wasn't helping herself out in the situation. Kayden took a huge bite of food to stop herself from talking any further.

Alex looked at kayden as she talked about handicapped men. She could see her keep on digging herself deeper and alex nearly laughed. Once Kayden took a piece of pizza, Alex really laughed.
"That -" she said, taking a big breath between laughs, "was - so - hilarious!"

Kayden smiled, but it wasn't exactly a sweet smile. "I'm glad I could amuse you. It was my goal in life, you know?" Kayden said with a smirk before she finished off her water.

Alex stopped laughing when Kayden's reply cut through her. "sorry," she mumbled. "My head sometimes stops working and i say things that others dont like."
Alex looked at kayden's smirking face and her face transformed into one of smiling evil. "Although, i cant help it when its true."

Kayden laughed. "Yes, well I have many goals in life, I can just cross amusing you off of it now." Kayden replied with a smile.
"Speaking of lists, I think I still have to get some of my school things." Kayden made a funny face before she made a "Bleck!" noise.

Alex was startled when Kayden made a sound.
"What was that?!" alex asked, surprised, disgusted and intrigued.

Post by mrsdracomalfoy on Nov 19, 2006 22:10:23 GMT
Kayden laughed. "It was a 'bleck' noise. I don't much want to go back to school yet. Of course, I'm sure you must enjoy school a great deal?" Kayden said, asuming Alex was a person that liked school.

Alex shrugged. "So so. I get annoyed with the teachers though. But Quidditch is awsome!"
Alex's eyes suddenly narrowed. "What, do you think im one of those nerdy ravenclaws or something?"
|
|
|
|
Post by mrsdracomalfoy on Nov 20, 2006 7:07:15 GMT
Kayden laughed. "No of course I didn't think you were one of those nerdy Ravenclaws. I don't characterize people by their House." Kayden cleared up.
"Why? Do you think I'm a sly, mouthy, slack my way through school while plotting how to take over the world Slytherin?" Kayden asked with a raised eyebrow.

Post by Administrator on Nov 21, 2006 7:19:46 GMT
Alex pondered this for a moment, until a thought struck her. With a straight a face as she could manage, she replied, "Of course you are. What Slytherin isnt?"
Alex's face stayed straight for a while, until a grin slowly cracked up on her face.

Kayden laughed. "Then you did think right. Except I do not slack my way through school. That and I'm much friendlier and way prettier!" Kayden half joked, half told the truth.
Kayden thought before she added, "You are very good at keeping a straight face. Everytime I have a straight face everyone thinks there is something wrong with me." Kayden laughed lightly.

Alex smiled and flicked her hair back in mock-stuck-up-ed-ness. "I know i am," she said loftily. "I practiced day and night until i could out-straight my father," she paused for emphasis, "and thats with my dear mother changing noses infront of us."
Alex cracked an evil grin. "Although, sometimes i used it myself to get dad to laugh."
