You know, usually I'm completely thrilled to spend time with my sister. But right now? Extremely happy to be occupying a zone that she and Xander aren't. A completely weirdness free zone. One that I can shut the door to, keep them out of, and make my own space.
It's good, really. No time at all and it'll feel like home. Well, not exactly home...but as we've established, home's at the bottom of a giant crater about 3 hours from here.
And amazingly considering it was just Xander living here until today? I think my room is quite possibly bigger than it was in Rome. Not as fancy with the finer details or anything, but that doesn't matter at all to me. I'm just happy to be here in L.A. Going back to a real school, one in the states? Never thought I'd be so happy about the concept of school. Guess the Watcher Juniorness from most of this past spring upped my appreciation for school.
Until then? Not much better off than I was in Italy in terms of having friends around, but I'll figure something out. This city has what? Just under 4 million? 10 thousand or so in my age bracket. It can't be overly hard to find someone to hang out with. Aside from the fact that I have like, minimal social skills. Being a Slayer's kid sister/shiny key...can't exactly be honest and open with random people which makes it kinda hard to make friends.
Maybe I'll just go explore the neighbourhood for a little while, look for some stuff to decorate my room with? Sounds like a plan. And it gets me away from the insane people that are supposed to be responsible for me.
