"Well she taught you very well! My parents own a laundromat," Kemon told him dryly. "Can you say 'Scholarship Kid'?" she chuckled. "They work hard, but they haven't had the time or money to do what they want to do. My batia is a chemistry genius, and my matia is an artist."

"There's nothing wrong with being here on a scholarship. I'm here on an academic one. My family doesn't earn much either, and I kinda left because I can tell they want a kid of their own," he pointed to the couple in the wedding photo.
"There's not much room at home, so at least they can turn my room into a nursery while I'm gone...Now, if I'm right, a "batia" is a dad, and a "matia" is a mum, right?"
Hamish took the photos on the counter, sliding them back into the correct pages of his album.
"So, does your sister look exactly like you? Just in case I mistake her for being you..." he said another cheesy grin.

"Yes, sorry, batia is father and matia is mother. It's habit..." Hearing his question about her sister, Kemon laughed. "No, she doesn't look much like me at all. For one, she's much taller. You won't mistake her for me. Hey, umm, do you wanna do a photo shoot together sometime?" she asked, wondering if he would like the idea.

"Uh...a photo shoot? Like...with um...with models?" He asked, with a tone of uncertainty.
"I'm not all to sure, to be honest...I haven't...I don't really use models...I kinda just take a photo when it happens, I don't really make it happen, I just...I'm kinda at the scene when it happens, you know? I don't really organize it, I just take a photo when I see something I like...the weather, animals, events, people, places...S-Sorry, I'm not too good at explaining it..."
Hamish wasn't exactly sure how to explain it, but he never used models purposely. When he saw something he liked, he took a photo. To him, it was as simple as that. But he thought about what he said over again.
"I guess it'd be good to learn...Do you want to...um, do you want to t-teach me?"

"Oh! I didn't mean with models! Sorry, photo shoot was wrong? I...I don't know what you call it here...I meant just to walk around together and take pictures at sunset or sunrise or some place with really good picture places, and compare and give each other critical...umm...c-constructive criticism? Is that right?" she asked, stumbling over her ordinarily-very-good English.

“Oh! Right…I’m sorry, I forgot you aren’t from around here…Well, neither am I, I’m actually English…anyway…” Hamish articulated, happy that he officially had a friend, that wasn’t his freaky roommate…
He suddenly remembered the talk he had with Dyniste on the night he arrived at Four Oaks Academy. The conversation on the school dance…His face burned a bright red at the thought of it. It was probably a good idea to not mention Kemon to him, in case Dyniste made an assumption, or worse…
“Um…The t-time, date and pl-place are…uh… are c-com-completely up to you. I’m pr-pretty much f-free all the time, except…except on school days, o-of course…and I…er…I haven’t been here for very long…so…I don’t really know any…any, ah…any good spots to take photos. So…uh…wha-what time and where?”

Seeing his face turn red, Kemon was curious, but decided not to say anything. "Hmmm, well it should be after the dance cause it's starting in like 30 minutes...and there is always a beach party afterwards, which means I'm gonna crash tomorrow...Wanna catch the sunset tomorrow? The weather's supposed to be 'partly cloudy' which means it should be a pretty one." she suggested, wondering if he would like that idea. Then she glanced at her watch again. "Crap! I still have to get dressed, and I was supposed to meet Alisa for that! I'ma have to go...sorry...wanna meet me here tomorrow evening, around 6:30?"

"Y-yeah...Uh...No problem…See…See you at 6.30...Or at the dance...or…or whatever." Hamish said, still unsure about going, even though he knew his roommate would probably piggy back him to the dance if he had to.
“I should probably go get dressed too, that is, if I’m going…I’m not really sure…Anyways, I’ll see you later, Kemon. It was nice meeting you.”
He picked up his things and went back to his dorm, half-hoping Dyniste wouldn’t be there to convince him into going.
(I'll guess we'll end this here)

"Nice meeting you too!" Kemon called after him. She then quickly made her way to her room to meet Alisa...
