Zara was upset. Astrid, her user, was completely unimpressed by her own world and always bringing up going back to the grid. The program only worried about the girl's safety alone while she was enrolled in school, and was desperate to find ways to impress Astrid with Earth enough to make her stay at least while Zara was taking her classes.
She went out to the Courtyard, where most of the kids were seen 'hanging out' with those not in the same hall as them. Maybe someone here could give her advice?

Boredom. Yes, Henry was bored, wandering throughout the courtyard, wearing a cap. Backwards. Yes, his father would kill him if he cared. His bright green eyes flashed over at Zara. Different, that's what he thought of her. Since Henry risked a lot seeing Helen, he might as well talk to this girl.
"Hey, I'm James." he said with a smile on his face. Flirting? Not really. Betty brought down Henry's chances of flirting after hearing her say 'You don't understand women, Henry.' Worth a shot to talk to this girl though.

Zara looked up, a little confused, but noticing the boy, "Hello James. I'm Zara." She held her hand out. This was custom with humans, after all. They shook hands. A very strange greeting, but one she understood from the start.

Henry grabbed Zara's hand. No doubt she was probably freaked out by Henry, as most people were. "So, you got something on your mind, or, something?" he asked. Henry was just so great with talking to girls.

Zara flinched at the contact, drawing her hand backwards. That was one program flaw of hers- contact with others freaked her out unless she trusted the other person. "Well, kinda," Zara smirked, mentally finishing, 'if you call programming a mind.' The program's feet dug into the ground as she looked over at 'James'. He seemed a little... odd.

Great, now what was Henry supposed to say? "Yeah? Well, what ya thinking 'bout then?" he asked after a bit of a pause. He really wasn't good with talking to girls. What made him think it was a good idea to talk to Zara?

"How to impress my..." Zara paused. She couldn't say user, "Girlfriend. She's not really fond of the planet Earth, even though it's her home, and I just want to show her that it's worth it to stay here while we're at school. She keeps wanting to go back to my home and let me stay here and learn alone... I just can't do that." It was personal, but it was what was on her mind- and programs never lie.

Girlfriend? Henry wasn't going to judge. Not now. Yet, why would a girl hate Earth? What other planets were there? Henry wasn't going to ask where Zara was anytime soon. "Well, if she's your girlfriend, the Love Doctor can tell you how to make it seem like... Earth isn't a bad place." Henry said. Restaurants, beaches, whatever. Who was the 'Love Doctor'? Well, Henry wasn't sure how to explain that he was talking about himself if Zara asked about it.

"The Love Doctor?" Zara cocked her head to the side, "Who would that be?" Hopefully whoever this person was, they could help with her situation with Astrid. That would make existence a little easier.

"That'd be me." Henry replied. "Now, you want my help?" Hopefully she would. Then, Henry would have something to do at least. Not wander the courtyard all day.

Zara nodded rather quickly, "Yes, of course!" She was way too eager looking, but she'd do anything to make Astrid happy. She just didn't know how.

Kimi walked in the courtyard, hoping to make a new circle of friends similar to the ones she had at home. She saw two people, great! She walked up to them hoping to at least introduce herself, "Hey, I'm Kimi" she said to them.

"H-hi," Zara was confused. She was in the middle of a conversation and this girl came out of nowhere. Who was she, Kim? This was so confusing. She just needed help with Astrid.

"Sorry I kinda interupted... but I thought nows a better time than never!" she giggled. "So what are you doing?" She asked the girl that was in front of her. She hoped she didn't interrupt anyting important. But she probly did.

Zara sighed, "I'm just asking for advice." This girl seemed a lot like her in a better mood, which may have been cool at another time, but not now. Not when it involved her user.
