Foreign Exchange (LaMelo Ball)

Friends

*Zosime's POV*

"So where is that girllll?" I heard a voice from the hallway say.
"Zosime!" I heard LaMelo yell out.
"Yeah??" I called back, putting my shirt on.
"Come to my room when you get a chance I want you to meet my friends!" he called.
"Okay!" I called back. I put on my pair of shorts and threw my long hair behind my shoulders. I walked out of my room and knocked on Melo's door. "Yeah!" he called. I opened the door and there was two other guys sitting on the bed and there was a girl on one of their lap's and another girl sitting on the couch in Melo's room. "This is Zeke, Diana, Dane and Dane's girl Melanie," Melo pointed everyone out.
"We are not dating yet!" Melanie scolded Melo. Melo rolled his eyes and laughed at her, then looked back at me. "This is Zosime," he told them. I waved at them. "She needs a nick name," Zeke nodded, "That's a hard name to say."
"Zo-see-mi," I said in syllables so that he could get it.
"Got it," Melanie nodded.
"Cant do Zo cause Lonzo," Zeke continued to think.
"You wanna stay and chill with us?" Diana asked.
"Chill?" I questioned.
"Hang out," Melo nodded. I shrugged a bit and nodded. I shut the door behind me and sat down next to Diana on the couch. "Those two are dancers," Melo told me.
"Really??" I looked at them, smiling, "So am I!"
"Really!" Diana nodded, "Melanie is actually captain."
"I was head of my dance team back in Athens!" I smiled at her.
"That's cool!" Melanie smiled.
"What about Mimi??" Zeke blurted out, "Nah, nah scratch that!" I laughed a little bit and shook my head. We all continued to talk and get to know each other. The boys started playing video games and the girls and I talked more. "So it cool living here?" Diana asked.
"It's different," I nodded, "The time change is hard."
"What time would it be there now?" Melanie asked. I checked the time on my phone and it was 11AM. "7PM," I told them.
"Wow," they both said.
"I know," I nodded.
"So we have dance try outs next week the week before school," Melanie smiled, "I hope to see you there!"
"I will be," I nodded.
"Her accent is so freaking cool," Zeke said.
"Thank you!" I smiled small.
"Yup!" he called back, his eyes never leaving the TV. For the next couple hours we just hung out and talked a bit.

"Did you have fun today?" LaMelo asked.
"I did," I smiled at him, "Thank you."
"For?" he chuckled a little bit.
"Helping me make friends," I smiled small at him.
"Of course," he nodded. I put my head on his shoulder and he put his head on mine. My stomach filled with butterflies. I never had feeling before. It's always stuff I've read about in novels but I never thought that it was true. I wonder what it means...
