"Can I have an apple martini?"
Those were the first words spoken from Zanna's mouth as she stepped up to the bar. She probably shouldn't get it, as it would probably be followed by several more...but since when did she care? Plus, what was she supposed to do; look like an idiot and order water? And she hadn't gone overboard at Rachel's party. She'd done just fine. She could handle it.
Hopefully.
Dressed in a form fitting black scoopneck shirt and a pair of tight gray skinny jeans, the brunette took a sip of the drink, now moving away from the bar to let other people fill in the space that had previously been hers. While still suckling the drink, Zanna wondered what she should do. Tyler, it appeared, wasn't going to come, and she didn't see anyone else she knew either. Oh well. She'd just..figure out something to do.
She always did. That was just her 'way'. Yes, it was the 'Zanna Way'. [/color][/size]

Lauren pushed open the doors entering the Rose bar, sighing as she sat down on one of the plush seats. She hadn't really managed to stay sober for the last couple of weeks so her order was simple club soda with a lime. Wow pretty boring. She had on a simple low slung white chip and pepper skirt with a C&C Pink and white tank top. A couple neclaces were wrapped around her neck and she had ona little pink ballet flats.
Lauren took a sip of her drink and let it slowly slide don her neck trying to wash away the taste of alchohol. She had reluctantly flew home yesterday from her two week long vacation in the Caribbean Islands when her dad had made a sudden call that she "had to come home". She rolled her eyes at the thought and thjen took another generous sip of her drink. [/font][/size]

Zanna noticed the slightly familiar girl enter the bar, but made no move to approach her. Instead, she found herself a previously empty table and sat at it, still savoring the small martini she held in her hand. After taking another sip, the drink was gone, and she sighed. She probably shouldn't get another one. She really shouldn't get another one. She was doing so well. Maybe one more wouldn't hurt. 'No,' she told herself, mentally of course. She wasn't getting another one. She was restraining herself. She was capable of that...or at least tonight it seemed that she was. [/color][/size]

A light laugh escaped her lips as she walked into the Rose Bar and looked over to her older cousin. "Vous êtes drôle. ." she said then with a small smile on her lips. He'd wanted to come here. She was making sure that he had no more then two drinks at most while she would simply sip on a water. Her hands moved as she smoothed out the black dress she wore. Tight around her upper waist and rather loose everywhere else. A white collared shirt wore underneath, the tips of the sleeves white silk. The dress Aquascutum. "Oui, oui je sais. " he replied as he smiled and watched as she returned his smile with one of his own. "Si, boirez-vous avec moi ?" he asked her then, only to get a responce of her shaking her head. A slight frown formed on his lips, but he didn't push it. And he paused as he looked around for where to sit. Noelle moved then, plucking a piece of lint off her cousin's black collared shirt he wore. Along with a pair of jeans; Filippa K. Spotting Lauren her eyebrows rose slightly. "Hey Lauren." she said then, speaking English for the first time since she'd been with her cousin. And then she spotted Zanna as well. "And Zanna." she added, as she gave a light wave in the girls direction.

Zanna snapped out of her internal fighting as she heard her name. Looking up, she saw Noelle and smiled. She lifted a hand, waved it loftily, then let it settle back against the table. Noticing the male next to Noelle, Zanna subconciously raised her brow, wondering who it could be. Hadn't Tyler asked her to that Cotillion thing? And hadn't she said yes? Maybe the two were only going as friends. Or maybe these two were just related to each other. Zanna didn't know. Shrugging, she let the thought go. Tyler was big enough to handle his life himself. Right? She hoped so. [/color][/size]

She moved over joining the female then. "Zanna, this is my cousin Louis." she said then. "Louis, Zanna." she finished as she introduced the two then. "Vous ve-" he started before he caught himself and smiled a little bit. "Pleased to meet you." he said then in English, with that French accent. He figured he might as well be civil if it was a friend of his cousins.

"Nice to meet you as well," Zanna replied, smile forming on her face as she learned that this was Noelle's cousin and nothing else. Although she'd told herself that Tyler could handle himself, she wasn't quite sure she believed that. "So is he French?" she asked, turning to her fellow female. Oh. Wait, she could've just asked him herself, right? "Are you French?" she asked, nearly repeating the same words as her eyes focused upon the male rather than the female now. [/color][/size]

He nodded his head a little bit then in reply. "I'm from Paris." he informed her then. Not only was he French. But a pretty stuck up Parisian if you caught him on a bad day...or really anytime if he wasn't with Noelle.

"That's really awesome. I went there once on vacation. It really is a beautiful city," Zanna sighed, thinking of her trip. She was about to say 'with beautiful people,' before she realized it would seem as though she was trying to flirt with him. Zanna just didn't flirt. She just didn't. At least not on purpose. Or with people she just met. [/color][/size]

He nodded his head alittle bit. "The most beautiful city in the world." he said with a pause. "At least that's what I think." he added.No, he hadn't been to every city in the world. But he'd traveled a bit through Spain, France, and then of course he'd been to England and that was enough for him. He was playing nice, and that made Noelle happy. She moved then, ordering herself a water...just as she'd planned on doing.

"I haven't been everywhere in the world, but it is the most beautiful of the places I've been to," Zanna replied, nodding slightly. "So how long are you going to stay here?" she asked, trying to continue the casual conversation the two of them were having. [/color][/size]

"Until December, then I'm going Barnard for school." he replied then, as he turned to Noelle to see what she was doing. And watched for a moment as she seemed to be answering a text message.

"That sounds fun. Is it hard to be so far away from your family and friends and things?" Zanna asked. She'd actually asked this for a reason. She was thinking of going to stay in Italy with a friend she'd met on vacation there. She'd be staying there for a month and a half or so, and wasn't sure if she'd be able to handle it.

"Of course it is." he replied then, with a light shrug of his shoulders. "It's always hard to be away from ones family and friends." he paused. "But I'm fine now because I'm with Noelle...but when I go off to school." he said frowning a little bit, to show what he meant.

"I'm so slow. I still haven't decided what college I'm going to go to...or if I'm going to go to college. And I bet having someone with you is always nice," Zanna said, nodding again, then looking around. She needed to do something...or at least she sure as heck wanted to. [/color][/size]
