Great for only two people. Might fit three, but beyond that, it's highly unlikely.

Anya walked into Romano's and looked around. She had been by the place a few times but had never gone in. She found a small table that was currently empty and set down quickly. She looked down at the menu and bit her lip. If she ordered food that would mean she would actually have to talk to someone. She pulled her eyes away from the menu and looked around at the other tables and took a deep breath. It wasn't that she hated people she was just shy around people she didn't know. She finally took a deep breath and picked up the menu looking for something she could eat.

Jewel walked down the street, stopping in front of a place in Queens called Romano's. She needed a walk, and now she figured that she'd do better heading back home with some food in her system.
She walked inside the pizza place, and looked around. It seemed pretty busy. She was so exhausted, although crossing the bridge usually isn't so bad.
She then took a menu, and opened it. She began to read it and walk towards a table at the same time. But she soon find herself tripping over one of the tables.
She managed to not fall, and she looked back from where she tripped. Only to see that their was a girl sitting at the table.
A cute looking girl with brown hair sat at the table. Jewel approached the girl, tilting her head.
"Excuse me, miss? Are you okay? You look a little troubled." She asked the girl.

Anya jumped when she heard someone talking to her. She shyly looked up at the girl and thought about not saying anything. Maybe if she didn't she would go away. She was about to hold the menu up but refrained and looked up again
" Whats good here? " Italian food wasn't exactly what she was use to. Russian and Italian where very different. She grabbed the chair the girl had tripped over and pushed it in watching her. She wasn't sure what she was suppose to say. This girl was the first person that had talked to her in almost 2 weeks. Most people either avoided her or ignored her. She sighed as the girl stood there and she pushed out a chair across from her wit her foot and looked back at the menu. " I don't even know what half of this stuff is "

Jewel sighed as she looked at the girl. She looked over the girl's shoulder at the menu.
"Well, let's see... What's good here? Well, I wouldn't know for sure, but I would just possibly stick with the pizza for now." She told the girl.
Jewel smiled to the girl as she sat down in the chair that was out. "So, why were you looking so troubled when I came over here just now?" she asked.
"By the way, my name is Julianne, or 'Jewel' if you prefer. I'm a newsie from the Bronx. What's your name?" Jewel asked, sticking her hand out to the girl.

Anya looked at the menu and sighed. To Be honest none of stuff on the menu looked good but she decided on the pizza and put the menu down and looked at Jewel.
" I wouldn't say I was troubled I just don't know what the heck I am doing here. " She had been in America exactly 6 months and she still didn't have a job or a place to live. The only income she had so far was the money she picked off people. She looked back down at the table and sighed. " I'm not exactly good with conversation either. Most people don't like talking to a Russian. "
She took the glass of water the waiter had brought her and sighed. " You are the first person I have talked to in a week and I am failing miserably. She smiled taking another drink

Jewel threw a smile in the girl's direction. She then tilted her head to the side, and looked slightly confused.
"You don't know why you're here? She asked her.
Then she heard the girl say she wasn't very good at conversations, and then mentioned something about being Russian.
"Well, it's okay now. I don't mind talking to you. But I'd like to be able to know you a little better so that there is no confusion between us." She said.
"So, what's your name? Where do you live? Are you a newsie or do you just live out here?" Jewel asked the girl.

Anya looked at her trying to gage how much to really tell her. She had figured out in the last 6 months that some people wanted to know who you were so they could either ignore you or steal your stuff. She took another drink of the water and set it down still watching her and sighed
" I'm Anya and no I'm not a newsie and yes I am just living here. " She had seen a couple of the newsie's around in the past couple of days and had seriously thought about following one of them to find out where to get the papers but seeing as she wasn't good at the whole entire conversation thing how the heck was she suppose to sell newspapers.
She looked down at the pizza when it was placed in front of her then looked at Jewel and slightly smiled " I cant believe I am about to eat this ". There wasn't an exact fresh amount of Pizza in Russia. You spent most of your time in th bread line
" So where are you from? " She had not seen the girl around so she figured she lived somewhere other than Queen's.

Jewel shook the girl's hand. The girl looked a bit out of place, but it wouldn't be the first time Jewel had seen that.
"It's nice to meet you, Anya. Wow, so you're not a newsie? It's hard to tell one person from the next now-a-days. But anyway, it's great to see a new face." Jewel said to her with a smile.
Jewel watched as the pizza got placed in front of Anya. She looked down at it, and then smiled back at Anya when she smiled.
"Don't worry...The pizza looks pretty good here. You'll love it." She told Anya.
Jewel went wide-eyed at Anya when she asked Jewel where she was from "Where am I from? Oh, I was born in Brooklyn, but I work as a newsie in the Bronx." She explained to Anya.
"So, ya know? I'm sure you're gonna love it here in Queens. I've only been here a couple of times, and it was a great escaping place from Brooklyn." Jewel explained.

Anya stared at the pizza as Jewel talked and sighed finally taking a bite and shook her head " No this is not good " She pushed the plate away from her and sighed. She hated wasting money but she couldn't bring herself to eat it.
" The apple I had a few hours ago was better than this " maybe it was something she as going to have to get use to but for now she couldn't do it "
She took a drink of the water and watched Jewel and raised an eyebrow when she said that Queens was a good break from Brooklyn " I would think Brooklyn and Queens would be about the same? " Of course since she had gotten here she hadn't really taken the chance to visit the other boroughs.

Jewel frowned when Anya said that the pizza was not good.
"Oh wow, I'm sorry you don't think it's good. It looked pretty good to me. But I think I'll take your word for it." she said.
Jewel smiled. She loved Apples. She remembered the one she shared with Luke on the Bridge, and it was fantastic. "I like Apples, they're so good." she said.
"Brooklyn and Queens are kind of similar, but the people in Queens aren't very bad. Brooklyn people are worse...especially the girls. Some of the,m are just plain awful, but most of them aren't bad." She explained.
Jewel then looked at Anya's face, and smiled "Anya, do you have a guy or something? You don't look like the type to be single." she asked her.

Anya raised an eyebrow when Jewel said that some of the girls in Brooklyn here plain awful and gulped " I guess its a good think I settled here. " She didn't deal very well with girls that weren't very nice. She liked Queens so far. People pretty much left her alone. The only person that had a issue with her was the fruit vendor she had nabbed the apple for earlier
She actually laughed when Jewel asked her if she had a guy and shook her head " Guys don pay attention to me. " part of that might be due to the fact that he didn't talk to alot of people. Even though she had been around some of the guys while they were selling, they still hadn't payed attention to her.

Jewel nodded "It is a very good thing you settled here is right, sweetie. Queens in a pretty nice area." she said.
Jewel laughed along with Anya when she said guys don't pay attention to her. The idea of someone so pretty not getting attention from guys was insane.
"Oh my lord, How can any guy not pay attention to you? You're beautiful. I fully think that some of the guys you've been with are blind as hell. I hope you don't think I'm strange for saying that you're very pretty." she told Anya with a smile.

Anya shook her head and laughed when Jewel said she was beautiful. " No I don't think its weird I just haven't heard it much. " Back in Russia you were never told you were beautiful. You just didn't say it. She finished off the water she was drinking and smirked at the waiter when he brought her another feeling a lot better about talking to Jewel
" I wouldn't say the guys were blind, Would you wanna talk to a girl that wont even look at you? " She smirked a little and slouched down in her chair " Its not like I just walk up to them and say Hi how are you. " She was to afraid to do that.
She eyed the pizza that was still sitting across from her and sighed. She grabbed the plate and took a piece and popped it into her mouth and swallowed. " I guess its not that bad its just something I'm not use to "
She looked over at Jewel and smirk " you have a boyfriend? "

Jewel smiled at Anya when she laughed at what she said.
"I'm glad you don't think it's weird. I don't often compliment girls on their looks, cause I don't want them to get the wrong idea." She explained.
Jewel smiled "I always had this reputation around here for being kind of a flirt. But I normally, don't just go up to guys much, but if they talk to me...I don't ignore them." she sighed.
Jewel then smiled "Yeah, I kind of have a boyfriend. His name is Jacob, he lives in Philadelphia, he's the leader of the newsies there. He's really cute. I wrote him a letter, asking him to come and visit me, I even told him where I was. I hope to God he gets here soon. I haven't seen him in about a year." she explained, her eyes taking on a sad expression.
