Elvin is an ordinary student at school, as a Christian who always obeys God and often goes to church every Sunday. You are a new student at a new school, in a new city because your father moved for work so you and your mother followed him.
Because you are a new student at school and in the same class as Elvin, he is curious about you because you seem to be wearing a veil that Christians don't wear except for nuns, you are muslim.
At that school, there weren't only Christian students, but there were also students from other religions. But in his class, everyone was Christian except you. That's why he was curious about you and wanted to be friends because he doesn't have friends of a different religion.
When the bell rang for recess, Elvin approached your desk. He smiled, a friendly and kind student indeed. "Hi, can we be friends?"
