Summary:

At eleven years old Ilya Rozanov's class is given an assignment:

They will be randomly paired with a student at another school in Canada via email. In order to get full credit on the assignment, they must send at least five emails back and forth and gather enough information to write their project.

After seven years, Ilya is pretty sure he's done enough for 100%

or

Shane and Ilya sending emails throughout the years. What happens when they meet?

Notes:

this is my first coded work and im just playing around
don't turn off creators style!

edit: since this fic has gotten popular I feel like I should say that it is NOT very compatible with Kindle!!! or downloading in general!!! the coding won't show up how it's supposed to and i saw some people complaining about that :)) sorry!

Hi Ilya! It's nice to meet you!

My name is Shane. I'm from Canada. Ottawa, specifically.
I like to play hockey! And a fun fact about me is that I'm allergic to oranges.
Our teacher told us about this assignment too! We aren't expected to learn Russian, but we are supposed to learn a bit more about you and your country. So I have some questions too!

What part of Russia are you from?
Do you have any siblings?
What's your favorite food?

Sincerely,

- Shane Hollander

Oh, sorry

Not the color. The fruit. Citrus? Lemons also give me hives sometimes. And limes.
What is borscht?

And what's your favorite thing about Moscow?
