阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Lily was cleaning windows,and it was what she must do for her family's new Chinese restaurant.Everything had to be absolutely perfect:unique decorations,skillful employees,and delicious traditional food.Then customers would love the place,making the business a success.

Lily's family had just moved here from San Francisco,having bought a small restaurant,which was opened yesterday.She was new in the neighbor and had few friends.The first few days at her new school hadn't been easy,either.She found it hard to talk to people she didn't know and it seemed like the students hadn't even noticed her.She was eager for a friendship,though.

Lily shifted her vision to look outside the restaurant as a girl about her age,with abundant red hair,walked up the street.The girl paused to study the sign announcing their opening and then looked directly at Lily with a friendly smile.Lily smiled back shyly and lifted a hand,accidentally waving with the cleaning cloth.The girl smiled at her amusement and waved back happily.

Lily hesitated,not accustomed to starting friendship,but she felt courageous,so she opened the door.“Hello,” she said,adding the first thing that entered her head,“do you like Chinese food?”

“I don't know,but I like to try new things,” the girl remarked,and then she introduced herself as Gabriela.
