Truly Madly Deeply

''Are you ready'' I asked, shaking. I was so nervous. 

''If I'm ready?  The right question is: Is London ready for us?'' Kourtney said, smirking. 

Kourtney, or Kourt (how close friends call her), isn't afraid of anything or anybody. She always stands up for herself, not letting others help her or do anything for her. She's really headstrong. Plus, according to her, she's always right. It's actually funny when somebody proves her wrong.

She also prefers being with boys, doing boys' stuff, than with girls, but I guess when we met, she liked me. Kourt is not girly, at all. She hates skirts, dresses, make up, pink stuff, etc. Basically, she hates everything a common girl likes. But she's cool.

I peeked through the plane's window. It was only two hours and a half left for the landing in Heathrow's Airport. Then, we would go with our 'adoptive families' to London downtown. We were going to live a new life, an English life.

''What should we do right now? You know I'm not really good at this things, you are. What do we do?'' Kourtney asked me, very confused, almost like a child who just lost her mother.

''Now, we're going to get our bags and meet our new families. Come with me.'' I answered, knowing she would might faint because she had never been abroad of Portugal before.

We left the plane and went to get our baggage. After waiting some time, we finally found our new families, accompanied by one girl each one. I assumed they were their daughters, and I was right. They introduced themselves, adding which one of us they would be taking care of. I'm going to spend this school year with Phillipp and Margaret Coleman, and their daughter, Lisa. Kourtney will be spending this school year with Victoria and Gary Johnson, and Susan. 

I like Lisa. She seems very nice and smart. She's tall and thin, with curly light brown hair and really red cheeks. I also learnt that she has got two little twin sisters, who she calls 'little monkeys' because they are always pranking other people and they are never quiet. I actually think I'm going to enjoy this year very much.

Me and Kourtney said goodbye to each other, we were now going to different houses with different families, to start a completely new life.
