Fernando and his dad flying first 9 hours to America. Luckily they sit not together so that can Fernando stay alone and Alberto not annoying him. Meanwhile the flight comes the feeling from the uncomfortableness. He is more away from home, away from his mum and his friends. The only thing what he bring from home are his papers, pencil and his guitar.
After 9 hours they are in America, more precisely in Mc Allen. Fernando is walking out from the plane and sees the palms on the side. But it's really hot and the sun is shining directly in his face. That's why makes Fernando his hand in front of his forehead. Furthermore claps Alberto with his hand on his shoulder

"Come...a friend from me pick up us."

Then he walks forward and Fernando looks behind him. Then he walks behind him and takes then their suitcases. After that pick up the friend from Alberto both and Fernando leans his head against the window meanwhile the drive. They drive 11 hours and the more they driving is for Fernando the place more strange and the uncertainty grows. Because of they fly so long, Fernando sleeps the full drive but til Alberto shakes his shoulder

"Hey...Fernando...wake up."

Fernando opens his eyes and rubs them asks sleepy:

"What's going on?"

Alberto answers:

"We are here...come..."

Then he go out and Fernando needs for a while til he stands up and looks up to the hotel. The hotel is consists of sandstone with inspects with big windows. In the middle is name and next to it the stars. Its a four stars hotel, so a comfortable hotel. But then he looks around and he already feels not good here even though he is there since few seconds. His stomach feelings says the same. Further he walks with his dad in the hotel and they get private rooms. Alberto says to him before he go away:

"In few minutes we already work there...and then you can relaxed. I think 5 hours. In the suitcase is your work outfit. See you."

Then he close the door. Fernando looks for few seconds to the door and then to the floor. When he could he would fly back to home and he get already the homesickness. But nevertheless he opens the suitcase and wears the work outfit. Then he go to work.
5 hours later falls Fernando tired and exhausted on the bed and he could just crying now because of the strictness from his dad. His feets hurts and he has a little headache. But he has to still a thing doing. Call his mum. Next to the bed stands a telephone and he takes the listener. Then he round the number. After few sounds comes a voice

"Hello?"

Fernando smiles short because he hears the voice from his mum

"Hey...mum...here is Fernando...I...just wanted to tell you that I'm already here in the hotel."

Almonda smiles and is glad to hear that he is there

"Ohh Fernando honey...I'm so glad that you are there now."

She lies her hand over her mouth and a few tears are in her eyes because she already missed him

"How are you? Is everything okay?"

Fernando looks a bit to the wall and sighs but so that Almonda don't hear that

"Yeah...is everything okay...its hot here..but..yeah its okay..."

Almonda nods even though he can't see that

"Good..I'm glad you are fine. Sleep well honey, its late I think."

Fernandos mouth is trembling because he tries to not to cry and answers then:

"You too...til tomorrow..I call you back."

Almonda smiles

"Sure...of course...til tomorrow! Bye."

Fernando answers:

"Bye..."

Then he hang up and lies the telephone away and suddenly he breaks out in tears. He don't know why. Is it maybe because of his dad? Is he afraid? He don't know that and that's why he try to calm down. But later he go sleep and he excepted nothing about the next day...
