Chapter 2: Hello New Orleans

"The plane ride to New Orleans was very miserable," Aaron thought to himself. "That darn kid behind me kicking my chair, the guy in front who kept leaning back, so I had no space, and I had to sit between a couple who was fighting over shampoo and laundry detergent." Aaron thought so hard that he was sure that the woman next to him could her him.

After about two hours of waiting in line to leave the airport, Aaron went to his new home. As Aaron drove his rental car he had gotten the week before He looked around at his first glimpse at America. New Orleans was different from his foreign home in England. There were people dressed up every where, glitter flying through the air, masquerade masks everywhere. "What is going on," Aaron thought.

"Hey, sis, what is going on," asked Aaron to his sister in the backseat.

"Mardi Gras, genius," said Amber, "That holiday that's celebrated in France, here, and Belgium, how could mother send you to boarding school when you don't even know on of the biggest holidays celebrated here?"

"Oh right, I forgot," Aaron said.

"Hey, what did you stop in London that made us drive an extra two hours of driving," Amber asked, demanding an answer.

"What do you mean, early?" Amber snapped.

"The school semester doesn't start for a month or so," the lady said.

"UHHHHHHHHGGGGG," Amber groaned.

"Remember how dad went to Hong Kong to start a division for his company and mom went with him," Amber said.

"Oh yeah."

"Is anyone else here?" Asked Aaron, trying to be more polite than Amber.

"Well, let me see, yes, there is a girl named Jade Hert, on room 254," said the woman, "besides her, you're the only ones here."

"Okay, thanks"

They took the elevator to their rooms. Aaron went to his room and started unpacking. Amber went to her room, got on the bed, and started texting. Aaron than found the present his father had left him before he left. He started to unwrapped, and Aaron couldn't believe his eyes, it was a...
