I'm publishing this at like seven in the morning on the first day of the summer holidays. I don't know what's wrong with me!
Well... I guess I was excited that people actually read my story!!!!
I did not expect this at all!!
I don't think that they even got past the first part and I don't have any comments soooo...
Let's get onto the story!!!!
[Monday, at six o'clock the morning in Chris's house.]
Amanda: (Shouting up the stairs) Come on Chris, you can't be late.
Chris: (Shouting) I'll be down in a bit.
[Checking if she has everything and running around her room grabbing things from her draws and stuffing them into her bag. She looks in one of her draws and sees a small photo. She picks it up then puts it in her pocket. She runs down the stairs with two bags slung around her shoulders and a suitcase.]
Amanda: Ok, are you ready?
Chris: (Nods) Yep.
Amanda: Have you got everything?
Chris: Ugh Mama! It's fine. I'm ready.
Amanda: Have fun. I love you!
[Her mum kisses her on the forehead and she runs out the house and gets onto a bus]
Chris: (Shouting) Bye Mama! I love you!
Amanda: I love you too! Be safe!
[The bus goes to the train station and she gets on a train. She is on the train for about an hour. She gets off at an airport and goes through the airport security. She then runs to a gate and bumps into an airline assistant.]
Chris: (Bumps into him) Oh my god! I'm so sorry.
Assistant: It's fine it happens. Where are you going?
Chris: Barcelona in Spain.
Assistant: Then there is no need to run. The flight had been delayed by half an hour. You should be able to catch it with plenty of time.
Chris: (Sighs in relief.) Thank god! Thank you so much.
Assistant: It's my job miss.
[She walks to the gate and hands in her ticket. She gets on the plane and takes her seat by a window. After she listens to the air flight safety check then takes out her air pods and starts listening to music. The flight takes two and a half hours.]
[She gets off at Barcelona and starts looking for the family that she had met over the phone. A Spanish lady calls out to her]
Sofia: (Shouting) Chris! Is that you?
Chris: (Sees them and walks over.) Hola! Sofia?
Sofia: That's me! It's nice to meet you in real life.
Chris: I feel the same. Thank you for letting me stay with you.
Sofia: No need to thank me. You're our guest. And the girls are looking forward to meeting you.
Chris: I'm looking forward to meeting them.
[They walk out of the airport and get a taxi. They through a busy street and go down a road to a large house named 'House Torres']
Chris: You have a lovely home.
Sofia: Thank you. It had been in our family for about one hundred and fifty years.
Chris: Wow! It looks very modern.
Sofia: We renovated it a bit so it didn't look so medieval.
Chris: (Laughing) Well, you did a good job.
Sofia: Thank you.
[They walked in and were greeted by two dogs barking and jumping up at them.]
Chris: Oh! Hola! (Laughing)
Sofia: Ay! Abajo! Lejos! So sorry.
Chris: It's fine.
Mari: Madre?
Angel: Hola!
Sofia: Hola muchachas!
[They start speaking in very fast Spanish.]
Sofia: Muchachas, this is Chris.
Chris: Holà! Encantado de conocerte.
Mari: It's nice to meet you too.
Angel: Would you like to see your room?
Pablo: Let her get in the house girls. (Smiles) Hello. I'm Pablo, this is Mari and this is Angel
Chris: It's very nice to meet all of you. And I would love to see my room. Gracias.
[They lead her down a hallway and they enter a large room.]
Sofia: I'm afraid that not all the furniture had come yet but it is almost set up.
Chris: That's absolutely fine. It's lovely.
[They help her unpack her things and are talking the whole time]
Mari: So do people from Britain really love tea?
Chris: (Laughing) I like tea but not all British people do. My mother doesn't.
Angel: I've heard that phrase 'As changeable as the English weather' Is it true?
Chris: Definitely. There was one time where it was snowing in the morning, then sunny in the afternoon.
Sofia: Really?
Chris: Yeah. It was on April Fool's day as well. We all said that it was the weather playing a
prank on us.
Pablo: (Chuckling) That is funny and very strange.
[They finished unpacking and then had dinner.]
Sofia: Pablo is an amazing cook. It's one of the reasons I married him. So I could at least get a good meal every night.
Chris: (Laughs)
Mari: Do you have a boyfriend then?
Chris: No but I do have a crush on this person in my class.
Sofia: Is it a boy or a girl?
Chris: It's a girl.
Sofia: Are you Lesbian then?
Chris: I'm Bisexual
Sofia: I see.
Angel: There aren't many Homosexual people in our school.
Pablo: (Walks in) Dinner is served.
Sofia: Gracias mi amor.
Mari and Angel: Gracias Papa!
Chris: Gracias Senor Torres.
Pablo: You're very welcome
[They start eating and once they finish, they get ready for bed. Chris gets into bed early because she had a long day and is exhausted]
Authors note:
