I felt someone poking me and I woke up to realize it was Ellie.
Ellie's my best friend, we've known each other basically since birth.
"Time to get up! The plane is landing soon!" She said.
I looked around and realized that I slept through most of the flight. I got my mini mirror out of my purse and checked myself. My hair was in a messy bun and my make up was a mess so I reapplied a little.
"I can't believe we're almost here!" She said.
"I know right! Gosh! It's like we have been dreaming about this for years." I said while looking out the window.
But really, Ellie and I have been dreaming about this for years... since 7th grade to be exact. And finally high school graduation came with a major surprise of our parents finding a way for us to study abroad in London starting in December!
I looked down and saw the wonderful city of London. I smiled to myself and just had a feeling that this will be a really great 4 months with my best friend.
"Hello. Thank you for flying with us. The plane is beginning it's descend so please fasten your seat belts. Thank you." The flight attendant said.
I put my seat belt on and began to feel the plane lowering.
"I hope we meet cute British boys!" Ellie says.
"Oh my god I hope so!"
She laughs and we continue waiting for the plane to land.
Finally after a few more minutes we arrived. We got our carry on's and headed off the plane and waited for our luggage.
After about a half an hour we finally got all of it. I had tons of stuff since we were going to be there for a while.
"Call your mom!" Ellie says while she was dialing her mom's number as well.
I dialed my moms number and she immediately answers.
"Brooke! How are you? How was your flight? Are you ok?" She asks worried.
That's my mom for you, always worrying.
"Yeah mom I'm fine. The plane was not that bad actually."
"Well good to hear. What are you going to do now?"
"We're going to head over to our apartment and get situated. Its about three in the morning."
"Oh! I am so sorry dear! I will let you go rest. Now remember you're there for school and studies, not boys!" She warned.
"Yeah yeah!" I say with a roll of my eye.
"Just making sure."
"Ok well bye! Love you." I said.
"Bye! Love you too! Call me when you get up! I don't care what time it is! Brush your teeth and hair! Make sure you shower and change your-"
I hung up on her. No need to hear what she was about to say!
"Ready?" Ellie says.
"Definitely." I say with a smile.
We got into a cab and headed to the apartment. When we got there I looked around, and it was actually nice. There were stairs and two rooms, each with their own bathroom. It had a kitchen and a nice little living room.
I set my stuff down in my room. I took the room on the right while Ellie took the room on the left.
"Look we have a washer and dryer for our clothes! We don't have to go to the laundry mat!" She said right by my door.
