y/n's POV
*little time skip*

2:39 AM - London, Heathrow airport

I finally arrive in London and now have to wait for my connection flight to Atlanta. I am not tired. I'm never tired at airports and I don't why. I'm flying all alone for the first time today. I thought it would be much scarier but it's actually pretty chill. I look at my flight ticket, take a
picture of it because I somehow always  lose it but always end up managing to find it. I don't want online tickets because I'm scared that my battery will run out or something else. Anyway I AM ON MY FUCKING WAY TO ATLANTA. FOR A YEAR. I'm scared as hell. I always overthink but this time I really am scared. I have so many worries. I am actually scared to go. This whole time I was chill about it but now that I'm actually on my way is scaring the living shit out of me. Okay I can't return now so let's just find this stupid gate. Gate C129. I have to take a tube through the airport huhhh?? Heathrow is really confusing but cool at the same time. The family in front of me is talking about Atlanta so let's just follow them girlie.

The worker just informed the passengers that the flight will be delayed by another hour but we get gift cards as an excuse which is really cool since it's really expensive to buy food at airports. The man gave me a £10 gift card for any food shop,restaurant or bakery so I thank him and smile. I walk around until I see a bakery/restaurant-ish shop. I grab water for £3,50 , a slice of pizza for £6 and piece of gum for 50 cents and give it to the cashier. Then I hand her over my gift card and wish her a good day. I think that are well spent £10 even though I'm not hungry at all, but I can't say no if it's free. Also I have an 11 hour flight in front of me so bringing a few  free snacks won't be a bad idea.

After waiting a lot boarding finally starts and wohoo I got an window seat. I hope no one sits next to me so I get more space. But I don't think there will be an empty seat next to me since there were a lot of people at my gate. Hopefully it's not an annoying or stanky person. I just gotta wait a little to find out. Seconds later an about 40 year old man takes a seat on the aisle seat. He seems to mind his own business, which I appreciate. The seat between us is still free but there are still a lot of people trying to find their seats. Then an a boy around my age, little younger than me takes a seat between me and the man. He seems really happy. He greets both of us but the man looks like he doesn't want to talk because he just plugs  his earphones in. But I get the man, sometimes people are really annoying to me even though they didn't do anything.

I greet the boy Boy back with a "hey" and he starts introducing himself.

Henry: hey, I'm henry. I'm fourteen and from London.
A smile starts to form on his face and I return it.

y/n: hey henry, I'm y/n I'm from y/h/c and I'm sixteen, nice to meet you. Are you spending your summer holidays in Atlanta?

Henry: No, actually I will spend the whole year in Atlanta. Okay not quite central Atlanta but in a small city near Atlanta.

Y/n: no wayy I'm also doing an exchange year that's so cool omg

Henry: wait whattt that's crazy hahah. Imagine finding out that we go to the same school

Y/n: that would be so funny, what school will you go to?

Henry: Georgia Ridge High, how about you ?

Y/n: ohh, I'm not going to that school sadly.

Henry: dangg. Did you had a chance to FaceTime your host family?
