Potatoes and Ponies (JeanSasha)

New Home

Jean's POV

It had been three weeks since I had gotten my confirmed application to go into an American school. I was a few hours from boarding my plane from Italy all the way to Maryland, United States of America. I was over the moon! I was already fluent in English with a very slight accent and of course, fluent in Italian. I was an excellent cook so, I figured I could make it. I was placed in the Springer's family home. I was really excited.

I said my farewells to my mom and dad and got on my plane. It was a really long flight so I got a ton of stuff to read, my sketchpad, art supplies, and activity books. But first, I was going to nap. I had gotten up at 4 to catch my flight, so I was exhausted. I fell asleep about 30 minutes after we had taken flight. Luckily, I had one of the Springer's phone numbers, Connie. Before we had left I had texted him, so I wasn't worried.

Finally! The plane had landed and I had gotten off. My sandy blond hair was all tousled and messy. My bright eyes looked kind of red, due to jetlag and it was a lot nicer in Italy. But I would adjust. Hopefully.

I got My luggage and went to find a taxi or even a bus. I eventually found a taxi and gave the driver the address I needed. At the end the fare was only $25. I got out and knocked on the door. The house was fairly big. It sounded like there was a party going on.

The door was opened by an average sized kid. He was bald and looked younger than he probably was. After we introduced ourselves I was happily greeted by one of the prettiest women I had ever seen. She was about my height and looked happy as could be. Her voice was kiddish and sounded careless. Despite her height she was petite. I wanted to scoop her up and carry her around, but it was too early for that. I shook her hand and was introduced to everyone else. The girl who had been pretty impressive was named Sasha. She was a very kind and smart girl and I really wanted to get to know her. Luckily we were in the same grade. I was really excited, maybe this year could be even better than me or anyone else I knew would have imagined, I hope.
