MADELINE

I've always been a shy girl since I can remember, my parents even always described me quiet as a kid. Now im wondering why my parents are sending me to a private school in the states. They told me because it's my 'senior year' I should see how the states are like. But I don't really care to see America in all its glory at first I fought my parents about it. But I just didn't care anymore to fight them about it so i'm trying to think of this as a positive thing for me. Who knows maybe I may actually like America..Who am I kidding i probably won't.

When I hear the pilot talk on the speaker saying we're landing I get pulled back into reality and not me just thinking about my thoughts. When the plane has landed I grab my stuff, I double check I have everything. I do perfect! now I can get off the plane. I take the final step and my feet finally touch American Land...yay...! That was sarcasm but i'm trying to think positive since all I think is negatively all the time.

I start walking towards where I can grab the rest of my bags. Blasting Lana Del Rey on my headphones, listen I love Lana if I had one dying wish it would be to meet her. not kidding please marry Lana. I finally have all my bags and since i'm technically not an exchange student I don't have a family to stay with so I have to take an uber to the school plus I live in dorms. I'm really hoping i don't share with anyone will be praying and manifesting on the way over there to not share with someone.

I wish I didn't bring so many bags now because dragging this along with me is a nightmare. My 5'3 self cannot handle Five huge suitcases to drag around. Okay, i'm being dramatic but I can now say the famous quote Americans use this is a free county I can do and say what I want. Yea no doesn't hit like when Americans actually use it. Better luck next time Madeline.

I make it outside the airport and see my uber waiting the man driving the uber helps me put my bags in the trunk. thank you stranger! we load the trunk and I get in the backseat. I buckle myself up and the uber dude starts driving. Let's hope this private school isn't that bad. I look out the window taking in the scenery,  a lot of trees and everywhere it's pretty especially with the snow. Oh right I forgot to mention my parents switched me to this school the winter before second semester started because they wanted to surprise me going to this school. Let me tell you it was not a 'YAY EXCITED SURPRISE' it was more of a 'what the hell surprise'.

I see us pulling up to the school ITS HUGE WOW. It looks like a big castle, maybe I might actually like this school only because it will feel like i'm living in harry potter! I'm a harry potter lover till I die. The uber dude stops the car I get out and open the trunk wow he isn't helping me this time. I take back my thank you I thanked him in my head for earlier. I get all of my bags out and I realize I forgot to tell the Uber driver thank you for driving me. I go to his window on the driver seat and signal for him to roll it down.

"Hello sorry I forgot to tell you thank you." I say in an apologetic tone with a smile.

"Yea sure you're welcome bye." He says in a monotone voice. Then he drives off this is what I get for being nice. Americans I swear

I just walk back towards my bags and grab them and start heading inside. Taking in how big this school is and the scenery it's on a big hill with trees all around. So pretty, I make it towards the front entrance and see a few older people standing there maybe it's the principal? I put on a smile and walk up to them.

"Are you Madeline Mills?" The older man asks me

"Yes I am" I say my British accent coming out softly.

"Okay good follow me" they check the paper they have in their hand "it seems that your parents already signed and did everything. So the principals assistant will escort you around the campus and towards your dorm." The man gives me a quick smile and walks inside the huge castle looking school.
