"Okay dear, your plane will be to your left you will be in seat B12 and your bag will go above your head in the compartment and your purse will go under your seat. Any questions?" Said the older woman at the check in at the airport. "Nope, I don't think so, thanks." I said "No problem." Said the lady.
Okay now what do I do. I quickly turned as I see a café in the corner of my eye. "Yes, score!" I thought as I walked over to the coffee shop. A nice young lady greeted me as I walked up to the counter, " Hello! What may I get for you today?" She asked. I stumbled to talk as I haven't seen anything on the menu that I have ever heard of. Finally a caramel frappe came into view. "I will take the caramel frappe please." Ok, that will be right up! May I take a name for your order?" She asked. This reminded me of Rose and how we always put her name on the coffee. "Rose!" I answered. "Rose that's a very pretty name!"she said as her eyes lit up. She looked like she has never herd that name before. "Oh thanks, that's my sisters name." "Oh well tell her I said she has a very beautiful name!" She said surprised that I didn't just say my name. "Okay I will" I stuttered out. When they finally called my...well Rose It was time to board the plane. When I sat in my seat there was already someone next to me. She looked like a talker so I quick downloaded a movie so I wouldn't have to talk.
After the plane landed I quick pulled out my phone to find my dorm and unpack.
At the exit there was a guy holding up a sign with my name on it Julie Smith. I was wondering why a guy had a sign with my name on it I don't remember asking for a tour guide.
"Hey, um...who are you?" I asked wondering why he had my name. "Well nice to meet you too Julie, I'm Nate and I will be showing you to your dorm and showing you the sites!" He said. Well that's creepy I thought to myself as he showed me to the cab. "So who sent you to show me around?" I asked in the nicest way possible. "Mr. Athè sent me to show you around he is the art teacher we always show the new bees around!" He explained sounding excited. "Cool, so are you a student to?" I asked. "Yes, I am I have been going to his class for 2 years now!" He said again sounding excited. "Cool" I said again not knowing what to talk about.
After like a good half an hour of long awkward silence we finally came to the dorms. He walked me up to my room and put my bags on the couch. "Let's go see the sights of Paris" he said eagerly wanting to get me out. "Ok let's go!" I said not wanting to keep him. It seemed like he was more excited than I was to see Paris.
