I stepped off the plane, buzzing with excitement. I was finally here, finally in London. I could finally, possibly, just so happen to bump into Dan or Phil. Don't get me wrong. They aren't the main reason I came to London. A few friends and I have decided to come to London to study at Uni. We are all originally from America.
I followed, well, more of led my friends toward the airport doors, eager to get to our new apartment.
Ariel stopped and looked around. "Wait, where's Erin?"
We all stopped and turned around "Erin!" I yell out seeing her still standing by the plane. She quickly turns around and looks at us, running to catch up. Obviously she was just as eager as I was. We all entered the airport with giant smiles glued to our faces.
"So guys, what should we do first? I think we should just wander for a bit, get used to everything." I spoke up, as no one else was. "We can map out what we want to do after we go to our new apartment, or should I say 'flat'?" Ariel saying flat made us all giggle, we giggled as we made our way through the airport to the baggage claim and getting our luggage.
"Hey guys! I think we should go to a duck pond and feed the ducks!" Becca exclaims while pulling her sweater on. Of course she would want to do that, that just seems so Becca-esque.
"I am thinking of going to a Zoo actually. I heard they have this really cool zoo here in London, it's like the world's oldest scientific zoo, or something." Erin said, looking away.
Well, she was obviously not going for that fact, but that doesn't matter, she is going for cute animals, and hot guys, actually, that sounds kind of fun. Maybe I'd join her.
Ariel hailed a cab and we all piled in with little room between us. She gave him our new address and turned to us with a slight smirk on her face. "I really think we should go visit an arcade, those are lots of fun!"
Yeah, that would be fun, too. I guess I'll have to decide whether or not I want hot guys, or video games. Although going on their subway would be fun, I have never been on one, and there might be some hot guys on one of those! Don't they call it something else though? Oh, yeah! The tube.
"I kind of want to go on the tube." I said, projecting my thoughts, but holding out the 'u' in tube, causing us all to give into fits of laughter. The driver shot us a confused look, but shook it off, probably thinking we were crazy.
As always, once we all started to laugh, it didn't stop, we just laughed and laughed, until Erin had started tearing up, her pale face turning bright red. Her chin started to quiver and tears were pouring down her cheeks, we continued to laugh even as we all pulled ourselves out of the cab, and got our luggage from the back. We laughed all the way to the doors, but decided to try to take a moment to calm ourselves before entering our new building.
Once we had done just that we entered the building, as were greeted by the homiest lobby I have ever saw. We continued through the lobby and to the "lift". I giggled a bit at the thought, but my giggle seemed to go unnoticed by the others.
We got in the lift, and Becca pushed the button to go up to the 34th floor. Once we started up, we all looked at each other, seeing the large amounts of excitement on each other's faces.
Once it stopped and made a little 'ding' to let us know we were on our floor, we waited rather impatiently for he door to open. When it opened we all ran down the hall to our new apartment.
I slowly took my new set of keys, and put them in the key hole, and pushed the door open. We all stood in the hallway staring. It was perfect, we just needed to make minor arrangements to make it 'ours'.
