The Exchange Student

not yet

Its Sunday morning and its a beautiful day, and if Ive learnt anything about being in London is that beautiful days do not come often.

I get out of bed and have a shower. I decide to wear a flower dress my dad brought me.

I did my make-up and curled my hair.

By the time I was ready it was 11:30. The only problem is thqt I dont know what Im ready for.

The twins are out on a school camp, Sarah has tutoring and their mum is working.

I decide to just sit on the couch and play on my phone. Just laze around.

15 minutes later I get a phone call from Connor.

"Hello?" I say through the phone.

"Hello Miss Collings. I was wondering if you woyld like to join me in a lunchtime meal?" He said trying to sound posh.

"I woulf love too." I said smiling through the phone.

"Well lets go then." He said.

"Ok what time are you picking me up?" I asked.

"Can I tell you a secret?" Connor said changing the subject.

"What?" I asked a little confused.

"I was afraid that you would say no so I thought it would be a goof idea if I parked outside your house to gult trip you." He said.

All I could do is laugh as I walked to the door. I opened it and there was Connor, waiting in his car.

I hung up my phone and quickly grabbed my stuff as I walked out the door.

I jumped in Connor's car and drove off.

"You look very nice." Connor said looking at my dress.

"I try." I smiled.

We soon turned up at the local supermarket.

"I thought we were going out for lunch?" I said as we parked the car.

"Nah, I wanted to show you a side of me youve never seen before. And thats my cooking." He said as he got out of the car.

We walked in and grabbed a basket.

We started walking down the rows of food, grabbing buns, ham, tomatos and a whole lot more.

We soon came down the candy row, my personal favourite. Chocolate, lollies and cookies surrounded us.

I grabbed a bag of chocolate chips and chucked it into the basket.

"Why do we need these?" Connor asked.

"Cause we're gonna bake." I said skipping along.

Once we finished and paid for the food, we headed towards the side of London I hadnt really been on.

We soon stopped at a big white house.

"What are we doing here?" I asked confused.

"I live here." Connor said getting out of the car.

I hopped out and helped carry in some of the bags of food.

Once we got inside I awwed the place.

"Its huge." I said still looking around.

"Yeah my family has a lot of money." Connor added a little embarressed.

I followed him into the kitchen and started putting all the food away.

"So are your parents here?" I asked putting something away in the pantry.

"Nah my dads at work." Connor said.
