I couldn't believe this was happening. I went upstairs to call Carlos. "Hey Ben!" "Hi..." I answered back in a droopy voice. "Dude you don't sound okay. Are you okay" He said concerned. "No, I'm not my mom and dad are making me go to Korea in two weeks to be an international student for an year." "Oh no, that's really bad" "I know." "I have to go now, talk tomorrow" "ok bye" I said but he had already hung up.
I went to school the next day and told Mr. Zebat about how I was going to Korea. "Well you will be very missed. This will be a great opportunity to learn about a different country." He said exited. He told the class about how I was leaving. I covered my ears. I just couldn't listen to it.
The two weeks came faster than ever. It was the day before I left. I said my final goodbyes to my classmates. Man, I'm going to miss them. I slept early that night and woke up at 6 am my plane leaves and 9am. We got the airport got my bags and my mom and dad gave me some money. "We'll miss you, Benjamin. We really will." Said my dad. My mom was teary eyed. "Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. I'll study hard too. " I said determined. I felt bad because I complained a lot that I didn't want to go, but I realized they wanted the best for me. We hugged for the last time.
My plane finally took off. 'It's really happening' I thought. I slept for most of the time, I also watched movies, and ate really good food. The plane arrived in Korea. I found my bags, and rode the bus to my new apartment. I got off the bus and got the keys to my apartment. I opened the door. It was a really nice apartment. I had a big bedroom, a kitchen, a study room, and one bathroom. I was so tired I set an alarm and fell asleep. Tomorrow, I would be going to my new school.
