I'm so exited I'm going to England for the school year! though it is going to be hard for me seeing as I've been home schooled all my life. Now I'm going to a place I've never been to and going to a school ...wow this school years probably going to be super hard.

I wondered what my foreign exchange parents/ parent will be like? I sigh at my own thoughts as I finished packing so we can leave for the airport. I looked in the mirror to check what color my eyes are today, because they casually change between blue, grey, and occasionally green. Today my eyes are grey.

I smile as I grab my brush out of my bag and brush out my long, dark brown hair. As I finish I  throw my hairbrush back in my suitcase.

"We're going to be late!"  Dad called from downstairs.

"I'm coming!" I reply back

  I put the last of my bags in the kitchen which my dad and older brother helped me carry out. Once our twelve passenger van was loaded up with the bags, my mom, dad, and five out of six siblings, and I piled into the van.

  The last of my siblings was kinda there, because she's on the phone with mom. The ride was pretty uneventful, but I did get to say good-bye over the phone to my second older sister and her two kids though.

 I was practically freaking out by the time we got there. After all, I am going to be riding by myself and I've never been on an airplane before. Wow! so many firsts on this trip.

"It'll be okay your trip is only a third of what mine was." My older sister reassured me when she told me about her trip to Japan last year on a mission trip. I hugged everyone goodbye and walked onto the plane.

 As I sat in my seat trying to control my nervous shaking, a teenage boy walked on the plain and sat in the seat next to me. Apparently he notices my nervousness. 

"First time flying huh?"

"Y-Yeah" I say back between the chattering of my teeth. Just as he was about to say something back to me the flight attendant came out and started the preflight lecture. In the end the lecture just made me even more nervous.

"Whoah, just calm down...uh, where are your parents?" The blonde haired guy comments, I look at him.

"There not here with me, I'm going to be a foreign exchange student for studying abroad. What about you?" I replied back to him, he doesn't have anyone with him either...

"Well....I kinda ran away, you see my dads has lots of money. So I bought a ticket and paid for a hotel..." he answered hesitantly, I wonder why he's just telling me everything...

"Oh, how old are you? You seem like you're seventeen." I ask curiously, he smiles at me.

"I'm sixteen, how about you? I can't decide if your thirteen or seventeen." He seems pretty curious, I chuckle.

"Surprisingly enough I get that a lot, but I'm 16" I say back as the plane started to take off, I grip the armrest tightly. Then I look out the window, the view was breath taking. I grin at the sight of everything, we're so high up!

I look over at my blue eyes in my reflection after the breath taking vew of below, to see him staring at me with an amused expression. 

"Hey your eyes changed color, they were grey a second ago. Now their blue, that's awesome." He comments cheerfully, I turn my head to look at him.

"Yeah, they do that. If you don't mind me asking...what's your name?" I ask, he smiles.

"My name's August, what's yours?" August replies, I smile and blush a little.

"May." I answer, we ended up having meaningless conversations until I fell asleep.

- ~ * ~ -  

I open my eyes suddenly, I look up to see August looking down on me.

"Ah, you're awake." He states, I rub my sleepy eyes. He smiles.

"How long was I asleep?" I ask, he looks at me.

"About....ten minutes." August replies, I nod in understanding. 

"I see, did anything happen while I was sleeping?"

"No, nothing. A few guys did ask to sit here though." He chuckles, I blush profoundly. He starts laughing at me.

"Its normal, you're a pretty girl." He states, I blush even more. I turn my head to look out the window to hide my blush.

"This is going to be a long flight." I mumble.

"Hey don't get bored, tell me more about yourself." He says, sounding interested but before I can open my mouth the flight attendant asks if we wanted anything to eat. Before I can deny any food August goes ahead and asks for something.

"Two ice cream cones please, don't worry May I'm buying. Now tell me more about you." He asks hastily, as the flight attendant walks away I hear her mumble the words "Young love." I look back at August to see him barely blushing.

"I don't know if i should tell a stranger about myself." I answer grinning, right as the flight attendant gave us our ice cream then she hurriedly walks away.

"But you'll take ice cream from one?" He asks in a sarcastic tone.

"Yup." I say back while popping the 'P' and taking a big bite of ice cream. I decided to get out my kindle fire and read some books on wattpad. (A/N Ironic that I'm writing on it!)

"Watcha doing on there?" He asks leaning over.

"Just reading on wattpad." I reply blankly.

"Ooh I have that app!" He exclaims brightly, pulling out the newest IPhone from his pocket. He opens up his app and... we traded user names.

"Wanna watch a movie?' I ask, he looks at me.

"Are you gonna fall asleep on me again?" August asks back, I laugh.

"Probably." I answer. "That's what I usually do during movies." We both agreed to watch Iron Man 3 since I haven't seen it. I finally finish my ice cream and glance at August just to see he was looking at me. I shrug mentally and continue watching the movie.
