Postcards from Hollywoods Daughter

chapter 3

'Lady's and gentlemen, i am pleased to announce that this flight will be landing in 20 minutes. please put your seat belts on and remain in your seats, thank you' the air hostess announced on the speaker thingy.

i was surprisingly nervous sitting back in my seat, this was actually the first time i'd been on a plane on my own and i was about to enter a whole new world a million miles

away from home. well not quite a million but you know what i mean, it was a really scary thought.

everyone around me was now rushing back to the seats, little kids were looking out there windows really excited, business men were zipping away there laptops, and the rest of

the plain were fast asleep, it had been quite late when we left, mum and dad dropped me off at the airport, but as usuall the paparazzi were trying to snap pictures of them so we

It made me think of Hogwarts, it was absolutely massive, nothing like any Hollywood building. what shocked me the most was it seemed empty, i couldn't see a single person about.

the driver handed my suitcase, and told me to buzz at the gate (now that is something I'm used to) and ask the receptionist to let me in. i pulled my rather heavy suitcase over to the gate, i may have over packed a little, but i was told it got freezing in England and i needed lots of layers so that's exactly what i did, i only did what i was told. i pressed against the buzzer and a loud posh voice came blaring out of the speaker ' Hello, welcome to Abby-rose hall. How may Help you?' 'Hi, I'm Avery Johnson, I'm meant to be starting here today' 'Oh yes, Avery come on in' she replied, and the gate opened, letting me in...
