I set my bags down in my new room in London, England. I was an exchange student, excited to start the school year with the Burkes who would be my family until I got home. But with all the recent bombings, I was also worried for what the year would bring.

"Edgar, the bombings are getting closer." Mrs. Burke worried to her husband.
"We'll be fine, Mary. We're barely close to the city, they won't touch us." Mr. Burke tried to reassure her. I took a deep breath, this was going to be a long and frightening year.
