"Kylie sweetie I can't believe it, my baby is all grown up and going to University in New York!" my mother wraps me in what seems like the hundredth hug in the last three hours.
"Now I want you to call me the second you land at the airport, do you understand?" urgh here we go.
"Yes" I groan. I am actually excited to be away from her till at least December for Christmas but knowing my mother she will probably have flown over to see me before Christmas arrives.
"Now remember NO parties, no getting drunk and especially no boys!" here it is, the lecture I have been waiting for ever since my acceptance letter to New York University came.
"Kylie" my mother interrupts my thoughts.
"Huh?"
"Did you hear me"
"No sorry I was..."
"No time for silly little day dreams"
'Flight 208 for New York, JKF is now boarding' the speakers call out.
"That's your flight Katie, come on garb your bags" she sings as she walks off not even helping me, of course.
...
Finally I got rid of her. Now roll on the seven and a half hour flight to New York.
Seconds after I close my eyes I feel someone sit next to me. I open my eyes to see this boy about my age with blonde hair with brown roots smile at me.
"Sorry did I wake you?" he smiles. He has a thick Irish accent which I take it is Southern Irish.
"Oh no, I wasn't sleeping" I smile.
"I'm Niall" he holds his hand out for me to shake.
"I'm Kylie" I shake his hand. I notice a booklet in his hand which is identical to mine.
"You're going to NYU?" I can't help but ask.
"Yeah, why are you?" he smiles.
"Yes. I can't wait"
"Me too"
"What are you studying?" I ask him as I notice on my phone that I have no signal. We are just flying over Noth Wales, we are approaching the Atlantic Ocean.
"Sport, English Lit and Business. You?" he's only doing three subjects, I went and choose four well I mean my mother made me choose four.
"English Lit, Business, History and Religious Education. You like sport then?"
"Yeah, I hope to become a p.e teacher or something. But I don't know yet"
"A teacher, that's a good career. So why did you choose NYU Niall?"
"Well my parents live close to Oxford University, and I mean close like fifteen minutes and it's a really good University and I'll meet loads of new friends and I love New York. What about you Kylie?"
"My mother is very suffocating and I love New York too"
After talking to Niall for the whole flight it turns out his dorm is just down the hall to mine. I also learnt that he moved to London when he was sixteen because of his parents jobs.

We land at JFK airport after eight and a half hours, because a loud mouth mother said the male air hostess touched her child abnormally which was complete no sense. Another thing reminding me why I'm getting away from my own mother.

I pay the taxi driver and thank him. As I grab all my bags I stare at the very large University, there must be at least two thousand students here? I'm bound to make friends. I wonder what my roommate is like?

Hi guys, Francesca here. Phew the first chapter is over.
I know it's not the best but this is my first proper Wattpad book, and I can honestly say I'm not the most creative person.
Hopefully as this book progresses my writing will improve, so please add this book to your library. I might just surprise you!
Thank you. Ilya♡
Francesca:)
