    I was doing the last of my excruciatingly painful algebra 2 homework when my phone rang. I go and answer it, grateful for the distraction. The familiar ringtone of Gasoline by Hasley has me swinging my hips a bit. I pick up and phone, sad to hear the song stop. I answer and seeing the unfamiliar number answer formally.
"Hello, is this is Ry Woods, how may i help you?"
    The strange voice answers;
"Hi, Im Jessica from the Rotary Club, and Im here to inform you that you have been chosen to participate in the foreign exchange program. This is a very exclusive program and you were chosen out of the 430 students from your school. A car will be there to pick you up in 2 days time. Where would you like to go study for a year?"
    I stand there in shock, taking in all this information. I was chosen? Out of all those people? They chose me? Realizing i had been quiet for some time I quickly reply London, having thought about it previously. I am a big fan of these 2 youtubers that live there named Dan and Phil. They make me happy, and that doesn't happen much anymore. Jessica swiftly says goodbye and continues her work at the Rotary im sure. I sit on the bed, still processing this information. All of a sudden, i scream of happiness and start crying. My mom rushes in and says:
"Hun, are you ok?"
"Im the best i have been in a long time" i reply. She knows about me feeling like an outcast at school, but she doesn't know about the bruises i hide with concealer every morning. i notice her starting strangely and i say:
"I just got a call from the Rotary Club. I won the foreign exchange!"
"Congrats!" she replies. She knows she cant stop me from doing anything at this point. I have chronic depression and anxiety but i don't take my pills, and when i get upset i have cut in the past.
"You better get packing. When did you say they were coming?" She asks.
"In 2 days." I reply. "SHIT! I have only 2 days to pack!" I think out loud.
"Language!" She replies."You better get packing then. I will lend you the car then and you can go shopping if you want."
"Thanks mom" I say. "I have to call Sam!" I say. I grab my laptop and Skype Pam, Marissa, and Aubrey. They all answer like i knew they would, they just got home from work like me. I see Fox with Marissa as well. He is her boyfriend. He's nice, we are just not very close. I tell them the news and yell,
"Get in the car bitch, we're going shopping!"
