{A/N: Hi guys! So this is the very first story I've put on Wattpad, I hope you like it! Begginers Luck! Enjoy!}

*Melissa's P.O.V.*

"Melissa! Come down!" I heard my mom called me from downstairs. She seems happy today by the sound of her voice, this must be good news. I went down the stairs to see my mom holding a piece of paper out of an envelope.

"It's from that exchange student program you applied for." she said then handed me the paper with a wide smile. I couldn't help but smile also. I've been applying for this program for 2 years and who wouldn't be happy when you received a letter from them right?

I read the precisely written words on the fancy paper; I can't stop smiling while reading the letter.

"Dear Melissa Jane Braunt, Congratulations! You've been accepted as one of the exchange students to come here and study Senior Year for free. You can start studying here by next week. Attached is the flight passport and the application form to enter our school. on the next page is the information about your host family in which you will be staying with in London until you've finished studying. Have a great day!"

My smile got even bigger, if it was even possible. I've been accepted! I can go to London and study there! Mom handed my the passport and the application form.

"One week, mom! I'll go to London in one week!" I said while jumping for joy. She hugged me tightly.

"I'm so happy for you, dear. You deserve it, you worked hard and now you got your reward." she said. "Thanks mom." I said in the hug.

We pulled out of the hug and I went up to my room, still very happy as ever. It's a very big opportunity for me to have this, we can never afford to pay for those fancy school since we not rich, living in one of the most boring place in America, my dad has a very low paid job and my mother is a stay-at-home mom, I have no siblings, so when I go to London, my parents are the only one here. But this program can make me prove that I can be a successful student to my parents.

I read the next page of the letter and said that my host family is in a place called Gloucester. I wish that this is a kind family, I have to stay with them for one year until I get back from London. One Week. I have one week until I can see them. One Week, and I will leave my parents. One Week, one week! I excitedly grabbed my suitcase and packed my clothes.

=One Week Later=

"You do good there, okay dear." Daddy said, hugging me. One week has passed; we are at the airport now. All my things are packed up on my suitcase.

"I will, dad, I promise" I said, almost getting teary eyed. I pulled out of the hug and see that my mom and dad are also getting teary eyed.

"I'm doing this for us, okay?" I said and at that moment a tear escaped from my eye, I chuckled a bit.

"Oh, now don't get emotional!" Dad said and with one final hug from them, the speaker called out the passengers for my flight.

This is it. I grabbed my suit case and said goodbye to them. "Be safe, stay away from danger, okay dear?" Mom gave a final advice, I nodded.

"Bye Lissie"

"Bye"

And after that, I walked away to the airplane area, with one final wave at them. I climbed up to the airplane, wiping up my teary face. Fixing myself up, I went to my seat. I can feel the airplane moving and soon enough, I was riding on a flying airplane to London for the first time.

*Nathan's P.O.V.*

Earphones on. Music playing. Tea in one hand. My phone on the other. Laying on the bed. Life's good. I wonder what 'exciting' will happen today. Mom's been telling us to "Clean Up! There will be a visitor today!" but here I am laying on my comfy bed that I don't want to get up on. Sipping on my tea, scrolling pass my Twitter, the door opened loudly and I almost spilled my hot tea.

"Mom needs you to do something!" Jess- my sister- said.

"Uughh, I don't want tooo." I whined like a big brother would.

"You need to, it involves going out the hou-" I stood up and went out the room, knowing that I have to "go out" the house, which I am always pleased to do it.

I went down the stairs and saw my mum fixing the sofa. "You called, mum?" I asked. "Yes, Nathan, I need you to go to the airport and come fetch our visitor." she said going to the kitchen.

"Okay, who is this visitor, anyway?" I asked following her.

"The exchange student from America, her name is Melissa." she said. "Just go fetch her up, she said that she will here at ten minutes so hurry up."

"How will I know she's her?"

"I haven't seen her yet, she will just be at the entrance door of the airport, now go, Nath, we don't want her to be waiting long."

"Okay." I grabbed my black jacket and went to the airport.

=At the airport=

I got my hoddie on, hands on my black pocket. I wish I hadn't got here, mom said that 'Melissa' is going to be waiting at the entrance door and when I was about to go there, all I can see is a fat woman wearing inappropriate clothes. She's Melissa?! Our visitor is a fat woman? Good Lord....

I walked towards the waiting woman, heads down, when I bumped into somebody, hard. "Oh my God, I'm so sorry!" the girl said. I lifted my head and I saw a girl, blonde hair, blue eyes, wearing a blue beannie that made her look so beautiful. Why can't she be our visitor and not the fat lady?

"No,no, it's my fault, I wasn't looking." I smiled at her. She smiled back. "Can I get your name?" I asked, awkwardly.

"Melissa, you?" she said with a smile, Melissa? Can she be the Melissa I'm looking for? I really hope so.

"Nathan, Nathan Sykes." I smiled and raised my and for a hand shake, which we did. "Can I ask you something?"

"Um, sure."

"Are you..." I tried to remember what 'Melissa' is, "an exchange student from America?"

She looked confused then said. "How'd you know?" She is Melissa! Yes, thank God!

"I'm um...your..." What's it called again? "your...one of your..host family members" She smiled after I said that. We stood there for minutes, awkwardly until I broke the silence.

"So, let's head to my house now." I said, she nodded and I grabbed her suitcase. Thank God she wasn't the fat women.

*Melissa's P.O.V*

When I landed on London ground, my emotions were in between excited and sad. Sad because I am so far away from my family right now, but exited because, I'm in London! When I went out the plane, I can't help but smile and inhale the London-Gloucester breeze.

Walking out, I wondered who my host family would be. It said in the letter that it is the "Sykes" family. Looking forward to seeing them! I quickly fixed my blue beannie and headed to the entrance door, when I bumped into somebody hard.

I looked at the boy wearing a black jacket with his hood on, when he looked up, I saw his green eyes, pink lips, a cute button nose and some moles on the side of his face. He looked attractive. I can't help but smile to him. He said his name was Nathan Sykes. Sykes. Sykes, that name sounded familiar, Sykes, wait, is he? I guess he is!

He said that he was one of my host family members, my smile grew much bigger. I'm going to stay with him and his family! I am so happy! When things got a bit awkward, he asked me if we can go to his house. And I nodded.

First minutes in another country and I'm already feeling so happy! I wonder what else is going to happen to me here.

{A/N: Okay, so I hope you like the first chapter! Don't worry, there will be much, much, muuuch more that will happen to them, so I hope you can still continue to read this until the end. I really appreciate you taking time reading this. Oh, and can you please share this to other people, I would be so happy when it reaches many reads. Thanks guys!
