Blue Eyes (Asa Butterfield)

Chapter 3

I hug my parents excited to board the plane. Aubrey and Adrian couldn't come because I'm leaving Friday and right now they're in class. School for them is ending soon and I don't know why they couldn't miss just one more day.

"Now behave because I don't want to hear from an angry British lady." My mom said hugging me and crying all at the same time.

My dad hugs he and says, "No boys without telling me."

I hug them and go through the gates ready for a long plane ride that's going to take forever. That's going to give me time to let my dreams sink in to know that it's a reality.

I sit down and read my book to pace the nice six hour flight to London.

As time goes on, I look out the window wishing I could walk on clouds. I take out my Nikon camera and take a million pictures of the white, fluffy clouds.

Without knowing the lady sitting next to me says, "Magical is it." She's tall with long brown hair and bright green eyes.

"It sure is." I said pretending I had the entire sky to myself.

She looks like a mom because she asks, "Why are you traveling by yourself?"

I smile ready to explain, "I'm attending MCAA in London." MCAA stands for Music and Creative Arts Academy.

She looks shocked and said, "Why I'm so glad you'll be attending and I'm Amelia Jameson MCAA's head drama director. You are...?"

I'm in total starstruck and say, "Jessica Arnold, and I'm a huge fan!" I said showing her from my backpack all my brochures and all my studies over MCAA. I must be a total geek to her because the past two summers I've been studying all about the school.

When the flight was over Ms. Jameson offered to drive me and of course I said yes because I don't like taxis. I don't know why? Maybe because it was that easy for them to kidnap me.

When we get to campus Ms. Jameson got me settled in right in the office and showed me my new room.

In the room was a girl typing on the computer. She turns around and I see her lime green hair, pixie hair cut.

"Ah you must be Jess! I'm Iris. Nice to meet you." She's cool and is an awesome roommate to have. Plus the accent she's awesome.

The room was huge! Big enough to have two extra twins, two desk, one giant closet.

Iris helps me get settled in and we are tired when we got everything out.

Iris gets up and asks, "So want to go and explore?!"

I get up and say, "Sure! You're super nice to me." Wow, this whole new school ahs made me not be so shy. I don't really speak what's on my mind.

Iris laughs and says, "I'm just making you feel welcome. I was one of those students who came and knew nothing and I don't want that to happen to you."

We walk around and when we enter the theater it was GIANT and I look at the window ceiling and then next thing I know it I ran into some one and fell to the ground.

"Jess!" Iris said running over.

A guy said helping me up, "I'm so sorry!" He has dark brown hair and bright blue eyes.

Once I was up I said, "No you're fine."

Iris pulls me away from the guy and we carry on to a bulletin board.

Iris gestures to a sign up sheet and says, "If you're a drama freak sign up here and have fun! Though, I'm an art freak."

I take a pen and write my name and we carry on. I enjoy drama a lot but I spend most of my time focusing on music. Iris shows me where all my classes are and help me get used to my schedule.

After the tour I go back to the theater and just sit in a seat and watch some kids do some improv exercises.

The only thing that I saw first thing was the kid I bumped into earlier.

Ms. Jameson saw me and said, "Jess come!" She gestured me to the stage and told me to not be shy and jump in whenever.

At the end I got to meet some really cool friends and without noticing four hours just zoomed by.

I say bye and I rush out.

"Hey!" I hear someone call me back. I turn to see the guy. "I'm Asa by the way."

I smile and say, "Nice to meet you, Asa. Jess."
