The Foreign Echange ( Mikey Barone fanfic)

Chapter 1

I hope the family likes me. What if they hate me? Why am I even doing this?

I thought all these things as she flew from America to Italy.
Hi. I'm Natalia. I'm 16 years old and I'm going to be a foreign exchange student.
The little that I know about the family that I'm going to be housing with is that the parents have 1 daughter who is 16 like myself, and a son who 17.

I had on a white t shirt with denim short shorts (it is very hot in Italy you know), and a pair of checkered vans. I wore my hair down and had a light amount of makeup on with some hoop earrings.
Once I de-boarded the plane, I headed to the luggage pick-up and went to go meet my new family.
I looked around for a family holding up my last name.
Once I saw the family I took a deep breath and started walking towards them.
"Hi, I'm Natalia." I said awkwardly.
The mother of the family ran up to me and gave me a hug.
"You are so gorgeous!" She said while hugging me.
"Thank you." I said and then brushed my hair behind my ears.
"Hi. I'm Mia." The girl said and then gave me a hug.
This family really likes giving out hugs.
The 17 year old boy said nothing to me and gave me a weird look. Weird.
The car ride to their house was filled with questions about living in America.
"What's the food like?"
"Does everyone speak English?"
"Have you ever met Kim Kardashian?" Mia asked.
"Calm down Mia. Give the girl a chance to breath." The mom said laughingly.
"I can't tell you're going to be very popular at school." Mia said.
"What makes you say that?"
"Because you're really pretty and you're from somewhere cool so everybody is going to want to be friends with you."
"Thanks I guess." I said laughingly.
The boy of the family continued to sit quietly on his phone without saying a word to me.

Whenever we arrived to their house, it was a really cute, one story that looked like something straight out of a fairy tail book.

Mia gave me a tour of the house.
"-and this is your bedroom!" She said and directed me to my new room. The room was painted beige with wood furniture and had a very comfortable feel to it.
"I love it!"
"Good cause this is our only guest room." Mia said and then laughed.
The room had a joint bathroom that was connected with another random room. I opened the door to the other room to find the 17 year old boy (Mikey) laying on his bed.
"Can you knock?!" He said.
"Sorry. I was just trying to see what room this was."
"Well it's not yours so get out."
"Why are you so mean?" I asked and then folded my arms.
"Why are you still here?!" He said and then got up and closed his door in my face. Rude.

About 10 minutes later, Mia walked into my room to help me unpack.
"Everything going well?" She asked.
"Yeah but I have 1 question. Why is your brother such a jerk?"
" I'm not really sure. He's not normally like that."
"Well can you tell him to knock it off?"
"Uhhhh I'll try." She said and then scratched her head.
After I unpacked all of my stuff, the room looked a lot more homey.
The family cooked me an Italian themed dinner which included different types of pastas and garlic bread.
"This food looks amazing! Thank you guys for making this for me!"
"I didn't help or want to help make this." Mikey said and then gave a sarcastic smile.
I scrunched up my face at him and then rolled my eyes.
"So I was thinking that tomorrow, Mikey and Mia could take you on a tour of Venice." The mom said.
"Uh momma, I have plans tomorrow." Mikey said .
"Mikey we have a guest!" The mom said with a stern voice.
"It's fine. Mia and I can have a girls day and get to know each other." I said and then did a fake smile at Mikey.
"That sounds like fun!" Mia said energetically.
