Joshua's POV

It's been two days since I arrived in London and I'm already in love woth this place. So far Maria has been taking me on tours of the local areas by the house as she doesn't have time to take me to the icon attractions, and I'm okay with that. She taught me how to read the London Underground map, at first I found it confusing but then I got the hang of it.

Today, I woke up to my first original London morning weather, cloudy and raining. Fucking hell!

I stared at the window thinking to myself 'There's no fucking way I'm going out in this weather'.

I was about to head downstairs but as I was about to open the bedroom door of the unkown daughter, I relised I was in my boxers with no shirt. Shit! So I quickly changed to a pair of grey sweatpants and a white t-shirt.

I headed downstairs to find Lucia preparing a bowl of cornflakes. Most boring cereal ever.

"Good morning." I greeted to Lucia.

"More like bad morning." She replied with a smile, I laughed. "Do you want a cup of tea?" she asked.

Oh yeah, British people love their tea.

"Umm, no thanks. I think I'm just gonna have cereal."

I went to the cupboard, one out of five. I stood there confused as a bee thinking, which one should I open.

"The cereal is on the cupboard in the corner." Lucia said as she was sitting on the sofa with her bowl of cornflakes.

"Oh, thanks" said as I opened the cupboard.

"Look, if you have any trouble with finding anything, just ask. Better than standing there looking like an air head." She's a smart mouth, I can tell you that.

I reached for the Coco Pops. That was my shit.

"Ugh," Lucia groaned in the background. I turned to her. "you like them, too? My sister is the only one in the house that eats them."

Wow, we already have something in common.

I heard a phone ring as I was getting the milk from the fridge. I assumed it was Lucia's cell phone.

The ringtone was 'Kiss You' by One Direction. Great, I'm gonna be living with a 1D fan, I'm gonna go back the New Jersey gay.

"Hello?" Lucia answered. "Oh hi, Benji."

I wonder who this Benji is. I shouldn't ask, I assume he's her best friend. (A/N: Yes boys and girls can be best friends.)

"Umm, today?" She looked at me with a questioning face, wondering what I would think...I nodded at agreement. She mouthed 'thank you' to me and I smiled.

"Okay, what time? Sounds good. Oh, I got an exchange student living in my house and I don't wanna leave him alone, so can he come along?" She's really nice actually, I guess she's... wait, what did she just say?

"Thanks! Bye, Benji." She hung up her phone and set it on the counter. "You, upstairs and get changed." She demanded out of the blue. I was dumb founded.

"Wait, what?" I asked confusingly.

"Your coming with me and Benji to Oxford Street." I looked at her puzzled.

"Oh, Oxford Street is one of the most popular shopping places in all of London." She explained and I finally understood.

"Oh okay" I replied. "So, why do I have to come along?" I questioned.
