New World

Part 1: moving in

Today is the day, we are officially moving to the US more specifically Colorado Springs. I don't know what to think, i'm excited to move but at the same time i really don't want to live in the US!  We had to move due to my fathers job, as he would get more opportunities there, but don't ask me what he does because i have no idea!  I never met my fathers friend, apparently they met when they were doing their military service in Africa, in their late 20s (which was a very long time ago!). But my parents swore that they are really nice, so it should be fine right? For the trip i wore my black lululemon leggings, and a pink Jack Wills t-shirt, i had a grey jumper on for the plane, which was from Jack wills as well. I had my pink Adidas shoes, and my EastPack backpack.

Just as we were going to board on our British Airways flight to Colorado, i started getting more and more stressed.

"Ca va ma chérie?" asked my mom (are you allright my love?)

"Oui, je stresse juste un peut, je dois carrement changer de systèm scholaire, je passe du français, a l'anglais pour tout mes cours!" I said while fidgeting with my backpack (yeah, i'm just a bit stressed out, i have to go to an all french speaking school to an all english school)

"rho, mais ca va aller ma belle! tu es bilinghue en anglais! et au moins tu connaîtras quatre garçons qui vont la bas aussi. Tu connais pas personne." reassured my dad (Don't worry about it! you are fluent in english! and you won't be alone, you will at least already know 4 guys there)

I smilled at my parents feeling a bit less stressed. We moved to find our allocated seats, mine by the window of course. And we started deciding which movie we wanted to sea, for our long flight ahead of us.

After our 13hours plane ride (with one stop to Dallas, from London), we finally arrived. As we got out of the airport we saw, a pretty petit woman, quite slim, holding a sheet of paper with our name on it. 

"There you are! i am so heppy to see you! How are you Beatrice (my mom), Oliver (my dad)? " she said excitedly " Jim will be so happy to see you" it's been ages since you last saw each other!"

"And this must be Victoria! What a beautiful young lady! You are going to make so heads turn with your European beauty! We don't see a lot of that around here!" She said, quite eagerly. 

For a small woman she talked really fast! I gave her a sweet smile as i didn't know how to respond.

"Thank you Mme." i said shyly and with a smile. 

" Oh please call me Kate my dear! i do hate it when people call me Mme! i feel so old! But what a beautiful accent you have! we can clearly hear your British accent! my boys will love it! you will really be the talk of the school my dear!" she exclaimed, while putting her arm around my shoulder.

"Thank you so much for letting us stay in you house Katherine!" said my dad and mom, at the same time, while we moved to the car.

" Oh nonsense! It's our pleasure! You know... i don't know if i will ever get used to your accents!" Katherine said while laughing.

The car ride from the airport was an hour long,during that time my parents got to catch up with their old friend, while i looked at my new home for the next year. My mom and i were talking in french about school stuff until we arrived in front of this red house/ ranch. 

"Welcome to your home for the next 4 month!" Kate enthusiastically said while pointing at the house.

" Wow" me and my dad said at the same time. " Ca ressemble tellement au maison dans un film Americain!" i said jokingly, while my dad snickered next to me (it looks exactly like in the films!)

After looking at the house and the front yard, we took our suitcases out of the trunk, and the front door just boosted open. 

Hey guys! i hope you liked the first chapter! this is the very first book i have ever written so please be nice! please write commentaries, i would love to hear what you to say about it and how to make it better! Please don't mind all the poorly written phrases and words, English is my second language, French is my first. I actually did live in London, the majority of my life (and in china and Ireland, and never lived in France even do i'm French!). 

Please don't take offence on what i write about the US, i literally just write all the stereotypes that i know, but i mean nothing about it! My two best friends are actually American, and they laught about these stereotypes as well!

PLease like and comment!
