The day you feel your own seed growing.

The exchange

I opened my soft green eyes to see the shadow of a tree in the door of my wardrobe reflected by sunlight rays, for me even the shadow was beautiful, then I came back to reality. I have school today!                          - I thought -. I quickly got dressed, had breakfast and then walked to school . 

We were in PE when the teacher Roy came and gave Tobin, Blaine, Max and Sabrina some papers, I recognised those papers easily, those papers had information about their hosted families. Our school had some exchanges with other countries often, I went to one of these exchanges when I was in 5th grade, ever since the Tulsa exchange, I've been in love with America . I have some experience with this kind of stuff I've had two american girls in my house, I consider them my american sisters, first I had a girl whose name was Coco, She had green eyes and freckles like me and always wore her glasses, she is the craziest girl I've ever met she loves to joke around all the time, she is also very brave and competitive, she is now in 6th grade and this year I had a girl called Addie, she was (and is) blonde and had hazel eyes and freckles around her nose and cheeks, at first she was very shy and she didn't talk much, but believe me when a shy person starts trusting you she will be talking 24/7 she was really sweet, intelligent, loyal, and the best sister I've ever had ( even better than my own sister, no offence ).

Anyways, I really wanted to go to this exchange, they were going to the virgin islands! I mean, who wouldn't like to go there? But my school only chose one girl, and they chose Sabrina, seriously of all the girls she was the worst, she didn't behave well in class, she had bad marks,... But Roy chose her because Sabrina's parents were his friends, how unfair is that? I couldn't do anything about it and I felt disappointed as my dream has been for a long time to live in America, but I was also exited to meet the american kids that were coming to my class.

Everyone in my class started looking at the pictures of the american kids, none of them really caught my attention, until I saw Blaine's "american brother" his hair was dyed in a bright yellowish colour and it was long and curly, the girls in my class were talking about how disappointed they were ( because the only reason they were interested on the boys was to try to flirt with them ) they were talking about how weird was Blaine's "american brother" and that his hair was really ugly and blah blah blah. I felt sick every time they started to talk about him, I didn't really know why I felt like this, but I just kind of ignored it. I wasn't the typical girl who just thought about flirting with boys or getting a boyfriend, I was more of an spiritual kind of person, instead of always being surrounded by boys, I liked to spend my time surrounded by nature. I had always believed in soulmates, but my life didn't consist on waiting for a boy to come for me and make my life better, I thought that you had to be prepared to meet your soulmate, and that you would meet him at the right time, but right now I am independent and I like having my own space and privacy from others.

I'm not like other spanish girls, who seem to be always in a party mood, flirting and talking about not really nice stuff with boys, but boys aren't any better, they are so childish, they spend one of our most precious gifts, which is time, by making weird noises in class or talking to girls. None of the boys really catch my attention.

Today I woke up somehow exited, I didn't know why, but I felt like something big was going to happen today, I brushed my brown wavy hair, brushed my teeth with spearmint toothpaste and ate a fresh green apple before going to school.

When I entered to my class, my heart just stopped, as I saw those somehow familiar platinum blonde curls.
