Exchange Student//Billie Eilish

The First Move

A/N: sorry this is a long first chapter

"Taylor! Get up or you'll be late, your flight is in an hour!" Your mother yelled from downstairs.

You suddenly jump out of bed, remembering today's the day you finally get to travel to America! You're school has agreed to let you be part of the exchange programme you've been applying to for almost a year.

You quickly hop into the shower, get dressed and grab your suitcase. You head downstairs and to the front door, you swing open the door and it hits the wall.

"Hey Taylor calm down, I know you're excited but remember your sister still has school" you just sighed and got into the car after putting your suitcase in the boot.

On the way to the airport you switch on the radio and this song comes on

Maybe it's in the gutter
Where I left my lover
What an expensive fake

You've never heard this song before but it's good af so you decide to look up the lyrics and find out it's a song called bellyache. You've never heard of the artist before so you decide to check out more of her music, she's pretty good.

"Ok Taylor, would you like me to walk you to the gate in case you get lost? I'll just walk you I-" you cut your mother off because she can sometimes be too much, even though you love her.

"Mom! Mom it's ok I know where I have to go I've been waiting for this day for so long but thank you, I could use a hug before I go though" you couldn't be happier that your mom is the most supportive person you know, even after your father left her for another man, she's still the same.

You eventually break the hug and step out the car, grabbing your suitcase with you. You walk into the airport and hear the speaker call out your gate number, you were just on time. You lightly jog to the gate as it's kind of far away but you get there in time.

"Ticket please miss" the stewardess says politely. You hand her your ticket, first class. You've never been first class on a plane before and you were so excited.

You hurried onto the plane to find your seat. You put your suitcase in your little private space and sit down on the comfy chair, take your phone out and put it on airplane mode before placing it on the small table beside you. The plane speeds up until you're finally in the air, you look out of your window and see the clouds below you. The seatbelt sign dings and you can now get up and walk around, so you choose to get up and go to the food bar for an apple or something. After getting back to your room you take your phone off the table to plug in your earphones to listen to your newly downloaded music.

It's been a few hours on the flight and there's still a few to go, you go to sleep so you're not tired when you get there. You kept your music in while sleeping to block out the noise of the plane and you fall asleep quicker than you thought you would. You wake up a few hours later with 5 minutes till landing time so you rub your eyes, unplug your phone and sit in your seat as the seatbelt sign started to glow again.

You grab your stuff off the plane and walk into the new airport you've never seen before, it's totally new but you like it. You scan around outside for a sign that says your name and you finally found it.

"Ahh nice to meet you, Taylor is it?I believe you'll be staying with my family and I for the next few months." The tall man with slightly ginger hair says.

"Yes and you must be Finneas. It's nice to meet you. I'm glad to be staying with you." This guy seems nice but I can't wait to finally sit down without listening to an airplane engine.

You get into his car which is surprisingly nice, it's an all black Dodge Challenger.

"Wow nice car. Must've been expensive." You give him a small smile.

"It's not mine it's my sisters. She loves cars, and also is very excited to meet you by the way. She loves meeting new people." He glances at you then back at the road, tapping the steering wheel with his index fingers.

He turns on the radio and some rap music comes on and he starts bopping up and down in his seat, which makes you giggle and he looks over at you with a smile on his face.

You eventually get to a small driveway on a nice little street, and Finneas pulls up to the house. He gets out and jogs to your side of the car to open your door for you.

"Such a gentleman" you giggle as you walk to get your suitcase and you notice he blushes slightly.

You finally get into the house which has a very cozy feeling to it and a lady walks up to greet you.

"Hello, you must be Taylor! We have all been very excited to meet you. I'm Maggie, that over there on the couch is Patrick and my daughter Billie is in the kitchen." She exclaims, she seems sweet already, I hope she likes me.

You get a tour of the house and get shown to you room which is lovely and small with a doubl bed and purple curtains draping over the window. You fall back onto the bed and close your eyes just for a second before waking up the next morning, fully tucked under the sheets.
