I wait for most of the people on the plane to clear out before standing up myself and walking towards the exit. I make my way off of the plane, thanking the flight attendants and crew before leaving. It's dark when I look out the large glass windows all around the airport. I'm slightly disappointed that the first time I'm actually in London, I can't even take a look around without the soft street lights changing my perspective.

I see a sign with big letters saying London Heathrow International Airport. Beside it is a sign telling you where to go. I search through the list trying to find the baggage claim. I see a straight arrow beside where the board reads "baggage claim." I follow the directions of this new surrounding and stop when I see people crowded by a conveyer belt.

I see a boy who looks around my age with an older looking brown haired women standing beside him. Together, they both hold a sign sporting my full name. I walk over to the women looking her strait in the eye.

"Hi" I smile, "I'm Shailene but I'm not realy quite sure who you are..." I finish nervously. The women holds her hand out and I take it, firmly grasping it while shaking it.

"I'm Jane, and this is my son Theodore" she smiles warmly "Its Theo." I hear the boy grunt. "Theodore is my son" I see Theo role his eyes as his mother continues to speak " and he will be helping you around since you, unlike the other students here, aren't coming in the beginning of the school year. We gave you the same schedule as Theodore so we knew we had somebody we trusted as your tour person guy thingy."

I smile back. "Thank you" I say softly. Maybe this won't be as bad. Is it bad if I wish Jane was my mother instead of.... Laura? I'm snapped out of my thoughts when Theo, or Theodore or whatever his name is says nice to meet you and holds out his hand. I gladly except and smile at him also.

THEOS POV
She's beautiful, I think to myself. Snapping me out of my stare, my mother elbows me in the side as the girl approaches us. She stares at my mother intently as she comes closer. "Hi, I'm Shailene but I'm not quite sure who you are." She says nervously. My mother begins to go on her whole speil about the school and how I will be the one helping her because she's coming into the school year. I grunt when my mother calls me Theodore, earning a quick glance from Shailene. She thanks my mom and I step closer, holding my hand towards her. "It's nice to meet you" I smile, snapping her out of her thoughts. She holds my hand softly and shakes it.

"Flight 302, your bags will now began coming into the airport" plays the large loudspeakers above our heads. "That's my flight, I should go look for my bag" she says before walking off. I follow behind closely, making sure not to lose her. I walk up beside her, our arms brushing. I feel her shiver and a small smile plays along my lips.

"There's one of my bags" She says pointing to a single violet suitcase. "Wait, why aren't the rest with that one?" I inspect the situation as she continues to talk. I walk over to the moving conveyer belt and grab the purple suitcase. Setting it on the ground, I begin rolling it back towards Shailene.

"Did you see any others?" She asks as I return to her side, still holding the suitcase. "No, and that was a small flight. Judging the by the fact that there is nothing left I'm going to assume your luggage was lost." I reply, putting both of my hands in my jean pockets.

I see concern flash through her eyes. She looks at me with her eyes glassy, trying not to let a tear slip. "Hey," I say softly, putting my large hand on her arm. "It'll be alright. We'll call the other airports you stopped at and find if it got left somewhere. You'll be okay." I finish, caressing her arm up and down slightly.

SHAIS POV (picking up right at the end of Theos pov)
I nod, fearing that a tear will spill over any second. I can't look weak in front of people I just met and I'll have to get used to. "Come on, I'll take your bag and you can go ahead and follow my mom out to the car. I'll be out in a minute." He says giving me a weak smile. I nod my head, turning to walk the other way. I catch up to his mom and follow her to the car.

"Where are your bags hun?" She asks when she turns around to look at me. "Oh, um, Theodore is bringing my bag for me." I reply. "Bag?" She asks confused. " oh uh, yeah Theodore thinks that my other bags got left at the airport that I had my layover at. He said he'll call and find them. Hopefully that bag is a bag with my clothing." I smile, giggling a bit.

I hear firm footsteps getting closer behind me. A hand comes around my body and opens my door. I look back and see Theo opening the trunk of the car to put my bag in. Once he places it in, he shuts the trunk. I get in the car and pull the door shut. I hear the car door beside me open only to see Theo sitting in the seat beside me, instead of the front. Jane pulls out and most of the car ride is silent.

I feel the car slow down, take a couple turns, then stop. "Here we are." Says Theo beside me. "Mom, what dorm is Shailene in?" He asks. "Lake side point." His mother answers. "What dorm room am I?" I ask Jane. "Um, Shailene we had a shortage of rooms this year so I'm sorry but we had to put you in with a boy." She says nervously. "Mom, who is she in with?" Theo asks tensely, sounding nervous. "Well, Theodore, let's just say your not going to have a one person room anymore."
