"excuse me, the planes landed and were gonna have to ask you to leave" a woman with red locks and caked makeup says to me.

I squeeze my eyes trying to wake up more and clear my vision.

I sigh opening the top storage to get my suitcase.

I step down the steps, my breath gets heavier each step I go down. I'm about to meet the people I will be living with for the next 2 years.

I walk outside and the heat hits my skin it feels awfully unusual.

Canada is mostly cold and never gets this hot.

I sit on a bus stop which I was told my 'cousins' were supposed to pick me up.

I wait about 5 minutes till a car drives in front of me.

I stand up and a blonde boy rolls down the window.

"Rose?" He asks and I nod.
he opens the door and approaches me taking my suitcase. I try not to think much of it but it really bothered me. He's just trying to be nice.

"Come on" he says.

And it takes all my strength to take the 6 steps and enter the passenger seat, closing the door behind me.

"So you're the girl that's going to be living with us for the next 2 years" he smiles.
"Yup. And I'm guessing you're the unknown lost cousin I never met?" I say and he nods.

"One of them at least. Sorry my mom couldn't pick you up. She needed to go to the office to sign the final release on taking custody of you." He says.

"It's fine" I shrug.

there was an awkward silence before he introduced himself.

"I'm Jack. Jack Johnson."
