Younger

This story is about a teenage girl, and an exchange student her family takes in from the French speaking side of Canada. When she hears the news, Sylver can barely contain her own excitement. Unfortunately, her Dad is taking them in, and she only goes to her Father's house every other weekend. Still, she makes herself a goal to be their best friend.

She soon finds out that the student is a boy, but her family has yet to learn his name. Upon her first trip to her Father's house, the boy confides he does not like being called by a French name, as it feels awkward in America. Syl helps him choose an American name to go by for the time being.

The boy is a year younger than Syl, and as a result is a grade below her. It doesn't affect much, since they don't attend the same school anyway, but when the boy develops a crush on Syl, he worries about telling her, because he is afraid of rejection based on his being younger.

Based on how far I push this story will decide whether the mature rating stays off or not.
