I remember this as the palm of my hand…
I was ten years old; I remember my first day on my exchange-school. I wake up early that morning just waiting to see my room, but no, there I was just in an estrangers room, then someone entered my room, I almost felt like it was a dream, he the man that I saw on internet. Oh, now I remember he’s Brooke’s daddy, my exchange-program sister. He just pop-out his head into my room to say, “Hi there Rise-and-Shine it’s time to bath, is your first day of school”.
Great! I just got out of my school in Guatemala and here I’m in another school, “Well just go with it Stephanie”, I said to myself as I got all the thing I needed, my toothbrush for later, my underwear, the uniform that they’d given me the day before (ugliest uniform I had ever seen), some sucks, and the pair of shoes I had brought from my house, well I think I’m done so let see, I pop-out my head to watch if someone was watching me and to see were the bathroom was, there at the end of the hall, “Well Stephanie now slowly, slowly, slowly”, “HI” someone said I just ran of to my room again and into my bed, because I didn’t wanted anyone else watching me on my pajamas. As I just sat someone entered my room, “Hey Brooke” I said with a little voice, “Hi” she said and she sat on my bed, then she asked, “Well are you got to bath or not because mom says we better hurry if we don’t want to get late to school”, “I’m going” I said as I walk behind her following to the bathroom, she explained me how to use the bathtub and were the towels were, then she left leaving me all alone in the bathroom, I locked the door and bath. I got dressed in less that five minutes, then hurried up to were the kitchen was and sat down waiting for the mom to give me my dinner, but them five minutes passed and I got bored so I went to Brooke’s room she told me we were going to have dinner on the school and got all her things ready. As soon as she looked at me, just sitting on her bed she said, “Hey are your things ready?” I didn’t even had a backpack so she gave me one and went to get some things before they called us.
When we finally got ready we went to the dad’s car and sat there as he came in with some papers on the hands. He turned the car on and got on the way to school, I was starting to feel homesick, just watching the window thinking about nothing but at the same time thinking about everything. We finally got to school, well here I was, THIS was my moment the moment that will decided everything, ok Stephanie are you READDDDDDYYYYY! Well, no really, I didn’t even had time to finish my encourage speech to myself, because Brooke had already hold my hand and gotten me all running. Well I guess I just have to go with the flow. We entered the school crossed a few hall until we were out in the school-park. There was where the real race started. She went from one side to another holding my arm tight showing to everyone as if I was some type of gift, or some estrange creature. Every time I was going to say Hi to the person she pulled me of and to another person, so I guess she’d just happy for me been here with her, but really, this is starting to annoyed me, then the miracle happened. The bell rang and all the boys and girls that were there, started to form a line in front of the door that held into the school. I didn’t know were I was supposed to be so I just stood there. A hand hold mine as if we were best friend from all the life and said, “Hi”, I’m Andrew, you must be the exchange girl, come with me I’ll get you with Brooke. He pulled slowly my hand guiding me into the second line were he passed through the girls line leaving me there while he got into the boy’s line. Then he just gave one of those smiles that can make shine the world.
