I know, I know... A new story again, but this has been in my head for a quite while now and I just had to write it down. I hope you like it because I pretty much my own things and dreams.(BTW this program really does exsist so I didn't make it up.)

Chapter 1 – Unforgettable senior year

My name is Loren Tate and I'm 18 year old junior at high school. I live in a little country in the middle of Europe called Hungary. My house is located in a small town and I live with my parents and my little sister Eva. The most important thing you should know about me is that I love singing and writing my own songs. The only problem is that I am afraid to show them to other people.

My mother language is Hungarian but I've been learning English for a year now and I think I can say that I'm very good at it. I began learning it because when I realized, as a little a kid that there are plenty of other countries on the planet, I always said that I would visit them all no matter what. Of course English is the world language so I started learning as soon as I could. But now I'm grown up and my travel destinations dropped down only to the US.

On a beautiful sunny day in August as I was just surfing the Internet an advertisement caught my attention. I quickly clicked on it and a colorful website appeared on the screen. I read the title on the top and it said 'Exchanging high school students to the USA.' It got me curious so I read it on and found out that there is an opportunity to spend a whole school year in the USA. It said that the exchanging students will be stowed by selected host families and they will also warrant a visa. The only things we'd have to pay are the flight ticket and any other spending. My gaze traveled down to the bottom and when I saw the prices my eyes went widened and my hope and joy slowly turned into sadness. It was a lot of money that I know for a fact that my family couldn't afford. Well it was really nice at least just to project myself into this beautiful dream, but seems like it will remain only as a dream. I will never get a chance to experience what it's like to be there and I know that I need to accept that. Don't get me wrong I love my home and Europe, but sometimes you just get bored of it and want to see the other parts of the world.

As I was imagining the time passed by and looking at the clock the realization of me being late for work hit me. I quickly gathered my stuffs and ran out of the room leaving my computer on the table opened.

During the day Loren's mom came into her room to put her laundry on its place. As she was folding her shirts she noticed Loren's laptop being opened on the table. Standing up she walked over there to shut it, but then she took a notice of the website on the screen. She sat down on her chair and read it over. When she was done a huge sigh that she didn't even know she was holding left her mouth. Her little girl is grown up and she knows she have to let her go to see the world. She had rushed out of the room and went to find her husband. They have an important decision to make.

After a very long day at work Loren was extremely happy and relieved when she reached the porch of her house. She's really tired and all she wants to do right now is crashing her bed. She took her keys out of her pocket and opening the door she walked inside. She pulled off her shoes and hung her leather jacket onto the rack when she caught a sight of her parents watching her from the living room. She looked at them confused and then walked over there to ask what is wrong.

Loren: Hey guys! What is going on?

Trent: Don't worry. Everything is fine. Actually everything is great.

Loren: So then why are you guys sitting here like this?

Nora: We have some good news and we want to share them with you.

Loren: Well then do it!

She sat down across of her parents and waited for them to continue.

Nora: Your father and I have been thinking.

Loren: About what?

Trent: We have been giving a lot of thoughts to this and we think you've earned this.

Loren: I have earned what?

Nora: Loren you have been studying so hard since you're in school. Your grades are impeccable, you took the intermediate language exam, you have a good job and we're just so proud of the things you've accomplished.

Loren: Thank you mom!

Trent: Next year will be your last year at high school and we think you deserve an unforgettable senior year.

Loren: What do you mean?

Nora: Earlier today when I was doing laundry I went into your room and I noticed your laptop being on. I wanted to turn it off but then I saw the website that you'd been reading.

Loren: Mom I was just reading it. You shouldn't have seen it…

Nora: Calm down! There's no problem with you reading it.

Trent: Your mom is right. So where were we? Oh yes. As we said we've done some thinking and we both agreed on this decision.

Loren: What decision? You got me curious…

Trent reached behind him and pulled something out of his hip-pocket. He started fluttering a paper in front of Loren's face and then both of Nora's and Trent's lips turned into a big grin.

N&T: You're going to the USA. – They said squalling.

Loren: What?! Are you serious?

Nora: 100% serious. We've already bought your ticket and everything else is settled.

Trent: You will spend the next year in the US.

Loren: Thank you! Thank you! I love you guys so much you're the best! – She said jumping up and hugged her parents.

The moment they pulled away Loren couldn't hold back the tears that have wanted to escape since she heard her parents' good news. After this they all sat down together and talked trough every single detail.

The days turned into weeks and the day of Loren's departure slowly arrived. During this period of time Loren, Nora and Trent have everything settled to make sure everything would go well while she is in America. Meanwhile she received an email from the company with her visa and the location of her transitory home. When she heard that she had been stowed in LA she went nuts. Not only did she get the opportunity of spending a whole school year in the US, but she even can see her favorite city.

Now she and her family are all in Budapest at the airport waiting for Loren's plane to take off. After a watery farewell she finally entered the plane and set off to Los Angeles. Spending 20 hours on the plane they finally arrived and a tired Loren walked out to the terminal, where host family was already waiting, with her luggage closely behind her. When she saw the people with a Loren signed card her eyes widened. There were standing Katy and Max Duran and the famous MK from the 80's. She then looked a little bit right and saw a colorful girl standing next them. She assumed she is their daughter.

Max: Hey!Are you Loren?

Loren: Yes.

Katy: Great. Well then welcome to America! I am Katy Duran. – She put her hand out for Loren to shake it.

Loren: No, I know who you are. I'm just still in shock.

Max: Really? Do you know who we are?

Loren: Of course. You're pretty famous in Hungary too.

Katy: Well good to know we have fans in Europe as well.

Loren smiled and then the colorful girl spoke up.

Girl: My name is Melissa, but you can call me Mel. I am 18 as well and about to be a senior so we will spend a lot of time together.

Loren: Awesome!

Max and Mel helped Loren with her bags while Katy went to fetch the car. They walked out to their car and after putting Loren's luggage in the trunk they drove off to the Duran's place. When they arrived Max parked the car on the driveway then they walked over to the front door together. As Katy was walking through the door she called after a boy named Eddie. Loren was confused 'cause she had no idea who he was.

Loren: Eddie? Who's Eddie?

Mel: Oh he is just my brother. He is really nice and he's into music like you so I think you guys will get along great.

Loren: I hope so.

She heard dome noises coming from the big staircase and when she turned around to see who it is her jaw dropped. A very good-looking boy, who could be 2 years older than Loren, walked down to the hall. Katy stepped aside so he could get a side of the new girl and when they were standing in front of each other a cute but still sexy smile appeared on Eddie's face.

Eddie: Hey! My name is Eddie Duran. It's nice to finally meet you! – He said with an extended arm.
