Prologue:
-Are you ready? Do I have to remind you that you are leaving this morning? yells my mother.
-I'm coming! I answer her.
My mother always has been the kind of person who can't help to hurry all the time, even if we have enough time. Well, it was either that, or either she was way too relaxed. I think the herbs she puts in her tea for headaches are for something in it. Fortunately, she hasn't drink her tea yet. She's too stressed for that. I put my laptop in my backpack with my book and I stop in front of the mirror.
-Are you really gonna leave looking like that? I ask myself.
I take my hairbrush and I make my hair looks a little bit better. Yeah, a tiny little bit. I arrange my make-up but as usual, it looks horrible. Then I sigh, I take my bag and I join my mum downstairs. I quickly eat a bowl of cereals. But really quick or my mum will run out of her mind. While I eat, she puts my two cases in the car. Will I really have to hold them when I will arrive at the airport? Awesome.
Once my breakfast's over, we get in the car and we lead to the Roissy Airport. This old and great Charles De Gaulle Airport. There is always a lot of people in there. Even on tuesday like today. Well, it's Paris. Then, I go with my mum to do… the things you do in an airport before ending in the plane, and clearly, I didn't get everything. One hour and a half later, a creepy voice sound in the loud speaker.
-The passengers for the flight Paris-Palos Verdes need to reach terminal…
I don't have the time to hear the end of the sentence because my mother is already almost running to the plane with my arm in her hand. I see a few students of my school who take a part in the exchange with Palos Hills High School in United States. Going there for 6 months is quite cool but I'm kind of scarred. I've never spoken to the girl who will host me for the next 6 months. I hope it's gonna be alright… My mum hugs me before I get in the plane and makes me promise to use my special USA phone package to call her when I arrive. And there we go.
