This is the first time I've ever written a story/ fanfic. My mother tongue isn't English so I would love to get tips to make my story better. I hope you enjoy reading it!
Chapter 1: Tree Hill here I come
"I can't believe this day came so quickly" said a young man to himself as he looked at his reflection in the mirror, his dark blond hair pointing in every direction, blue eyes with green spots round his pupils, pale since he haven't been sleeping much, still suffering from a jetlag. It only had been a week since he flew in from Holland to spend a year in the sates as an exchange student.
He went out of the bathroom into his room and started gathering some books for his first day of school.
"Are you presentable?" The young man looked up and saw a short man with brown hair standing in the door. "Can I come in?" asked the man with a slight New Zealand accent. "Sure come in Andy, I'm just getting my books" the young man replied.
"So are you ready for your first day of school?", Andy asked with compassion, he was glad that he had someone to talk to, when he volunteered to be a host to a foreign exchange student, he still was married to his wife Catherine, but only three month's after they found out they would be hosting someone his wife died in a car crash. Since his wife was really excited about having someone stay with them, he decided not to cancel and let the student stay with him the coming year. He was glad he had some company in his big mansion.
"Ready as I'll ever be" the young man replied nervously. "Ok, well I've got a surprise for you, call it a welcome to the states gift" Andy said as he lead his guest down to the garage.
After passing a Ferrari, Porsche, Mustang and a Range Rover they ended up at a car covered with a sheet. "Go ahead, uncover it already" Andy said, awaiting his guest's reaction. The young man walked closer to the sheet grabbed it firmly and pulled it away. His mouth just fell open when he saw a brand new black Mercedes S500 standing in front of him. Andy started laughing and threw the keys to his guest. "Andy this is too much, I can't drive this, what if something happens, I won't be able to forgive myself if I scratch it or something." Don't worry about it, you need transportation and I want you to ride in style. So hop in darn it!" Andy said jokingly. They young man obeyed his host and got in, and tried to figure out what al the gizmos in the dashboard were meant for. "Listen I've got to go, I start working in 30 minutes, I'll see you at dinner." Andy waved while leaving. "Yeah, I'll see you tonight, thanks again Andy." The young man turned the keys in the ignition and drove of to his first day of school.
As the young man drove to school he still couldn't believe that Andy gave him this car. There was allot he couldn't believe about his stay with Andy. He came from a normal sized family he had 2 brothers, him being the oldest. His mom was the only provider since his jerk of a father abandoned them when his youngest brother was born. Although they always had to watch their expenses, they never fell short of anything. So he needed some time to get used to Andy's wealth.
He stopped thinking about it, when he parked his car in front of Tree Hill high. He couldn't help to feel nervous. Because in every American high school movie or TV show he had seen, exchange students weren't exactly portrayed as being easily accepted by the other students. He took a deep breath and started walking towards the school.
