Look Before You Seek
Chapter 1
Minnie sighed as the small airplane touched down in France. It had been a long trip from Australia, and Minnie was very tired. She had been very emotional about the move, and had been very snappy at everyone.It's bad enough that we have to move to France, Minnie thought, glowering out the window. But I have to go to a boarding school too! How could they have been so mean!
If you have ever had to move, then you may know how hard it is to leave your friends behind, but if you've ever moved to another country, where people don't even speak the same language as you, then you'll know exactly how she felt. But it wasn't as though Minnie was completely clueless. After all, she had been doing French for 5 years, and her parents had hired a tutor to teach her the language and year prior to traveling. Minnie was actually very fluent in French.
It's not like we're even going to be in Paris she thought gloomily. They were going to this remote city in France that she had never heard of, and she couldn't even pronounce it, let alone spell it.
Her father had been transferred to France as a promotion, as he was to manage the production of the new company line in France. Some promotion, Minnie had thought. Minnie's father was an architect, and the trip had been company paid. The new school that Minnie would now be going to had even been chosen by the company, all expenses paid.
Minnie already missed her best friend, Kira. She said that she would write back to her as soon as she got to France, with her new address and all. "Don't worry, dear," Her mother had said.
"You'll make new friends." But Minnie didn't want to make new friends. She wanted to keep the old ones. She didn't want to live in a place that she had never been to before, she wanted to go back home.
Minnie and her parents waited outside the airport for their taxi, which had been hired by the company. It was very noisy at the airport, and there was a lot of commotion, but Minnie just fixed her gray-blue eyes on the horizon until their transport came.
Minnie didn't say a word to her parents fort the entire trip. Her parents were to busy talking to the cab driver to notice anyway. "Look, Minnie This is your new school," her father said as they pulled into the car park of Kadic boarding school.
Minnie just grunted.
