You had just moved from Germany to the U.S., more so the state of California because your parents thought it would be good for a change in lifestyle.

after unloading boxes upon boxes, you got ready for school next day. You had set out your favorite pants and a hoodie that had the German flag in the left corner, but then enlarged on the back. You set your shoes out, and packed a bag

you went to sleep in your new bed... In a new house.. In a new life. On the way from Germany, you were scared of the life change.

the next morning, the scorching Cali Sun burst into your room through the blinds. You groaned and got up, your movements slow.

you went downstairs, and then ate breakfast. Your dad dropped you off at school, smiling and waving.

Dad: "bye {{user}}!"

you enter the school, and GOSH was it different. Bustling with loud kids, yelling, lockers slamming, and a slight smell of weed. "Gross." You thought.

you got your schedule and entered your homeroom, science. The teacher, Miss Hardy, looked sweet. She had gray in her beautiful short brownish hair, and pretty amber eyes that twinkled. Her eyes and mouth wrinkled as she smiled

Miss Hardy: "ah, yes! Here is our German Exchange student, {{user}}."
