Thanks To You
New in town.
Getting out of the airport, I got a taxi and told the driver the adress of my new house.
"So you're new 'round here, eh?" The driver said, looking at me through the mirror.
"Yep. I'm coming from England. Exchange program." I told the old man.
"Well... welcome to the city of Baltimore kid, how old are ya?" He asked.
"Uh... fifteen." I was getting annoyed, like, really.
"Pretty young, eh?" Creepy guy. "So... how muck time ya gonna spend 'round here?" Shut up dude.
"One year." SHUT THE FUCK UP. "Uh... how much time till we get there..?" I said, changing the subject.
"Oh... hold up, we're almost there." He said, turning his eyes to the road once again.
When we finally arrived there, after one hour of painful conversation with a creepy ass taxi driver, I payed the guy and walked into the porch of a huge red house.
I knocked at the door a few times and started to wonder if I was at the wrong house, but it had to be there. After a couple of minutes waiting, an old woman finally opened the door. She was short and wore a yellow floral dress, had really short white hair and a kind smile.
"Oh... you must be the exchange program boy, come in darling, you look tired." She said, opening the door and smiling even more. "CHARLIE, COME HERE AND GET THE BOY'S LUGGAGE." She screamed really loud for an old woman. "My husband is coming to get your stuff and move it to your bedroom dear, I'm Rose." More smiles.
"Alexander, and thank you." I smiled back.
After two hours of eating, talking, signing papers and talking more, little Rose took me to my bedroom. It was huge, like really, much better than my bedroom back in Essex. It was inside the roof, so it looked like a tent, which was awesome, the walls were white and there was this huge wardrobe with a bed in front of it. On the top of the bed there was a window and by the door there was this nice table with a computer and some other stuff on it. And finally, between the bed and this table there was a door to the bathroom, which was also huge, and had a bathtub in it. I felt in heaven.
Seeing the big smile on my face, little Rose laughed really hard.
"I'm glad you like it dear." She said, still chuckling. "Your classes start in a week, take your time to decorate your room and get to know the town, I'll call you when dinner is ready."
"Wow, this is awesome." I smiled. "Thank you." I hugged her, she reminded me of grandma.
"Oh, stop it, you say "thank you" way too much." She chuckled and left me alone in that awesome bedroom.
Well, moving here wasn't so bad after all.
