Exchange student...

[myeightinyou]

(name: Mark Cage)

I had been pretty nervous about this. Last week I had been chosen out of some two hundred students in my school to participate in a foreign exchange program. For the first month, this girl was supposed to come here and live with me and my family (which consisted of just of my father and mother), then for the second month, I would go to Japan and live with her family.

I was only 18 years old, a senior in high school, and she was 18 as well, I was told. She would go to my high school and get regular treatment like any normal student, and everything. The same would occur for me once I went over there.

Just so happened that the weekend that this girl was coming in to live with my family, my parents had to be out for the weekend due to an emergency buisness trip. It was Friday, and they wouldn't be back until Monday.

Obviously she spoke English -- she had to in order to be eligible to enter the program. I myself did speak Japanese, I've been fascinated with their culture ever since I was little and have been taking classes in order to master the language for some eight years now.

So here I was now...

...around 5 PM, waiting for her at the airport along with Miss June, the vice-principal of our high school. Miss June was in her late 20s and was really attractive, and I usually couldn't take my eyes off of her beautiful body. My eyes weren't focused on her at the moment though -- I was looking around the airport nervously as the flight this girl was supposed to be on from Japan had just arrived. Miss June held up a sign that read her name, "May." That's all she apparently asked to be put on the sign when she spoke with our school. Apparently, she preferred being called that over her actual full name.

(OOC: Just looking for somebody to play Miss June and May... and so what if their names are funny?!)

I was thrilled to have been rewarded the honor to be an exchange student. I was chosen to join this family in America.

The flight was a long one to me as the daytime I left home was night time when I arrived in the airport. I was very nervous as I smoothed the silk blouse down.

I was in red silken blouse with jeans. I wanted to blend in with the teenagers. Of course my ink black hair and dark almond shaped eyes with the golden color of my skin makes me a target for bullies. I was glad that the family I was staying with had a son that was to be my guide as well as muscle against any violent encounters at the school. I was worried that all American schools had guns and gangs and other problems.

My teacher had assured me that not all of the schools were that way and now i was really in America. I had gone thur customs and was repacking my bag after the thorough check.

I walked to the main lobby and looked at my letter. Miss June would be here to pick me up and bring my host brother with her. I noticed a woman standign with a sign and I walked over to her.

"Excuse me, please. I am looking for Miss June from McKinley High School, could you be her? I am Mei Ling Xiong. My friends call me May."

I smiled at the young man with her as I was indeed hopeing that I had found the right people.

I looked at the girl walking towards us and assumed that this had to have been May, simply because she was Japanaese. As she approached Miss June and myself, I couldn't take my eyes off of her.

I had always been fascinated with Japanese culture and I definitely had always been fascinated with Japanese girls. May looked absolutely beautiful and I was simply in awe of her.

"Excuse me, please. I am looking for Miss June from McKinley High School, could you be her? I am Mei Ling Xiong. My friends call me May."

I wanted to say something to her, but I was too busy staring at her, as she looked to me and gave me a smile. I looked to Miss June, waiting for her to respond to the beautiful girl before us.

Mei Ling Xiong (May)

I smiled at the boy and looked at the woman.

"You are from McKinley? Are you Mark Carter?" I was shifting the weight from one leg to the other.

Before Miss June could say anything, May looked over to me.

"You are from McKinley? Are you Mark Carter?"

I looked at Miss June, then back to May, with a smile on my face.

"Yeah... Mark CAGE, from McKinley... it's a pleasure to meet you..."

Looking her right in the eyes, I extended my hand, knowing it wasn't the type of greeing that she was used to. However, I knew she'd have to learn and get used to it being as how she'd be living here for the next month.

I accepted his hand and shook it. It was different true but I was reminded that when in America do as Americans do.

"I have my bags here. I do not need to do anything else."
