~Exchange Student~

    Ten minutes. Just ten more minutes and you’re free. Keep hoping the teacher doesn’t call on you... That’s right... There are 1 in 30 chances to go to the blackboard. Maybe today is your lucky day. Maybe…

    “Miss [L/N], would you be kind and come to the blackboard to show us the solving of problem number 5?” the teacher called on you, breaking the chain of your thoughts. Yeah, maybe it wasn’t that of a lucky day.

    “Sure, sir.” Stepped forward with the book in your hand, reading the problem in your head, not really sure how you should solve it. First things first, you grabbed a piece of chalk to write the given information on the blackboard, such as the speed, distance and acceleration of the vehicles. So far so good. Now what? “First of all we should…” you started, only to be cut off by the student who entered the classroom.

    “Excuse me for interrupting the hour, sir. May I make an announcement?” the teacher nodded and the girl continued. “[F/N L/N] and [Friend/N] are called to the principal’s office right now.” Your professor looked when at you, when at your friend, and signaled that you were free to go.

    Saved by the bell, you could say. As soon as you grabbed your stuff, you went out with your friend and walked together to the principal’s office, questioning the reason of the calling. When you arrived, some other students were already there, one by one going in and out of the office, as soon as their names were called. You didn’t have to wait much until your turn came. Since there have been so many other pupils, it couldn’t be wrong, right?

    The small office room welcomed you with a pleasant smell of roses and a nice sight of the wonderful paintings hung on the walls. It was the first when you were called to the headmaster. You weren’t expecting to feel so calm when entering the room. Maybe it was the nice shade of lavender the walls were painted in, or the large bookshelves full of interesting books. The principal smiled warmly and showed you to sit down, so you did.

    “Darling, you might be wondering why you’re here. I believe you still remember the forms for the exchange program you and other fellow students have signed.” Oh, how could have you forgotten! Two weeks ago you found about this awesome exchange program, in which you got to be the host for a pupil from another country for a week, and in return you would go to their place for a week. You found the idea really interesting, so you convinced your parents into signing you up. “We have received all the information you’d be needing about the person you’ll be paired with for the exchange. And, I know it’s out of the blue, but their flight should arrive tomorrow at 4:00 PM, if I remember well.” She handed you some files which included general dates about your new partner, as well as some details about their arrival from tomorrow. After some more instructing from your principal, you left her office.



    There you were with your parents, watching the people getting off, wondering who could possibly be your partner. You were so excited you could barely hold the welcoming card your parents made so it would be easier for the student to spot you. Suddenly, you observed someone slowly approaching you, carrying a stroller with them.

    “Hello, I believe you must be [Y/N] from the exchange program. I am…”
