Jen rushed around, trying to get all of her things together. "Genevieve Marie Sayen calm down!" Mrs. Sayen laughed. "Maman! I'm trying to get my things ready for college!" She yelled. "Well, then, don't let me stop you!" Mrs. S cried. "I wasn't Maman!" Jen ground out. "Where is Zach? He is driving me." Jen was stressed. "He should be inside, chérie!" Mellisande Sayen replied to her 18 year old daughter. She was moving to America for her freshman year in college, and would be staying with a nice family in Arizona. The Sayens had been speaking as much English as possible for the past four months. "Maman, Papa, soeur, I shall miss you all! Je t'aime!" Genevieve cried as she got into her best friend Zach's car. They were both moving to Arizona, him for good, however.

JEN POV

"Zachary, sois sage! Toi devoir pas avoir tellement agaçant!" I laughed as I told my friend, 'Zachary, behave yourself! You must not be so annoying!' I sighed as we pulled up at the airport. "D'identité, si vous plait" A man said 'identification, please' as we boarded the plane. "Non, exceptionnel passager!" Zach cried 'No, exceptional passengers'. The man shook his head. "Je devoir voir d'identité, mademoiselle plus missoir!" The man growled. (I must see identification, ms and Mr.!) I stopped Zach and gave the man my student I.D. "Oui, tu puet-être laissez-passer!" The man grinned as we passed. (Yes, you may pass!") I nodded to the man and took my seat. Hours later, a woman greeted us in English. "Welcome, are you the French exchange students on the plane, today?" She asked. I nodded nervously. "Oui, I mean, yes! I am Genevieve, this is Zachary. Are the Martinez's here?" I asked the lady. "No, miss, the plane will be landing in two minutes, so please fasten your seatbelts!" She cried cheerily. I rolled my eyes and nudged Zach awake. I whispered the lady's directions to him in French, for he had not taken the time to learn much English.

"Zachary, you must stay with me!" I told him as we left the plane. I saw a couple holding up a sign reading "Zachary Gilles" "look, Zachary!" I pointed to the couple. "Bonjour, Mme, M. This is Zachary. He does not know a lot of English, but knows a bit. I have a list of the English words he does know. Here it is… I hope you enjoy Zachary's company!" I began to walk away when the couple stopped me. "And, um, who are you Miss? Are you his social worker?" The woman asked. I laughed. "Non, Madame! Je m'appelle Genevieve Sayen! Je nous ses ami!"I told them instinctively. "Je regrette, sorry, I am Genevieve Sayen, Zachary's friend from France. I am living here in Arizona with a nice family for my freshman year of college!" I said slowly. They smiled and nodded. "It was nice meeting you, Genevieve!" They said as they walked away. I was alone in the airport except for a smoking hot guy around my age looking around. He spotted me and began to walk towards me. "Are you Ms. Sayen?" He asked. "Yes, I'm Jen." I shook his hand. "I'm Nick, Nick Martinez. You'll be staying with my Mom, Dad, and two siblings this year. Want me to carry that?" He asked, referring to my suitcase. I smiled. "Sure!" I breathed and walked behind him, staring back into the dark hallway.
