Chapter One

Maz's POV

Well I'm Marianna. Maz is what you can call me. I'm just another person in the world who is completely different to others. One reason would be is that im 15 and travelling the world, which includes only one country being an exchange student, without my parents and siblings. My parents trust me enough. I've never been one of those rowdy teenagers that start having a drink at 13, or had fights with people, or hooking up with every guy I meet. But don't get me wrong, I'm still really fun. Unique is what I like to call it.

3 countries down, 6 more to go. I get on my 3am flight to America, my exchange student country. Well not really, my parents thought it would be better if I had a family to stay with while I was there. Mainly because it's a big country and they've heard things about the place. It's a really nice plane. Mum let me pick 3 flights I could go first class with. This was one of them. I gave them my boarding pass and was directed by a flight hostess called "Laura". She would attend to me during the flight. My first class cabin was amazing. After settling in my cabin the pilots voice came over the speaker saying the plane was about to take off. I fastened my seat belt, and got ready for take off. Soon after that,the plane took off. I thought of the family I was staying with. All I got were the names of the adults. Denise and Paul. That rung a bell. I just couldn't put my finger on where I had heard those names.

After a 15hour flight, I finally reached America. I was so excited. All I hoped was that I wasn't stuck with some phsyco or overly protective family.

I went through customs, got my luggage and walked into the area wherre Iwaited to be picked up. After 25 minutes of sitting, eating aeroplane cashews and exchanging money, I heard someone calling out my name. I looked around to find some man with glasses and his wife walking towards me. They must be my exchange parents. I got up off the seat and walked over with all my things.

They looked so familiar, but why?
