She made a soft moan as she could hear her name faintly across her room , she chewed her mouth and groaned as the voice calling her name kept getting close
"Let me sleep" she said softly still closing her eyes firmly
"ALEXANDRA!"
The voice made her stand up sharply and angrily "MOM!". Alexandra yelled, her hair looking rough and her mom could see how unkept her room was.
" your flight leaves in an hour!" Her mom yelled back,
"Oh my!" She jumped up as she raced into her bathroom "why didn't you wake me up" Alexandra yelled as she opened the shower.
Ms. Johnson is a middle aged woman, she takes both her job and children seriously,ever since Mr Johnson(Alexandra's Dad) left them to be with another woman, she has been trying her best to make her self and her children have a good life.
Ms. Johnson helped Alex pack her headphones and other things she would need in her backpack "Did you even get some sleep? I told you lights out by 11 so you can get good sleep and wake up early" Ms. Johnson said
She could see Alex running out of the shower "I think so" Alexandra said trying to put on her new skinny jeans she had kept separately in her wardrobe
"Oh my lord! Just hurry up" her mom said pulling out her bags. With excitement and eagerness, Alex hurried out of her room and joined her mom in the car
"The important school files?" Ms. Johnson asked
"All in the bag ready!" .Alexandra said half smiling as she checked her wrist watch "20 more minutes, hurry up mom!" Alex said as her heart beat faster. She thought about how she was going to leave her only best friend (Justina) and her life in Houston
She sighed as her mom drove off, she packed her blonde hair up, Alex looked almost like her mom but her mom always says she got her dad's nose. "The month is gonna be so exciting to me" she had thought ,she had gotten admission into her dream university (Hanyang university) and her 21st birthday was coming up soon
They arrived at the airport as Ms. Johnson and her Alex took out the bags and hurried out of the car, they made their way into the airport
"We are right on time" Ms. Johnson sighed ,they could see people going in already.
"Be a good girl there and I'm gonna tell Kate you are on your way to Seoul already" Ms. Johnson said..
Kate is Ms. Johnson's first child, she was 8 when Mr Johnson left home and Alex was 4 so she didn't really know her dad, Kate left to South Korea when she was 19 for college ,she finished college 2 years ago and already found a job in Seoul
"Mom! I'm gonna be fine! I have to go" Alexandra said as she hugged her mom "I love you" Alex said softly
"Awe my baby! I love you too" Ms. Johnson said as she controlled her tears from dropping, her two children were gonna be away from her.
Alexandra sat down inside the plane as she sighed deeply, she was going to miss her mom so much, she wished she could see her one more time before the plane will take off.
"What are you doing Alex, you are a big girl, you gonna be fine", Alex muttered to herself as she looked out the window
"I'm not gonna be fine" she said as she groaned frustratedly. She had never been away from her mom till that day.
"Get hold of yourself cry baby, you will be fine" she added as she tried to calm herself down, she noticed an old woman sitting next to her staring, Alex looked away shyly and realized she had been talking out loud all along.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Incheon International Airport, the local time is 10:20pm and the temperature is 16 degree C".
Alexandra took her bag and walked out of the the plane, she could see the airport, a very big beautiful airport. She smiled as she reached out for her phone,she was dialing her sister's number when suddenly someone jumped out and startled her
Alexandra almost tripped, her phone fell as her sister hugged her
"Oh my! Kate! Kate it is you" she hugged her sister tightly. Kate stopped hugging her and looked at her with a big smile on her face. Kate looked more like Alex but with a long black hair just like her dad.
" you are as tall as me now! I didn't know it was you at first" Kate said half panting
"It is me!" Alex said happily as she jumped at Kate again "I miss you so much". They hugged for a while, "come on let's go" Kate said helping Alexandra with her bags
They headed out of the airport, Alexandra could not believe she was in Korea, she had cried when Kate was leaving and had also wanted to come to Korea but her mom (Ms. Johnson) had told her that she would also be going to Korea for college .
"Finally! After so many years" Alex said happily
"I know right!" Kate smiled excitedly, they both got to the car "is this your car?" Alex said checking the car out
"A Toyota Corolla?" Alexandra said as Kate helped her put the bags into the car " yes of course" she laughed softly.. "Awe my sister is now a big girl" Alexandra gave out a loud chuckle
"Ewwww! I'm not a girl, I'm a pretty young lady". Kate said sharply as they got in the car.
"No doubt" Alex replied. Kate drove away, Alexandra won't stop asking questions about everything, she was too excited and wanted to hear things about Korea.
They both laughed as Kate drove into her garage. "Here we are" Kate said pulling out her car keys, Alex got down looking around
"Everything is different and beautiful" she said out excitedly, she could see a man and his son in the next apartment also coming out of the car
"Anyoung!" (Means Hello! In English) Alexandra said smiling , the man smiled back
"Geos-eun naega dangsin-i mi gugeoseoogo issdago malhan nae dongsaeng ibnida" (this is my sister I told you was coming from the states") Kate said to the man
"Oh! Hello welcome to Korea" the man said looking at Alex who looked at Kate surprisingly. " what did you tell him, oh my! That was lit, I want to learn to" Alexandra said excitedly
"Yes I am happy to be here" Alex replied smiling to the man
"Yeppeun agassiege insa" ( say hello to the pretty lady) the man said to his little son
"HELLO" the boy waved at Alexandra who waved back at him " so cute " she said
They both went in as Alexandra kept asking what she told the man in Korean. "I said you are my sister from the states" Kate replied as she put on the lights
"JESUS CHRIST! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" Kate said shockingly
