Exchange Fantasy


Last year I asked my parents in February if I could go to the USA to study English. They asked me where I wanted to go and I decided to go to Tampa Bay, explaining that it's a nice city and not as big as New York City. But, I had other reasons why I really wanted to go to Tampa Bay, I saw Nick's house in a magazine and thought that if I could go to Tampa, then I could find his house.

In the middle of June I was ecstatic because I was on my way to Tampa. When I arrived in Tampa, I couldn't believe that I was actually in the States. I grabbed my luggage and was looking for my host family when a woman with blonde hair asked me if I was Judit. I said, "yes," and then she said, "Hello, my name is Jane, pleased to meet you." I said hello and in the car I was thinking that she looked like Jane Carter, but the last photo I saw of Jane Carter, she had dark hair.

When we arrived at home Jane introduced me to the rest of the family. When I saw who the family was, I didn't have any doubts because the family members were Robert, BJ, Leslie, Aaron and Angel. I didn't say anything because I didn't see Nick, so I just went to my room.

My room was on the first floor and after I put my clothes away I was on my way upstairs to give Jane some presents when I almost fell down. I saw Aaron playing with the Street Sharks, but that wasn't the reason, it was because in front of Aaron there was a boy with blonde hair, I didn't see his face, but I knew it was Nick Carter!! Aaron said, "Hi, Judit, are you ok?" and Nick moved his head and looked at me. I didn't know what to say, my knees went weak, I was too nervous to speak. I went looking for Jane and when she saw me, she said that she had to introduce me to another son. Jane said,"Nick, this is Judit and she's visiting from Spain to learn English." I was looking ground, I didn't know if I was red, but then again I'm a shy person, especially if someone is looking at me. Nick said, "Hello, I hope you llike Tampa," and shook my hand. I replied "Pleased to meet you Nick," and went to watch tv with Aaron.

Everyday I went with Jane and her family to visit Tampa and other cities. Nick and I became fast friends and I was so happy. The first week of July Nick tried to teach me how to scuba dive because I can't scuba dive until I'm 18 in Spain. When we came home one day, Nick was in the shower and there was a knock on the door and I opened it. When I opened it I almost fainted because AJ, Brian, Howie and Kevin were there. This was such a big surprise for me!

I went with them on their tour for two weeks and the next thing I knew I was in the airport crying because I had to go back to Spain. I didn't want to go to Spain, I woke up......

OH NO!!! It was a dream, just a dream! I cried, I was never in the States, I never went to a BSB concert because the concerts are far away from my city. Sometimes dreams are better than the reality, though. So Jane, if one day you want to have a student in your house write to me!!
