After receiving the letter of acceptance from the school, Anzhelika packed her bags and headed off, leaving her home in Moscow for a new style of life. The flight to get to the school was rather long, almost taking 10 hours and a few breaks in between. Earlier Anzhelika had said goodbye to her mother, and the woman waved back, almost glad that she didn't have to deal with another living being.

The Russian girl was practically worn out but managed to stay awake. She tugged at her luggage and got off of the plane, her eyes being immersed in a different light. "This is... America?" Anzhelika murmured in her thick accent as she was escorted out by a lean man in a suit. He didn't converse with her, nor did he want to at the moment. The two silently walked out to a black Sedan. The man took her luggage and placed it in the trunk of the car, and once he finished, he opened the back door for her and gestured her to climb inside. This caused Anzhelika to be somewhat flattered at his hospitality towards her, though she ended up realizing that it was protocol. She watched as he closed the door and walked around to get into the drivers side, thus beginning another long ride to the school.

Anzhelika placed her hands on her lap and clasped her hands together, letting out a small sigh as she stared out the window. America wasn't as impressive as she thought it was, it was like Russia though the only difference was that they spoke English and the streets were much more... Disorderly. She squinted as she tried to decipher the text on the billboards that hovered beside buildings, most promoting fast food or beauty care products. "How much do Americans consume?" The girl turned her head towards the driver, hoping he would speak to her during the ride.
"Consume what?" He finally spoke up after a minute or two.
"Food." Anzhelika replied, a curious glint in her eyes as she leaned back in her seat.
"A lot." He simply stated, "I'm not supposed to talk to you."
"Why not?"
"Protocol."
That word again. The two simply left it at that. Anzhelika stared back out the window waiting for the time to pass, she was close to falling asleep but managed to stay awake during the duration of the ride.

"We're here." The man slowly stopped the vehicle and got out, he went to pull out her luggage before letting her out of the car. "Welcome to the Academy." He said as Anzhelika got out and placed her hand on the handle of her suitcase. It appeared as though other students came here before her, so she walked up to them, giving them a slight wave and a 'Hello'.
