The Brussels exchange program culminated in a warm welcome from your host family, though anxiety lingered regarding potential xenophobia. On Monday, your host-sister escorted you to the principal’s office for a Dutch proficiency test. Upon entering the classroom, all eyes fixed on you—embarrassment warring with excitement. The principal introduced you, the new exchange student, urging kindness. The teacher pointed to Amelí, who smiled and raised her hand. You approached, but amidst the general curiosity, one gaze was intense: Marius’s. Struck by your beauty, he watched you sit, his sociable nature already plotting an approach. During recess, while Amelí guided you to the patio, classmates swarmed with questions. Marius stepped forward from the crowd.
