Come on...It's gotta be soon. If not in three minutes, less.

Five...four...three...
"Kay, are you OK?" Chris, whom sat oh-so-close beside me, asked.
"No..."
I could see from the corner of my eye the worried look he gave me. I smiled back and whispered in a low hushed way. "I'm going to Japan for the summer. Can you believe it? Three whole months out of this corn field!"
I could she his eyes ease up a bit, he must've thought I was dieing or something hehe. He smiled back. "Wow three months?"
"Yep, that's how long summer lasts." I said a bit sarcastic daze. Then realized the bell still hadn't rung. My head snapped back toward the clock. IT'S FROZEN?
"WHAT?" I shrieked silently. Chris looked over to where my shocked, angry, and all out upset face was pointed.
"Aw, Kay I'm sure life will unfreeze soon." He laughed at his little-idiotic-not-funny-to-any-one-'cept-him-joke
"Haha, so funny, my laugh wasn't audible."
He stayed silent and went back to Mr. Correl's lame pep talk about being safe for the summer. I, on the other hand, slumped down so I was literally falling off my chair pouting.
"So when you kids go and have your crazy summer, pay attention to what goes on around you...and don't forget to write that three page paper."
"WHAT?"
"Is something wrong Kaylee?"
BRIIIIING!
There was my escape, my freedom to head to the airport give them that little slip of paper and head to Japan in that little flying machine...but I was frozen to my chair.
"Hey Kay..." Chris waved his hand up and down in front of my face trying to snap me out of my shocked state.
"What happened?"
"You collapsed out of your chair when the teacher reminded us to write that essay."
"WHAT?" I flipped out again but this time Chris held me up to the chair so I wouldn't collapse again. When everything finally settled down he let go and stepped back a bit. "What happened to all my plans?" I asked under my breath, I couldn't believe what was happening to me. "My plans, my summer, my trip, my fun, my...OW!" I glared up towards the living-hair-pulling-monster. "What was that for Dana?"
"Quit you're moaping and get your butt out of my chair!"
"School's out for summer..." I said picking up my junk from under the desk, "Besides, it's my desk to."
"Not no more!" she smiled and pounded her two hands onto the desk, "School's out for summer!"
"Yeah, but I officially claim this desk for next year!" I said writing the official demand on a sticky note and placed it on Mr. C's desk. I then spun around and stuck my tongue out in victory.
"Don't you have a plane to catch?" Chris mentioned looking at his watch.
"What?" I heard Dana ask as I sprinted to my desk and shoved all my crap into one hand "What plane?"
"uh, didn't she tell you..."
"Chris...NO!" I was too late.
"She's going to Japan for the summer."
"WHAT?"
"Thanks..." I glared in his general direction. He threw his hands up and backed away a sorry manner.
"You mean to tell me you're ditching me for the entire summer to go to Japan...WITHOUT ME?"
"...no..."
"Oh, so Chris lied to me?"
"Kay?" Chris whined. I sent him a glare that showed he deserved it.
"Yep."
"CHRIS!"
"Bye!" I ran out the door with what i had and when i had the only escape I would have possibly gotten.
"Where are you going?" Dana's voice echoed through the large empty hall ways. I slammed against the doors and was half way out them as I yelled out, "JAPAN!"
Her shriek of anger echoed through the hallways and out to the parking lot where I unlocked my dads red mini-SUV and plopped in my seat.
"Time to go." I mumbled and turned the keys in the ignition.
VROOM
I'm finally on the plane, set to go, finally free to do my own thing for this summer and have the time of my {hopefully} long lived life. Then why, I wonder, do I feel a death glare from behind me? Curious, I sat up feeling the glare follow, and tilted my head towards the window far enough to give me a glance at the reflection of the person behind me.
Why me?
"DANA!" Nothing was said, she just stood there and glared at me some more. My eyes shifted over to the seat next to her, "and Chris?"
"Hey..."
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HE-"
"Excuse me miss, I'm going to have to ask you to keep it down." The stewardess hissed at me pointing to several other passengers giving me the same death glare that my friend was giving to me.
As the she walked off my head spun around to the two sitting behind me as I proceeded to hiss "What are you doing here?"
"Bought a ticket and now we're going to Japan too I guess..." Chris said glancing to Dana that has taken the vow of silence against me.
"But why?" I proceeded to scoot back a seat offering the older couple getting on the plane to take mine, "Tickets are way too expensive for you two to buy them last min-" I looked over towards Dana who was now gleaming with a joy that could very well be the essence pure evil. I then looked at Chris who was looking down at the floor. "she didn't..."
Chris nodded sadly.
"Chris, your parents are going to kill you!" He nodded again.
For those who are confused, lets just say Chris had the largest college account then anyone needed, more then he needed to get into the college of his choice. Notice the past tense on the last statement. He probably has just enough to survive at a state university instead of a private collage that only the richest of the rich go to.
As the time went on the plane went quiet from peoples snores, iPods and of course certain vows of silence for no particular reason (other then, you know, ditching her to go to japan for the summer). Dana ended up bringing a large carry on full of manga which she was now reading in her little, self built cubbyhole, Chris was watching a movie on his iPod that he graciously shared a head-bud with me, but i soon lost interest in the Scifi-ness of it. For the most part, it was a peaceful ride, you know, until the oxygen masks fell from the ceiling and the pilot came on the speakers telling us we were loosing altitude.
"I THOUGHT THIS ONLY HAPPENED IN MOVIES MAMA!" a boy behind us was clutching onto his mother bawling. "This is a movie isn't it?"
hahaI gave a worried look to Chris and without thinking I grabbed on to his arm and buried my face into his shoulder and silently cried out for help. He grabbed my shoulders and held me there. It became extremely awkward, as Dana so proudly announced to the entire plane.
The screams continued and the plane fell lower and lower. I don't remember much after that, I know that the screams faded and that it became kind of cold.
Then black.

I woke up in the middle of a woods type place. I got up slowly to look around. The air was cold and the place was all trees for as far as I could see. "Chris? What's going o-" I turned around to see that no one was there. "Chris? Dana?" I was just glued to Chris's arm...he couldn't have gone that far without me...and Dana was right next to us... "GUYS THIS IS NOT FUNNY!"
"Who the hell is making all that damn racket?" I perked up from the unfamiliar voice, "Who ever the - is needs to shut the hell up!" the figure walked into the light where I could see him better. His slicked back silver hair and his purple eyes were the first thing i noticed. He just stood there glaring at me then looked at me in a funny manner. "Who the hell are you? Kinda funny looking..."
"W-what?"
