You feel the cool air brush against the back of your neck while lying in bed, Your mind running ramped over the many different scenarios you've played over in your head about a dozen times now. In two days you were going to meet your closest and dearest friend, only that this will be the first time you will see each other in the real world. Prior to this, you've never actually met them in person, you have both been chatting online for as long as you can remember. After an hour of your nervous ramblings to yourself, you sit up in your bed and glance over to your trusty laptop which had some new notifications, they were just some messages to your said friend, she just sent you some casual hellos and the itinerary for your ticket, you had to leave tonight but it still wouldn't be a day until you get to meet her as the plane ride takes 20+ hours, god you weren't looking forward to that part of this trip but for her it is definitely worth it.
You decided now is a good time as ever to begin packing up your bags, you guys have thoroughly talked everything out and you guys will be living together for quite some time so you had a lot to go through. You had 4 different large suitcases lined up, along with 3 medium to small ones you are going to dread this tedious process but it's a must, you start out with your essentials, such as clothes, shoes, and stuff you really need. Eventually, after a few hours pass you are finally done with this devil of a chore, you sigh while whipping away few drops of sweat and fall backwards onto your comfy bed, oh how you'll miss her. Time seems to slip away from you while you lay there, your eyes fighting the urge to close and drift off into a deep sleep, you couldn't let that happen though, you snap back to reality and sit up suddenly mentally scolding yourself. You look over to your clock, dammit you think to yourself the time was already 7:30 p.m. you had to leave in 2 hours, you rushed to the bathroom to shower, shave and excreta. After you clumsily step outside of the shower (nearly tripping on the wet floor) you wrap one towel around your body and the other tangled in your hair to dry faster, you took this opportunity to brush your teeth and wash your face over the sink. After you finish up the necessities you take out your trusty blow-dryer and curling iron, you had to look good you wanted to impress her after all. After you did your hair in the cutest fashion possible you gave a quick twirl in the mirror to check it out, feeling happy with you styling you quickly grab your outfit you had planned for about a week now, you made sure to wash it was strawberry scented laundry detergent, after your undergarments, you first put on the white lacey and frilly skirt you got on sale, boy was that a lucky catch for you.
After that, you put on a pastel (Favorite Color) poofy top to match, as well as some white knee socks and just some pastel slip on's to complete the look. You turned and posed like a dork in the mirror before you added makeup as the final touch to your outfit, you weren't necessarily confident in yourself, I mean..you never were but you were hoping, and maybe expecting...some compliments from strangers with this get up on. You quickly look at the clock on your phone screen, and it was already time to go when everything was complete, your parents were out at the moment but you made sure to send them goodbyes before they left that day, cause you aren't really sure when the next time you will see them is. You grabbed the keys off of your nightstand along with a small handbag, your phone, i.d. and most importantly your passport. "Goodbye hoooooome!" you waved towards your house like a dumbass as you chucked your heavy luggage down the steps and into the back of your car rental. You wiped away some fake tears from your eyes and sighed, you'll miss this place...but not too much. You were extremely excited to be going all the way to Japan to meet and live with your best friend and couldn't really comprehend it was happening, you checked your clock again once more, it read 9:35 p.m. you really had to go now, you hopped into the driver side of the car and sped away from your childhood home. The closer you got to your local airport, the more nervous you became you were prepared maybe physically but mentally you were a wreck traveling to a place you've never been to meet someone you've been dying to for years now.
After about 20 minutes or so of driving you arrived there since you rented the car from the airport itself, you dropped it off at the car rental hub and left to your terminal, you were trembling...you've never even ridden on a plane before. Though you were nervous you were also excited to finally be there with her, you put on a faint smile double checking your ticket five million times, after you check in dropped off your luggage and got through security, you rushed to your gate and patiently sat there, to pass the time you decided to charge your phone, read a few articles and maybe play some games, as time passed it was near boarding you heard the loudspeaker suddenly go off and jumped a bit at the sudden voice beaming through them. The friendly flight attendant was just announcing that boarding would begin in about ten minutes and to gather up all your items beforehand, you sighed and double check over your tickets and bag, feeling extremely anxious about everything but before you knew it people were beginning to line up and were being boarded onto the plane you gathered up your carry-ons and head into the line as well, once you finally made it to your seat you were already plenty exhausted, but you couldn't sleep at a time like this, you were shaking in your seat nervously looking out the window with a worried expression, the man next to you took notice and poked your shoulder "are you alright miss? don't worry, it'll be fine." you awkwardly laughed and gave your half ass reply with a smile and flushed cheeks"a-ah I'm okay, I just uhmm, never have ridden on a plane before, hehh.."
When the plane took off you shut your eyes tight and waited to be high off the ground, after a while you thought the coast was clear and you slowly opened one of your eyes, but wow you had to admit it was an amazing sight, seeing all the clouds and land from above you were so fascinated with it, you almost lost your fear for a few moments. After the initial shock and excitement came the tedious flight time what you have been dreading the moment you bought this ticket, you sighed in slumped back into your chair thinking it was gonna be a long flight, but you were already tired prior to getting on. eventually, your eyelids lost the battle to the heavy sleep that fell over you and slept the remainder of the flight
