Intro
It's finally here. I watched the royal blue graduation caps fly in the air and come back down. Finally, something amazing is about to happen. I have been waiting for five years for this.
"Girl, I am going to miss you so much. Video chat, every other day. Promise me that, please," Alice, my best friend in this wonderful world, pleaded in my ear.
"Oh, you know I couldn't go a week without hearing your voice, let alone a whole summer," I hugged her with all my strength.
Suddenly, someone screamed, "Group hug!" and I was surrounded.
"Anna, you better have fun traveling this summer! 'Cause you are never leaving my sight again after this," Emmett instructed me.
I just shrugged and gave him a big hug. Honestly, I couldn't wait to get out of this small town. By tomorrow though, I won't have to wait any longer. My plane for Maine took off tonight at midnight.
"Bye! I love you guys!" I yelled as I was getting on my plane.
They all waved and blew kisses back at me. Alice and my mother both had tears running down their faces, while Emmett, my kid brother, and my daddy pretended to be tough. I could see the love in their eyes though.
Almost as soon as I was settled in the coach section, I was out cold. The nervousness of graduation and my leaving made it hard to sleep the night before.
"If everyone could buckle their seatbelts, we will be landing in five minutes at the Augusta, Maine airport. Thank you."
It would be a lie if I said I didn't give out the most childish squeal ever. My dream of traveling the world was finally coming true!
