1. The Flight
Joan's POV
I will admit, when God first 'asked' me to go to Massachesetts for spring break, I thought He was delirious. When He told me to make sure Luke, Adam and Grace went with me, I though He had lost it. There was no way mom and dad would let us go to Massachusetts, and there was no way Adam and Grace would go along with it. Or, at least, that's what I though until chemestry last week. That's when Ms. Lischak announced the spring break trip to Massachusetts, and asked if anyone wanted a fourm. I didn't even need to convince Luke, he was all for it. And the amazing part? Grace and Adam were a lot easier to convince than I thought they would be. So that's how we got to where we are now...
"God Girardi! We're going for one week, not a year!" Grace yelled as Joan continued shoving more clothing into her suitcase.
"I know, but we're going for a week, not a day," Joan said, pointing to Grace's backpack. Grace rolled her eyes as Joan walked over to her closet. "Ugh! I have nothing to wear.."
"Stop being such a drama queen. We're gonna be late," Grace told her.
"No we aren't." The door to Joan's room flung opened and Luke stepped in.
"Guys, we're going to be late," he said. Grace smirked at Joan.
"Shut up," Joan told her.
"Adam's downstairs, the plane leaves in an hour, it takes fifteen minutes to get there. Come on," Luke told them. Joan picked up her suitcase.
"Okay, I'm ready," she said, walking out of her room and heading downstairs, Luke and Grace following.
"Ready?" Will asked them as they entered the living room. The four teenagers exchanged looks.
"Yeah," Joan said. "Mom! We're going!" she yelled. Helen entered the room and hugged her daughter and son.
"Have fun," she told them.They said their goodbyes, and walked outside. Will opened the trunk and loaded in the bags, then got in the drivers seat. Joan climbed into the passangers side, and Adam, Grace and Luke squeezed into the back seat. They reached the airport fifteen minutes later, just as Luke had said, said goodbye to Will and entered the airport, looking for the rest of the people going on the trip.
"Look, there's Lischak," Joan pointed out. They headed over to the gate where Ms. Lischak and six other students were waiting. Ms. Lischak spotted them and clapped her hands together.
"Okay, everyone is here and accounted for! We've got 55 minutes before the plane leaves, don't stray too far, it's a big airport." Ms. Lishak then went off to talk to a student. Joan dropped her suitcase and sunk down in a chair, a red haired girl taking the seat next to her.
"Hey. Heading for Massachusetts?" she asked. Joan nodded.
"You?"
"Yeah. I'm Madison Kaulfeld."
"Joan Girardi."
"Nice to meet you Joan. So.. Who are you rooming with?" Madison asked. Joan pointed to where Grace and Luke were standing, fighting over God knows what. "I haven't ment one of my roomates yet. One of them is Glynis Figliola, the other's Iris something. Oh, I think that's her." Madison pointed to a dark haired girl talking to Adam. She laughed and playfully hit his shoulder. A bag dropped next to Joan's and Luke took the seat on her other side.
"A week with Freidman. I have to spend a week in the same room with Freidman. Why did I sign up for this trip?" Luke asked.
"Because you're a science nerd. It's a science trip. They go together," Joan told her brother.
"We aren't even on the plane yet and I can already tell this is going to be a long week..." Luke said. If only he knew how right he was..
