Outside the airport was mad. People were rushing to get from one area to another. But in all the chaos, I saw two people who looked completely calm. Bex's parents were standing in the middle of it all with nothing but grins on both of their caramel tinted faces. When Bex saw them she went into a sprint and jumped right into her father's arms. I forget how lucky I truly am to have my mother with me at school year round. When I caught up with Bex, her and her family had already said their hellos and had their happy reunion.
"Mum, Dad. You remember Cammie don't you?" Her mother looked at me and smiled.
"Ofcourse darling," she opened up her arms, "get over here." I hugged Mrs. Baxter.
"Nice to see you again." I , I turned to Mr. Baxter. He was looking at me as if he had seen a ghost. It was really making me uncomfortable and I started to think of how twelve hours ago, Bex had woken up looking, well, a mess. I started to fiddle with my hair until he finally said,
"I forgot how much you looked like your dad." Then he walked over and embraced me in a hug.
We walked outside and found our way into a limo. When I saw it Bex leaned over and whispered,
"The best part about London is all of our workers have level four clearence, so as long as they are our personal staff, we're free to discuss anything we want." I smiled because that sounded so much better then sitting in the middle of Nebraska bored out of my mind while my grandma asks me about our curriculum. You know, the one that the public is allowed to know about.
"So, what are your big plans for today?" Mrs. Baxter asks us.
"Oh you know just some sight seeing" Bex replied. And I stopped walking.
"Don't worry darling, Bex's idea of sight seeing is just shopping." her mother laughed. I joined her nervously. Wow, I really should cool it unless I want to explain my dream to Bex.
When we were safely inside the limo, Mr. Baxter turned to Bex and I.
"So, there was no trouble getting here was there?" Normally when a parent asks a teenager this its taken as, Did you find the plane? or Did your luggage get lost? or Were you late? But we're not just normal teenagers, and now I was in the most danger of my life. So very calmly and surely Bex replied
"Yes sir. No problems at all." she said. Then he turned to me
"Good, now hopefully it will stay that way for your time remaining here." he lifted his hand and squeezed my chin.
"Yeah let's hope" I said. Call me crazy, on the inside I kind of wanted something to go wrong. Because for some reason that's the only time Zachary Goode shows up in my life. But I kept those feelings to myself and allowed Bex to catch up with her parents for the remainder of the ride home.
