Summer Dreams.
Chapter 2 farewell, Paris!
"Hurry up, Roxy!" Xion yelled back at me as the two of us ran through campus. We both woke up late this morning; thank god we packed our belongings the night before or we might've missed our flight…. We might still miss it though. I followed the black haired girl until she came to a halt, Twilight star boarding academy for the gifted behind us. "Do you think we have time to make it?" I asked her in between breaths. "As long as we hurry, yes." She quickly said to me. "c'mon, Rox!" She panted as she darted across the street and into the heart of London.
We only had ten minutes before the plane took off after Xion finally managed to hale a taxi to take us to the airport. With our suitcases in our hands and a rucksack on each of our backs, we scrambled into the airport, both of us panting again. "Where's the flight entrance?" She asked me worriedly. "I d-don't know!" I exclaimed. My blue eyes traveled over at the clock. Only five minutes! "What's the flight number, Xi?!" I said to her quickly, looking quickly around the bottom level of the airport lobby. "N-Number fourteen I believe." She whimpered, tears swimming in the rims of her eyes.
"Upstairs quick!" I shouted when I bolted up the staircase on the second level. I heard Xion's footsteps fall behind me. Somewhere in the distance, I heard an announcement. "Last call for flight fourteen." The female voice said, I'm guessing a flight attendant. 'Shit!' I thought, biting my lip. I ran up the third staircase; up to the next level where I was hoping our flight would be located.
A small gasp escaped me , a flight attendant was starting to close the gate at the fourteenth flight. I felt Xion brush against me as she ran swiftly towards the gate, me close behind her. The woman's brown hair was pulled up in a small tight bun; her brown eyes kind.' She reminds me of Emerson a lot…..' I thought, starting to miss him already, as Xion handed her our tickets. Xion walked in through the gate, her school girl shoes, she packed all her other shoes so she just wore them for now, clicking as she walked. I quickly followed her as we made our way into the front of the plane, into the first class compartment.
We took our seats. Xion sat closest to the isle as always. My eyes drifted towards the window as the plane started to take off. Xion and I turned off our cell phones, her head gently bobbing to the music playing the distance. "Only like seven more hours to go." Xion said to me, her signature smirk etched on her pale face. "I can't wait to see everyone." I breathed, my eyes locked out the window as the plane took towards the air like a bird.
"Yeah, same. " She replied. "Like Demy and Zala… and your probably excited to see Axe huh?" I felt my cheeks flush with embarrassment . "….Yeah I guess.." I murmured, hiding my face with my straightened blonde hair. Xion couldn't help but let a giggle escape her. "You really should tell him you know?" She said. I tried to think of a comeback, but she didn't wait before continuing. "It's almost like you're playing a game of cat and mouse; sending him mixed signals 24-7." She concluded, crossing her arms over her chest, her blue eyes piercing into the back off my head.
"Didn't you say you were going to work on your summer easy during the flight?" I questioned her through clenched teeth. Xion just strugged, reaching in her soft lavender bag and pulling out some stationary and a quill with ink. Yeah okay… it might seem weird, but that's what they make us write with at school. "You should just think about it… that's all." She said and finally falling silent. This was going to be a long plane ride.
