Chapter 3 Part 2:
I walked out as casually as I could muster. I smiled a huge smile, hoping that mom wouldn't freak out.
"I'm so sorry miss! I never meant to damage your outfit!"
"It's fine; this is just a silly accident." I hoped she would understand, smile and go off to do another job but she stayed there, still worried. I turned to start walking back to my seat. As I was walking I could see people glaring at me for making such a "commotion". I decided to ignore them but could feel mom and the attendant right on my heels. Trying to keep walking without looking like a bigger idiot, I just barely sped up until I reached my seat and sat down. I finally looked to see mom give me a worried but "are you crazy" glare. I just smiled reassurance and shrugged my shoulders telling her that I would tell her later. She relieved the attendant so she could go host someone else and turned to me.
"What was that all about?"
"I told you this is my favorite outfit and it shrinks easily when touched by liquids."
"Well at Forks maybe we'll buy you a waterproof outfit. On the plus side you're talking to me again." She said that while lightly nudged me with her elbow and I couldn't help but laugh.
"I wasn't planning to but it seems like you deserved an explanation. Now that I'm talking again I feel better. I'm surprised I lasted this long." It was true I felt like exploding when I gave her the silent treatment and besides I'm proud of myself. Two hours is a new record!
The rest of the trip wasn't bad. I started to talk to mom again, we watched a movie and the served us a real, edible coursed meal. Not those barely filling snacks even though I did get their plane cookies for dessert. Mom finally fell asleep so I took out my phone, put in the headphones and played the music until I drifted to sleep. I woke up to a dreamless sleep six hours later with the song "Heart's A Mess" by Katie Noonan. I stopped it once the intercom came on saying that we had five more hours until landing. I looked out the window to see that it was dark. What time was it? I decided to worry about that later and went back to sleep.
I woke up with it being pitch dark and the plane landing. I realized that mom shook me awake. Wiping my eyes I looked around to see everyone getting their suitcases. It's time to go?! I looked at my phone… 4:00 pm. Wow! I tried to do the math. We left at 5:00pm and it should now be 11:00am but is really 4:00pm yesterday here! Mind=blown! Sydney is 19 hours ahead! Wow, all that math totally woke me up. I get my stuff and we hop into a taxi. We are leaving the Forks airport and now heading to grandmother's house. Over the river and to the woods to grandmother's house we go!
