PART TWO


"We will now be boarding flight number 8047. This is the last call for flight number 8047, Unlimited Airlines.", the man at the front counter said, looking extremly irritated.
Keri, Darian, Helios, Rini, and I were rushing to the gate, mainly late because of all the bags Rini and I had to check in (So sue us. We packed alot of clothes...^_~). And the fact that our mothers were crying all over the place and calling us for one last good-bye for the next nine months that they wouldn't see us.
We rushed to the gate, got our tickets checked, and boarded the plane. It was a big plane, two seats, aisle, five seats, aisle then two more seats. We were in the five middle seats, front row. Keri sat in the first seat, Helios next, Rini, me, then Darian. The fight attendant went over the safety procedures and before you knew it, we were taxing down the runway and taking off.
About a half hour into the flight, Keri fell asleep. Since we had thirteen more hours left of the flight, I turned to face Rini. Instead I saw a chestnut brown ponytail with a light green ribbon around it. Okay, so she was talking to Helios. I turned to face Darian and he grinned at me.
"You wanna play crazy eights?", he asked, holding up a deck of playing cards.
"Sure. Helios and Rini seem to be engaged in some conversation about something.", I commented on, as I looked at my cards. 'I've got a great hand, three eights and a mix of the four suits. I wonder what Darian has?', I thought.
They played three games I won the first one, he won the other two.
"Hey, how much longer is the flight? And when do they serve lunch? I'm starving!", Rini said, poking my back, and smiling.
Laughing, I answered,"The flight: 11 and a half hours, the food: now. Okay?"
The flight's food wasn't the best, but it wasn't horrible(in my opinion, that is).
"Eewww!!!!! This stuff is so gross!! Yuck!! Look it just moved!!", Rini was saying, wrinkling up her nose in disgust. We all laughed and, for some odd reason, stopped eating the food. Keri had woke up for a few minutes to tell us that she didn't want anything to eat and don't wake her up, please. We agreed and shut up.

Look for Chapter 3.
