Amusement Park 2

Waiting for the Plane

"Are you awake, Jamie?" Catie asked.

Jamie yawned. "It's only eight in the morning, and I've been up since six thirty. Give me a break."

"You want some coffee?" Catie asked, yawning herself. "I think I could use some." They got up and went to the concession stand near their gate, and got two cups of coffee. Jamie's was black, and Catie's had cream and a little sugar.

"So, Catie, how do you feel about hanging out with a bunch of overachievers for a week." Jamie asked, leaning against the counter.

"Well, you do it every day, so I suppose I can live for a week, besides, you will be there, so they can't rub off on me too much." Catie smiled at Jamie, and he knew they were all going to have a great time.

"So, Nick, are you a coaster person, or do you like to stick with the baby rides?" Brooke challenged her friend.

"I'm up for anything you are. I wouldn't want to make you go on anything you were afraid of, though." He grinned at her. She punched him playfully on the arm. "Whatever."

"No, but seriously, I can't wait. Have you ever been to Disney?" Nick asked.

"No, and I can't wait. I bought this book, and it tells you about all the rides in each park. You want to look through it, and pick which rides we want to go on?"

"Brooke, Brooke, Brooke, always the organized one."

Meanwhile, Val sat nervously beside Tyler. It must have been obvious because Tyler asked, "What's wrong, Val?"

"Nothing, I'm fine." She said. She was kind of embarrassed to be nervous.

"Val, you're wringing your hands and fidgeting. You only do that when you're nervous." He smiled, then he added more softly. "What's wrong? Have you ever flown before?"


Val shook her head. "It's kind of embarrassing, I mean, even Brooke's flown before. I'm excited and all, but a little nervous, not scared-nervous, more excited-I-can't-wait-but-it's-something-I've-never-done-before-nervous and –"

Tyler cut her off. "You also ramble when you're nervous."

She blushed. "You can read me."

"Like a book," he agreed. "When you've been friends this long, and spend as much time together as we do, you learn to read people. I know you can do the same."

"Yeah," Val agreed.

He startled her by taking her hand. She looked up, slightly startled. He smiled and said, "It's time to board." He helped her up, but didn't let go of her hand and together they waked onto the plane and found their seats.

Sorry if this part is a little short, but I'm trying to post this as I write it. I hope you like it. Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated. In other words, REVIEW! Thanks for reading! ScarletCord
