Interesting. I have another chapter. uh... I was going
to make it longer, but oh well. Here it is:
Chapter Two
Back to the Future (it will be considered the present for the rest of the story)
Mia was washing her dish as Alex walked in. He sat down at the table and started to leaf through a magazine. Mia looked at him and remembered the first day she meet him.
-Two Years Ago-
Mia got on the plane with out anyone noticing here. Because it was only 8 in the morning, no one would know that she was gone, she had arranged her day ahead of time so she wouldn't get up until 8:30, trying to buy herself some more time.
Mia sat in her seat, hoping that someone nice would be sitting next to her. It had been along time since she had flown on a public plane, let alone in coach. She didn't want to be stuck sitting next to a loud, smelly, fat person. Mia watched the people walking down the aisles, putting their stuff in the over head compartments. A young man, he looked to around 22 caught Mia's eye. He smiled at her and tossed his back pack in to the compartment above Mia.
"Do you speak English?" he asked her as he sat down next to her.
"Yes," Mia looked at the guy next to her. He had floppy blond hair and green eyes. He had a vintage Franz Ferdinand that looked like it had seen better days. Mia tried to smell him discreetly. He smelt of soap. His hair and smell reminded her of someone, but she couldn't think who.
"Good, I was afraid that I would be stuck sitting next to someone who didn't. I may of been in Europe for the last 6 months, but that doesn't mean I speak the lingo. I don't know how I got by... I hope you don't mind if I talk a lot. These new high speed planes freak me out. I mean it does only take 5 hours to get to the west coast on them, and all flights direct, but I still miss the old planes. I liked stopping in all the airport, even if it did mean you had to travel for a day. My name's Alex, by the way," Alex stuck out his hand for Mia to shake.
"Jenna," Mia lied. If it were anyone else she would of been annoyed by the talking. For some reason she didn't mind Alex telling her about how he lost his first tooth, he voice seemed to calm her, she wasn't so worried about getting caught.
"Where are you from?" Alex asked her.
"I grew up in New York, but after high school I moved to France. I'm going to find a place to stay in Seattle, or near by now. I might go and work for Greenpeace," Mia realized that she really hadn't thought her escape out too well. But she had had to get away, and quick.
"Ah, yeah, France is cool. I liked Europe, but my visa ran out and so I have to come home. I really enjoyed backpacking around. Genovia was my favorite country, it was small, but very beautiful. Did you ever go, there its real close to France?" Mia blushed when he mentioned her country.
"I never got to go there, I was in the north." It's a good thing he doesn't know about my nostrils, the amount I'm lying, Mia thought.
The rest of the plane went on with Alex telling Mia about growing up in Alaska, and how he ended up near Seattle. He was a great story teller and Mia was captivated by him. She was glad that he didn't ask her too much about her life. She said that she had never been to the West Coast and that she didn't know any one there. Alex said that he had lived in Massachusetts for a little, but missed the laid back life style of the west too much. Mia was looking forward to living there, from his stories.
When the pilot announced that they would be landing in 20 minutes she wished that she was on a old plane too. She wasn't looking forward to leaving Alex.
"I know we just meet, and we don't really know each other," he laughed, he had a very nice laugh, "well, you know all about me. But would you like to come stay at the commune that I live at? About six others live there, and random people are always showing up. Mind you, it is in the woods and there is only solar power, and that is only in the common space, really. Everyone lives in cabins, so it is kind of roughing it."
To Mia it sounded like heaven. After living in the palace for so long, being waited on hand and foot, she wanted a change. Even though she had never really been camping and had lived in cities for most her live, it would be good for her she thought.
"That would be great," Mia said as the plane touched down.
"Alright then. Well all my stuff is in my backpack," Alex said as he grabbed it from the compartment. "Do you need to get any bags?"
"No, this is all I have," Mia said, picking up her small bag that held one change of clothes.
"Cool, traveling light." Alex smiled at her. I never would of agreed to off with some stranger a little while ago. Grandmere would be horrified. No, I can't think of her. Anyway, I fell like I all ready know him some how... Mia smiled to her self and followed Alex out of the airport.
a/n This is annoying. The software that I have won't let me upload this. So I am having my friend do it. Hehe. Just so you know, Michael won't be around for a while. I don't know how often I will update, I have a a lot going on, a play and all. But I'll try to be good! Its amazing how it will look really long in the thing I am typing in, but then on the web site, it looks really short.
