Hey-o! Thanks for coming back. This Drabble's dedicated to anonymous reviewer jster1983, and she gave me this suggestion :3 This Drabble's a little longer then I had hoped :x Oh well, enjoy!


Courtney was bored out of her mind. She sniffed. This airport smelled like floor cleaner and fast food grease. Ick. She adjusted in her cushioned seat. She turned her earing. Her hand reached in her bag and took out a novel. After a few pages, she put it back down. Moms pulled their kids flooded the center aisle, along with other business men and families going to London, too.

Courtney had a job offer in England after the ship crashed when it didn't stop in the island. Good thing, too, she heard it was a radioactive swamp there. A poor girl actually mutated because of the stuff!

She fixed her purple sweater and crossed her legs. She fished in her suitcase for her phone. She grabbed it, unlocked it, and uncrossed her legs. She pulled up her contacts and tapped GWEN. The two had been getting along better, even though that backstabbing bitch took her boyfriend and-

Courtney took a deep breath. She was her friend now…

She texted the goth a simple HEY.

Courtney waited. She checked her phone. 2:10. Her flight leaves at 4:45, on the dot. This as going to be longer then she thought. She checked her phone again. 2:15.

It looked like Gwen doesn't want to text her back… She always texts back in the first few minutes.

Courtney shrugged it off. She tapped HEATHER.

"hey."

Courtney waited, no response. Oh well, heh, they're probably together. No problem, the mall is crowded in the summer…

Courtney smacked her forehead. Heather and Gwen hate each other. Why would they be hanging out?

Bridgette: "Hey girl! Haven't seen you in a while. How's it been?"

The brunette waited. No response from her, either…

Courtney brushed that one off, too. Bridgette likes to surf… right?

She sent a text to Izzy: "Hey."

No repsonse!

She tapped Lindsay's name. "Hi!"

She waited. Her phone never made a sound.

She texted Beth, Katie, Sadie, Geoff, Leshawna, Cody, Duncan for God's sake…

But her phone never buzzed.

Courtney was at the point of crying. These people changed her life forever and they won't even talk to her? She checked her service. Four bars, her service was perfect. Why wasn't anyone texting her? Was it something she said? Didn't say? Was she …

She felt some on her thigh. Her phone… It rang?

She picked up her phone… 3:45 It said. It also said something that gave her Goosebumps, "One New Text Message."

Courtney almost squealed right there in the terminal. Her stomach flipped with excitement. She unlocked her phone. It clicked. She looked at her inbox, yup, there it said : ONE NEW MESSAGE.

She tapped it eagerly. Finally! About time someone tal-

She gasped. Her heart wrenched and her eyes watered. She slowly hid her phone away. She zipped up her bag. So they do hate her…

The text read, "MESSAGE FROM SERVICE PROVIDER:…"

Then, something sparked, like a flame. It wasn't anger, nope. It was… strange. But it made her want to crawl away and never come out.

Regret.
