"I'll miss you, Zoey."
"I'll miss you too, Chase, but it's only for a week. I'll see you soon!"
Zoey and Chase stood outside room 101 and hugged each other good bye. Spring break had finally arrived and Zoey had a plane to catch. After much planning and hectic packing, she and the other girls had created a way to go see Nicole. It was going to be a surprise visit- they were so eager to see the look on Nicole's face when she saw them!
"Have a safe trip," Chase said, kissing Zoey on the forehead.
Zoey smiled. "Thanks," she said. "I'm sure I will."
Logan watched as Dana crammed the last of her shirts into her already stuffed suitcase. He smiled at the way her hair was a mess and how she ran around the room like a crazed monkey. Seeing her so busy and panicked made him laugh. He reached over and tapped Dana on the shoulder, making her jump.
"You scared me!" she cried, putting a hand over the place where her heart was.
He laughed and pulled her into a tight hug. "It's going to be a lonely week," he said. "You know… without you here to cuddle with me."
Dana laughed and pulled herself away from Logan. "Well," she said. "I'm glad to know that you'll be happy to see me come back!" She grinned as she zipped her suitcase shut. She then glanced at her watch and said, "I got to go catch a taxi with Zoey and Quinn." She walked over to the door and then paused. "I'll… miss you somewhat."
"Only somewhat?" Logan said, pouting. "I'll be missing you all the time."
"Quit being so sappy," Dana said, pretending to be disgusted. She leaned over and gave Logan a quick kiss on the cheek. "You'll see me in a week," she said. "Until then!"
Quinn fell asleep in the taxi during the long ride to the airport. She only awoke when the taxi started traveling along an extremely bumpy road and her glasses started to slide off the end of her nose. She yawned and stretched her arms in the cramped space. Zoey smirked at her.
"Hey, Sleeping Beauty," she said. "You're awake, I see."
Quinn smiled and nodded her head as she rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand. Dana looked out the window and said, "Hey! We're here!" The taxi driver pulled up to the airport entrance and quickly got out of the car to unload the trunk.
After paying the taxi driver, the girls entered the air conditioned airport and wondered where they had to go to catch their flight. After an entire hour of wandering around and stopping at the gift store to look at the merchandise there, they finally boarded their plane. Much to their delight, they didn't have to wait very long to get their seats.
Quinn flipped through her Science notebook while Zoey and Dana looked through their magazines. They were starting to get a bit restless when finally a voice came over the loudspeaker. "Please put on your seatbelts," the voice said. "We are about to take off."
After only an hour of flying, Zoey and Dana had put away their magazines and fallen asleep. Quinn, however, stayed awake. After completing several Science equations (for fun, of course) she turned her MP3 Player on and started to listen to some music.
While she had her headphones on, she didn't hear someone calling her name, until they were practically shouting into her face. She quickly yanked an ear phone out of her ear and turned her head to face the person who was sitting behind her. "Yes?" she said, raising her eyebrows.
"I dropped my reading glasses and they slid under your seat," the person said. He smiled wearily. "Will you please retrieve them for me?"
"Oh… sure…"
Quinn bent down as far as she could and moved her hand along on the floor, feeling around for the glasses. She couldn't find them. She straightened up and turned her head to face the boy. "I can't find them," she said flatly. "Sorry."
"Please look again," the boy said.
"Look…" Quinn sighed heavily. Due to all the previous events in the past few weeks, she was not in the mood to look around the floor, trying to find glasses that a random stranger had dropped. "Look for it yourself!" she snapped.
"Please… help me!"
"No!"
"Please?"
"NO!"
"But they're right under your seat…"
"NO. DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY IT IN FRENCH? BECAUSE I WILL IF YOU WANT ME TO!"
Quinn had turned around all the way in her seat and was giving the boy a sharp glare. He stared back at her, his eyes wide with fear. He looked so terrified that Quinn had to smile a little. He took that as a good sign and smiled back.
"I'm Martin. You?"
"I'm Quinn." She stuck her hand out. "Nice to meet you."
They shook hands.
Hey guys it's me again Okay… I've had a million and one tests (no lie) and on top of all that, I lost my glasses and I've been having problems with various newspapers. So I hope you'll forgive me for yet another short and not very good chapter :( I promise you… one day I will give you a chapter that will make up for it all! I hope I still have some readers even though it takes me forever to update. Once again I apologize for that. I really am sorry. I hope one day I'll make it up to you!
