"We're home"

Mr. Barry Wright, who preferred we call him Barry, came into view at the front of the passenger section of the plane. He signaled us to pay attention yet gave up at the sight of the 10 kids expressing their excitement of their dream come true.

"Wwwwwwwsssssssssshhhhhhhh", the sound of a whistle came shrieking behind me and instantly silenced everyone.

"Now, most of America thinks y'all are dead. So when they see your faces, it will cause national chaos. You kids have become the headline of every newspaper in the country. Be prepared to answer a few questions and have a couple photos taken. Am I clear?"

A mumbled yes satisfied his request. "So, who's ready to see your family?" We all cheered in hysteria.

"Melissa," Jackson grabbed my hand as the rest of the group exited the plane, "before the drama starts, I want you to know that what I said at camp will always be true. Nothing can change it, okay?"

Hearing this suddenly gave me a boost of self-esteem. "Don't worry. I'll never forget it, Cody."

The look on his face changed when he heard me say his real name. I noticed him trying to connect with me in his eyes as he leaned forward. "That's all I have to say." And with that he closed the gap between our faces.

"HE IS KISSING ME!!!" That was all my brain could process as Jackson softly placed his hand on my waist. Angelic choir was humming in my brain. The 4th of July sparklers were shooting everywhere. This is exactly how I imagined my first kiss to be like.

A soft cough from a flight attendant tore our faces apart. Hand in hand, Jackson and I walked down the aisle (don't worry, this is not the wedding) of seats. Yet irritated, I glared at the coughing flight attendant, who just smiled sheepishly in return.

"There you guys are! We thought you got stuck in your seats!" cried Nathan when we approached the group.

"Nah, that would only happen to Taylor." I replied. We all laughed when we saw Taylor's look of confusion.

"Barry" came up to the front of the group and started yet another one of his little pep talks. I swear this guy has more pep talks than a football coach! Oh, football! The idea of turning on the TV and watching a game! My sister and I would watch games every weekend. It's a little fact that no one at school knows about. Not even Nathan knows. Otherwise he would freak out, him being obsessed with football.

"Melissa! Snap out of it!" yelled Eric, whose face happened to be less than 5 inches away from mine.

"Whoa Eric, back up." I replied, placing two fingers on him chest and pushing him away. The way he stumbled backwards made us all laugh. In the time that we spent on the island, we got to know each other really well. Like Abby said, we became practically family.

"Now, as I was saying, your families are waiting behind these doors," he pointed to a set of glossy, black, French doors leading to the airport, "so let's get moving."

We all formed a line, side by side, and joined hands. We entered this journey together, and we will now leave the journey, together.

Two men opened the doors and we made our way inside. A moment later, we were bombarded by flashing lights and microphones shoved in our faces.

Another sharp whistle calmed the chaos as the reporters stepped to the side to reveal the people we have been dying to see for a month. Our families.

Well? What did ya think? Please review! Oh and expect a cliff hanger in the 3rd chapter!!
