The Clique

Chapter Nine

Courtney

My feet clacked down the long airport halls. There were lots of people with briefcases and bags. I was also dragging my grey bag behind me as I walked do section B. I had a 4'0clock flight to Florida this morning. I told Gwen and Bridgette not to come; it was way to early anyway.

"Bye, Court." My mom stated, giving me an awkward hug. "Have a safe trip,"

That's all she said. My heart sunk as I watched her walk away; just like that. I bit my lip, and dragged my things over to a row of black, leather seats lined up. I yanked my bag up; and placed it down slowly. I sat in the chair next to my things after that with a long sigh.

The time went by quickly as I waited.

"Flight B1 passengers; please report to the gate," An attendant's voice rang over the speakers. Some of the people around me gathered their bags, and walked to the front to check in with their tickets.

Duncan

I growled as I stomped my foot down on the peddle. I was so damn late; it wasn't even funny. I didn't want to miss seeing princess off.

I sighed, and slowed my pace a little. Didn't want the police coming after me. That would only make this day even more crappy.

And that's when I saw a neon green car zoom down the road at a dangerously fast speed. It was followed by a lot of horns beeping and yelling. My window was down; so I could hear it all.

"What the crap," I stated to myself as I continued to drive down the road. I glanced at my watch as I parked into the busy airport parking lot. Courtney would be getting towards the gate by now! I jammed my car door open; and made a mad rush towards the airport; almost being hit by a taxi as I ran across the road.

Izzy

Ooooh yeah! This is so awesome!

Let's see… where was I? Right, so right now I'm driving down the road in the car I stole from my sister's ex boyfriend. Everyone's yelling at me for some reason… People always yell at me though; so I guess it's just normal.

I laughed as my car crashed into another car. It was a dull red colored car. Luckily it was just a bump, so no one was hurt or anything.

"Wooo! That was so awesome!" I exclaimed, sticking my head out the sun roof. "You okay down there?" I looked down at the other car to see who it was.

Noah

I couldn't believe it. Izzy just rammed me with some neon green car. I stepped out of my own car as calm as I could, and crossed my arms.

"Oh! Hey Noah!" Izzy exclaimed cheerfully. I twitched, "Funny seeing you here!"

"Yeah….really funny…" I stated sarcastically, raising a brow.

"Yep…" Izzy agreed. She paused; looking at me for a few minutes in silence. Somehow; her green eyes seemed so captivating. Izzy being quiet for such a long time was very unusual.

"So what are you doing out so early?" I asked, crossing my arms again. I wanted to break the strange silence between us.

"Ha! I just wanted to drive. My parents won't let me have my own car," Izzy stated. I could tell that was true… "And I stole my sister's ex boyfriend's car! Isn't that awesome!?"

Izzy. That was typical for her I guess. I couldn't help but smile at her ranting.

"Yeah, that's awesome, Izzy." I agreed; my voice lacking it's usual sarcastic edge.

Izzy grinned at me, and popped back in the car through the sun roof. She rolled down to window to the passenger seat.

"C'mon, Noah! We should find a place to get your car fixed! I can at least give you a ride~"

'BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD idea! Riding in a freaking CAR with IZZY!? That would be like planning my own death right now!' I thought, staring at her again.

"Sure,"

Courtney

I walked up the gate slowly, and handed the attendant my ticket. She smiled at me with a perky edge, and punched a hole into the bottom of it. She handed the ticket back to me, and I gathered my bags out again. I looked out to the B section again before I turned to walk down towards the gate.

"Courtney!" I heard a male voice exclaimed. I glanced back; though I couldn't leave the gate. It was too late.

Duncan ran up as close to the entrance to the gate as he could get, ignoring the people's yelling behind him. I gasped in surprise, and opened my mouth to speak. Before I could say anything; he tossed a small brown item through the gate area. I cought it, and glanced down at it with my onyx eyes. My nose wrinkled when it was a wooden skull. He probably carved it. I shook my head, and my eyes became moist.

"This is really weird and creepy," I started, holding the skull a little closer to my face, "But… I love it! I'll never forget you!"

Duncan

I smiled weakly as the attendant pushed Courtney ahead because she was keeping up the line.

"We'll see each other again, princess." I stated, watching for her plane out the window, "I'll be sure of it."

Her plane rose up, and disappeared into the early morning sky. I sighed, and turned around.

Noah

"Izzy, where are we going?" I asked in slight panic as Izzy drove the neon green car down the street at a fast speed.

"Seven Eleven!" Izzy exclaimed, "I'm in the mood for a slushie!"

"A slushi!?" I exclaimed, "It's thirty degrees outside!"

"So?" Izzy asked as she pulled into the Seven Eleven parking lot. "C'mon, Noah! Slushies on me!"

I sighed, smiling a little. I plopped out of the car; and she pulled me into the Seven Eleven by my arm.

I blushed a little. 'Just because she's holding my hand… It doesn't mean ANYTHING!'

Bridgette

Gwen and I walked down the airport halls.

"Crap! We're too late!" Gwen exclaimed as we watching a plane zoom up into the car from the B section window.

"Gwen? Bridgette?" We heard a rather familiar voice say. We turned to see Duncan; the one and only.

"Did you get to see Courtney off?" I asked in slight hope. I'd feel bad if Courtney left without a goodbye.

"Just barely," Duncan replied, stuffing his hands in his pockets. We both sighed.

"Well… I guess we'll have to talk to her on the phone later then…" Gwen started; clearly pissed that we missed seeing our best friend off.

"She'll be back," Duncan stated, "I'm sure of it…"
