Chapter 5
After that conversation, there wasn't really much going on. We mainly did some small talk, but that's about it. I'm sure we all had questions about what was going on with our powers, but none of us really had any answers. When the limo stopped, we hopped out I was surprised to see an airport hangar instead of a school. "Where are we?" I asked. The limo driver did not reply, but just stared out into the clouds. I went outside and as I looked out, I was surprised to see a large private jet instead of a school. It seems as if I wasn't the only one that was surprised at jet, Jade looked like she was about to get sick, then I remembered, she was afraid of heights.
Ever since I met Jade, she was always afraid of heights. She wasn't proud of that fact, especially since everyone thought she was a very brave and daring person. So she hid the fact that she was scared to keep her reputation and so that she wouldn't be known as a wimp. She always made excuses to avoid field trips or when we hung out so people wouldn't find out. The only people who knew about the secret was her family, Chloe and I, I don't think she was planning to break her secret streak with a couple of guys. So, she did what she always did, acted cool, calm, and bored.
"Hey, are you okay?" I asked her. "Of course I'm not okay! But, there's no way I'm going to let those guys know about it. From what I've heard from Chloe and her obsessive Alice Academy magazines, they're one of the most popular guys in school. Not to mention they're freakishly talented in the performing arts, they're good looking, and they have fan clubs all over the world! If they find out my secret, they could spill it and I'll be known as the wimp who vomited on some of the cutest guys in Alice Academy on a private jet while she was taking a ride to school… yeah, there's no way I want that reputation before I even land on the island."
When I heard the word 'island', I was a bit surprised. I mean, I didn't know that much of Alice Academy to begin with, but now I'm thinking that Alice Academy has to be something big if the government is willing to spend this much money for a school to be situated in an Island. A man in a black suite appeared in front of us and told us that it was time to board the plane. I took a quick glance at Jade to check if she was okay. She seemed to understand what I was going for, because afterwards, she nodded at me, replying that she was okay and she could handle this. I had faith in Jade; I just hoped I had enough faith to make sure that she was definitely going to be okay.
We all went up a flight of steps to go into the jet and it was one of the fanciest things I have ever seen in my life. I saw white fluffy couches and it had cup holders attached to the side while they were placed to look like booths. In each booth there was a table in the middle. There were 2 booths while there were 2 big couches at the sides in the back. At the very back of the plane, there was a little bar area for the flight attendant and of course, the washrooms were at either side of it.
We all took a seat on the big couches; I sat beside Tyler and Jade, while everyone else went on the other couch in front of us. We heard a ding in the speaker and who I assumed was the captain was speaking. "Hello, this is Zack Nolan speaking and I will be your captain for this flight. We will arrive at Alice Academy in approximately 4 hours. Please buckle in your seat belt and thank you for riding with us on Air Alice." The flight attendant came in and started telling us about the safety instructions, through a little dance. I enjoyed it a lot because it incorporated a lot of songs that I liked.
Jade started nudging me, so I looked her way. "You've been on a plane a million times already right? You know this is my first time and about my little 'issue', so what's supposed to happen now?" Jade whispered. "Well, there'll be a bit of forced that'll be pressed against you because when we take off, gravity will be trying to push you down. Your head will get a bit tighter and same with your stomach, but don't worry, that's only for lift off. Your ears will end up popping so that you'll be a bit deaf. What I suggest is that you chew some gum, or force yourself to yawn, that will put your ears back to normal." I tried to smile at hear reassuringly to tell her that it'll all be okay, but I guess that didn't work because she looked even more freaked out than usual.
Then I realised that my attempt at my reassuring smile back fired when I noticed that I was fidgeting with my fingers. She probably noticed that too, so I tried to stop, but I just couldn't. I looked at her, and she looked worried, not for herself, but for me. "Hey, what's wrong?" Jade asked. "I know that I've been on planes for a while, and you would expect that I'm already used to it, but I really hate take off, and I'm still not used to it." I noticed that I was giving off a really uneasy vibe, because Tyler started looking at me. "Are you sure you're okay?" He asked looking surprisingly concerned for my well-being, especially since we just met, so I just went with it. "Um… I'm fine, but thank you for asking." "No problem, but don't be afraid to tell me anything if you feel uncomfortable." I gave him a quick smile and then turned away to face Jade. I tried to find something to distract me, anything that will take my attention away from Tyler.
It was finally take-off time when I offered to braid Jade's hair. It was then when I got even nervous. Before we took off, I was so nervous that I didn't think about it. I grabbed Tyler's hand and started holding it. But it was too late to let go, pretend nothing happened, and hoped that he didn't notice it, because unfortunately he noticed it and just stared at me for a couple seconds. In those seconds, I was having a heart attack in my mind. I thought he would have said something like, "Um… were not that close to be holding hands." Or even "Sorry I have a girlfriend." And just let go, misunderstanding my intentions. Those seconds felt like forever as I thought about more negative things while he stared at me, until he stopped staring, held my hand tighter and gave me one of the most gorgeous smiles I have ever seen in my life. I was literally melting when I saw his reassuring eyes (that I epically failed attempting to do) and that gorgeous smile of his. But those few seconds seemed as fleeting as he finally turned away, though he kept holding my hand, it felt a little awkward while Jade gave me an oh-my-God-I-can't-believe-that-just-happened type of look.
When we were finished with take-off and the seatbelt light turned off, he let go of my hand while Liam came over and started talking to him. Then I thought to myself, the next couple of days will be a roller coaster.
I know it kind of sounds like that's it… it's not finished yet. I'm hoping to do 20 chapters for this book, but I just want to see how this will go first. And for those that love the romance, there will be even more romantic things than this. I'm planning a little cute scene for two characters. If I get enough comments to which character it should be. I will make it that character(s). Please comment of favourite me or this book if you like it, and there will be more to come (hopefully soon)!
