Travelers (two: the flight)
"Kaia what is it?" Zayn asks and I shake my head, a smile forming on my lips. I look over at Zayn.
"a proposal," I say as Zayn gave me a goofy smile.
"I guess you can say, she's a traffic stopper for him," Zayn says with the same goofy smile. I actually want to slap him or I mean laugh at how stupid the joke is.
"It's kind of anticlimactic," I say sighing as I sit back into the seat.
"You also like to think the worst of every situation. And plus you always try to sike yourself up for things. It's like you want to be living in a story or something. Your own personal fanfic that reads 'Kaia's life'" Zayn says making me frown. I know he is right, but just because he is right, doesn't mean that I am ready to stop being in Kaia world.
"Yah, but to look out into the world the way I do, I just know that I get the right amount of peace and drama," I say my voice dropping down to a mear whisper of disappointment. Zayn takes note of it and frowns upon my words.
"I didn't mean it like that, it's not a bad thing," He says and I shrug looking at him.
"No need to apologise," I say. I wasn't really hurt, I just don't like admitting things about myself. Especially things that are so stupid but make me happy.
I look down at the time and bite my lip. we seriously only have an hour and a half till the plane leaves. In this traffic, we will be barely making it. I take a deep breath and grip the steering wheel. I need to stay calm, everything will work out, it has to.
"Kaia, if you grip that steering wheel any tighter, it's going to crumble into pieces," Dan says and I let go.
I know everyone is laughing at how much stress I am in. But this is really the only thing I can be proud of. In my world, everyone is doing something. Zayn is a music producer, he loves the hip-hop scene and he is also well known. Nicette runs a very popular blog, that everyone loves. I think she will be the next big thing. Dan is on youtube and is starting to climb his way to the top. And then there is me. nothing really special about this one. I don't really have a life, my life is stuck at home wondering when I will actually get up and do something. While everyone I know has a couple hundred friends, I only have about 5. And each one is out living their productive lives. I am so done with being jealous of my friends, to me, it is just pathetic of me. So I planned a trip to go around the world. Finally, when I die I will remember for how I went around the world. Obviously, I wouldn't want to be going on this huge trip alone, so I brought my best friends.
"How is Jada?" I ask Zayn. I invited her on the trip, and she was going to come till I got a text from her last night that she wasn't. Jada is Zayn's girlfriend, and I thought they were on good terms, but I guess not.
"We're fine," He says coldly. Lier.
"You know Zayn you can talk to me whenever you want," I say. I know he was planning something big for her, how that went is what I don't know.
"Kaia, we're fine," He says loudly. So loud Nicette and dan look up at us. I nod and clear my throat reaching for the radio and turning it on. I created this awkward setting, and now I don't even know how to fix it.
"Thank God the traffic is starting to move," I say as the car starts to move.
"There is seriously no parking?" I ask going around the whole parking lot again. Panic starts to set in again as I grip the steering wheel.
"Kaia, we're going to make the flight," Zayn says as he continues to look for a spot.
"We have 45 minutes to get there," I say sighing. I saw lights turn on down the isle. I drive fast yet safe to the car that is now backing up. It did feel a lot better now that I am actually parking in a spot.
"Is your mom still coming to pick up the car?" Zayn asks and I nod.
"Yeah, and she is going to drive it around so it's not just sitting there for a year," I say shaking my head as I get out and put the key in my wallet. I gave her the set, I just had the spare. I look around the car and see if I missed anything before reaching for my wallet and my phone putting them in my backpack. I open the back hatch and lock the car so I don't have to do it later. We each grab our suitcases and I look at my watch.
"The shuttle should be here soon," Nicette says as we start our walk to the shuttle pick up. It was a 10-minute wait, which turned our 40-minute time slot into a 30-minute time slot. The bus drive itself took about 10-minutes as well. That's it. I know we will be late there is no if and about it.
I walk out of the shuttle and into the airport quickly getting in line. Some anxiety leaving my body as the lines are very short. I smile at the lady and hand her my passport and money. Checking us all in took almost 5 minutes, faster than anything today.
"Enjoy your flight," The lady at the counter smiles at me.
"When I get on it, I am sure I will," I say. What's text? Oh, I know, going through security. I walk towards our gate till we reach the security section. My mouth drops at how many people were actually here. Zayn puts his arm around my shoulder.
"10-minutes tops," He says. 10-minutes, 10-minutes turned to 20-minutes. When Dan finally get his shoes on and his backpack on I let out a huge sigh.
"Now we have to be that one group of people who runs to our flight come on," I say as I start to run. I wasn't sure if any of them were running with me but I know if I at least got there I wouldn't completely be late. Of course, our gate is already boarding, and I'm still so far away. The flight stops boarding in 3 minutes and I am still nowhere close to it.
"I am sorry there is no way I can get you on the flight," the attendant says with an attitude as she starts to close the door to the plane. I had made it to the way of the plane door, she hasn't even shut it and she won't let me in. To say I was angry wasn't even discriptive enough. Zayn makes his way to me grabbing my arm as Nicette and Dan both run up behind him.
"Come on Kaia, it's not worth it," Dan calls out as the flight attendant looks up at the voice.
"You-your Dan, from youtube," She says her voice getting higher.
"That must mean your Nicette, his girlfriend!" She says excitedly. "I am so sorry please get in the plain." She says "I will give you all first class seats." She says and walks us in. I didn't care if I had the rear, I am happy for getting on the plane. I let them all go in front and walk in. The flight attendant seats them all and then looks at me with a perky smile.
"I am sorry, we are all out of first class, but I have an even better seat for you," She says. She starts to walk and I glance down at my friends. I walk with her till we reach the end of the flight and offers me a seat. Two kids sat behind me, and a handsome man next to me. "Have a nice flight," She says. I sit down and look at my surroundings. A 15-hour flight, tears started to form in my eyes as I take my backpack off and sit down. They are tears of frustration, why did I have to get this seat? Is it because I wasn't famous like the other three? I buckle myself up and hug my backpack to my chest.
I sit through the safety instructions good, and throughout the flight lift off until I hear the pilot come on the speaker.
"And we are air born. Let the 15-hour flight to Hong Kong start." He says as the tears start to fall.
"Why are you crying?" The man next to me asks. His voice was gentle, and in a way calmed me down.
"Well my friends and I almost missed out flight," I say and look up at the man. His features were soft as well, he honestly looked like a teddy bear. His soft brown hair being styled up in a mountain kind of way. He has brown eyes and thick eyebrows. He has thick eyebrows and a freckle on his neck. Very handsome.
"Where are your friends?" He asks and I sigh.
"They got put in First Class. I didn't even get my original seat, someone else was sitting in it," I say.
"Why did your friends get first class and you got, well this?" He asks looking genuinely confused. I just shrug, why did I get put back here? I look down, I actually know why.
"Well, my friends are all well known. Dan is on youtube, Nicette has a very successful blog, and well Zayn...Zayn is a successful music producer. And I tell him all the time he should record his own stuff, but he doesn't listen to me. If you could just hear his voice..." I say and shake my head. "But then there is me. I don't really do much but talk" I say.
"You can now walk around the cabin," The loud speaker says and I frown. Looking at the man.
"Why don't you go up and talk to them about it then?" He asks
"Because I don't think it really matters anymore," I say looking down a bit.
"Now don't say that, go up there." He says and I shake my head.
"I like being back here, you've calmed me down from being really mad," I say honestly as I hear him laugh.
"Well, thats what I do for a living. I am a therapist." He says and smiles.
"Well, you are really good at your Job," I say and offer him my hand. "I am Kaia," I say.
"Kaia, are you back here?" I hear a familiar voice call out to me. I look up and see Zayn who shows me his big smile. He comes and sits in the seat next to me. "I'm sorry you got put back here. I asked the flight attendant where she put you and she just grinned at me so obnoxiously." Zayn says before looking at the man next to me and smiling.
"Hey buddy, I am Zayn. Thanks for taking care of her." Zayn says smiling at him as the man take hold of Zayn's hand.
"I am Liam and no big deal. You two make a cute couple," Liam says with a hint of disappointment in his voice. My eyes widen and I shake my head as a giggle escapes my lips.
" the wrong message, We are not together," I say as a blush forms across Liam's lips. I couldn't help my laugh. It was cute to think that.
"Sorry, my bad," He says chuckling.
"its okay, not only did you calm me down you managed to make me laugh as well. Good for you, honestly," I say with a thankful smile.
Me and Zayn a couple? Yeah right.
A/N: I promise the chapters will get more interesting after this one due to the fact that now the characters are going on the trip.
What do you think of Liam? He's so kind, right?
