Maia's POV

I sat by the window while my Joseph sat beside me. It was a awkward kind of silence so I started a conversation.

 ''Hey um you never really told me why you wanted to be a social worker, it must be a hard job. You don't have to tell me if you prefer.'' I asked kind of uncertain if he's going to want to talk  about it. ''Well, my parents had gave me up for adoption and I don't know, I only really wanted to help people.''  He said, cracking his knuckles looking at me wearily. I wonder how many times people have asked him.

"That seems nice... uh I'm going to have my headphones in ok?'' I said, glancing at him trying to see his reaction. "For the most part, and thanks... for warning me.'' He said with a pleasant tone at the end.

I plugged my headphones in and started listening to Panic Chord by Gabrielle Aplin (Hucci Remix). After 30 minutes of listening to my music I felt my eyelids suddenly start to weigh a million times heavier. About halfway through the plane ride I wake up. I start to move around and realize I need to use the restroom. I groggily wipe my eyes and get up, trying my best not to wake Jo up. That was my nickname for him now.

I successfully get up, and start walking to the back of the plane. I was still waking up and rubbing my eyes when I bump into someone or something. Most likely someone. I feel myself falling, falling into someone's arms. I look up and see a really cute guy with blonde hair smirking at me like a dork, but a cute dork. I quickly get out of his grasp. ''C-ca-atch th-the thanks, I mean th-the catch tha-thanks. Shit, uh, I-I mean thanks for the catch'' I stutter looking at the ground.  Why do I always have to talk fast?

 Also did I mention I have NO BOY EXPERIENCE ever? So, yeah, I get flustered when I'm around boys. ''Thanks for being a catch, and my names Matthew." He replies to my stupidness and I feel a warm feeling spread through me. I take a deep breath, smiling and reply. "My names Maia."

 He nods and I continue walking to the restroom and notice that he was walking back to the seats. I slightly try to open the door but it's locked, I just lean against the wall and wait. Less than a minute later, a boy walks out with brown locks in a messy quiff, and ocean blue eyes I could get lost in.

 I was gonna say something but he cuts me off. ''Hey my names, oh were you gonna say something?'' He says, his eyebrows pulling together. I smile like a dork, usually a guy keeps on going but he didn't. ''Oh well I was just gonna say excuse me.'' I laugh after and he does too. "Oh ok. My names Nash, I think you ran into my friend Matt." He says nervously but still had a goofy grin that made me smile even more. 

''Yeah, well at least I know your friend, Matthew's name." I stop there and continue looking at him until I remembered I was suppose to tell him my name, as he told me his. "My name's Maia by the way."  I say awkwardly and tuck a piece of hair behind my ear.

''Yeah, wait you don't know who I am or anything?'' He asks, confusion written all over his face. ''N-no why?'' I had no idea who he was honestly. Maybe he was one of those famous people April always gushes over. Oh April, I miss you. ''Uh no reason, just wondering. I better let you go, my friends are probably wondering where I went." He chuckles after and I only nod, looking down. Shoot, I totally forgot I had to go restroom while talking. I hear his footsteps behind me and I turn walking up to him.

 ''Oh yeah, it was nice meeting you. Here i'll give you my number. Maybe we can talk again." I scribble my number on his hand and smile at him walking to the restroom, again. After I was done with my business I start to head back to my seat.

Why the hell did I give him my phone number? I was walking backwards, wondering if I could be like those people in music videos where they rewind the video. It isn't actually that har- My thought is cut off when I feel myself fall back, my foot tripping over someone else's. I brace for impact but instead fall into someone's arms.
