The Apprentice || h.s

Chapter 6

Today is the day. I'm leaving Chicago to head to London and work with One Direction.

Ha never thought I'd say that.

I finish closing my last suit case and roll it to the front door with my other bags. I'm greeted by Rachel and Evan.

"This is for you because we love you and we'll miss you" Rachel says as she hands me a small box. I slowly open the box and inside is a gorgeous necklace with a heart shaped locket. "There's a picture of us three in there, so you don't forget us" Evan says as he places the necklace around my neck and clipping it closed. I open the locket and see a small photo of us three when we went to the rock music festival this past summer. "You really think I could forget you guys" I say as tears begin to form in my eyes.

We all laugh and begin to bring my bags down to meet with the cab.

We quickly load my bags into the back of the cab and I set my hand bag on the back seat.

"I still can't believe you're going to London to work with Lou Teasdale and touch One Direction's hair" Rachel says.

"I'll be sure to get a lock of a hair from Zayn" I jokingly say which causes her to laugh.

I check my phone and see I my flight leaves in an hour and a half.

"I better get going"

"I'm gonna miss you so much Bambi" Rachel says and tears start to slowly form in her eyes.

"C'mon boob to boob" I say and pull her into long embrace. "Evan c'mere get boob to boob with us" Rachel yells which causes Evan to chuckle and join our hug. "I love you guys I'll text you when I land!" I yell as I climb into the cab.

"Where to?" The drivers asks.

"The airport please" I say politely.

The drive was short and depressing. As we drove off both Rachel and Evan were waving as the cab drove off which made me cry.

"Thank you so much" I say as the driver takes my bags out of the back. I hand him the money for the drive and an extra tip for helping me.

I grab a cart and place my three suit cases on and begin to push towards the check-in desks.

"Hello" the lady greets.

"Hi"

"Where to?"

"Um Lou Teasdale said there should be a ticket for me for London?" I say hesitantly.

"Ah yes Amber Rose Mayfield?" She asks

"Yeah" I say as I hand her my passport

"Alright how many bags do you have?" She asks "three" I point to my bags on the cart.

"Ok you can place them on here" she points to a scale "and then it'll be just be taken to luggage"

"And here you go" she says as she hands me my boarding pass. I look at the ticket to see where I'm sitting and my eye widen in shock.

Row 3 seat B First Class

She got me a seat in first class what the hell. I then make my way to security and head to my gate, with 30 minutes to spare.

I spend the time walking to Starbucks which was the closest place where I could get a drink.

"Flight to London Heathrow will be boarding first class in 10 minutes" the lady on the intercom says. I begin to walk back to my gate stopping at the bathroom first.

I arrived back to my gate on time "flight A-25 to London Heathrow will now begin to board first class" the lady says again.

I walk up to the gate and hand the lady my pass and scans it. "Enjoy your flight" she says with a smile.

I walk down the hall and begin to walk inside the aircraft, but not forgetting the touch the outside of the plane.

Ever since I was little when ever my family would fly to visit family I had to touch the outside of the plane, don't ask why I just thought it would give me good luck for the flight. I've never had a rough or scary flight since I 'touch the out side of the plane'.

After about 15 minutes everyone is settled in and the flight attendants go through the safety guide while the plane begins to take off.

Here I am Amber Rose Mayfield, from a small town in Canada, who moved to Chicago, got an early admission to Cosmetology school, is heading to London to be Lou Teasdale's apprentice and work with One Direction on their new tour.
