The next morning Melissa and I got breakfast from the hotel buffet, which was better than we were expecting. I throw my hair into two dutch braids before slipping my glasses on, not being bothered to put contacts in. We grab our stuff, making sure that we weren't forgetting anything before walking down to the lobby.

Mel had made sure that we were early, which, mixed with me being terrible at time management, really meant getting there on time. We greet Jeff who marks us down before we put our stuff on the bus and walk back into the lobby to wait with everyone else.

"Hey Dylan, do you know where Ben and Josh are?" Jeff asks as I walk back with coffee from the buffet.

"No, I can go check on them if you want?"

"If you don't mind." I shake my head and take another sip of my coffee before handing the cup to Sky and walking to the elevator.

I walk down the hall and knock on Josh's door. They don't say anything so I knock again.

"One minute!"

"Dude, Jeff is waiting on you." I yell back at Josh. The door opens and I walk in, seeing clothes everywhere. "Why aren't you packed?" They don't say anything and I sigh, kneeling down and throwing clothes into the nearest suitcase.

"Wait but those are mine." Ben says and I glare up at him.

"Jeff is already pissed, you guys can sort your clothes out later. Right now, we just need to get everything into the suitcase and get down to the lobby." They nod, Ben rolling his eyes, but continue throwing clothes into suitcases.

After ten minutes they're fully packed and we walk down the hall.

"How did you manage to be ready?" Josh asks as the elevator starts to move.

"Melissa," I say, making him nod. We walk out and Jeff turns, a look of relief on his face.

"Okay, let's go." He says as we join the group. Josh and Ben put their bags under the bus before sitting in front of Sky and I.

After a twenty minute bus ride we get to the airport and Jeff reminds us to stay with our travel buddy. Sky and I follow Josh and Ben out of the bus. I grab my bag and hand Sky his. We walk into the airport and Jeff hands us our tickets.

"Don't lose them." He reminds us and we nod. "You guys can check your bag, wait with Catie for everyone else." We nod and walk over to the bag check.

After checking our bags we find Catie waiting with Angela, Zach, Vincent, Anthony, and their parents. We join them, Nico and DeMarius walking up behind us. After about fifteen minutes the rest of our group shows up and we go through security, which takes a while.

"Okay guys, we have about an hour and a half before our flight takes off. I want you all back here by 10:50 if you want to walk around. If you walk around, let one of the adults know. Other than that, don't be too loud, don't get in trouble, don't hurt anyone. You all know the drill." Jeff lectures before letting us leave.

Josh, Sky, Ben, and I walked around the airport, looking at all of the little gift shops and stuff. I looked up from the candy at Josh who had called my name. He held up a mug with a tree on it. I laughed and sent a picture to my mom, she loved mugs.

We made our way back to the group, stopping on the way to get snacks. They called our flight after a few minutes and Jeff gathered everyone around.

"Does everyone have their tickets?" I nod and hold mine up, everyone else doing the same. "Good, now please be polite and quiet on the flight. Go ahead and go." He finishes and Sky and I walk onto the flight.
