How A Summer Can Change Everything || Lando Norris

Chapter 2

'So I've been thinking about France.' I say to jasmine. I see a sparkle in her eyes when I say that. Her grandma is from France so she loves the country. 'I totally agree.' She says with a big smile on her face. She's definitely the prettiest one of us. Here blue eyes and brown hair, the dimple when she smiles. We both look at Nienke. 'Now its on u.' Jasmine says. Nienke giggles. 'Okay okay, France sounds nice.' - 'Yesss!' Jasmine and I shout at the same time. We start laughing. I grab my laptop out of my desk and go to Google. 'Where in France do we wanna go?' I ask. 'Definitely the south!' Jasmine shout. 'Its so beautiful there, and the weather is amazing!' Nienke and I chuckle. 'Youre right. I love it, the sea, mountains, lavender fields.' I say. 'What about this?' I click on a website. 'Camping La vie.' Jasmine reads out loud. 'Sounds nice!' Nienke says. I click on the pictures. It looks nice too. 'Everything looks really clean and stuff.' I nod. 'This one?' They both nod. We decide to get my dad upstairs to help u with booking the mobile home.

'See u girls Wednesday!' I both give them a hug. After we decide where we're going and booking the mobile home we watched a movie, had some drinks and talked about how excited we are. Jasmine already had been on a holiday before, without her parents. But Nienke and I didn't.
'Dad I'm gonna sleep, see u tomorrow.' I say and walk to the kitchen. 'Tomorrow I'll be at work so u will be home alone, is that okay?' He asks. I nod. 'Yeah sure.' I quick grab a bottle of water and walk upstairs. With a little tension in my stomach I go to bed. I think a while about my mom. Would she let me go? would she be worried about me?

~Wednesday~
'Bye dad!' I give him one last hug. He presses a kiss on my hair. 'Be safe.' He says and winks at me. Nienke and Jasmine also say goodbye to their parents. 'Bye Sophie!' I wave at her. A small tear rolls down her cheek. 'Hey look at me, we will be back in a week, okay?' She nods. I give her a last hug and run to the girls. 'Ready?' Nienke asks. I nod nervous. 'Our plane leaves in 40 minutes, so bring our luggage and then grab some food and drinks?' Jasmine says. 'Sounds good!' We check in and walk to subway. 'What do u want?' Nienke asks. 'Just a water, I had enough for breakfast.' 'Sure.' She walks away to order.
'Come! We have to be in the plane in 10 minutes.' Bo grabs my hand and pulls me with her. The plane comes from London, and now lands here to take some people with it and than flies to 'Nice'.

Seat C431, Seat C431. I keep repeating in my head. C430. Here it is. My seat is near a window. 'Hi.' A boy says. My seat is next to his. 'Hey.' I say shy. There's a seat free next to the window. The backpack of the boy is on it. 'Do u mind me sitting there?' I ask shyly. He smiles at me. 'Yeah sure.' He says with a lovely, British accent. I kinda get shy of his voice. He takes his bag away and puts it on my old seat. I sit down next to the window. I love to fly. How is it possible such a big plane can keep in the air. I plug in my airdpods and grab a book out of my backpack. I go to Spotify and put on some classical music. I play piano, and love classical music. Its a song I'm learning on the piano. I softly hum along with the music. 'What ur listening to?' The boy asks after a few minutes. I plug out my airpod. 'What did u say?' He smiles at me again. He is adorable with that smile, a little gab between his tooth shows up. I see a sparkle in his eyes. 'What ur listening to, I said.' He repeats himself. 'Beethoven.' I say in my best English. He chuckles. 'You're into classical music?' I press my lips into a line and nod. Most of the people think its weird. But I love it. It keeps me calm, and releases a lot of stress. 'Unique.' He says and puts on his headphones again.
I decide to watch a movie, they have Disney+ here. I decide to watch Cars 3. I love the movie. Always when I'm watching I'm getting emotional. It reminds me of my mom. She always got told she can't do anything. But she showed she could do things. She became National champion on the 200m Sprint with track running. I love her, I love how she kept fighting for herself. 'You're literally watching Cars?!' The boy says chuckling. 'Yeah, so what. I like the movie.' He presses his lips into a thin line. 'Can I watch with u, I'm pretty bored.' I nod and give him one of my airpods.

Shoot, again, I'm crying. But worse of it, I'm crying in front of a boy, a cute boy. After 10 minutes the boy joint me watching the movie I putted my head on his shoulder. I could feel him shy when I did it. Its actually the first time I didn't care about what someone thought of me.
'We're landing in five minutes.' I hear someone whispering. I sit straight and rub in my eye. I must have fallen asleep. 'Thanks for waking me up.' I say and give a soft smile. I put my stuff back in my bag and put on my seatbelt. Landing, I hate it. My ears always hurt when it happens, I think its kinda scary. I love flying, but landing on the other way, I hate it. I squeeze the armrest harder to release the tension. 'You're okay?' A sweet voice says. I softly shake my head. I feel a warm hand laying down on mine. I feel butterflies in my stomach. 'We're not gonna die or something.' He says deadly serious. A chuckle escapes my mouth. 'I know, but yeah.' He smiles at me. 'Just think about something u like, and close ur eyes.' He says. I try to relax my muscles and think about playing the piano. With my left hand I play the chords of a song on my armrest. 'U play piano don't u?' He asks. I nod. 'How do u know?' - 'first the classical music, and now ur playing the piano on ur armrest.' Again a chuckle escapes of my mouth. 'We just landed on 'Nice Airport' have a nice day!' Sounds trough the plane. I grab my bag and get up. 'Whats ur name?' I say while turning around. The boy already left. Some sort of sadness goes trough my body.

'Hey girl!' I hear Nienke shouting. I wave at her. 'Had a nice flight? I sat next to a old woman, she kept talking about her cats. After a few minutes I fell asleep.' I laugh. 'Yeah, it was okay.' I keep thinking about that boy. 'Let's go find Jasmine.' I say. Nienke nods we walk out of the plane. Jasmine is waiting outside. 'How was ur flight.' Jasmine winks at me. Jasmine was a few rows behind me. 'Nice.' I feel my cheeks getting red. Jasmine giggles.

'Bo!' Nienke pulls my arm. 'There's a piano! U should play.' I sight. 'I don't know.' She looks at me with puppy eyes. 'Pwease.' I sight again. A soft okay escapes my mouth. I take a seat behind the piano, quickly stretch my fingers and start playing. While playing lot of people are stopping and start listening. I start kinda getting nervous. I close my eyes and just play what comes to my mind.
When I'm finished people start cheering. I feel my cheeks getting red and hot. I get up, grab my bag and walk back to Jasmine and Nienke. 'You are so amazing!' Nienke hugs me. 'Girl you're good.' Jasmine gives me a smile.

'Hey! hey!' I hear a voice. I hear someone running. Someone taps my shoulder. I turn around and look in 2 bright blue eyes. 'Hey.'  I say shyly. Jasmine giggles. 'We will wait outside.' Jasmine grabs Nienkes arm and they walk away.
'You. Are. Amazing on the piano.' I press my lips into a line. 'Thanks.' The boy scratches the back of his head. 'So ehm... what's your name?' He says kinda nervous and shy. 'Bo.' I reach out my hand. When our hands meet a sparkle runs up my spine. 'I'm Lando.' She smiles cute at me. I get butterflies of his British accent, blue eyes and dimple when he smiles. 'Can I have your instagram?' He asks. I chuckle. 'Yeah ofc.' He reaches out his phone. I search for my instagram and press follow. My phones buzzes. 'ln111399 wants to follow you.'
'I eh... I need to go, see you.' He gives me a smile and runs to a few boys. When I walk away i quickly turn around, the boys are still watching me, some of them smile at me. I feel my cheeks getting warm when Lando's eyes meet mine. He smiles at me.
