Lost in Europe

CHAPTER EIGHT- AVERY

When I got to the trailer, I saw my suitcases Collin and I had packed the night before together. The were all the way in the back of the 12 by 12 little trailer. My polka dotted one was under a few bags, easy access, no problem. My red and black one on the other hand, was shoved in the corner to the right, under like twenty bags.

“ Want help with that?” Timothy asked.

“ Uh, yeah sure. Thanks.” I smiled politely and looked around for Collin.

“ If you're looking for lover boy, he's on the other side of the bus with Mr. Evens, talking.

“ What did he do?” How the hell did he already get in trouble? We aren't even in Europe yet!

“ He isn't in trouble, Mr. Evens just wants to talk to him about you. He saw you two all cuddled up and he's concerned about what you two are gonna do on the trip.” What the- How is that any of his business?

“ Okay thanks... It's the black and white polka dotted one and the red and black plaid one back there in the corner.” I pointed to the bags and watched him pull them out, effortlessly. Dang, that boy can lift weight.

Collin appeared behind me, hugging me from the back. Cutest, yet cheesiest thing ever invented with couples. I laughed, but remembered what Timothy had told me.

“ Collin- What about Mr. Evens? Doesn't he suspect- or assume that somethings... you know. Gonna happen?”

“ Just let me handle him, Aves. Don't worry about it. Here, I only have one bag, so let me grab one of yours.”

“ I can get it-”

“ No really, I insist.”

“ By the way, I figured we could just share a hotel room when we get there. I hope that isn't a problem, because I can still go change it if you want.”

“ No, it's fine. Separate beds though right? I don't want anyone getting any ideas.” He smiled and nodded his head, bringing comfort to me. I think I'm really starting to fall for him.

He dragged one of my bags and me to the cart, where everyone set their bags to be rolled off to the checking place. I waved goodbye to my bags, making the people around me laugh. I took a second look at who all was here. Collin and Timothy are going to be the two people I hang out with most. I can already tell that. Cindy was going to be the class A bitch for the trip. Sophia Graves was the quiet nerdy one. Ryan King and Caleb Smith are the class ' bad boys'. Eric Young and Amy Swartz are a couple, and are usually all over each other. That leaves Xanthee Patton, Trinity Mason, and Becca Adams to not get on my bad side. Other then the four I have pinned down as my optional trip buddies, all I have is Collin. Honestly, I don't really have a problem with that. Even before we were a- whatever this is- it wasn't hard to hang out with him. He has always been trustworthy and fun to hang out with.

“ Hey, Aves. Let's go. They're leaving and you're just staying, probably just dozing off as we speak.”

“ Very funny.” I gave him the death stare. “ Whatever. Whoa, were did everyone go?” He slapped his hand to his face and grabbed my hand to drag me off in to the airport. There were tunnels and elevators and metal detectors everywhere. I walked through the first one, making it go off like crazy. The red siren went off, making me jump and get pulled off to the side.

“ We just need to check your bag, ma'am. Do you have any metal piercings anywhere?”

“ Nose and four on my ears.” I showed the woman all of my piercings as she handed me my bag back and gave me the okay to go through again. It didn't go off this time, so I went ahead, waiting for Collin to get finished. Once he walked through, he was clear, so we headed to the second one, which was blocking the lobby where you waited fro your plane.

“ This one is broken. If you had metal on you in the last one, I need you to step to the left. If not, go through to the lobby.” I looked at Collin and begged him not to leave me.

“ Don't worry. I'm not leaving you.” We stepped to the side, almost getting pushed down by an old man with a hat on. Before rudely shoving me into Collin, he growled at me. Yeah, growled at me. Like with teeth and everything. Demon senior citizen... I thought he was going to bite me! If I had a spray bottle, I would have squirted him and said 'Bad man. NO!'

I growled back at him, after he left of course. He seriously would have bitten me if I growled back at him. When I growled, Collin looked at me and laughed himself to tears.

“ Haha, you would have done it too. He growled at me!”

“ Yeah, I know!” we both laughed as he slid his hand to my waist, holding me close to him.

We finally caught up to our group, sitting down in the lobby.

“ Our flight is taking us to Philadelphia, where we will be taking another plane to Madrid, Spain, which will be our last flight because it's taking us directly to Lisbon Portela Airport in Portugal. I would suggest partnering up now if you don't want to be left behind. Since you are all Juniors, I trust that you will make wise choices and not leave the group. Please stay together.” The airport intercom came on, telling us that our bags were on the plane and we were ready to go. I was about to board a plane taking me to Europe! The shock finally set in and I had to have Collin practically carry me to the place where you board the plane.

“ Just remember, I called window seat.” I pecked him on the lips and found our seat numbers. When I sat down, I saw that Timothy and Becca were sitting to our left. Mr. Evens was nowhere to be found, which means he's either way behind or way in front of our seats. We got lucky!

Too bad that Cindy was sitting directly- and I do mean directly- behind me, kicking me seat and popping her gum. This is going to be an interesting ride... Let's see who makes it out alive!
