"well hello to you too" nai scoffed from the other end of the phone. "where are you?"
"at baggage claim!" she whined, checking the time. 11:46pm. just great.
"no way! was the flight really delayed that long?"
"mhm" she tapped her foot against the floor impatiently. "i'm fucked, wil can only keep him entertained for so long"
"just take a deep breath and chill for a bit, 'kay?—even if you don't get to surprise him at exactly 12 doesn't make your other surprises any less"
"i know i kno—oh! my bag!" she was quickly distracted by the bright blue suitcase slowly moving along in a sea of other bags and cases.
"good, now run, is james still picking you up?"
"no! the dumbass forgot and had a couple of beers—but aria offered to come instead"
"oh my god! she's so hot"

"good luck babes, i can't wait to hear all about it"
"thanks bub, talk soon" as she wished her goodbyes to nailea and slid into the car with aria she glanced at the time again. 11:51, they could maybe—just maybe—make it in time.

stevie took a deep breath. everything she'd worked so hard for was finally coming too fruition. she took a few extra online classes and graduated early, which was a massive achievement on its own. but then to top it all off she worked her ass off on her college applications and got accepted into brighton university.
