"All of our seats are next to each other right?"
"Yeah, you guys are seats 17A and 17B, us three are 16ABC. You'll just be right behind us."
"Are Angie and Zoe still in the bathroom? We're going to miss our flight at this point."
Lauren, EJ, and Bella all hovered outside of the sign labeled "WOMEN" in slate grey and white font. For the past three minutes, they've been waiting for Angie and Zoe to finish getting in their hourly blaze in the handicap stall.
The pair came out with arms linked, posture too perfect, and eyes a little too wide. They weren't going to totally blown their cover, but the constant flinching and over-exaggerated attempt at looking sober didn't do them any justice.
"I genuinely don't know how you guys can't wait until we get on the plane, I'd be way too paranoid trying to board like that." said EJ, with slight worry in her tone.
"Yeah, imagine if you fall between the plane and the boarding walkway straight onto the pavement outside." Laughed Lauren.
"Wait are you serious can that actually happen stop," Angie panicked.
"Why don't you ever do this to Bella? She's literally ripping in the middle of the food court, she didn't even bother to follow us inside the bathroom!" Zoe followed.
"Because Bella doesn't fall for it, when are you gu-"
"The 3AM Flight to Barbados will be boarding in 5 minutes. Please prepare to present necessary documentations and tickets now."
The group of five ended up getting on the plane fine, at least for the most part. You might be wondering why they're all boarding a flight to Barbados. A spontaneous vacation? Pretty much. Lauren Travers won an all expenses paid trip to Barbados for five through an online competition hosted by a thirst-trap tiktokker. The challenge was to consume as many greek yogurts as you could within a three minute limit, and Lauren Travers won the prize with an astounding 37 empty yogurt containers at her feet. Crazy enough, Zoe wasn't the only greek thing Lauren loved in her day-to-day life.
Angie sat by the window seat, Zoe on her left, and Ej linked onto Zoe's. Lauren and Bella would sit in the two seats in-front of them, with the aisle seat taken by a middle aged man dressed like Fonzo.
Bella perked up at the sight of two familiar faces joining the array of passengers on the plane.
"Zoe, Lauren, look." Bella pointed.
"Oh Jesus Christ." Lauren sighed. "Out of every place we could see them, are you serious."
Zoe stared with a stern look on her face, she scowled, and then hide back into her seat to prevent further confrontation.
Who were they looking at? Surprise Surprise! Liam Payne and Drake Bell also boarded the plane. Suddenly this trip became a lot less of a stressless get-a-way. Get-a-way from our ex's.
While everybody knows that Lauren and Drake didn't end on bad terms, what happened between Zoe and Liam? I thought the two were the lovey-dovey couple of everyone's dreams?
A month before the trip, Zoe walked in on Liam naked and covered in her entire supply of honey mustard in their shower. He was crawled into a ball and sobbing. Zoe converted all her life-savings converted into honey mustard after the economic depression caused by the pandemic. In a flash, $19,500 dollars in assets were covered on a naked, hairy, unhygienic British man.
Zoe's knees buckled and she fell to the ground, with the palms of her hands gripping the meat on her face. She didn't know what to say, think, or feel. She looked Liam right in the eye, did a slashing motion with her hands, and threw him out of her apartment. Ever since then, she's been horrified to see him since.
Angie pinched Zoe really hard to bring her back to reality. Sometimes Zoe would randomly drift into that memory of when she opened the bathroom door. It's her biggest regret, having a bathroom door.
Drake and Liam instantly caught sight of their ex-lovers and froze like a deer in headlights. It seemed they didn't intentionally plan this and were avoiding the two as well.
"Welcome all passengers thank you so much for boarding LGBT Airlines. This trip to Barbados will be so slay and amazing yass so glad to be here with you all. Our departure time is 3:36AM and I hope to make this a very woke flying experience for you all."
