flight friend • chris sturniolo

i was on a flight back home from california. i went to visit some old friends but now am excited and thrilled to be returning home to boston after a looonnngggg trip.

i was flying by myself which worried me a bit. i have really bad anxiety and am not great flying alone, especially siting next to random people who i don't know.

after i checked in, i went through security and it was going smoothly. after i got done with security i went to get some coffee and a croissant because it was 3 in the morning and i was STARVING.

(lol that was kinda rushed but oh well)

after i ate my food i headed to my gate and sat down to charge my phone. i was super comfy and relaxed in my hoodie and sweatpants. there was barely anyone around except one guy, he was kind of average height, (for a guy) and had long-ish brown hair that looked as soft as silk and a bit wavy.

he looked content and tired. i took notice and then continued back to my phone. the flight boarded in about an hour and i had nothing to do except go on my phone. i was fine with waiting anyways.

( time skip )

it was about boarding time so i got ready and waited till they called my boarding section.

once i got called i went up and gave them my boarding pass, they scanned it letting me go in.

i found my seat, near the back. no one was sitting in that row yet so i took my seat near the window. a couple of minutes later, an old guy showed up, taking a seat in the middle.

as we were getting ready to take off a flight attendant approached me and told me that another guy was going switch with the old guy.

the guy showed up and i recognized him from before, at the boarding gate. he sat down, wearing a hoodie and sweatpants.

when he got settled he told me how he recognized me from the boarding gate, i told him the same and we kind of just started talking and chatting.

"nu uh there's no way you're a triplet. that's insane"

"yup."

"damn, that's crazy"

"yeah. so are you heading out to boston on a trip or heading home?"

"heading home, you?"

"home too"

"where in boston do you live?"

"*make up something 🤗🤗*"

"no way???!?? actually?!"

"yeah, why?"

"shut up- i live super close to there. i bet i could walk to your house"

"no way"

"here i'll show you," i say and pull out google maps showing him my house."

"SHUT. UP. IVE LITERALLY WALK BY THAT DAMN HOUSE LIKE EVERYDAY"

"STOP"

"oh my god" we both started laughing and then exchanged phone numbers and socials.

"damn you have like- so many followers"

"haha yeah, me and my brothers have a youtube channel and stuff"

"no way, that's so cool. here what's ur channel, i'll sub"

"haha you don't have to"

"no no i want to"

"alright then" he said and showed me their channel.

the whole plane ride we continued to talk and laugh and tell jokes. there was something about him that i cant quite put my finger on. he made me feel... safe- in a way. i know that probably sounds weird cus i literally just met him, but it's true. i felt like we had a click.

we finally landed and exited the plane. "we should definately hang out sometime and you can meet my brothers! you might even be featured in one of our videos" he laughed,

"haha for sure tho, text me!!"

"of course" he says and gives me a hug. i hug him back tightly and we part ways. i look back as does he and return smiles to each other. i turn my head back and the smile stays.

i shake my head and continue to smile.

what a flight.
