Photos of her

Part 4

Ellari:

Why is it so hot in here? I could feel my heart beating faster with each step. I made it to my seat and put my bag under my seat, there is no way I'm putting it with someone else. Luckily I had a window seat so it wasn't so uncomfortable. I was staring out the window when I felt someone sitting beside me, I looked over and saw a guy looking back "hi' he said "hi" I replied

"your Ella right?'"

"Ellari actually, how do you know?"

"I'm Alas, August was telling us about you, you're my new roommate"

"I guess I am"

"you're adorable you know"

"I've heard it quite a lot today"

he chuckled a bit "It's true"

I smiled

"May I ask a question?" I asked

"you may"

"Are you Turkish by any chance?"

"yes I am actually, why"

"your name, I had a friend named Alas so I just assumed you were"

"Well, you assumed right, what are you?"

"Arab"

"Finally another middle eastern person in the group," he sounds relieved 

we spent a couple of minutes talking about our countries when august appeared and said something to Alas. I didn't know what they were saying but Alas took off his belt and got up "sorry to disappoint but I need to go accompany this baby, until next time cutie" he then left

why won't anyone stop calling me cute?

august said "sorry about that but he's switching with haze I swear if I spend another second with him I will jump off this plane"

'"He isn't that bad"

"you have no idea, I'll talk to you later" as soon as he left Haze appeared.

"Hey," he said sitting down

"hi"

"august made me switch"

"so I've heard, what did you do to annoy him?"

"Me? I didn't do anything he was the one that kept complaining about shit"

"what was he complaining about"

"I don't know I stopped listening after the first word"

"well that's a bit harsh"

"I'd rather slit my throat than listen to someone complain about the same nonsense for hours"

"Good to know"

Maybe I'll stay away from Haze. If he isn't the talking type I won't make him one.

soon after the captain's announcement was made saying we would be taking off soon. Then the safety talk started I'm definitely going to throw up, I tried staying calm but just ended up holding on to the armrests. A few minutes went by and we were taking off. I can feel my fluids moving around. Finally, we were going forward and not up. I opened my eyes and only then realized I wasn't holding on to the armrest, but an arm. I quickly removed it "sorry"

"you're good" "first time flying?"

"No, I've traveled as a child I just really hate take-offs, and it's my first time flying alone so that just adds to the stress"

"well you're not really alone right now"

Maybe I'll reconsider

We spent a bit talking about the places we've traveled, around 20 minutes in, earbuds started getting passed around, and that's when the conversation faded.

I spent the first hour trying to watch a very unentertaining movie then tried reading which made me even dizzier, so I ended up listening to music and trying to sleep. A few minutes passed and I felt something hit my shoulder, It was Haze's head, he was asleep, and his hair is poking my eye. I didn't want to wake him so I let him be.

Nearing the end of the flight, flight attendants went around picking up trash and telling people to put their stuff in the proper position. I took it as a sign to wake him up. I tried moving my shoulders a bit to shake, but that didn't work. I poked him ruffled his hair called his name, but nothing worked. a boy from the row beside me started laughing,

"Here let me" he then proceeded to spill his water on Haze, who immediately jumped up. Not the most ideal method but whatever works, work.

"what the hell" he first looked at me, I panicked and pointed at the guy who did it.

"were landing and the girl was trying to wake you, you were sleeping on her"

he looked back at me folding his arms, leaning back in his chair,

"Sorry"

"it's okay"
