hungry - paxton h.y.

I open me and Devi's texts and go straight to the "facetime" option and set my phone against a wall. She picks up the phone on the last ring, kinda weird for her but whatever.

"You woke me upp" She complains, groaning. 

Well that explains it, I reason "Yeah, yeah your life's sooo hard boo-hoo. So sorry I wanted to check in with my sister" I say in a sarcastic tone then force my face into my signature "puppy dog face", as Devi likes to call it.

"NO. STOP. That doesn't work on me." She puts her hands over her eyes, because even though she won't admit it, it works wonders on her. "Ok. Serious talk now. We only call when we have big news." She says and I crack a smile, which makes her launch a whole guessing games, "Did someone in your dorm group get arrested. Wait no that already happened. Unless.." She starts to sit up, her excitement acting as instant coffee,"Ok wait is there a boy?" I can't help but laugh at how far off she is. Her tone becomes 10x more upbeat, which I didn't even know was possible, "OH MY GOD THERE IS. I THOUGHT YOU'D NEVER GET OVER HARRY!!!!! IM SO EXCITEDDDD" she shrieks.

My mood is ruined by her bringing up him. And she can definitely tell from the look on her face. "Listen Dev. I don't have a boyfriend, and I don't think I'm getting one anytime soon. I'm just not ready. I think you'll like my actual news way more than that anyways." Her faded smile quickly reappears on her face and I can tell she's bouncing with anticipation, "I'm moving home... TOMORROW!" I declare.

She lets out a scream and starts ranting, "WHAT. You knew this for HOW long and didn't tell me????" I start to explain and she cuts me off, "Whatever that doesn't matter. OH MY GOD you're gonna be SO cool!! Maybe you can help me finally get noticed by Paxton!", she tells me hopefully. I roll my eyes at the mention of the boy; Devi's been obsessed since the 5th grade and she won't give any guy a chance. Honestly, he's cute, but WAY overhyped. His insta's like a whole ass thirst trap.

"Dev you know I don't like him." As expected, she rolls her eyes at me

"Of course you'd say that Dee, you can get any guy, any day. I can't" She explains to me. Now it was my turn to roll my eyes. I hate when she degrades herself.

"Ok whatever." I let out a sigh of frustration. I HATE fighting. The call is silent on both ends for a few long seconds, I decide to break the silence, "Anyways.. wanna call me while I pack?", I offer

"Eh, sure why not", she replies

... We spend hours talking and packing before I look at my phone and realize how late it is. "Alright Dev, I'm gonna go crash! Love ya! See you tomorrow!" I wink

"Love y-" I cut her off mid sentence and let out a soft giggle, I love doing that.

*BEEEEEP* *BEEEEP* *BEEP* I smack my hand on top of my alarm clock. God why did I get such a fucking loud one. I yank myself out of bed and walk to my bathroom. The sounds of pee hit the toilet bowl hard and I feel instant relief. I walk over to the sink, wash my hands, and aggressively wash my teeth; gotta keep up with my best feature. I close the bathroom door, open my closet and begin to scan through my many options. I eventually settle on a simple hot pink aviator nation tracksuit. Perfect. I glance down and my phone and realize how little time I have left. I quickly open the uber app and run out the door.

I scan every license plate the speeds past me until I finally find the one I'm looking for. "For Nalini?" I question; I have to use my mom's account because it saves money or some sorta thing.

The uber driver lets out a grunt, which I guess signals a "yes", He then pulls my many suitcases away from me and into the trunk. When all suitcases are stowed away, I hop in and he starts to drive.

"Extra tip if you get me there early" I tell him and he immediately picks up the car's pace. I admire Europe scenery as we zoom past it, I'll miss this so much.

Before I know it, the car window becomes that of my first class plane window, compliments of our family friend (aka the boarding school owner), Mom would never spend the money for it. I put my airpods in and shuffle my playlist. My eyes flutter close and I drift off.

I am woken my a friendly flight attendant shaking me, "Excuse me ma'am, would you want some dinner?" I smile at her

"Dinner would be great; thank you so much." She begins to list all the options but I cut her off, "I'm great with whatever, surprise me!"

After I eat, I drift back to sleep, and wake up again when there's about an hour left on the flight. I use the free wifi and open my texts

Dev Dev❤️❤️- On our way now!!! Can't wait!!!!!!

I quickly send her some hearts and swipe out of the app, and onto tiktok. After what felt like a second of scrolling, we were finally landing! I rush to be the first out the doors and speed past through all the procedures. When I finally see Devi I run and hug her. It feels warm, like home.

"Where's mom?" I wonder

"Got stuck at the practice again" Of course she did. She always does.

"Ok well, anyways let's go home I'm TIRED." She lets out a laugh and we walk to the exit of the airport
