Em's POV
After a half hour delay the plane finally takes off. The pilot didn't specify why though. My thoughts immediately start spiraling. What if the engine caught on fire? What if the wings broke? What if the plane is gonna blows up?! I fumble as I take out the overpriced gum I got from one of the vending machines. The peppermint blast calms me down as I clutch Llama and shut my eyes so tight I could see colors like a kaleidoscope.
Llama used to be my brother's favorite stuffed animal but when I was four years old he was diagnosed with stage five kidney failure. So my father gave him his kidney but they both passed away on the operating table. So I stole Llama from his messy room so I can never forget him.
Around and hour into the flight, a short red headed lady was handing out those cookies you usually get on planes (the Biscoff ones). I smiled when she handed me one as a thank you gesture not wanting to make noise. I unwrapped it ever so slowly, trying not to make too annoyed the passengers around me. I've always hated annoying people. I call myself a people pleaser but others call me a perfectionist. Rude!
I later took out my phone and started playing my 27 hour musical favorites playlist. I turned on shuffle and What I Did For Love (love that one) started blaring in my ears. I quickly turned it down not wanting to annoy the person next to me. Soon enough though, I was lost in the lyrics...
Kiss today goodbye
The sweetness and the sorrow
Wish me luck, the same to you
And I won't forget
What I did for love
What I did for love
Gone love is nev-
"Hey!" The person next to me started tapping my shoulder snapping me back into reality. "The plane just landed." I took my earbuds out and looked out the window. I thought the airport would've been much bigger due to all the planes on the runway. As I made my way off the aircraft I took my phone off of airplane mode to reveal 1 missed call and 5 messages from the director Jeff.
2:34pm
Jeff (important one):
I just realized. You have no idea where you are going!
I have sent two cast members to pick you up at baggage claim
They are the ones Who will be acting like Idiots
They will be holding A sign with 'Lyds' on it
You are in airplane, mode aren't you?
4:02pm
Emily:
Hi Jeff! Yeah my phone was on airplane mode. Thank you for the heads up!
I'm on my way to baggage claim!
I walked through the overwhelming corridors. Lights flashing everywhere you look while the amount of people and noise was suffocating. Finally, after getting lost three times, I found baggage claim but I didn't see anyone looking overly stupid. I'm sure he was just exaggerating! I retrieved my white suitcase. I had put a purple Pom Pom on the handle and a NEDA symbol sticker in the top left corner, so I knew it was mine.
I still hadn't seen the two people, whoever they were. So I walked over to a ball playground like the ones you see at children's museums. I noticed two guys, probably in their early twenties late teens, staring at the little yellow ball as it bounced, pounced, twisted and turned.
In the blonde boys right hand I saw a blue sign with red glitter everywhere saying 'Lyds!' I was shocked. "Damn, they really are idiots."
"What did you say to me?" The blonde one said in a deep, confident voice. I thought I said it in my head!
"Yeah, what did you say to him?" The brunette one added mimicking the other one.
"Uhhh...... that Jeff was right, you guys are idiots." I said with a little skepticism yet also confident, weird I know!
The brunette seemed to notice my zip up and started whispering to blondy. They ran over to a clearing and started doing a whole dance routine with dive rolls, flips and jumps!
"Welcome!!!!" They said in sync as if they were singing. I just stood there frozen. "Sooooooo what did ya think?!"
"I certainly wasn't expecting that....... So your the to cast mates Jeff sent to set a good example?"
"That would be us!" Blondy said. "I'm Ben and this is Josh. I play Racetrack and he plays Jojo and Darcy. Let me guess, you're Emily?"
"Just call me Em," I said. "So where is our hotel?"
"Right this way!" Josh said dramatically. Ben took my suitcase from my grasp. The cold October air hit me like a slap in the face. A chill creeped up my spine as we walked on the eerie sidewalk.
"So, Em, were you from?" Ben asked breaking the silence.
"I'm originally from Maine but when I was ten I moved to Boston." I said fidgeting with my ring yet making sure I didn't drop it.
"Oh my gosh I'm from Massachusetts!!" Josh practically yelled. He started doing a little "happy dance" which I thought was cute!
The sky was a deep reddish orange. The clouds seemed like blended graphite trying to hide the sky and all of its beauty. That's like me. My thoughts cover my true self. The true Em.
I everyone!!!!! How's it going??? I know this story sucks but whatever. Please comment your thought on this book for improvements or suggestions. Love you!!!!!! :D
