Just killing time

Chapter 15

Tears started rolling down my face as I hugged my friends for the last time. Rebecca, Marie, Rosemary, Chris, Will, Ben, Tom and lots of other people were with us at the airport to say their farewells since we were traveling today for.. Probably forever. I hated goodbyes, I didn't like to think of my life without these certain people whom I will be leaving behind. Moving to a new country, a new house, a new school, and meeting new people, it's all together pretty hard. It's not like I'm bad at socializing with other people or that I am a freak, no that's not it, it's just that the whole idea it's self was sort of scary.

"Good afternoon passengers, this is the pre-boarding announcement for flight 56a to Los Angeles. Please proceed to gate 4, and have your boarding pass and identification ready. Regular boarding will begin approximately in 10 minutes, thank you " as we heard the flight attendant announce that, we waved goodbye to our friends and headed toward gate 4.

As I took a seat next to Dolan, memories started rushing in my head making me think of every single day I had there. There were good days and bad days, amazing moments and gloomy, bad moments but let's say I didn't remember those bad days very well. Yes, it's true I was scared of traveling and having a new life in America but the good thing, that amazing thing that kept me hopeful and happy is that Kim was coming with us. He was returning back to his home town, friends and school, that's what he said.

I ran holding my suitcase and all my bags until I reached the main gate of the airport. I then slowed down and stepped out of the moving glassy gate and screamed "AMERICA!! I AM FINALLY HERE!!" It's true I'm a shy girl but that didn't stop me from shouting and showing my happiness when reaching there . For the first time I wasn't bothered with how people shot me weird glares but instead I was happy and I didn't even care about that .

***********
We have arrived yesterday to Los Angeles and I had already made up a plan for today, more correctly, Kim was the one who planned everything. The plan was all about visiting his best friends, the boys, and having fun with them.

I changed from my pajamas into a pair of blue shorts, a blue flannel with a black tank top underneath it and a pair of black slip-on vans. As for my hair I curled it and let it cascade down on my back. Next, I went downstairs to open the door since I heard the bell ring.

"Hey lollipop!" Kim saluted me.
"Hi Kimmi," I replied.
"Ready to go?" He asked though I think he knew the answer.
"Sure!" I answered cheerfully.
We then walked away from my new house toward his friends house. Actually, the O'Briens house, our house and Kim's best friends house were in the same town, only one block away from each other.

As we reached their house my heart started beating so fast and I felt anxious. I don't why but I wasn't feeling confident at that moment, I felt that something was going to go wrong and that I will mess everything up.

"Diana, is it me or you look magnificent today?!" he said
"Well, probably both." I giggled.
"That's better," he said as he looked at me smile "keep smiling girl." I didn't know if he felt that I wasn't confident but his words made me so much better, they were just what I needed.

Kim rang the bell and then inserted the key and opened the door. As we walked in, everything seemed so calm and cool until we found ourselves covered up with white, blue soap. "Welcome back!!!" A handsome guy with honey eyes and light brown hair exclaimed. "Justin!! I missed you man." Kim said as they both did the bro hug. Justin is as old as Kim and they are sort of, the same height.
"So who's the hot girl?" Justin asked as he looked at me with a cute cheesy smile drawn on his face.
"Justin, this is Diana, my girl best friend. Diana, this is Justin," Kim said. Justin then went in ohhhh and started apologizing for getting me covered up with soap though it wasn't that bad.
