//A/N//: Hey so this is my first story so please bear with me as I have never written anything for anyone ever. this story will most likely be trash but whateves I wanted to try it :P also, this is going to totally be cringy and basic but hey, I'm trying here. 

Feel free to give me some feedback. Lord knows I need it :/    - s 


...

I wake up abruptly to someone shaking my shoulder lightly. not fully awake I look around my surroundings in confusion, having no recollection of where I am ... until I look at the slightly irritated flight attendant. Ah, she's very scary.

"Ma'am we've landed. You might want to get off the plane," she says with a look that's telling me that I better get out of the plane. 

"Oh, sorry!" I say as I quickly get my carry-on backpack from the overhead compartment and exit the plane out of fear of what sass that lady can unleash on a poor 17-year-old. 

Jeez, some people are just so terrifying. this is exactly why I hate leaving the house... As I speed-walk over to the baggage dispenser, I'm already mortified at the possibility of the many ways I can and will embarrass myself. Give me a break okay? I may be a senior in high school but I am in no means ready for life yet. I've never done this alone. Someone, please tell me why my mom trusts me this much to go on my own to California for Thanksgiving break. Luckily, I spot my suitcase and get it before anyone gets any ideas of stealing it - hey, it's happened before, unfortunately. 

While walking away I feel my phone buzz in my pocket. Pulling it out, I see multiple texts from my sister:

cRiPpLe💅 - oi have you landed yet? 

cRiPpLe💅- text me when you do

cRiPpLe💅- dude there's this very scary pedophile-looking old man standing oddly close to me...you better hurry up before he snatches me 

Oh of course, Casey would say something like that. While laughing to myself I quickly type out a response just in case she's being serious.

PIPES💃 - maybe he just wants a lil sniff of you haha

PIPES💃- yes i have landed. where r u?

cRiPpLe💅- eww no thanks. praise the lord he walked away 🙏

cRiPpLe💅- uhh i think i'm at the pick-up area, idk walk towards the exit and there's no way you'd miss me 😉

PIPES💃- wow you are no help whatsoever...also wdym by that?🤨

cRiPpLe💅- you'll see😘

Fuck. What has she done this time? I put my phone back into my pocket and walk to where I hope the exit is. Yeah, this is most definitely it, there's a dude that was on my plane who is in a very public reunion. Bleh. I definitely need to bleach my eyes. Now where is Cas- Oh fuck no. She is going to be the reason I end it.

Standing there with a sign that has my name on it are two people in blow-up shark costumes. Not only that but they are holding what has got to be two dozen balloons. 

Fuck my life. Maybe I can just walk past them and they won't see me? Nah no definitely not. If I do that, I will most definitely get tackled to the floor. 

Accepting my fate, I walk up to the sharks with my face down. Feeling the eyes of so many people as I make it to the horrible person that I call my sister. 

"Hey Pyper, how are you doing this fine day?" Casey greets me, a smirk evident on her face although I cannot see it, I know it's there. 

"Oh you know, I'm just kind of feeling like murdering someone. But other than that I am doing just dandy. Hey Tom" I say as I wave to the second shark.

"Sup Pipes, how was the flight?" Tom/Thomas my sister's boyfriend asks.

"It was fine, I could've gone without the flight attendant wanting to cuss me out but you know, can't have everything."

"Niceee I woulda paid to see that. 'Kay so we gotta go or else we're going to be late for your audition, also I gotta text Mom saying that you've landed and that I have not irresponsibly misplaced you. So let's get out of these sharks Tom so we can go." Casey says while turning the ventilator off of her suit.

As they are getting out of their suits and folding them up, I am now reminded of why I am even here in the first place.
