I sat crossed leg on the floor ticking the boxes of my checklist for stuffs I'll need for our weekend stay at Martha's place.
Yeah Martha was going back home to Ottawa and since I was feeling homesick I decided to tag along after a lot of convincing from her side.

"Check" I ticked the last box. I was done packing. Our flight was tomorrow 4am and thinking as it is a 12 hour flight we would reach Ottawa at 4 pm enough time to get dinner.

I dragged my mini but not all that mini purple Louis Vuitton suitcase to the middle. Martha did same with her suitcase and place her carryon bag on top of it.

"Whew!" I cleaned the imaginary sweat off my forehead and jumped on my bed. Martha had turned the room lights off and soon sleep found me.

My eyes were wide opened at 2 am and I knew why. I was that kind of person who wouldn't sleep when I know I had a dawn journey. I picked my phone from charge and visited my wattpad to continue my book.

3:00 am. I went to the washroom and took a shower and brush my teeth.

I got dressed into a black halter neck v neck top and black pleated tennis skirt and paired it with my air Jordan 4 retro white Oreo sneakers. It was 3:30 when o decided to wake Martha up

I shook her awake.
"You're up already? And dressed too. " she looked at me now wide awake and scurried into the bathroom.
We sat on our beds waiting for the campus ride.

Martha wore a white mom jeans and black long sleeve basic crop top with a Jordan 1 low panda.
"He's here." I announced

We shuffled down the hall to spot our ride. He got out of the car to help us place our luggages in the trunk.

Martha laid her head on my shoulder while I scrolled through my emails working,yeah I said working. Aside schooling I was also a well known brand influencer but not very well known. In Coastal Carolina no one had recognized me and I was glad.
I replied some of the emails and ignored others.

We had arrived at the airport as we navigated our way to our airline terminal. We passed through the check in and security,arriving at our gate. We hurried to join the queue, we then found our seats and placed our carry-on bag in the overhead bin.

I put my eye mask on and drifted to sleep.

Martha and I took selfies. I saw that she had posted them into the group which contained of us two and Rachael.

I went back to my story on wattpad, I slept, read and that's what I did the whole 12 hour flight and finally we had landed.

Martha's uncle came for us the airport. He asked as how our flight was, about school just small talks here and there till we reached their house. He dragged our suitcases inside as we followed behind him. Martha and I made our way to the kitchen to greet her aunt. She hugged Martha then me.

"You girls are probably feeling jet lagged, why don't you go upstairs mm." We nodded as I returned the smile she gave me.

Martha's parents are divorced. Her dad is in the Netherlands with his new wife and their daughter whiles Martha's mom is in Hawaii her hometown. Her dad took her from her mom and she has been staying with her aunt and uncle since. Her parents are not at all civil they got divorced on bad terms.

When it was 6pm we were all gathered at the dining area to have dinner. We had poutine for dinner.

I was on a FaceTime with my sister Darryl. So far she was the only one who knew where I was and she promised to keep it a secret. I was to help her choose an outfit for her roommate's birthday dinner. She hang up the dresses in the air so I could have a look.
