My Summer On Omaha Island | Sammy Wilkinson

Flight

She stopped the car and we both got out.

We went to the trunk and grabbed my suitcases. We each grabbed a large one and a small one.

She followed me inside to find the rest of my class.

And come on, they were't that hard to find. Just a huge, loud group of kids in the middle of an airport.

"Okay, this is it" I said placing my luggage on the floor. My Mom placed my suitcases next to the other ones and opened her arms out wide.

I wrapped my arms around her neck and brought her in for a tight hug.

She snuggled her head into the crook off my neck and I rested mine on her shoulder.

"Stay in contact, update me on everything, be careful, be safe, talk to me on the trip baby girl" She whispered.

"I will Mama, I will tell you everything that happens each day In a text before I go to bed" I said back.

"I love you Danielle and I hope you have the best Summer ever"!

"I love you Mama, take care of Zeus and take care of yourself. Party, go out to the club, have a good Summer"!

"I will try" She said sniffing.

I leaned away and wiped her tears. She planted a soft kiss on my cheek.

"Bye" We both said in sync.

I smiled and waved before grabbing my luggage and walking up to my group of friends.

I turned around and saw her walking to the entrance of the airport, wiping her tears.

I frowned and went back to facing my friends.

"DANI" I heard a familiar voice yell.

I turned my head and saw my best friend.

"JULIE" I yelled back.

I embraced my best friend, smiling.

"I am so excited for the....best...Summer....ever" She squealed.

"I'm excited to see some Omaha Cuties" my friend Scott grinned.

"I am excited to get my tan game on" Sophia, my cheer friend said.

"I am excited to learn about the culture" Jason said. He is our friend, but also a nerd.

"You killed it" Carson laughed.

"Okay, Class of 2015, We are about to board the plane so cellphones on airplane mode and gather all your belongings" The Chaperone, Susan yelled over all of us. She is the Guidance Counselor.

We all quieted down and lined up to board the game.

"I cannot wait for this trip, it is going to be AMAZING" My worst enemy Carla said, giggling with all of her friends.

She was also on the cheer team, but we were always in competition with each other. I hate her with a true passion and that will never change.

*10 Minutes Later*

We were all settled in our seats. I next to the window and Julie to my side.

We were listening to music on her phone and taking pictures on mine.

"I cannot wait to land" I said resting me head on her shoulder.

"Yeah, hopefully we will be in the same house area" Julie smiled.

With that I shut my eyes and slowly fell asleep...

*Arrival*

"Dani, get up, we landed" Julie said shaking my shoulder and arm.

I groaned and looked up. I saw the class started to exit the plane.

I rubbed my eyes, got up and followed Julie and everyone else off.

Once off we all went to the baggage claim to get our suitcases.

I grabbed all four of my luggage and stood by my friends side.

"Okay so that was a long Day and a half flight. Everyone get a good stretch and whiff of the air because we have more traveling to do. We technically are not on the island yet. we are gonna go to a big boat and sail our way there. This is how travelers do it" Mr.Mason, the principal said.

We all groaned because all of us were tired. I fell asleep for a good hour or three, but then I could not sleep the rest of the rough flight.

We left the airport and into a huge bus. I sat next to Scott and Julie.

We looked out the window and admired our surroundings.

I texted my Mother telling her that we are not there yet and all we had to do was boat.

I rested my head on Scott's shoulder and sighed.

"When is the Vacation gonna start" I whispered.

"I do not know, but it better hurry" Julie added.

*15 Minutes Later*

The bus stopped and we all grabbed our stuff and exited the bus.

I was shocked when I saw our transportation route and vehicle.

We had to go on medium sized motor boats that could hold up to at least 5-6 people at the most.

"We have 40 of you and only 5 boats. So we have to split you into 8 groups. Go with your friends and we will select our groups" Ms.Harper, the other guidance counselor said.
