Airplanes & Music Notes L.H

Chapter 1

I never planned on the events that played out the year I decided to study abroad. It was supposed to be school, work, and get home as soon as possible, but the events that played out that year changed my life in ways I could have never imagined.

I remember waking up early on a Monday morning at four thirty. Mom had just barged into my room screaming "Lauren get up!" I rolled out of bed and threw my brown hair up into a bun. I was planning on putting no effort into today's outfit what so ever. Some baggy sweats and a t-shirt with my white converse are what I decide to wear. "Mom are you making breakfast?" I question as I walk down stairs dragging my two suitcases of clothes. "Hun you have no time to eat, we have like 30 minutes to get to the airport before your flight leaves." She replied back as she handed me a piece of toast covered in Nutella.

"Mom I'm really going to miss you." I said as I hugged them. "Flight 228 to Melbourne Australia is now boarding at gate 52." I heard a lady shout. "Well that my cue." I told them. "Honey, please try and be more social when you get out there." My dad said as I hugged him. "I will pops don't worry." I told him as I hugged him. I grabbed my backpack and started off toward the gate. Bye North Carolina and hello Australia.

 "Hi, I believe my ticket says seat 12."I say as I notice a boy with brownish blondish hair sitting down in what was clearly my seat. "Excuse me?" I question as I tap him on the shoulder. "I'm sorry sweet heart what was that?" he says as he slides his headphones out his ears.

 "You're in my seat." I say again. "My bad, here go ahead and sit down then." He says as he moves seats so I can take my seat next to the window. "Can I help you?" I say as I look over and see he's still staring at me. "I-I'm sorry your just, you look familiar." He says "I'm Luke...Luke Hemmings." He reply's as he reaches his hand out. "I'm Lauren." I say as I shake his hand. "So where you head-""Yo ash my man there is a hot-well who the lovely brunette bro?" a boy questions. "This is Lauren." Luke says. "Nice to-""sir can you take your seat were about to take off." A flight attendant yells.

I hold back a laugh as I sit and pull my laptop out. I put my headphones in as Darlin' by Avril Lavigne started to play. "Darlin', you're hiding' in the closet once again start smiling', I know you're trying' real hard not to turn your head away, pretty Darlin' face tomorrow, tomorrow's not yesterday." I hum along with the music till I feel a tap on my shoulder. I look over and see Luke staring. "Can I help you?" I question as I remove and ear bud. "You were just singing rite now." He says. "Oh I-I'm sorry, I know I'm terrible, you ears must hurt and now look at me I'm just rambling on and on. Is it hot in here or what?" I say. Oh my god Lauren shut up your diarrhea of the mouth is acting up again.
