I had my bag on my shoulder and my plane ticket looking for my seat.
I was walking behind MJ, Brad behind me, and in front of MJ was Hailey she's been hanging around me a lot lately. I mean I don't mind but she pushes a lot of conversations trying to get me to answer. I thought it was a little weird at first but I decided not to think anything of it.
"Yo, Parker" Flash says from the other side of the plane
"This is called an airplane. It's like the buses you're used to, except it flies over the poor neighborhoods instead of driving through them." He mocks Peter
"Ma'am" I call out to the flight attendant next to him. She turns around to look at me
"He Blipped, so technically he's 16 not 21." I tell her
Both MJ and I laugh as she takes the glass from him
"I'll take that." She says
"She's lying, I don't even know who she is" Flash says trying to get the drink back
We start walking again and I send Peter a glance before walking past. Brad right behind me and I hear him say
"Classic Bella right?" He says to Peter
I know Brad has a crush on me. I read his mind but even if I didn't, it's obvious.

"Hey Bella!" I hear Peter say and I turn around
"Do you want to sit over here? With uh me?" He asks saying the last part quite
"Oh Ned told me you guys were sitting together so I made plans to sit with MJ" I tell him
"Oh- oh it's ok" he says but i could tell he was disappointed
"Uh sorry. We can sit together on the way back" I suggest
"Uh yeah yeah that sounds good" he answers

I sit down next to MJ
"Hey you bring the book?" I ask MJ
"Yeah I got it. You?" She asks me
"Duhhh" I say. See MJ and I decided it would be fun for both of us to read the same book and to see who can read more. Just as we finished talking Ned comes up to us
"Hey, guys. There's an old lady in front of us wearing a crazy amount of perfume and it's kind of setting off Peter's allergies. Uh Betty or MJ, if you could switch seats with him that would be-"
"Peter has a perfume allergy?" I asked him
"Uhh yeah, yeah, because it makes his eyes water, and he can't really-" he starts to say
"Peter has a perfume allergy?" Mr. Harrington cuts him off
"Oh uh- " Ned stumbles over his words
"I'll tell you from experience, perfume allergies are no joke" Mr. Harrington said standing up
"I can feel hives breaking out already." He added
"Bella stand up" Mr. Harrington tells me
"Ned you take Bella's spot. Bella you take my spot. Peter come with me, let's get you out of there." He tells us
"Zach and Sebastian, you take Ned and Peter's seats" Mr. Harrington tells some class mates
"Ned thanks for bringing this to my attention. Your safety is my responsibility. And Mr. Dell's but- " he stops when he sees Mr.Dell asleep
"I got it for now. Let's go Peter!" He says

I unfortunately got sat next to Brad. He's not all bad but I honestly would rather not sit next to him.
After I got situated I got my book out and started reading. As I was reading Brad taps me on the shoulder
"I got a dual-headphone adapter if you want to watch a movie" he tells me
"Oh sure. It's gotta be action or comedy though"
I tell him
"Good afternoon, this is your captain speaking.
Our flight time will be eight hours, 49 minutes to Venice, Italy." The flight attendant says

After the plane landed I immediately went to find Peter Ned and MJ.
"-and laughing the entire time." I hear Peter say walking up to them
"Who was laughing?" I ask walking up
"No one! I mean, I'm sure it was someone-on the plane" Peter stumbles out
"Okay" I say then I see betty walking up to us
"Hey babe, Can you hold this for me please?" She says
"Yeah of course" Ned tells her
"Thanks" Betty said kissing him on the cheek
Both Peter and I looked at them both very confused
"What was that?" Peter says
"Yeah I'm really confused" I say
"Uh well we actually got to talk on the plane and it turns out we have a lot in common. So we're boyfriend and girlfriend now." Ned explains to us
"Huh" I say
"Whatever happened to being an American bachelor in Europe?" Peter asks
"A what now?" I ask
"Peter those were the words of a boy. And that boy met a woman. A very strong and powerful woman. And now that boy's a man." Ned says
"Babe?" Betty calls out
"Coming, babe." Ned says walking off
"Well that was something" I say to Peter as I just them together
"Yeah it was" he says still confused


We all got on a boat with a man calling out things in Italian. Which I understood considering I speak 15 languages. Probably the only good thing that came from Hydra and the serum.
I got out my camera pictures of everything. Little did I know while I was distracted, Peter had a soft smile on his lips watching me.

"Looks like we're here. They're doing renovations to the place" Mr. Harrington says
"Getting some upgrades." He adds
"Oh this is trash" Flash says it as is
"That must be the concierge" Mr. Harrington said.
"Everyone here we are." He calls out as we walk through the door
"Whoa, whoa, whoa" Mr. Dell says stepping in water. The whole place was flooded basically
"Tell me we're not staying here" Betty says
"This place is sinking." Flash says
"I think you mean charming" Mr. Harrington tells him
"It stinks." Flash says
"Okay everybody, drop your bags off" Mr. Dell tells us
"We're gonna meet at the da Vinci Museum at 3. Let's go!" He says more excited
''Vémonos! Mr. Harrington yells
"It's andiamo" I tell him
'''Andiamo!" He yells
"When in Rome do as the Romans do. When you're in Venice your socks get wet." He tells us
