"Ah, are you travelling alone, dear?"
"Yeah, I'm moving in with my dad."
The flight from California to Japan was over eleven hours long- eleven hours stuck in a metal tube miles above the earth. Katsumi wasn't too bothered, though. She'd just pop in her AirPods, listen to music, maybe sleep, or read a book. That was the plan, at least.
"Wow, and you're flying first class?" The flight attendant handed her a bag of chips she had just bought.
Katsumi's mom had given her a credit card to book the flight, too busy to take even ten minutes to help her fifteen-year-old daughter with it. Katsumi didn't care much. She booked an economy aisle seat and forgot about it.
"My dad offered to upgrade my ticket," Katsumi smiled, accepting the food.
Once her father had offered to pay for a better seat, her mum became much more interested in the ticket. After a heated phone call, her mom angrily reminded her ex that she could afford to pay for their daughter's flight herself, and they split the cost of one first-class ticket. Seemed having parents who didn't like each other could be beneficial sometimes.
Now, Katsumi was comfortably settled in a private cubicle equipped with a lounge chair and a TV- far better than being crammed next to an old man or a crying baby.
"How sweet of him! I bet he's excited to see you," the attendant said with a warm smile, Katsumi wondered if she actually cared or just wanted a conversation with someone more interesting than the sour-faced old men and woman who sat in the other seats. "I'll be back shortly with the dinner menu. Enjoy your flight!"
Katsumi smiled as the attendant left. She leaned back and pulled out her old 3DS, loading up an old Pokémon game, switching the language to Japanese to practice before she landed. She was fluent (speaking wise at least), having lived in Japan until she was eight, but it had been a while since she'd read much in Japanese. No worries—she had nearly six months before the entrance exam, plenty of time to brush up.
By hour five, she began to get restless. The meal break had helped break up the long flight, but she hated sitting still for too long, especially in cramped spaces. While her cubicle offered privacy, it also felt a little suffocating. She ended up just half-watching movies till they landed.
By the time they landed, it was 9 PM. Katsumi yawned as she stepped off the plane, offering a quick "thank you" to the flight attendants. She slung her carry-on over her shoulder and headed to baggage claim.
After being so cramped up for eleven hours and getting little sleep, she felt sluggish. The bags would take a while to arrive, so she pulled out her phone. As soon as she connected to the airport Wi-Fi, notifications flooded in—all from the same contact.
