Cruel World, Lana del Rey

I am eighteen years old and wearing a plaid skirt, boots, and an oversized grey sweater. Instead of sharpening my chess skills or preparing for the Lifetimes Tournament Tour, I'm standing in line for an economy-class ticket to Texas at Frankfurt Airport. The old man had to kick the bucket while I was prepping for some of the most important tournaments of my life.

Since I found out I can't believe it. There is no way he would go like this. I'm sure he's just faking it. I refuse to believe it.

"McNarma, Belladonna!" The flight attendant calls out through the gate, and I begrudgingly move towards her, dragging my silver Tumi behind me.

"Hi, I believe you called my name?"

"You're Belladonna?"

No kidding. "Just Bella is fine."

"Great! We just wanted to let you know you've been upgrading to first class and will be boarding now."

What? Why? "Really?"

"You must have friends in some very high places." The flight attendant smiles, then waves her arm towards the tunnel. "Right this way ma'am."

Suddenly, a text comes through, my phone illuminating with Xander's name.

Xan: Have you connected to the complimentary wifi yet?
Bells: I can't BELIEVE you did this

Xan: just needed to make sure my bestie got here safe and sound

Bells: Oh, haha

Xan: My sincerity is genuine!

Bells:...xan, what's going on?

Xan: well, on your way back from the airport would you be partial to pls stop by that good bakery and getting some scones

Bells: XAN WTF

Bells: IS THAT ALL YOU CAN THINK ABOUT RN?

Bells: god dang, xan

Bells: Hey! I like it here
