Chapter 5

Ellie

Its finally the day, we are going to Spain. The morning is filled with rushing and yelling. Strategies and plans.

but as soon as we are all checked in and waiting in the lounge. Everyone can slightly relax. Right now, I'm sitting with my little sister Maesi. Scrolling on my phone, watching the time flick by. Itching for it too hit 8:00 am, so we can board the flight. Its 7:50 now.

" mom I need to tell you something" I hear Maesi say. "for fucks sake Maesi" my mom says grabbing her arm. "we are going to the bathroom, Dave and Sam can you look after our carry ons" she announces, not a question, but an order. Yeah, she definitely hasn't relaxed a bit. I see her out of the corner of my eye, leaving and taking Maesi with her. great there goes the person I'm supposed to be sitting with.

The flights were booked in pairs. I obviously wanted to sit with Maesi because, kylie would obviously be sitting with her fiancé. But that plan is definitely out the window now. I'll just sit with Sam or my dad.

"flight 935 to Spain is boarding now".

"come on everyone let's go" Joe says waking up his wide sandy. They are like my second set of parents. As we get in the line to scan our tickets, Reece comes and stands next to me. I don't know what his sudden need to be friends is all about, but he needs to cut it out.

"Hey Elles" he says as the line moves forward, don't call me that I say in my mind. I decide its best to just ignore him. It's too early to be dealing with Reece's antics.

We start walking onto the plane, after Reece insisted, I walked slow with him to the plane because he was, and I quote, too sore from our race two days ago to walk normally. Bullshit he knows I hate being on the plane last. I just hope that when I actually get on the plane, there's a seat free next to Sam or my dad. Or I might jump out of it.

I decided it was taking way to long with Reece, so I left him there to struggle, that is if he was in fact in pain. I doubt it.

I walk onto the plane not spotting any of them, wow I got here before everyone despite Reece being his usual annoying self. I start to set up what will be my sanctuary for the next 7 hours and 19 minutes.

I put in my Air pods and start watching one of my favourite series of all time. Jane the virgin. I think it's pretty fitting, because like they speak Spanish in the show. Gotta gets used to hearing it a lot. I downloaded the whole first season on my laptop, so I could watch it in peace.

I'm about to press play, when all of a sudden, I hear the most agitating voice I've ever heard. "so, what are we watching" says Reece. With a devilish grin on his stupidly perfect face. I want to slap in right off. "what are you doing" I say through gritted teeth. "what I just wanted to sit next to my best friend on the flight here" oh I'm going to lose my shit in a second "also do you think I could have the window seat, wouldn't want to throw up all over you" he says tapping my nose "go sit next to Sam".

"nah I think I'm good, and look someone is sitting in the isle, can't move now" he says shrugging "air pod please". Instead of doing something I'm not entirely proud of. I sheepishly give him one. "we are watching jane the virgin" I say sighing in defeat.

I watch my mother and sister walk onto the plane "traitors" I say under my breath as she goes and sits next to my dad, and my sister takes a seat next to Sam.

But I'm not going to let this thing beside me, ruin my once in a lifetime holiday because he's grown bored.

Throughout the flight Reece makes comments and asks questions. His most recent one has been "wait wait so Rogelio, the telenovela star...is her dad". I just nodded in response. I have to say sitting here watching one of my favourite shows with Reece, has been surprisingly fun.
