Not So Bad

Chapter 3

The flight wasn't that long maybe 3 hours.

Wow 3 hours of thinking. Fun! I don't know what I'm going to do or anything. To be completely honest it's kind of scary. I know, 17 year old scared of a new place, but it's just weird I know absolutely nobody and everybody already has there cliques.

I'll try my best, but honestly I just want to watch Netflix all day. Every girls dream.

"Welcome to Michigan, we will be preparing for landing."

As soon as I step out of the plane I have one of two options, find my dad or get my luggage. Well obviously the most important.

Luggage.

After I grab my luggage, I make my way to pick up to find my dad.

I spot him instantly because he's holding a sign that says 'Melanie My Daughter' in big bold letters. Thanks dad.

As I make my way over to him, he probably has the biggest smile I've ever seen.

I will admit he is a handsome man for his age. Bright green eyes, smile wrinkles, the whole aging well look.

My mom says I get my carefree attitude from him. I will admit just by looking at him I probably do. He's wearing an old Nirvana shirt and some jeans with paint stains on them. My type of look for a chill day.

"Oh Melanie you're so grown up. I've missed you kiddo."

He hugs me so tight I think my head might pop off. But I wouldn't tell him that because it feels welcoming and warm. Like home.

" Hey dad."

For some reason it's not as awkward as I though it was going to be. It doesn't seem like it's been 13 years more like 13 hours. Weird.

" So Mellie, first order of business is food, I don't know about you, but I am famished."

" Sure I'm hungry."

"Awesome."

And with that he grabs one of my bags and leads me out into Michigan.
