That Summer

Chapter 3: America

"Passengers flying to Washington Dulles on Virgin Atlantic flight number VS021 please make your way to gate number 21, boarding is about to begin" the airport voice announced.

Amy: Finally! We can board the flight.

Me: Yeah but no point, we'll still be stuck on the flight for 8 more hours.

Amy: But at least we won't be stuck here.

Me: I rather be stuck here you know, at least I can walk around here. The sitting-in-one-place is too much for me.

Amy: Yeah...I feel the same but sometimes it's okay you know.

Me: Well it won't be okay this time.

Amy: Why's that?

Me: Cos you're traveling with me; I fidget a lot and move a lot and basically get irritated a lot which irritates the person sitting next to me.

Amy: I'm sure it's not-

Me: No no, I got this part correct. So umm have fun!

We were moving very slowly in the queue to board our flight and we were getting bored so we looked around to see our fellow passengers when I noticed a man that looked like our old teacher.

Me: Omg! Amy, is that Mr Parson?

Amy: Err...what?

Me: That man at the front looks like a blonde version of Mr Parson.

Amy: It's not Mr Parson though.

Me: You never know...he could've dyed his hair blonde.

Amy: Oh wow! You liked him, didn't you?

Me: NO! I wasn't one of those girls that couldn't stop staring at him when he walked into the science lessons or that purposely acted dumb and asked so many questions whenever he did an experiment.

Amy: Oh so you know the common things those girls did?

Me: Yes, I do. And I wasn't part of them!

Amy: So you liked him in other ways?

Me: Umm no. I never liked him. He was a bloody teacher.

Amy: Science technician to be precise

Me: Whatever. And Jenny liked him so I kinda did a bit of stalking for her.

Amy: Damn! You never stop stalking, do you?

Me: Nope, sorry stalking runs in my veins.

Amy: Why do you sound so proud about it?

Me: Well because it's something I'm good at and you're not.

Amy: I'm actually glad I'm not good at it

Me: Well it's cos you've never tried it. It's a useful skill you know

Amy: Oh yeah? When might I need to use it?

Me: I don't know, if you see a cute guy and like overhear someone say his name then from that you can find out his Facebook, be friends with him, see if he a girlfriend and if not then you go for it.

Amy: Wow! You did not just explain that. Do you know how weird you sound right now?

Me: Actually no. If I'd known then I would've stopped innit

Amy: Then let me help you out, you sound very weird so stop!

Me: Ahh. Thanks for that.

Slowly, we moved closer to the plane where the air hostess stood waiting to see our seat number and then guide us there.
Air hostess: Hello! *looks at the ticket* 25 A and B. Go straight then turn right.
