I wake up the next morning to a banging on my door. I groan, sliding out of bed and open it to see my dad standing there, dressed.

"What do you want, it's like 6:30!" I complain. 

"We have a flight to catch, you have 30 minutes to get ready before we leave." He says and I slam the door.

 I huff and get dressed, brush my hair and do my make up before packing everything. By the time I'm ready it is already 6:57, so I rush downstairs, give my key to the front desk before meeting my dad and Nicole outside. 

"You're on time, good." Dad praises and I just roll my eyes. "I couldn't get you a seat near us on the plane so you'll be somewhere else." He continues. "Perfect." I say and climb on the bus. "You'd happily seat next to a random person?" Nicole asks. "Yeah, I mean, I'm never going to see them again so." I point out and stick my earphones in.

They sit down and the bus driver starts driving. We must have driven for 45 minutes before arriving at the airport and it took about 1 hour and a half to get through all the checkouts and whatever you need to do. 

I get on the plane and find my seat, soon enough someone seats next to me. When I look, I'm surprised.

This guy must have been only a couple of years older than me. 19 or 20, brown hair, about the same height as my dad and quite muscular. To sum him up, he was EXTREMELY cute! He drops something and it hits me on the head.

"Ow." I mumble. "Oh I'm so sorry!" He says, "No it's cool don't worry about it." I put my hand up to assure him it was fine. "Can I buy you a drink to apologize?" He asks. Now usually, I'd be all for it, but the problem is, I go a little crazy when I'm drunk. "I'm actually not old enough." I say, "Well that's good cause neither am I. I'm Jed." He sticks his hand out for me to shake. Which I happily do. "Easton." 

"Easton, that's a cool name." He complements. "Thanks, so's Jed." I complement back and he sits down. There is a silence for a few minutes before he speaks again. "So you're on a plane by yourself?" He asks, "No, my dad and his girlfriend are actually sitting somewhere else." I explain and he nods his head, "What about you?" I ask him. "Travelling alone, when I turned 18, my father signed half of his company over to me, so now I have to go to all the meetings." 

"How long has that been going on for?" I ask, trying to get his age out of him. "Only 2 years, I just turned 20." I nod my head all cool, but inside I'm freaking out. He is only 20, and I'm about to turn 18 in 2 weeks, but who am I kidding, I won't see him again.

"How old are you?" He asks, "17 almost 18." I respond and he smiles, "Are you going to college?" He asks, "I need to get past high school first, I'm not exactly the best student." Understatement. "Why?" He asks, "I have a problem with authority." I say. He nods and smiles at me. "I went through that phase as well." He replies.

Oh believe me this is more then just a phase. "You probably weren't as bad as me." I say, "Try me." He says and he leans on his side so he is completely facing me. "Have you been arrested?" I ask, "Yes, DUI, what about you?" I am shocked, "Fighting and underage drinking in public." He laughs.

"Here's a question, how many times have you been arrested?" He asks. I bite my lip, "11 times." He nods his head with a shocked expression, "I've been arrested 5 times." I laugh, "Wow, you're like an angel compared to me." 

He laughs as well. "Listen, it'll be hard, but you should really start thinking about your future." He says and I sigh, "Believe me I have, but you have a kid with a Juvenile record, doesn't look so great on a college application." 

"Can't you take over a family business?" He asks, "My mum's a Forensic Scientist and my dad is professional wrestler." I say and he mouths 'Ah'. A woman comes over and asks us if we want any food. I order a sandwich, so does Jed and 5 minutes later, they come back and we start eating.

"So what is your business?" I ask, taking a bite into my sandwich. "Technology. We invent and sell all the new tech coming out. I half own Wayne Industries." I nod my head. "Wow Wayne Industries, that's impressive!" He laughs, "You have no idea what that is do you." I immediately shake my head, "No, I don't pay attention to the inventors, I just buy the product. If it makes up for it, I am giving you a lot of money." 

He laughs, "Well thank you." I nod, "You're welcome." 

The con system goes off. "Ladies and gentleman this is your captain speaking. We will be landing in 5 minutes so please put your seat belts on and I hope you have enjoyed your flight." 

We put on our seat belts and the plane lands. We walk off and collect our bags.

"Well thank you for making my flight less boring." He says, "Same." I reply. "Can I have your number?" He asks, and I smile, "Sure." I get out a pen and write my number down on his hand. "Well enjoy your time in New York." He says, "You too, good luck with you meeting." I say. "Thanks." 

And then like that he walks away and climbs into the back of a car and it drives off. I am so entranced I don't even realize my dad and Nicole have joined me. 

"You ready?" Dad asks.

"Yeah." I reply and we climb into the back of a car and drive off.
