Life With Boys

Chapter 1

"We are sorry for the inconvenience. We will begin to depart shortly." One of the very many flights attendants announced. I groaned in my seat. Being fourteen and having the patience smaller than a fly's brain at times does not help this situation. I'm irritated as it is that I have to travel alone.

The plane as already been held for two hours. If it goes to three I will blow my head off, "Would you like something to drink?" A flight attendant asked me sweetly.

"Can I have a water please?" I asked quietly. The person I had to sit next to was sleeping.

"Sure." The lady walked away and I set back to tapping my phone. I was trying to put together a decent playlist so I have music I'll enjoy. Some how some of my father's music ended up on my phone, "Here you are sweetie." The lady said as she passed me a water bottle. I nodded at her. I finished my playlist and put it on shuffle. Just as Little Mix's song 'How Ya Doin?' started to play my phone rang.

"Ello?" I asked not bothering to look at the caller ID.

"Hey Cambrie. Where are you now?" My grandmother asked.

"Still at the airport. The flight got delayed now for two hours. If it goes on three can I jump out the window?" It was more of a demand.

"Cambrie, airplane windows don't open." My grandmother said.

"I know, I know!" I huffed.

"Are you going to let your uncle know?" She asked.

"I'll text him after this. He was freaking out while I was on the phone with him last week. He literally gave me his schedule for a whole week so I know where he is while I'm flying. It's like he thinks I'll crash or something." I ranted.

"Cami, he is just very worried. He's upset that he couldn't come and get you himself because he was so busy but I can't afford a plane ticket or to leave Ireland." My grandma said.

"I know Grandma. I'm just, upset still I guess." I spoke. I looked down and played with a loose string on my pants.

"Your father and mother would want this for you. And besides, you haven't seen your uncle in a while. You're garenteed to have fun with him." There goes grandma, always trying to lighten the mood.

"I sure hope so. Well I gotta go. I'll let you know when I land." I said.

"Okay sweetie." I ended the call and quickly texted my uncle.

To: Best Uncle 2 Live

Plane has been delayed 2 hours so far. If it goes to 3 I'll let you know. Love you.

From: Best Uncle 2 Live

Okay. Let me know when you're 30 mins from landin. Love you to!!!!

I put my phone down and put my music back on.

"Please turn off all electronic devices. We will be departing in five minutes."

"Finally!" I shouted. I got a couple stares but I brushed them off.

"We will arrive in London at ten forty am." The flight attendant said. The best news I've heard all day.
