Goodbye's and Hello's(Part 1)

"You'll be fine on your own right sweetie?"My father asks me.

"Yes,Dad.I'll be fine.You're the one who's making me go anyways,so you shouldn't be worried."I say quite,annoyed.

"Lauren,I thought you wanted this too?"He asks me,sudden confusion washing over his face.

"I do,Dad.Well,sort of.Don't get me wrong I can't wait to see Mom and Chris but,I'm gonna miss my friends."I say.

It was true.I would miss the few good friends I had.I hung out with a lot of people,but none of them truly cared for me except my best friend Lucy and my boyfriend Brad.

"I know sweetie,but you'll see them in 2 months.Try to enjoy this trip."He says.

I nodded my head and pulled out my phone,replying to the few texts I had from Brad.I put my phone back in my pocket when I heard the P.A system say "Flight 206 to Sydney is now boarding." I quickly gathered my bags and turned to face my dad.

"Well, this is it."He says as he pulls me into a tight hug.

I wasn't much of a hugger so I just pat his back before quickly pulling away.

"Yup. Well, I'll see ya."I say as I begin to make my way over to the boarding line. I soon get to the front of the line and give the lady my boarding pass before she guides me where to go.

I follow the long hallway until I get to the plane. I quickly find my seat and put my bag into the above compartment. I went to close it but it wouldn't budge.

"Need some help there?"A voice says from behind me.

"No, I got it. Thanks."I say without turning around, as I continued to struggle.

Just then a pair of arms reached over mine and shut it. I turned around to face a girl. She looked around my age.

"Thanks."

"Not a problem."She says, taking the seat next to mine.

She motioned her hand over to my seat, gesturing me to sit down. I sat down and pulled the magazine from the side of the seat.

"I'm Camila."The girl beside me said.

"Lauren."I replied, not bothering to even look up.

"So, what's in Sydney for ya?"

"Family."I say, trying not to continue the conversation. I was hoping she would get the message that I didn't want to talk, but she didn't.

"Cool. So where are you originally from?"
