*If you don't know what MPR means it means multi-purpose room, just so I won't get a bunch of comments asking what MPR means. BTW I love feedback from you guys, Let me know if you're enjoying the story. Ok I'll let you continue reading now ^_^*

"You got your inhaler?"

"Yes"

"What about your tooth brush?"

"Yes"

"How about extra underwear?"

"MOM! Seriously don't say that in public! I have enough clothes in my suitcase to last me two months and I'm only going to be gone for two weeks. Calm down I got all my medicines, and all my extra stuff I'm going to be fine don't worry." I was at my school meeting up with the rest of the Junior and Senior class and our teachers that will be going with us. It was a beautiful Sunday morning, but I didn't care because it was six o'clock in the morning and I was tired as hell. My mom was so paranoid because this is the first time I'm ever traveling out of the United States, well I went to Puerto Rico but that's not that far, it's only 3 hours away from Philadelphia. Italy is a whole days flight away from home. So basically my mother is freaking out, I bet my dad is too but he's not showing it. He was really excited when I told them I was going to Italy and told me to bring him back some wine. I don't know how he thinks that's going to work but ok.

"Have fun dork and don't get kidnapped" Of course that's how my brother says goodbye.

"And what if I do get kidnapped" I said as I rolled my eyes at him.

"Then that means you didn't listen to me so o well" Nice to know he cares, brother of the year award goes to... Not Justin Rosario.

"Alright mom I think you guys can leave now I'm fine" I know this may sound mean but I wanted to get away from my parents already. I'm sixteen and I argue with my parents everyday, I don't mean to but they treat me like I'm a little girl and yell at me for the littlest things, I love them and I know they mean well but they are always so paranoid. I needed a break and now I got one, now all I need is for my parents to leave!

"Ok ok we're going but remember to call once you land and before you go to sleep. Don't forget!" My mom said. "Ok I will" I'll probably forget. "Bye mom, bye dad I love you guys" I gave them each a hug and they headed off to the car. I waited until the car disappeared out of my sight and then walked inside the building to the MPR where everyone else was waiting.

"Lyric you're here!!!" Kelsey squealed giving me a hug, she's always so excited. I don't know how she always has this much energy in the morning.

"Yea and I'm tired I need a nap so we need to hurry up and get on this damn plane already!" I am not a morning person so I'm pretty harsh in the morning but my friends know that's how I am so they don't take offense.

"Don't worry we'll be there soon then you can take a nap" Joyce said laughing.

"You guys do know we have two stops on the way to Italy right?" I said shaking my head.

"Wait so we have to get off the plane and get on another one?" Joyce asked.

"Yea and we have to do that twice, our first stop is in Detroit and the second one is in Paris." I said rubbing my temples to keep me awake. Jeez this flight is going to be so long.

"That's weird why is it going to Detroit then Paris?" Joyce asked, "I don't know Joyce I don't work for the airline." I said shrugging.

"So what time do we arrive in Italy?" Kelsey asked.

"We leave at 9:40am and arrive in Detroit at 11:30am then we have to wait for seven hours there then we leave at 6:20pm and arrive in Paris tomorrow at 8:15 in the morning then we leave Paris at 10:05am and get to FlorenceItaly at 11:50am." I said remembering what one of my teachers had told me.

"That sounds so complicated" Joyce groaned,

"Yea I'm getting tired just thinking about it, but oh my god guys we're going to Paris!" Kelsey said. "Yea but we have to stay in the airport we can't leave Kels". She watched her smile turn into a frown as she realized she can't leave the airport to go on a shopping spree in Paris. I looked at the time on my phone it read six thirty so we should be heading to the airport soon.

"Buongiorno!" And there goes the loud one.

"Good morning to you to Matt." I said tiredly

"Aww come on Lyric wake up you're going to Italy be happy!!!"

"You know I'm never happy this early, how about you get back to me on the plane." Our principal walked into the lunchroom and walked onto the stage.

"Ok I know everyone's excited and it's really early so I just got the ok that everyone's here and the buses are ready to leave so I need everyone to go outside and board the buses." We grabbed our stuff and walked outside to the school buses. Kelsey and Joyce sat behind Me and I sat with Matt. The whole ride to the airport consisted of Kelsey trying to make everybody smile with corny jokes, Joyce and Matt fighting, and Matt singing songs very loudly and exaggerated just to annoy me. God please give me the strength to not kill this kid before we get to italy. Finally we arrived to the airport and I took a breath of relief. Our chaperons handed out our tickets and we went through security which took quite a while since we had so many kids going.

"Where is your seat Lyric!" Joyce said running up to me after she got threw security.

"Umm 21 A" I said as I read over my ticket.

"Mines is beside you! But I wonder who I sit next to...hopefully not Matt." she rolled her eyes as she thought about having to sit next to Matt for 3 whole plane rides.

"I think they would kick you guys off the plane and Joyce you sit next to me" Kelsey said laughing as she caught the end of our conversation.

"In the middle row it's a three seater which means there's someone else sitting next to you guys and if its not me then there's a chance it could be Matt" I said laughing as Joyce groaned in annoyance as she realized she hasn't escaped from Matt quiet yet.

"What could be Matt?" Matt said as he walked up to us after he got through security.

"What seat do you have Matt?!?" Joyce asked as she stared at him in anticipation.

"21 B" He said showing her his ticket.

"Dammit" Great I get stuck with Matt. Well I get along with him better so I guess this isn't so bad, it would have been hell if he had to sit next to Joyce.

"Ha he sits next to you!!" Joyce did a little victory dance and I just shook my head.

"But wait so if neither me or Matt sit next to you guys who does?"

"Hey guys! Where's your seats!" Matts senior friends Anthony, Liam, and Calvin walked up to us.

"I sit at 21 B, Lyric sits next to me and Kelsey and Joyce sit beside us in the middle row." Matt said

"I sit next to you guys." Anthony said to Kelsey and Joyce.

"o..That's great.." Kelsey forced a smile at Anthony as she turned to look at Joyce who was forcing a smile as well. You see Kelsey and Joyce don't really like Anthony, as a matter a fact they hate his guts. He's my ex-boyfriend, I dated him during my freshman year, but he cheated on me. Ever since then he's been trying to get me back, saying he's changed and that he misses me. The usual shit ex boyfriends say to try and trick you into giving them another shot, but I just ignore him. However Joyce and Kelsey can't stand him, they think he's a disgusting human being, which I agree with but they don't even like being in near him. So I guess now they wish Matt did sit next to them.

"O look the class is walking to the gate lets go." Joyce said as she grabbed her suitcase and started to follow the class. As we were walking the guys walked ahead of us, lost in their own conversation.

"Ha you guys laughed at me for having to sit with Matt now you guys get Anthony! In your faces have a nice flight." I said laughing as I walked ahead of them. Kelsey and Joyce both gave me playful glares as we approached the gate. We sat down near the door and I looked at my phone and it read nine o'clock. Great we should be leaving soon. I sat down next to Joyce and leaned my head on her shoulder. I can't wait to be in Italy, just like Joyce, all I could think about was how much pizza I was going to eat.
