i heard he faint sound of my alarm clock ringing, i turned around and looked at the blurry number. 3:30; waking up now would give me half an hour to get ready to go to the airport. i slowly reached towards the lamp and pulled the cord to fill my room with a dim light. i got up from my ruffled sheets and orginized them, i pulled out my bags from my closet and placed them close to the door. i pulled on some black sweatpants and tight white tank top, took a quick glance at my alarm again and relized i only had 15 minutes left. i pulled my suitcases down the stairs and quickly wrote my sister a note, pulled on my sweater and walked outside locking the door behind. i heard biancas car pull up into my driveway as she honked at me. vinny came out of the car and ran up to me, even though it was four in the morning he looked overly exicted
"morning" he said flashing a dazzling smile while picking up my suitcase brushing his hand against mine. we walked over to biancas car and he pushed both suitcases into her car. once i got in i saw biancas crazy hair tied up into a bun.
"kay!" bianca yelled as vinny jumped in from the other side. we exchanged in our handshake which we came up with when we were 5. she started to pull out of the driveway and made her way to the airport. no one said anything for the whole ride because we were all to tired. bianca pulled into the deserted lot of the airport and shut the car off. we all got out simutanisly and picked up our bags and walked to the bright entrance of the airport.

once we got our tickets checked me and vinny walked together towards the airplane. i could feel the cool jersey air hit my whole body just before i entered the airplane. i walked slowly, trying to make out the numbers of the seats; when vinny started storing his luggage on the compartment i thought i misewell just go with him. from the corner of my eye i saw him smirk .
"ladies first" he said winking as i slid into the window seat. after the flight attendents finsished their speach i felt the airplane wheels start to move. as we lifted into the air the lights dimmed and i saw that vinny had already fallen asleep. i took off my black converse sneakers, curled my legs up on my seat and rested my head on vinnys chest and closed my eyes. i felt vinnys arm move so it was wraped around me, i looked up at his face and his eyes were still closed but this time a smile on his face.
this moment felt perfect. the way he grasped me, the way he looks at me but that would never happen. i love vinny. but i knew only as my best friend. or at least, i thought.
