We walked out of the bathroom, walking in sync with earbuds in our ears, listening to some good music. We stood on a short line to buy tickets with out passports and I.Ds in our hands. We squeezed each others hands as it was now our turn to buy the tickets. "Hello, ladies." The man behind the glass spoke. We bobbed our heads nervously waving hello. He glanced at us and at the passports multiple times. "Date of birth, Miss Eliana?" "Oh, November 16th, 96." I spoke calmly and on the inside completely nervous because Paige wasn't good under pressure. "Bow? Bo? How do you say it?" "It's Bo. And date of birth is the 26th of January. Year 96." She spoke calmly, surprising me. I looked over at her and saw the most calm expression on her face. It utterly surprised me how much she's changed. He put the passports under the stamper and stamped our passports, handing us our tickets to England. We calmly grabbed the tickets, passports and our bags as we walked to the café. We peeked glances at each other at the corner of our eyes as our smiles spread from cheek to cheek, almost squealing in excitement. We set down our things and put our passports and tickets in our carrier bags as we sat down at a booth. We exhaled loudly and almost screamed right when we looked at each other. We decided on holding it in until we at least feed our starving stomachs. We picked out some decaf coffees and dietary sandwiches. As we went to ring up the food, the lady behind the cash register just sort of glanced at us a couple times. "First time travelers?" She smiled at our nervous tapping against the counter. We glanced at each other and smiled as friendly as we could. "Sort of." Bo spoke. The lady smiled and said,"I remember when I ran away for the first time," she chuckled to herself "That'll be $11.50." She looked up at us almost panting in nervousness. Bo squeezed my hand and shut her eyes tightly. "Please, you can't say anythi-" "Sweet heart," she interrupted me "If it means anything to you two, I believe in you. And this," she gestured her hands between us,"Never happened." She slipped us our food without even us having to pay, "It's on the house." She smiled as she went back to the back of the bar as if nothing happened. We looked at each other with slight tears in our eyes and chuckled as we nodded at each other slowly and grabbed our food and sat down. ~ We ate patiently and threw out our breakfast, walking towards the big windows, realizing that it was now about 5, considering that the pink in the sky had gotten much brighter. I felt Bo lean her head on my shoulder so I leaned my head on hers and we interlocked fingers as we squeezed each others hands. "Is this real?" Bo spoke in a low accent. I thought about it all. The days we've spent as Beatriz and Paige. The days we've been grounded but snuck out anyway to see each other. The nights where we ran to wherever for the night. The singing. The screaming. The dancing. All those times we've had as Beatriz and Paige are the times that will only remain I out memories as new awakenings are ahead of us now. "Bo," I asked. "Hmm?" "As real as dreams may feel," I paused as I turned to face her, "This is certainly not another dream. This isreality. This is our new reality." I smiled as she reflected my smile. We gaze at each other as I gripped her shoulders and squeezed. A startling noise came from the loud speakers, breaking from our moment and causing us to look up at the ceiling.
"Next train to England arriving in approximately 5 minutes."
The words 'train' 'England' and '5 minutes' all in one sentence. We slowly looked down from the ceiling to each other and smiled widely, jumping up and down, squeezing each other in hugs. This was going to be the trip of our lives. Nobody, and I mean nobody compares to the friendship me and Pai- I mean Bo, have. Only our wicked minds fused together would think of a plan so exciting yet disappointingly depressing, considering all we know is here. BUT, all we WANT is there. And ladies and gentleman,
London is calling our names.
