The Flight

     "Christa, are you ready to go?" I shouted downstairs. Our apartment is small, but we have two stories for extra guest bedrooms since we both have large families. She has a downstairs bedroom and I have an upstairs bedroom. We have 6 guest bedrooms, 4 upstairs and 2 downstairs. We also have the laundry room upstairs. Downstairs we have the mud room, an extra closet, the kitchen, the game room, the office, the living room, and the dining room. We have three bathrooms upstairs and four downstairs. The office has a computer and desk in it, and it's where we pay our bills and edit pictures and videos, but it's also the room with all of our paint and canvases and other craft supplies in it. The only reason we can afford all of this stuff is because my parents payed for my college education. Without them, we'd be living in the sewers.
    "Yea, just let me find my shoes!" She shouted. I picked up her black foam flip flops and tossed them down the steps.
     "You left them in my room, remember?" I said as I laughed at her.
     "Oh yea." She said. She grabbed her iPod touch which had her brand new blue and white case on it and said, "Let's go, Loren! We don't have all day!"
     I giggled and hauled my black leather bag down the brown wooden steps. "Okay, sorry wouldn't wanna keep you waiting!"
     Even though I've been waiting for  YOU for two hours... I thought.
     In the car, Christa made me stop at Starbucks for a Caramel Mocha Frappuccino. "Want anything Loren?" Christa asked. "I'll pay!"
     "I'll take a Chocolate Chip Frappuccino." I said. I pulled out my iPhone 5s with my pink and white case my dad had bought me for Christmas and checked the time. Twenty minutes until the flight. "Christa, we should drink these in the car." I said.
     "Okay," she said, "but I'm not driving."
     Sixteen minutes later we arrived at the airport. We were almost late for the flight, but it was delayed anyways because somebody had an accident while boarding. Once on the plane, I called dibs on the window seat and Christa groaned. I love flying, it's so much fun, and you can get awesome pictures too. I looked at the pinky orange sky and put in my new white earbuds. I immediately turned on the song "Lose It" by Flume. I glanced over at Christa, who was trying to fall asleep. I handed her her purple hippo pillow pet, because I was trying not to be a complete jerk. I started counting down the hours until landing. Five, four, three, two, one...
