On This Little Planet

Chapter 2

My alarm went of at three AM like it was supposed to. I got ready as quiet and quick as possible. I did my usual makeup and put on a pair of black sweatpants and an Adventure Time crop top tank top. I grabbed a jacket and my luggage then got in the car and began to drive to the airport.

I sat in my gate waiting for my flight to get called. My legs quickly moved up and down and my hands shook. I was nervous to fly. I have always had a huge fear of planes and I didn't even know what would happen after I landed. A sweet feminine voice came on through the intercom calling all the passengers to my flight. I got up and stood in line. When I got up to the lady behind the desk she smiled sweetly and scanned my ticket. I walked through the long hallway that seemed to get colder with each step. I got to the end where an open plane was. I walked up the steps and made my way into the plane.

I quickly walked down the isles and found my seat. I shoved my duffel bad in the cabinets above me then sat next to the window and buckled up. My legs bounced up and down nervously and my fingers quickly tapped my thighs. I quickly grabbed my phone and began to untangle my headphones as a distraction. A tall male with curly black hair sat next to me he had a goofy grin and an earbud in just one ear. I analyzed him quickly and then the flight attendant began to speak. She went into the rules and explained the flight manual in front of our seats. "Awe come on! I don't plan on dying here so lets just skip this!" He yelled trying to capture her attention. It failed. I giggled and he turned over to me with a large smile back on his face. "I hate how long they take!" He said laughing now as well. I nodded in agreement. "I'm James, who are you plane buddy?" He asked. "I'm Kathrine. You can call me Kat though." I answered. "Well Kat, why are ya here?" 

"I was invited by youtube. I make videos and apparently they're okay."

"Oh, I'm here for the same reason then."

I nodded and opened my mouth, but quickly shut it as the plane urged forwards and then took off. As the plane jerked away I grabbed my leg and squeezed trying to calm my self. "Inhala Exhala" I repeatedly whispered to myself trying to breathe deep. James looked at me amused and snickered. "First time flying?" He asked in an almost mocking way. I quickly nodded. He lay his hand out, palm facing out." You can squeeze hand if you want, no nails though!" He jokingly warned. I laughed and accepted the sweet gesture. As soon as I put my hand on his I relaxed and realized I was making a big deal. "Works every time!" He smirked. "What does!?" I asked shocked and confused. He laughed and put his hand back on his lap. I gave him a curious look then smirked and played my music to block out the world.

Eventually we both fell asleep. I slept for about three hours, leaving me approximately only an hour left in air. I played simple mindless games on my phone and then I pulled out my computer and tried to focus on creating a list of video ideas. After I narrowed down my options I added them to my calendar.

 The lady came over the intercom again informing us we only had 5 minutes until landing. I began to pack up all my stuff, careful not to wake James. He hadn't touched any of his bags since he had slept the whole time so I didn't bother to wake him. 

The second the plane hit the ground we bumped a lot and I gripped my legs for dear life. This uncomfortable bumping woke James. He yawned and stretched like a child. He looked grumpy for having to wake up. I giggled at the sight of his crazy hair and pouty face. Confused by my laughter he grinned awkwardly at me causing me to laugh harder. "Were here!" I said in an exited whisper. He immediately perked up and quickly got ready to leave the plane. 

We walked out together and then exchanged numbers just in case. As we split into our taxi's we texted. We didn't text about anything other then our lives really. It turned out we were actually staying in the same hotel, all the youtubers were. 

What an incredible opportunity!
