An opportunity gained

Chapter 11

I went to the airport on my own, only because I asked to. I didn't want to get upset just like Sam is with her brother now. 

"Last call to Orlando Florida about to board, I repeat last flight to Orlando Florida about to board" We stood up slowly; this could be my last time in the UK. Was I really ready? After all I'm only 16. Maybe I should have focused more in class because if this doesn't work out then what's my backup plan. I can't help my dad...I tried that once for work experience, it was horrible. We spent 2 weeks fighting with one and other; I didn't want to go back to that...of course they would accept me! I'm awesome and cool; even Mark called me his top student. Well along with Sam but I didn't care. Sam and her brother were crying their eyes out, we were going to miss our flight. 

"Sam we better hurry up and get on that plane otherwise we won’t make it at all" She started laughing, I wasn't joking we really were going to miss it. Then we slopped off, Sam ran back though. 

"Oh for god sake" I muttered. 

"Don't" 

"Don't what?" I didn't understand what Mark was saying. 

"You don't know what she's been through" Wait...what she's been through? What about me? 

We were now on the plane about to take off. I was used to flying; we go on family holidays every year. I'm used to a 4 year old jumping up and down next to me saying "Are we there yet" today was different. When I looked over I saw a girl tightly tucking herself in looking like this was her death wish. 

"Hello everybody this is your captain speaking! If you would please put your seatbelts on then we can enjoy our flight, thank you" I put it on then leaned back. I suddenly heard weird breathing sounds, what is that?! I'm trying to sleep; after all we are on an 11 hour flight. I looked over to my right and see Sam looking weird...ermm...is she okay?! So I do the only thing I can think of, I place my hand on top of hers. 

"Sam are you okay?" Just thought I would be polite and ask. 

"Ermm...not really, I've never been on a plane before" She looked down and then went red, trying not to laugh I said something which made her smile. 

"You'll be fine, I've got you" I remember saying that to Zoey the first time she went on a plane, it made me smile thinking about her. The plane started to move and then I heard a weird sound again, okay I know this is your first flight but even the baby next to us isn't even crying, keep it together! Obviously I didn't say that to her. I squeezed her and instead and said...

..."Sam its fine" She smiled again. Mark then started talking so that calmed her down, I realised I was holding her hand and I suddenly let go, I don't even like this girl. 

"Okay guys when we get there we're going to check into the hotel then grab some food. After that if you wish you can go to sleep, it’s probably going to be petty late anyway and you'll be jet lagged" I was defiantly going to sleep. 

"What's jet lagged?" Oh dear, she really hasn't flown before. I just stared at Mark and we laughed. 

"No seriously, what is it?" I suddenly stopped; she was honesty being serious right now?! 

"You don't know what it is?" Trying not to laugh when I asked the question. 

"I've just told you I've never flown so how the fuck would I know what it is?" She hissed at me. Fucking hell that took me by surprise looks like I've got some explaining to do. 

"Oh yeah sorry. Ermm...it’s when you're on a long flight like this one and when you go to a different country and your body isn't used to it so you feel tired all of the time" There was a bit of an awkward silence before Mark carried on. 

"So anyway...you guys will have a few days to have a look around everywhere and you will get shown to the arena so you can hang out there and get to know the people you could be working with" I like how he said "could" and not "will be working with", maybe he didn't actually believe in us?... 

"Calm down" Mark chuckled. 

"Sorry I'm just super excited" 

"Yeah we can tell" I laughed along as well. 

"And after that, that's when the hard work begins" We stopped laughing and sat forward because we knew this was the rest of our lives. 

I just got back from the loo where people were looking where I had been sat. What's going on? Sam was sat there screaming, oh great. 

"Sam! Sam! Wake up!" I shouted in her face. He eyes shot open. 

"Are you alright?!" I was generally concerned. 

"I am now" 

"Good! I was worried about you" I was worried about her. 

"Well honestly I'm fine" I wanted to find out more. I tried to make it casual.

"What were you screaming at though?" 

"I was...ermm...upset because I've left my brother..." Well that doesn't surprise me; I can see how close they are. Reminds me of Zoey. 

"Ahh okay. I miss my sister too" I blurted out. 

"You have a sister?" She seemed surprised. 

"Yeah, she's my world, on one can replace her" Which is true. Doesn't matter if I get a girlfriend, my little sister comes first. 

"That's cute" She smiled. 

"This is your captain speaking please put your seatbelts on as we're about to land, thank you" Finally the 11 hour flight was over; let’s see how well I do in the WWE.
