Are we Lost?

A sudden vibration in my pocket startled me. I woke up immediately to find myself drooling in my sleep. A small wet patch had formed on the T-shirt of the person whose shoulder pillowed my head. I wiped my mouth and slipped away from my seat. I took out my mobile from my pocket and checked it. A message from Cara popped on my home screen. Safe journey. Take care and have lots of fun ;) Miss me :'( I smiled looking at the screen and typed a quick reply. Thank you so much! Already missing you. I pressed the send button and put my phone back in my pocket.

I came to my seat to find everyone wide awake. I sat in my place innocently and hoped that he wouldn't realise the drool patch on his shirt.

"Our flight is at four hours from now. We'll be reaching our station in next 15 minutes. We'll have lunch somewhere on the way and then head to the airport. Since it is a new place and we have a packed schedule i want everyone close by. No wandering" Sky said firmly, almost like talking to a group of 13 year olds.

"Yes sir. Maybe next time we'll come with our friends rather than getting our professor along" Sean said drily.

Sky rolled his eyes at Sean and cursed under his breath. Sean chose to ignore him and went back to packing his bag pack.

Sky shoved us and our luggage into the first taxi he found outside the railway station. Sean gave the taxi driver the address of the restaurant Sean's brother had suggested. Sean's brother claims this restaurant has the best food. Initially Sky opposed the idea saying it would affect our schedule and we'll not make it on time. He finally agreed when he saw our agitated face and also when Sean swore to kick him in the balls if he did not stop being so compulsive and bossy.

"Stop!" The taxi stopped making a screeching sound. Everyone in the taxi looked at me with confused faces.

"I forgot my book at home. I don't want to sit idly on the plane. I saw a bookstore across the road. How about I go buy a book and then met you guys at the restaurant?"

"Okay."

"Cool."

"NO!"

All three of them spoke together, with the last voice belonging to Skylar Colt. I gave Anamika and Sean a solacing smile and stepped out of the taxi.

"I'll text you the address of the restaurant" said Sean as I closed the taxi door.

I heard a door bash on the other side of the taxi. I looked aside to find Sky walking beside me.

"I'm coming along" said Sky stoned faced before walked straight inside the bookstore. Having no energy left in me to argue with him I let him accompany me.

"Would you mind hurrying up?!" asked Sky checking his watch for the fifteenth time since we walked in five minutes and 20 seconds ago.

"I'm not stepping out of this store until and unless I find what I am looking for"

"I don't mind throwing you on my shoulder and carrying you out of the store. After all how much can a sack of potatoes weigh?" a wicked smile played on his lips looking at my reaction.

"Mr. Skylar Colt you are not going to do anything like that! And by the way I'm not a sack of potatoes" I said trying to control my urge of smacking his face with the book in my hand.

"Okay fine you are not a sack of potatoes........drooly"

My eyes widened with surprise and my cheeks heated up faster than ever. I must have turned a deep shade of red. I was so embarrassed that I did not even want to look at his face.
