Falling Together

11 Years Old

So today we're going over to my aunt's house. Which is in another city. It's summer break and this is always the best time.

It's 9 in the morning and our flight is at 2:00 pm. I'm very excited as I have cousins there and this is probably the only time I get to meet them as they're so far and I have school.

"Be ready by 12.30 Emily" My mum said.

She likes to be extraa early. She's right tho because the airport is like really far from our house. Maybe like 1 hour. Yeah, that's alot.

I usually don't go out of city but when I do which is usually as this time of the year, it's really exciting. You know the feeling you get when you enter the airport or is it just me?

Anyway, the thing which I'm most excited about is that Alex lives in the same city. We did talk before, kinda. And I can't even stop thinking about him. It's been what, 3 years since I met him. We do talk on facebook and stuff. And he just sends me really lame messages sometimes. He's funny tho.

But to him I'm just a friend. He is a really close family friends with my aunt so maybe I get to meet him when I go there. The thing about our friendship is that we are more friends on facebook than we are in person. It's like we didn't talk much in person but then we talk on facebook like we are really close friends or something. This thing confuses me to no end.

***********************************************************

We're at the airport now and just going for the boarding thing. It's 1:45 so we go and just sit in the plane and wait for all the other passengers to fill in.

I sit on the window side because duh who doesn't like the view from such a height. Well most of the people don't but I do.

After 15 mins there are some announcements made about the safety and shit. I never listen to that stuff I swear. I don't thing anyone does tbh.

I like flying. I don't know why, maybe because I'm in the air(well, that much is obvious) but I just do. It's like I'm away from my homework and school and everything that troubles me.

It's kinda boring so I went to sleep. The flight is about 3 hours long.

**************************************************************

My cousin Lucy came to pick us up. He waving her hand in the air when she spot us.

She is 18 and just finished high school. So lucky. *sigh*

"Hello guys! How are you both?" She said hugging us both.

"We're really good now that we're here. I can't wait to meet my sister."

Did I mention Aunt Katy is mum's sister. She's the only sister. And they are really close.

We get in the car and Lucy drives to the house. So when we enter the house there are people. I don't like people that much. But oh well I see that one person I hoped to see at the same time did not really want to as I'm clumsy. Sometimes.

Aunt Katy and Uncle Rob greet and welcome us in the house.

"You've grown so much Emily. You were a baby when I last saw you!" Aunt Katy says smiling really wide.

I just awkwardly laugh. What do you reply to that? Yeah, I see you're growing old too.

I mean why do people even say that? I'll never know.

I feel like I should just go and talk to Alex as he is sitting there playing with Lucy's kitten.

"Hey Emily" He says first

"Hi Alex. How are you?" I'm smiling like really wide rn. Because I'm happy he's talking to me. And I hope I don't embarrass myself infront of him today like the first time that I met him.

We do the usual talking like 'how's school' and we talk about the weather.

And everything is so good. I thought I won't be able to talk to him like I do with others but I feel at ease and I feel comfortable? when I'm with him. Nothing's awkward or anything. We talk and laugh like we know each other since ages and that's the best part about this night.
