The Documentary

Chapter 2

bethany's POV.

may 28th 2017

i can't believe this. i won the why don't we contest. i only entered once. i kind of entered as a joke. they aren't my favorite but i figured i should take this as a good thing. i mean now i have content for my english project, before this i had no idea what to do. my teacher, mrs rutherford, told me i could do an extra credit thing to bring my grade up to a C. yep, i know what you're all thinking. a C? really? yeah. i know, i know i'm not the smartest in school, but i am defiantly one creative cookie. it took me FOREVER to convince her to let me do a film rather than an essay.

i leave tonight. i have to be at the airport at 7:00pm. i'm kinda scared. i mean i'm only 16 and i've never been on an airplane. this is my first time on one and i'm flying by myself. i think the boys are supposed to pick me up, which should be interesting. i haven't seen daniel in forever. daniel and i went to a boarding school together about 2 years ago and i haven't seen him since i left. if he told me that he was going to be famous and in a band successfully back then i wouldn't have believed him. he was a big trouble maker back then. we both were. we had the best times. i remember one time were both in a real rebellious stage of our lives and decided to ditch school one day. we ran when no one was looking and out. our school, redhill academy, was located in the middle of no where. we decided to run and run until we came across something or someone. there was this old house about a mile down that everyone said was haunted. so... us being disobedient 14 year olds, we decided to go in. it would take too long to tell you all the other stories about our relationship, but we were close. we never kept up with each other, he ended up staying longer than me and didn't have access to the internet, so we were never able to communicate. i'm not too sure that he will remember me exactly but hopefully he does.

8:12pm

my mom dropped me off at the airport not too long ago and my flight takes off at 8:25. hopefully this flight isn't too long. i mean, colorado to washington is about 2 hours. this shouldn't be that different right? i've never been to california, but honestly it's been my dream since i was little to live there and start my life somewhere with beachy air and warm weather. i take a seat at my gate, B7, and wait for my flight to board.

8:57pm
i've been waiting here for half an hour and i begin to panic. what if my flight doesn't board tonight? would i just sleep here? what if it gets delayed another hour? so many things are running through my head. i put in my headphones and play, surprise surprise, some why don't we. i've never really fully listened to their music, i press play and free comes on. i can't believe i never listened to them before. it's so good that i forget about everything else around me for a minute and just listen. before i could continue any further my flight starts to board. i'm sitting in the front so i guess business class. this is a lot fancier than i thought it would be. i've never flown either so i'm not too sure how my anxiety is going to pan out. i take my seat and wait for us to depart. california here i come.
