Vermicelli Noodles: I'm living thru u.
My dad and I went to grab some food before boarding the plane again. Out of all the cool states, we had to spend our layover in Philadelphia. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there's plenty of fun stuff to do, just not in the amount of time we were given before having to get back to the airport. It took us a little over a half an hour as it is just to get to our location.
We now have a little less than an hour to kill, and I take this time to look through a few gift shops for Tinley. I know she likes to collect keychains or pins to put on her bag, so I head over to a cute travel themed gift shop in the airport. After glancing over most of the tacky looking bedazzled keychains, my eyes stop at this simple looking shaped paper airplane that says 'Philadelphia' in pretty cursive.
"$25 dollars?" I mutter in shock under my breath. "What kind of sick place charges $25 for a keychain." I angrily rant to myself as I fish out my wallet.
"Crap." I mentally slap myself for not bringing more money. I only have a $20 bill, and I don't like using my credit card in small places like this. You never know which place it will be that will steal your credit card number and hack your bank account.
"Hey, you found a good one." A familiar voice says above me, as I stare angrily at my wallet for not containing more money.
I look up slightly startled, only to come in eye-contact with my airplane pal.
"You're just everywhere aren't you?' I roll my eyes as I reluctantly put back the keychain and keep looking for much cheaper options.
"We are traveling the same way Kaji." He says with a laugh. "Why'd you put that keychain back? It's probably the only one that doesn't look like Disneyland merchandise." He scrunches his nose as he looks at the cheesier keychains. One being a little philly cheese steak stuffy, that says 'I'd melt for you'.
"Because they all cost the same amount as Disneyland merchandise." I retort.
"Ah." He mumbles as he slowly follows me around the shop, looking at the same trinkets I look at, and occasionally tapping my shoulder to show me a ridiculous souvenir.
"Ooh, this is actually really pretty." I say picking up a simple beaded bracelet that has a little key dangling. The beads are like small white marble, and the little key is a pretty copper gold.
I check the price.
"How is a bracelet cheaper than a keychain?" I question quite confused.
At least its in my budget. It's exactly $20 and I'm a little disappointed I'm not buying it for myself. As much as I try to convince myself that this bracelet is more my style than Tinley's, I can't show up back home empty handed.
Just now
Kajianna 💕: Just got your first souvenir in Philadelphia! Next souvenir, will be from Canada! Eeee!
I purchase the bracelet and start fishing for some coins to make up for the tax, but thankfully it was $20 on the dot. I look behind me and notice that Zack disappeared and figured he must have head back to the waiting area.

Romance"Okay." I say scrunching my face. "I'll skype you." "You will?" His voice gets excited. "Yes, but not tonight. I look like crap. And my eyes are all puffy from exhaustion." I say, my voice unsteady. "As much as I'd love to see a little sleepy Kaji...
