*BEEP... BEEP... BEEP*
I half open my eyes and reach for my phone which was under my pillow.
"Waa.. I guess I was really that tired" I chuckle at myself.
I put a hand on my chest. My heart's beating.. really fast. I was really excited.
I just realised that I had 10 minutes to get dressed and leave.
I walk over to the door and put my ear near it to see if my dad's still home. Not a single sound. I breathe out.
Before I packed, I left some spare clothes for me to leave to go to the airport in. I wear my black, baggy t-shirt and my dark blue jeans which are ripped from the knee. I wear my socks then my timberland's. I bring my black mask with me and I bring a back pack which I pack my stuff in; my hair brush, my envelope of money (which is for Korea), my wallet (with only $20 in there), my passport and birth certificate and my flight ticket. I hold the suit case and drag it along with me. I look at my room one last time. It was half empty... I had a lot of memories in here.. bad ones and good ones.
It was 2:03am and it was really dark. I walked for 3 minutes to get to the bus stop. I was the only one there. As I waited, I slipped my phone out of my bum pocket and plugged in my ear phones. I looked up at the sky, it was pitch black, only a few stars could be seen. Until I saw a shooting star, I quickly put my hands together and made a wish, 'I hope I could be happy and live a better life in Korea'.
Minutes Later, the bus finally appeared. I beeped my bus card on the machine thingy, then went inside and took a seat. Only 2 people were in there. A women and a man sitting next to eachother. They're probably going on a honeymoon. I chuckled at my thoughts.
"Miss? Miss?" Someone was shaking me, I opened my eyes as I see an unfamiliar man. "We're at the last stop, which is the airport".
"Oh.. thank you sir!" I quickly say and walk out of the the bus.
I checked the time and it was 3:12am. That's plenty enough time.
I walked into the airport. It was really big.
I go to the check out point.
"Hello ma'am!" A pretty lady who was smiling and had bright red lipstick on.
"Hello" I said shyly.
"May I have your passport and your ticket?" She asks as she smiles.
"Ah, yes" I reach in for my backpack and reach for my passport and ticket then I give them to her.
She read through the passport and typed things on the computer. She scanned the flight ticket.
"Okay, all good! Do you want to leave your suitcase with us?" She asks.
"Umm no thanks, I'll keep it with me" I smiled.
"Okay have a safe flight hun!"
I smile again.
I go into the airport and it was literally empty.
I find a cafe and decide to eat there."Ahhh.. finally!" My tummy was rumbling, as I had a chicken and cheese panini and a hot chocolate in front of me.
After I finished eating I check the time and it's 3:58am.
I have $16 left in my pocket. I go into a beauty store and look around. Maybe I should try wearing make up. I bought this hot pink lip gloss which I loved. Now I had $14 left.
I check the huge TV screen that says what time the flights are and I check mine. 'South Korea, Seoul boarding soon'.
I'm on the plane. I'm really early since I had nothing to do. My seat was near the window which was okay with me so I could see the view. I wait for other passengers to arrive.
Finally, the plane is getting ready to leave.
It starts moving slowly and gets faster by time, the ride was very bumpy, until the ride got softer and we were in the dark night sky...
