The Life Change

Chapter 2~Leaving~

I gripped my suitcase tightly as Addeliza got my last bag out of her trunk. She handed it to me and smiled. I dropped it and hugged her tightly, she hugged me back.

"I am going to miss you so much" she said pulling away and whipping a tear from her eye. I nodded and wipped my own. We looked at each other and smiled before hugging again. Finally, I took my bags and entered the airport. I turned and watched as Adde got back in her car and left. I am going to miss her.

I look around and make my way to gateway 4, my ticket, passport and information in hand. All I had was two suitcases and a large backpack with my clothes and some valuables. The rest of my stuff, like my books, were at Adde's or my parents. I succeeded in finding the correct gateway and paused my walking to find the Life Change program table that was supposed to be near. I finally saw the bright orange and blue poster behind a table with a very small cluster of people in front of it. I grabbed my stuff and rushed over to them. I was greeted by a nice lady in a suit. Her nametags said 'Addy'

"Welcome you must be Sianna, our student traveling to South Korea" I nodded and shook her hand.

"Well as you all know today is your last day in America, probably for awhile," she paused and looked at each student, "Your information says what plane you will boarding so after taking one of our packets please head there. Good luck all of you and be safe. My contact information is in the packet if you need help, someone will be waiting at your destination to help." She smiled and the 6 people here rushed to grab a packet. I managed to snatch one and took my stuff heading to my plane. Getting to the correct place I turned in my two suitcases and, keeping my back pack with me, made my way to the boarding center. I was smiling when the attendant asked me to hand over my ticket and passport. I gladly did and she told me where my seat was and anything I would need to know.

After searching and finding my seat, that happened to be a window seat, I put my backpack on the floor by my feet. I took out my phone and quickly snapped a picture out the window and to post.

Getting ready for my flight and everything is beautiful. The rain will lift before out take off so thank goodness. Goodbye America!!! #OnMyMay #MyLifeChange #ToSouthKorea

I smiled at the post seeing Addeliza instantly like and comment, the rain was already beginning to clear up and sun was shining through the clouds. I look back down and see some comments already made,

Add_Eliza22: My baby is leaving!!! I love you Si have fun and stay safe!!!

Rae_Rae_132: I am jelly, you are going to be close to my Suga!!!

Itsss_Lazzy_713: Don't forget about us!

I was so into my phone that I did not notice the woman sit next to me until she accidentally bumped my shoulder.

"I'm sorry dear" she said bowing her head slightly at me. I bowed back and smiled.

"It's okay, I didn't even notice you sit." She smiled and pulled out a book, Gone With The Wind. I touched her shoulder gently and she looked at me.

"I love that book!" I said smiling, she smiled too.

"Is it good? My friend from here recommended it and I thought I might try it out." I nodded.

"It is wonderful, a must read for book lovers" We share a final smile and turn away to cotinue looking out the window.

Soon after the pilot's voice comes over the speaker.

"We will be taking off in a few short moments please buckle your seatbelts and put all electronics on airplane mode. This flight has no layovers or flight stops. Thank you and enjoy the flight." Good, that means it should be 15 hours in the air. I was awake all night packing and stressing so I was really tired, hopefully I would sleep the whole way. I buckle my seat bell and get out my phone. Unlocking it I put it on Airplane mode and plug in my headphones. I play my favorite playlist of BTS, EXO, Astro, and Stray Kids song and melt away from the world.
