LOREN
i just boarded the plane to hawaii and i'm super excited to see sunny, kian, and jc. but i'm still really confused on why sunny would tell me that they're getting married over a facetime call. i don't even know for sure if that's what she said. but i do know i'm going to be in hawaii in eight hours.
"hi excuse me would you mind moving in the next seat? i don't really like the middle." a guy comes up and asks in sweetest voice possible. "of course. it's all yours. after all it's an eight hour flight might as well be comfy." i say smiling and scooting to the next seat. "you're quite chipper. it's five in the morning?" he says sitting down next to me. "yeah. i get to see my sister and her fiancé. and my boyfriend." i say excitedly. i just called jc my boyfriend. "he's not my boyfriend." i correct quickly. "so you're going to hawaii to see your sister, soon-to-be brother-in-law, and your not boyfriend? what's the occasion?" he asks laughing a little. "well i think my sister is getting married. she face timed me two days ago and told me to fly down and the last second before she hung up she told me she's getting married." i say smiling. "what a lovely way to tell your sister the news." he says laughing. his accent is cute. "if you don't mind me asking, where are you from?" i ask turning to face him entirely. "the accent give it away?" he asks chuckling. "a little." i say tucking a piece of hair behind my ear looking down. "new zealand." he answers. "really? what brought you to la then?" "just visiting. my friend lives out here. i work in vancouver we're done until next season." he explains. "season?" i ask curiously. "the tv show i work for. we just finished filming season two." he answers.
"what show is it? maybe i've heard of." i say. "riverdale." "what do you know? i have! i've never watched it. although when i was younger i read the comics. but i don't have the time lately." i explain. "well maybe you could make the time for it?" he suggests laughing. "i can sure try." i say laughing as well. "so does the beautiful girl have a name?" he asks leaning in a little bit making me blush intensely. "loren." i answer putting my hand out to shake. "kj." he responds shaking my hand. "i told you why i'm going to hawaii. what about you? anything special?" i ask him with genuine curiosity. "just for fun. never been and i finally have a break from work so i'm taking advantage of it. my cast mates are going to be there also." he explains. "that must be nice. you know. getting a break from work." i assume. "i'm always working. photo shoots here on this day. then another shoot later that day somewhere completely different. then i have to juggle school as well. it's busy but i wouldn't want a new job. i'm living the dream." i complain but in the same sense fall in love thinking about how amazing my life turned out to be. "if you haven't caught on i'm a model." i explain just in case. "you got the part quite nice." he says. "thank you. and archie did get hot." i say before putting in my headphones and start playing my music. i wake up soon after i fall asleep and it turns out i'm four hours away from hawaii still. i look to my right and see kj sleeping with his head rested on his hand leaning towards the isle. i rest my head on his shoulder and drift back into a daze of meaningless dreams.
"loren." a boy with an accent says getting me to wake up. it was kj. the nice boy i met on the plane who was an actor for the new tv show riverdale. "i'm up." i say quietly rubbing the sleep from my eyes. "the flights only got a few minutes left." he says. i check the time. "and by that do you mean an hour?" i ask chuckling. "you can't blame me for wanting to know the girl on the plane a little more before we part ways." he says excusing himself. "it would be a pleasure." i say tucking the same piece of hair behind my ear as before. "so what do you want to know?" i ask turning my body to face him more. "everything. after all i'll most likely never see you again. tell me something no one else knows." he says. "when i was 18 i almost committed suicide." i say honestly. "oh, i'm sorry." he says placing his hand on my knee and rubbing it. "it's nothing to be sorry about. it's a part of me. there's nothing i can change now. now it's your turn to tell me something no one else knows." i say to keep the conversation going. "i couldn't ride a bike on two wheels until class 8." he says chuckling. "really?" i ask shocked. "me too!" i say laughing along with him. the next hour passes in a blur and we're getting off the plane. "hey! can i get your number? in case you're in la and want to meet up?" i ask grabbing his elbow to stop him from walking away. "of course." he says giving me his number. "have an amazing time with your sister, brother in law, and not boyfriend." he says hugging me goodbye and walking in the opposite direction. i turn around and look for a sign. LOREN GRAY BEECH. the sign read my name hiding a face behind it. the piece of paper slips away and there standing behind it is my sister. the literal light to my life. i run up and hug her. "hey sunny!" i say into her hair. "hi lo." she responds. we end our embrace and grab my bag from the ground. "now about that marriage thing." i start.
