I walked onto the plane behind Molly and Kate. It was cold and there wasn't a lot of space to move around. I ended up being sat on the isle seat- which had its perks (promised extra leg room for when i needed to stretch!!) Behind me, followed Charlie, Joe and then Declan. "Oh look," declan said sitting down into the soft with wear leather seats. "it looks like you're gonna have to deal with me talking down your ear and singing for the next eight and a half hours.
"Shut it McKenna," i said. He pulled an over enthused shocked face at me and i giggled to myself. Once a few more people had boarded the plane, we were officially ready for take off. The air hostess' began their safety precautions and we all tried to look as interested as we could. Then, the planes engine began to rumble and the seatbelt light above my head lit up vibrant red. Everyone fastened then as we approached the runway. The plane began to speed up quickly, building pressure and then easing up into the sky.
Once we were safety flying, we were allowed to undo our seat belts and go back on our phones. "What's your number then Cass?" Dec turned to me and asked as I loaded up my netflix.
"Why do you want my number you weirdo?" I raised my eyebrows at him as he searched his mind for a reply.
"Uhhh, just in case... we're out one day and I lose you and the group. D-d-don't worry though, I will get the numbers of your friends too," he blushed ever so slightly.
"Wow mckenna, how charming," I said winking at him, I held out my hand and he placed his phone into it. I entered my number under the name of 'Cass 💿' and handed it back to him.
"Thank you," He said grinning at me softly. We held eye contact for what felt like minutes before we both turned away in sync and routed through our bags. He was so perfect. I'm sorry WHAT did I just think?? What's going on with me? shook it off and picked out my noise cancelling warnings and loaded up 'England is mine' which I had pre-downloaded on netflix. I couldn't focus on the film though, as hard as I tried.
Was it because I didn't find the film interesting? No. I had watched it several times and each time was still left in awe at the beautiful cinematography. Was it because I was tired? No not really, the adrenaline of adventure and flying was busy keeping me up. Was it because I had things on my mind? Sort of.
I'm not saying that Declan was the only thing going on in my mind, because he wasn't. There was so much whizzing around in my mind, my thoughts were chaotic and felt cramped inside but at the same time my brain felt drastically empty. But he was there, right at the front driving me crazy.
I found myself asking myself endless amounts of questions. Did he like me too? Did I even like him? Was I just tired? Or was he actually into me? Or was he just the first boy I'd seen? What was he thinking about right now? About me? Probably not. Probably another girl. Was there another girl? He didn't mention a girl when we were introducing each other earlier. Maybe I could be his girl? What am I talking about. I feel insane, I've known him for less than a day and I'm planning our life out together. I liked this boy.I threw my head back into the rest and tried to piece my thoughts together. This boy, he was just a boy. Nothing more, nothing less. At most a friend, I mean we'd only shared one conversation together and a tiny bit of friendly and slightly flirtatious behaviour when it fitted.
The lights on the plane dimmed, snapping me out of my train of thought. I looked around me to see Molly and Katie both sound asleep. I looked over on my other side and leaned as far as I could. Charlie and joe were both asleep, then I looked at Dec who was wide awake like I'd imagined. He turned on his phone and began to text someone, that's when I got the notification of someone's number texting me.
