Chapter 3: 

D-27.  

That's my place in the airplane. I sit and wait to see if someone else is sitting by my side. A few minutes pass, and no one comes, so I decided to move to the window and cover head with my jacket that has a hoodie. Then I let the tears drop.  

Why had my mom said she had loved me like a DAUGHTER? Wasn't I her daughter? Was I adopted? I needed answers! 

I was there, silently sobbing my heart out, when a voice interrupted me. 

"Uhm, excuse me? I think that's my seat..." 

I looked up and saw a guy. He was tall, with dark hair covering his forehead and part of his emerald green eyes. When he saw my face, he instantly went white. I realized I had been staring a while and forgotten about my tears. I quickly dried them up and put on a fake smile, "Sorry, ignore the tears. It's just I'm gonna miss my home." 

I didn't receive the reaction I was hoping for. He just went whiter and sat down.  

"Uhm, do you want your seat?" I asked him. 

He seemed to be in deep thought, but when he heard me, he relaxed and shook his head. 

"Nah, its fine, there's no one else coming. We are already taking off. Besides, I like for the hallway seat. Easier to get to the bathroom." 

I laughed at that. He seemed to relax even more when I laughed and put his arms over his head. I stretched my hand and said, "By the way, I'm Scarlett." 

He smiled and took my hand. "I'm Gabriel. Nice meeting you." He then let go. I felt disappointed when he let go. Besides, Nice meeting you? That's all? I thought he was more easy-going. I smiled and turned to the window. I watched the clouds that were under us and took out my IPod. I put on shuffle and listened to "The Other Side of the Door" by Taylor Swift, so I didn't hear when he asked me, "So why did you said you were going to miss your home?" I just heard a mumble so I put pause and said, "sorry, IPod. What did you said?" 

He repeated the question. My smile fell down. 

"Oh, well, uhm, I'm actually on my way to a boarding school for four years, so I won't be seeing my...my mother again in a long time." Or ever again. 

He nodded," I know how you feel. I'm also on my way to a boarding school." 

I was surprised.  

"Which one?" I asked.  

"The Academy of Bright Young People in Italy. Also called the ABYP Italy. You can pronounce it like a-beep," he answered. "You?" 

I suddenly realized my mom hadn't told me my school name! I began to panic. How will I know which one was it? What if I got lost? 

"I...I don't know! Oh my god! What am I going to do?!" I cried as I put my head in my hands.  

I felt a hand on my back. I looked up and saw Gabriel looking at me. "Don't worry, you'll know it." 

I didn't know what to say, so I nodded and layed back to have some rest. Then I remember he had said academy in Italy. I opened my eyes and looked at him. He felt my stare and turned. 

"Yes?" he asked. 

"You said Italy didn't you?" I asked. 

"Yes..." he answered.  

"I'm going in a plane to Italy when we arrive at Toronto. Maybe it's the same school?" I asked hopefully. 

He smiled. I took that as a maybe. I went back to sleeping, when I heard someone whisper "I knew you would know it..." I opened my eyes and looked towards Gabriel.  

"Did you said something?" I whispered. He didn't answer. Then I saw his chest rise and fell slowly. He was asleep.  

Maybe I just imagined it...
