Leaving the Island

6

Still sitting here in the rain on this small boat, with a man I don't even know, while knowing my parents just drowned in a ship wreck.

What do I do now? Papa told me to get on the plane, but should I still do it? There nothing left of me I'm Greece. Maybe I should just start over in America, where no one knows me or what happened. This will be a secret that no one will know about. This is my little dark secret. I can't let anyone know. I can't let anyone in either.

It has stopped raining, so I pull out my papas bag. It had many rolls of money, plane tickets, a key, passports, and a paper with the our new home adress on it. One flight from Greece to California. One flight.

One flight that will change my life.

Once we reach the main land, I hop off the ship and run. I don't know where I run to, but I keep running.

I stop running to catch my breathe, and I look to see where I am. The airport.

My clothes managed to dry off very quickly, but they are still very damp.

I walk inside the doors of the airport, and find out where the gate is. I got through security and find my gate. I sit there and think about everyone that's happened.

I wake out of my thoughts and feel very uncomfortable with damp clothes.

I decide since I still have an hour to wait for the plane because of the weather, I might as well explore and find some dry clothes.

I walk down the hall with my two bags and camera. I see a little shop with clothes for sale. I quickly walk in. I grab a black sweatshirt that has neon blue letters, spelling something in Ancient Greek. My parents always spoke to me in English, yet I still have an accent cuz I spoke Greek with them sometimes and usually with the people of the town.

Well now I don't have parents to speak to me anymore..

I know I should be moarning over their death but I know they wouldn't want me to do that. And I'm not much of a crier. Don't get me wrong, I love my parents and I'm dying inside because they are gone but I have to stay strong.

I grabbed leggings as well and walked up the the cashier. I paid for the clothes and walked out back to my seat at the gate.

A hungry feeling starting to settle in my stomach, and I looked for a food stand. I found a McDonalds. I stepped in line and looked at the menu. I decided on a McGriddle, fries and a coffee. I looked at a clock on the wall. It was only 9 am and I already lost everything. But not everything. I had a new home and I can have a new life. I ordered my food, happily taking it a few minutes later and munched on some fries as I walked back to my seat. I pulled my McGriddle, two small pancakes with a sausage patty in the middle to make a sandwhich, and ate it quickly. Who knew ship wrecks were made you so hungry.

I walked to the bathroom to change into my new clothes. I put my fairly dry clothes into my bag and walked out with my coffee.

I drank my coffee until I heard the intercom say my flight was now boarding. Wow. This was it. Once I step on that plane, I can't get off.

I throw away my trash and give the lady my ticket. She smiled, thanked me, and told me to have a good flight. I have her a small smile and said thank you.

I walked through the hallway leading to the plane. I looked at one of the tickets I pulled out, and looked for the seat number. 29C. Okay well sounds like it's in the middle of the plane then. That shouldn't be to bad.

I've never been on a plane before, but it sounds exciting. The plane ride should be about 22 hours. Wow. 22 hours of boredome. Also I don't have anyone to sit by because my parents were supposed to sit next to me.

Once I finally got to to my seat, I put the two bags in the fround infront of me. I put my bag inside papa's so I would only carry one bag. And his bag is bigger then mine.

I looked out the window when I felt like we were moving a little. I looked at the ground and saw that we were moving. Faster and faster!

I got a little excited because this was a new adventure and I never rode a plane before. I wish my parents would have been here. They would've loved it like I was.

Stop thinking about them. You need to get your head together.

The little voice in my head told me.

Once we were in the higher In the air, the intercom lady told us we were free to move about. I looked around the plane. There weren't very many people and there were a lot if empty seats.

I turned my head back and stopped looking through all the people.

Soon after I felt a presence right next to me. I looked over to see who had sat in the seat next to me.

It was a boy who looked the around the same age as me. He was actually really cute.

"Hello, I'm my names Dave Franco."

I really hate fan fiction but I couldn't come up with a name that represents Dave Franco better.
This isn't a fan fiction it's just the actor Dave Franco, like any other normal teen.
