chapter 19

WORD COUNT: 1389

The plane ride wasn't that bad, really. I slept most of the time so that I would feel refreshed and ready once we landed in France.

The time I wasn't sleeping, though, I was flipping through Teen Vogue, eating candy, laughing with Nyla, and listening to music. The plane also had TV so we watched The Office and Captain America.

We finally arrived in France, but we still wouldn't be landing for about an hour. I looked out my window and saw what I assumed to be the region of Brittany meeting the Atlantic. It was so breathtaking, but it was night so I couldn't see most of it. It was probably 1000 times prettier during the day. I checked my phone, and sure enough it was already 11pm over there.

"Nyla! Wake the fuck up! We almost here!" I whisper yelled.

She rolled over in her sleep. "I'm tired."

"Look out the window though."

"I'm okay." She mumbled.

I sighed and stared at the window, looking at all the lights of the coastal towns.

I eventually fell asleep, and woke up to the flight attendant announcing we would be beginning our descent.

I tried to look out the window again, and this time I could see all of the Parisian lights, but I couldn't really see the Eiffel Tower because it was 12am. It was okay though, because I would see it all tomorrow.

We started to land, and it kind of scared me because it was like a rush of energy, and it really shook me when we landed on the ground. I felt weird.

"We are in Paris bitchhh!" I woke Nyla up this time.

"I'm just so excited to go to our hotel room and sleep." She chuckled.

"Fuck you then." I spat back.

We all got off the plane and waited at the gate to meet our teachers, who then took us to baggage claim.

I was looking for my bag, when Jahseh came over to me. "You look beautiful despite being on a trans-continental flight, and sleeping half the time.

"Uh, thanks." I half-smiled.

"It just had to be said." He shrugged, taking a sip of his energy drink. "I'm going clubbing after this, you should come."

"I'm underage."

"Bet. In Paris, I heard that you can drink wine and beer and shit at 16, you can probably go to some places. Please?"

"Uh, Fine. I'll text you when I get ready though, I'll meet you in the hotel lobby."

"Great."

Nyla and I ended up sharing a room, we opened the door and it was actually really nice inside.

There were 2 beds, both really clean, and the room was furnished beautifully.

I immediately ran to the window, like a child, and took in the view of the city. You could clearly see the Eiffel Tower all lit up, the the streets bright with cars.

It was amazing, and truly astonishing. I've seen pictures of the building ever since I could remember, but to see it in real life was really something else.

I went back to my bed, by the window, and set all my stuff down, and started getting changed to go meet Jahseh.

"Where are you off to? You know our curfew is like, 7pm, right?" Nyla laughed.

I slipped on a bodysuit. "I'm going clubbing with Jahseh."

"Ooh, can I come?"

"Thought you were 'tired'" I mocked.
