The Unthinkable (Degrassi Fan Fiction)

Part 1

Fiona Coyne gazed at the clock, waiting outside of Gate B12 at Toronto Pearson International Airport. It was an early Sunday morning. Beside her was Declan, her identical twin brother, and her mother, Laura Coyne, was at the check-in desk talking to the airport staff. Excitement was evident on Fiona’s face, as she was eagerly excited to go Spain for her Spring Break trip. Fiona had bragged at her high school, Degrassi about going to Spain for Spring Break. She had great expectations for the trip. Go sight-seeing, get a tan, meet a special somebody…

“Flight 229 to Barcelona, Spain has been cancelled.” said the PA speakers at the airport. Fiona’s heart sank. She looked at Declan, who was sleeping, and tried to wake him up.

“Declan, Declan! Our flight just got cancelled.” she announced to Declan, who was on his phone, texting. He ignored her completely. Her mother sat down next to her.

“Our flight just got cancelled honey, and the next flight to Spain will be next week.” her mother explained. 

“What? But by then Spring Break will almost be over! I had so many plans and —”

“We can pick another destination,” Mama Coyne said, consoling her daughter’s spoiled attitude. 

“We could go to Mexico,” Declan said, imitating maracas.

“Or maybe Monaco. I heard it was absolutely beautiful down there, Fi.” Mama Coyne suggested.

“It wouldn’t be the same.” Fiona retorted, leaning her head on the palms of her head.

“Well, then I’ll pick it.” Mama Coyne stated, walking up to the desk to look for possible vacation spots.

“Declan, I wanted to go shopping, find a star fish, maybe have a spring fling…” Fiona complained to her brother. Declan rolled his eyes. Mrs. Coyne returned, with a large grin on her face.

“We're going to Jamaica!” she exclaimed, looking for the reaction on Fiona and Declan’s faces. Declan was ecstatic, but Fiona squinted her eyes, like she always would before a tantrum.

“Why would I want to go to some third world country and call it a vacation?” asked Fiona, standing up on her feet, yelling at her mother and Declan.

“It doesn't matter what you say because I’ve already booked a flight to Kingston. We’ll be staying at a resort. We’re going to Jamaica. Whether you like it or not.” said Mama Coyne, in a way that quieted Fiona down, ending the conversation.

Within four hours, the Coynes arrived at Kingston. As Fiona exited the plane, the blazing sun and humid heat hit her body almost instantly. She almost couldn’t see with the sun’s light blinding her. They later arrived at their hotel, awaiting to explore the country.

“It’s almost noon. That gives us a whole day to see what this place is about. Come on, Fiona.” Declan says, signaling for Fiona to come. Fiona opens her laptop, ignoring Declan’s enthusiasm.

“No. I rather go skype Holly J then go out there.”

That’s when Mama Coyne closed Fiona’s laptop, demanding her to go with Declan. At first Fiona resisted, but surrendered when she realized the argument was pointless.

Down in the lobby, Fiona was on the couch, waiting for Declan to decide on a destination. He finally came up with the idea to go to the beach a couple blocks away from the hotel.

“It’ll be fun, Fi.” he said, explaining it to her. Fiona rolled her eyes and followed Declan outside the hotel, walking to the beach.

Author’s Note:

Part 1 is definitely not the most exciting. But Part 2 will come TOMORROW (I PROMISE), and that’s when things start to get a little more interesting. I decided to end this part here because I simply wanted to see how people would like it. I’ve never distributed my work to people, especially to the internet, so please give some criticism here and there, I can take it. Also, I might post Part 2 around 1 AM because I have Track Practice tomorrow and don’t know how I can fit it in, but it should be posted by tomorrow. ~ Ciao
