I stood in front of my mirror and looked at myself. It was about the third outfit I had tried, the longer I stared the worse I looked.

"Skai, hurry up, we're going to miss our flight!" My mom called up the stairs. I looked in the mirror again and checked what I was wearing. I was wearing plain black leggings, a floral crop top, black vans, and my platinum blonde hair was straightened and I had a few bracelets, necklaces, and rings on. I took a deep breathe, turned around, grabbed my bags and headed for the stairs.

"That's what you're wearing to the airport? Don't you want to be comfortable?" My mom asked when she saw me. I shrugged my shoulders.

"If I see chase at the airport I dont want him to see me looking homeless."

She rolled her eyes at me. "Skai Adella Jennings, you would not look homeless if you wore..I dont know..sweatpants maybe?" It was my turn to cringe, sweatpants? Don't get me wrong, I had nothing against them but I needed the first time I saw him to be special, I needed to look cute. We threw our bags in the car and drove to my best friend Valerie's house. We pulled up in the front of her house and she immediately came running outside with a huge smile on her face. She climbed into the back seat and sat next to me.

"Oh my God, I'm SO excited!!" She squealed stomping her feet on the car floor. I was too. I think we were all excited.

"Me too." I said smiling at her and then looking out the window. I fell asleep on the thirty minute drive to the airport and woke up to Valerie shaking me.

"Get up, we're here!" Her face was about an inch away from mine.

I was dazed but happy that we were at the airport. We were going to be flying from South Dakota to Florida, which is only a few hours. We found a parking space, grabbed our luggage and started to head into the huge airport. I was so excited. If I haven't already said that enough. We went through everything we had to go through, checked our bags, got our tickets, and went to sit in the waiting area. It felt like forever, time was dragging on and there was nothing I could do about it.

Finally they called for people to board the flight. We stood up and got in the line of people, they scanned our tickets and let us go in. We quickly found our seats and sat down. My mom had gotten a seat in first class and Valerie and I were sitting next to each other in the back of the plane. My mom was only coming on this trip to "get away from it all" and not to babysit us, so we knew that meant that we would have to fend for ourselves the two weeks that we would be down in Florida.

She even got her own hotel room. I pushed the window slide open so I could look out at the workers. I hated having the window closed, even when i wanted to sleep. And i always sat at a window seat, It was one of my superstitions. I shoved my earbuds into my ears and Val did the same. 30 minutes into the flight we were both passed out. I always slept on flights, even if they were only an hour long. It was something about a plane that put me to sleep, fast.

They're not comfortable so I have no idea why, but I've never stayed awake through a full flight. We landed in Orlando, Florida. It was so pretty. I had always been obsessed with palm trees, so seeing them in person was amazing.

"Playlist is going to be amazing! I can just feel it." Val squeaked as we walked into the airport. I just smiled, I was truly speechless. We went to grab our suitcases when we saw girls, a lot of them too.

"You dont think?..." Val trailed off.

"That Chase is here?!" I screeched grabbing her arm.

"Okay, yeah, ow, you're hurting me. Yeah, that's what I was going to say." She glanced down at my sharp nails.

"Sorry." I said.

"You know what, let's go get our suitcases and then well check it out, that's the responsible thing to do. Plus, we dont know what's going on over there anyways."

"We're unsupervised, we dont have to be responsible for two weeks Val, besides, you wouldn't want to miss the chance to meet payton, would you?" I asked her, knowing that was her weak spot.

"Urggh, fine. Well walk over there, see what's going on, if its them well say hi, take pictures and get our damn suitcases." She had her arms crossed over her chest, but I knew she was happy because she was doing a horrible job at hiding her smile. We walked over to the dozens of teenage girls. Instantly the scent of about 1,000 different Victoria's Secret perfumes hit me. Geez, remind me never to go near this many girls at once again. We shoved our way through the crowd, and sure enough, we saw payton and chase. What were the odds of that happening? Of course I wanted to see them, but I didn't expect it.

Chase was smiling, he looked so happy. His smile was contagious, so I smiled too. Payton was taking a picture with a girl, he was kissing her on the cheek and her friends look totally jealous. I wanted to wait my turn, all of those girls had been here way before Val and I had been. Chase saw us and waved his hand motioning that we should come over to him. We must have pushed to the front of the line because there were about thirty girls behind us glaring at us.

"Who's going to take a picture of us with chase?" I said to val.

"I've got this." Payton said, and I handed him my phone. He snapped a few pics of the three of us, a few with just me and chase and a few with only Val, then it was chase's turn to do the same thing while we took pictures with payton.
