Paradise

Chapter 4

Chapter 4:

We had just arrived at the airport with about 4 each, but Grace only had 2 as she was a very light packer. We were all so excited that we had all left 2 hours earlier than we were supposed to, so we went to Starbucks. Sophie and Molly got a Strawberries and Cream Frappuccino (with extra cream on the top), Luci got a tall skinny latte, Grace got banana smoothie (the healthy option), Darcey ordered a latte, and Nikki and I got a Hot Chocolate with 2 sugar cubes. 

We had broken off into two groups one that consisted of the aggressive ones (Molly and Sophie) who were planning some sort of prank for the overnight flight, and the rest of us, we were just talking about the usual- guys, clothes and holidays. 

When the time had finally come to go through security, we were all hyped up after at least 6 packets of odd fellows. Mine and Grace's favorite lollies. 

Beep! Beep!

I was just putting my shoes on when Molly's Doc Martins came through the security thing- when someone shouted:

"Pocket Knife! Pocket Knife! We found a Pocket Knife!"

I saw Molly go red as she march over to the man who was shouting, she snatched the knife out of his hands. Someone grabbed her from behind and took it out of her hands and threw it in to the bin.

"NOOOOOOOOOO!" Molly screamed.

Then it was followed by another few beeps, and a shout from Sophie, they yanked a metal compass from her sock. I saw Nikki chuckle, then braced herself for what was going to happen next. But this time Sophie punched the guy in the stomach. The compass fell down the drain as she did so. 

"NOOOOOOOOOO!" Sophie screamed.

They were both on their knees in tears. Darcey and I picked them off their feet and dragged then toward the seating area, where you go before the plane takes off. We all sat there listening Molly and Sophie whimpered away to themselves and eating lollies.

Ding! "Would people flying to Hawaii please come to the boarding station. I repeat can everyone on flight 214 to Hawaii please come to the boarding station. Thanks." 

I grab my carry-on bag, and every one stood up making loud rustling noises as all the lollie wrappers fell to the ground. I smiled as I picked up 4 odd fellow bags and threw them in the bin. This was bad- this meant we only had 2 left for the plane ride! What if they didn't have any in Hawaii? I quickly walked over to Grace, and told her about the dilemma. She screamed, then ran to the desk lady and bellowed:

"I REALLY HOPE YOU GUYS EITHER HAVE A BIG SUPPLY OF ODD FELLOWS IN HAWAII OR HAVE SOME ON BOARD, BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T I WILL HAVE A TALK TO THE AGGRESSIVE ONES", she says as she points towards Molly and Sophie who were still red in the face from having their weapons taken of the.

"Yes, we do sell Odd Fellows during the plane ride" said the young and groomed lady hesitantly.

Grace turned and smiled at me as she pulled a fifty dollar note out of her bag. I smiled back- slightly worried but happy that I would get to eat Odd Fellows. I saw Luci give me a funny look followed by a sympathetic one given by Darcey. Darcey was not only looking at me but brushing her hair with a small and compact brush. I laughed to myself. 

---------------------

We found are seats down- first class seats as Sophie's Dad wouldn't let us go on economy. I was very happy about this. I sat beside Grace. Luci and Darcey sat across from us and of course Sophie and Molly were together with Nikki. Grace was on the Isle ready to ask for 15 million Odd Fellow packets. 

I saw Molly and Sophie smile at each other as she pulled the top of a pen out of her bag.

"Sharpie"

SHIT. SHIT SHIT SHIT. I did not want be completely embarrassed when i awoke on the other side of the world next to some older men on business trips. I had to warn the others. But how?
