A Twist Of Fate

Chapter 8

CHAPTER 8

SCARKETT'S POV

“The plane will now be landing, could everyone please secure themselves and we will be landing safely very shortly.” The announcer called from the speakers.

I suddenly realise what im doing, push him away and put my seat belt on. I turned to see him confused as well as shocked.

“Hurry up and put your seat belt on!”  I retorted.

He snapped out of his frozen state and quickly put his seat belt on and smiled at me. It was funny because no matter how hard I try to think different, I am sitting here next to a guy I just met but also whom I just shared a very emotional hug with. As soon as I hop off this plane we will never see each other again, we will become strangers and the things is, is that I don’t want that. At the start, yeah I didn’t care what would happen. But now that we have spent 20 something hours together and with everything that happened, I thought we really got along. But I guess that’s what happens. I mean I already left my best friend half way across the world, so why was it so hard to say goodbye to him?

Turbulence kicked in as we descended to the ground and with one final bump we had landed. I looked outside to see the clear blue sky surrounding by mountain terrain and big skyscrapers. This was going to be my new home; this was going to be the start of my new life. I chuckled at the thought of Michael Bubbles song ‘it’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new life for me and im feeling good’ but the things is, is that that song was like my background music of a drama on TV!

“Thank you for your cooperation during this very long plane ride and I hope you enjoy this destination.”  The speaker calls through the isle.

I unclipped my seatbelt and stood up, patted down my shorts and reached my hand down under the seat and brought back up my purple and blue, light purple swirled carryon bag. I grabbed my phone and turned to see Noah holding his suitcase in one hand, and mine in the other. I looked at him in slight confusion but ended with a thank you nod. I arrive into the isle to people trying to rush out, probably because they hadn’t gone to the toilet the whole trip and their bladder was about to burst. Well, at least mine was about to anyway. The most awkward thing is when there are people bashing behind you and you’re bashing into the guy you just shared an intimate hug with. Suddenly I saw him turned his head.

His eyes filled with all these different emotions and suddenly he grabbed my hand and flung me in front of him, i turned back and smiled seeing that he was taking all of the bumps for me. We walked down the tunnel and i look down to see that we were still holding hands, i reluctantly unslipped my hand and put it by my side and the funny thing was is that he didnt even notice.

I travelled down the tunnel and at the end of the tunnel I saw the door which would open a new door for me, the new door of my life. We were set free from the crowd and roaming at our own pace. I felt his presence beside me as he walked brushed past my shoulder. I searched around for mum, but I couldn’t find her.

“Muuummm!” I yelled. 

“Muuuummm!” I yelled a little louder.

I searched around until I hit something and collided with the ground and while in the process, my phone decided to take flight. I looked up to see who it was and I couldn’t believe my eyes.

“Sorrrryy!” I said as I turned to him.

“So we met like this and now we are going to leave like this?” He said as he furrowed his eyebrows.

“Well, let’s hope we meet like this again.” He finished ended it with a wink, followed by the wolf smile that drives me crazy! My heart flustered and my legs swooned.

I grabbed the nearest phone and stormed out of the tunnel, oblivious to who I might bump into, as long as I get away before he sees me blushing. I saw mum just as the reach of my hand when I heard him scream out my name.

“Scarlett! Byee~~” He ended with an energetic wave.

I sighed as I face palmed myself in embarrassment. 

I heard my mum chuckle behind me and I turned to give her a death stare. 

I turned back to face Noah.

“Byee!” I said as I waved goodbye.

I turned back to mum and gestured her to go. 

“What exactly happened on the plane?” Mum asked me out of curiosity.

“Nothing, we just sat next to each other and we became friends” I answered, ending with a sigh.

Why did I feel so sad about leaving him? I mean he was the rudest person to me when we first went onto the plane but I think that us being together for such a long time you get feelings for them? Well not feelings, but you become somewhat attached. Yes, attached.

Mum and I walked out of the tunnel and made our way to the huge glass doors that separated us from the outside world.

Mum and I were about three steps away. 3, 2, 1. We exited the big glass to reveal a clear blue sky with no signs of clouds in the sky. The car park was the size of two football fields and in the background was huge high rise buildings scattered everywhere.

Mum told me that the hotel wasn’t far away from here so we decided to get the taxi. As I looked through the window I saw huge palm trees in perfect alignment along what I thought was the main road. We entered an area that had he TV spread out everywhere, showing different ads. It had hundreds of people walking on the side walk, in a hurry to get somewhere.

“Where are we?” I asked the cab driver.

“We are driving through Time Square” He answered.

I looked out the window in fascination. We drove way out to the country side of America and even everything there fascinated me. My Nan lives out in the outback of America so we are going to stay there a few nights to settle in and get rid of our jetlag.

The car started to slow down in front of the old country house, with a huge space of grass all around it; it had the traditional white patio with two rocking chairs perch into it. I still don’t know why she kept two there because my grandpa died 3 years ago. I guess she still hasn’t gotten over it.

The cab stops to let us out. Mum and I hop out of the air condition car to a boiling oven, hopefully they have a pool here, otherwise im going to die. I grab the very few bags that are in the trunk while mum pays the cab driver. I look up to the house and smirk.

Im going to love America.
