Jannat POV
—I sit there on a bench alone looking through my photo gallery... I scroll back a few months and come across a pic of myself with ice cream smudged on my nose and Sidd, Faisu with their tongues sticking out at the camera... we were at the green park that day... I remember it as if it's the back of my hand...
It was mid July and we had raced to the ice cream truck... all three of us got vanilla which was melting fast in the heat of mid-summer... he ate about half of his ice cream when he told me to look at a brown spot in it.. I looked down at it and he smudged it on my nose... that was a few days before we graduated...
I snap out of my little flashback as someone comes and sits next to me...—
Jaan: oh hi! Whassup?
Faisu: nothing... whatcha looking at?
Jaan: oh nothing... (He looks over my shoulder and sees the pic)
Faisu: ohhhh! I remember that day...
— I slightly smile as a slow warm feeling tugs through me at his recognition... the feeling is soon replaced by a cold shiver as I hear a sharp high-pitched voice—
Priya: BABYYY! I don't wanna stay here!
Faisu: (a very annoyed expression on his face) umm... what should I do about that!
Priya: let's go to the airport shops! (Slightly tiffing on him to go with her)
Faisu: But why the hell would we go there! They're just gonna sell stuff we eat everyday at double the price!!!
Priya: ugh! Let's go anywhere but here!
Faisu: no... we have to stay with our groups...
Jaan: (now getting bothered by her and how touchy she was) Priya... we are told to stay with our partners... I think you should go and stay with yours... I don't think that's Faisu...!
(Faisu now looking a little relieved as she lets go)
Priya: (glaring at Jaan intensely) why don't you just mind your own business! I know that you just wanna flirt with my boyfriend and that's why you want me to go away!!! And besides he's not your partner either... go go stick with your own!
Jaan: I was just about to! — I get up and walk away acting as if nothing happened but inside things start to crack... a weird lonely feeling sets into my stomach and I bite my lip to stop the tears from coming, but I can feel my eyes watering... I quickly take the water bottle out of my bag and my tears start to set in again as I take long sips of cool water... I take my phone out and there's 40 messages on what's app!—
— I open what's app and there's Rohan Mehra 40 texts, now 41 and still typing!
(Text) Rohan: you ok? Reached airport safely? ...(and all sorts of other stuff)
(Text back) Jaan: jeez! We just took the bus! You have such a wild imagination..
I'll text you back when I reach France...don't be worried I'll be just fine! I'm gonna be busy all way... I'll text you if I need anything...! Bye... love u!
Rohan: kk.. sry! Text me from France! Love u too✌️
— a slight blush forms on my face as I read the texts and I feel arms around my neck as I look back to find the one and only- Avu! Who was now tickling me as I laughed —
Jaan: girl stop it!
Avu: oooo... did I interrupt someone's flirting through texts?
Jaan: that was so not!
Sidd: sure it wasn't... cuz everyone looks at their texts and blush...!
Jaan: well... I'm sure you both do to each other's!
Avu: we so don't!
— our conversation is interrupted by a call from our guide who tells us to get into single file with our pairs... I go find Ashnoor and all of us head down to fate number 54 which is open for boarding-
— the airport is fairly empty considering that this is a very odd time of the year to fly... we get a quick check in and before we know it we're on the plane... I put my seatbelt on and take the temporary headphones out of its package as I plug it in, waiting for the channels to come on... Ashnoor beside me does the same... I hear my stomach grumbling...—
Jaan: damn I'm frickin starving!
Ashnoor: same! I'm just counting the minutes until the flight takes off so I can dig into the food they give!
(Both laugh at the sad look she gives after saying that)
— I get up and pick up my camera to take a quick pic before we take off... there's barely anyone but us in the compartment so I freely take a pic of all of us... I hold up the camera and say cheeze as everyone looks over and posses...—
Jaan: that's a keeper! (Looking At the pic I just took)
Ashnoor: god you must really love photography. Best school blogger ever! This years magazine and year book I'm definitely keeping!
— the plane starts to take off and I start watching Jumanji for about the millionth time... I pause as breakfast arrives and dig in... after that the rest of the flight just goes as usual and I sleep in for most of it... —
— I'm awoken by vigorous shaking as I open my eves to see Radhika looking up at her phone which she was holding up...(the way we take selfies)! She's filming a live vid for insta—
Radhika (at the screen): and here we have a sleeping girl! She's  the world famous Jannat Zubair! The school blogger... you can call her whatever you want! But I call her beanbag!
Jaan: whattt! When since do you call me beanbag!
Radhika: oh you're awake! Say hi to ma fans!
Jaan: Yes... there must be millions... anyway where are we!
Radhika: So should we leave her on the plane and go away? Vote on the poll below...! (Finishes the vid)
Jaan: whoa! Were you asking your fans whether or not to leave me behind on the plane or not!???
Radhika: ya duh! 94% says to take you along...
Jaan: what about the remaining 6%?
(Both laugh)
— we all exit the plane and are standing on the runway waiting for one of those small busses to come pick us up... I take my tripod stand and put it on the floor... I make everyone huddle to fit in the pic and flash... a pic with all of us posing and our plane in the background!—-
Sidd: (looking over my shoulder as I look the the pic) amazing!
— we all board the bus and drive into the airport—
— we get through the exit process and pick up our suitcases... the huge glass doors open to let us into the city of love... I breathe in the fresh air as we head to the nearby bus... taking pics of my surroundings with everyone in it too—
Jaan: (in her mind) FRANCE! Here we come!
