Another Timezone

Chapter 1

"I can't believe we leave for our trip tomorrow!" As I looked at my phone to see this text light up my screen. It was from my best friend, Cara.

She was talking about our annual school trip. Normally we go see some stupid exhibit at the zoo or go to the mountains and study rocks. This year was totally different, we were going to Australia...

I was super scared of flying though, ever since that Malaysian airline plane went missing, I've been terrified. My dad used to be a pilot in the navy, he used to take me out on plane rides over the oceans. I love it so much, but then it all changed.... If I even want to get near a plane, I have to take a Xanax before I faint.

The plane ride is going to be 24 hours (a whole freaking day...) and our flight leaves at 5 o'clock in the morning and right now it's 1 o'clock in the morning.

I figure I should get some rest, but something just doesn't feel right. I felt this tight lump in my chest (ya know, the kind you get when you're holding back tears) and started crying. It was Ryan.

Ryan is my ex-boyfriend. He probably cheated on me 5 times and he abused me, a lot. I have scars on my wrist and legs from when he whipped me and punched me. It emotionally hurts me and physically hurt me, I don't tell anybody about it. I'm very insecure.

I just got calmed down when my phone went off, it was Cara.

"SJAJWLWDNSBWNJDJS SAM SHHWJWJEWJW GUESS WHAT THWBSWKEBFHSJ"

This is normal behaviour from her, typical fangirling.

"What? I'm trying to sleep." as I rub my droopy, stinging eyes.

I got an immediate response back saying

"ONE DIRECTION WILL BE STAYING AT THE SAME HOTEL AS WE ARE WHEN WE GO TO AUSTRALIA!!JEJWKWKEJEJEJDJ!!!!!"

Normally I don't like boybands, but I secretly like One Direction so I am freaking out a little bit.... Okay well maybe a lot :D

I read her text and replied the emoji with the blushing face.

I put my phone in its charger and got all snug and cozy, when my mom walked into my room. It was 3 in the morning.....

"You need to get your butt up now!" She yelled at me.

Shoot! I forgot I needed to be at my school and on the bus before 6.

I put on comfortable clothes, grabbed my passport, boarding pass and luggage.

I heard Cara outside honking her horn and we left for our school.

She was sobbing, still in shock that she might get to meet 'One Direction'

I just laughed and looked out at the rainy, cold morning that turned out to be a comfortable scene.

I just cannot wait until I get to that hotel.
