Chapter 7- The Photo

Chapter 7- The Photo

Our surroundings suddenly became colder and colder as we wait for the plane to take off. I could see different kind of people with us inside. There are more than 100 comfty seats inside the plane, small devices in front of each seats where you can play any game, watch any movie and listen to your favorite songs.

"Hey Ria i'll go to the restroom first" Dylan said

"Sure!" I answered as I give him my sweet smile.

As he stood up I looked outside the window and glared at New York for the last time.

"I will probably miss this place". I said to myself.

Well honeslty this was the first time that I will leave this place. I will surely miss the colorful lighted buildings every night, busy people walking in the streets, different shops and malls at the central boulevard and most especially the Statue of LIberty. Since I can't go to Paris and visited my dream Eiffel Tower, I just pretend that Statue of Liberty is the Eiffel Tower.

Aside from the place, I wil probably miss my parents. This will also be the first time that I will be away from them.

My parents never allowed me joining our school campings, or other activities where students are required to sleep in other places. Actually even just a slumber party at my friend's house is an off limit for me. I don't really know why but I think they're just thinking about my own safety. So now, eventhough I'm not with them, I'm still very happy because I am now free and can do whatever I want.

After looking out of the window, I was distracted by the noisy group behind my seat. I looked at them and I witnessed how they played jokes on each other and laugh everytime they will realize that they were in great silence. Eventhough the plane has not yet taken off, they were already enjoying the games that can be played in that small device.

Because of them, I remembered my friends again. I will surely miss Vanessa's laughters that can also make you laugh even if you don't know what's funny at all, Sylvia's stylish bags that she often lend me, Danny's jokes, and Zac's blue sports car that is always available and always there whenever we need a vehicle. In short, I will miss everything about them.

I moved my hands on my seat, caressing it's smooth texture until I felt something at Dylan's seat. I looked at it and saw a picture upside down. I looked at my surrounding, making sure that Dylan's not yet returning back. When I saw that no one's looking at me, I picked the picture and looked at it very closely.

It's an image of a girl, very beautiful girl with big curls and very cute smile. She's really very pretty! I turned the picture and saw a small word at the very bottom of the picture. I looked at it more closely and saw the word, i mean name 'TRIXIE'

Who's Trixie and why does Dylan have a picture of her.

"Perhaps he's Dylan's girlfriend" I said to myself

Girlfriend?? Hmmmm... But why am I not informed about her? Just joking.

I looked back again and saw Dylan walking toward me. I let go of the picture rapidly and looked at the window again, pretending that I didn't see that picture.

"So many people at the comfort room" Dylan said

"Oh..coool" I said, don't know what to answer.

"Cool?" He asked

"Oh...uhmmm... I mean..." I held the small device I was talking about awhile ago and looked at Dylan

"This device is very cool... I want to have one like this at home... How about you?" I continued wishing he will believe what I'm saying.

Dylan smiled and suddenly looked at his seat. I saw how his face was in great shock when he saw that he fell Trixie's picture.

He swiftly grabbed the picture and looked at me.

I pretended that I'm not looking at him so I looked at the window again.

"Ria?" He said

"Yeah?" I answered

"You saw this photo?" He asked

"Photo?" I answered... Pretending that I don't know anything about it

"Ria I know you saw this.., It's alright I'm not going to reprimand you. Actually I brought this to show it to you."

"Oh! Sorry I didn't mean t-----" he suddenly interrupted me

"It's not your fault" he said while laughing

"What's funny?"

"No...nothing.."

"So who is she?

"Well actually Trixie's my... Uhmm cousin! Yeah! She's my favorite cousin"

"Why you look not so sure?"

"No really she's my cousin! I just wanted to show this to you because you really look like her"

"Me?"

"Yes... Why you don't believe me?"

"No!"

"Why not? You're very pretty"

"Funny Dylan! Ok want to play? You're cute"

"Wait I'm telling the truth... You're beautiful and I.....I... Like...I like this device too." He said.

"Told you it's great" I said. I can't believe it... He thought that I really like that device.

After this long statement our plane started to take off. I started reaching out for the earphones connected to the Super Device... Now I know what it's called.

After a few minutes, I felt very sleepy not only because it's my first time riding a plane but also because I slept very late last noght and woke up too early awhile ago.

Before taking a nap, I looked at Dylan

"Dylan I will just have a short nap for a while."

"Sure have a nice nap" he answered.
