SIDEWAYS

Chapter 1: All in a days rush

*Alarm clock beeps* Aika hears her alarm going off but ignores it. "5 more minutes" aika groans barely able to open her eyes. She finally turns to her side then turns the alarm clock off.

"Aika!" her mother yells. "Hurry up! We're going to miss our flight." she yells. Aika's heart drops remembering that she's moving from her hometown Colorado, to Los angelos California that day. "Shit, I knew I shouldn't of stayed up that late." she then begins to jump up and get ready. She turns and looks at the clothes she
placed on her dresser for today. "Hoodie and

sweats, that'll do." she then yawns. "Specially after the jet lag I am going to have." Aika says. She hears her mother yell once again. "Aika, I'm not going to tell you again. It's time to leave." Aika then throws her tennis shoes on and grabs her suitcases. "Finally, I thought you were never going to come." Aika's mother says

rushingly. "Oh don't be so dramatic mom, I didn't take that long." Aika says with a smile on her face. She then rushes to the car with her mother, then they begin to drive to the airport. "Lord, I didn't even get to brush my hair." Aika says bringing her brush out. Aika's mother

then looks at her with a weird expression on her face. "So you're going to brush your hair in the car?" she says chuckling. Aika then starts to laugh also. "Well yeah, it's new beginning's I wanna make a good first impression." Aika says replying to her mother's question. "Aika, a good impression on who? the pilot?" then

starts to laugh. Aika scrunched her nose "No, I
just wanna feel comfortable you know?." She says. Her mother laughs again. "Alright hun." 30 minutes pass and they arrive at the airport. Before they board the plane Aika looks out the window of the airport. "Goodbye Colorado, I'll

see you soon." she sighs then continues behind her mother. About an hour in on the plane Aika begins to feel a kick on the back of her seat. She looks behind her and it's a small girl. Aika then says nicely as possible "Hey sweetheart, could you not kick my seat please?" The girl looks at

her and smiles. Aika turns back around and reads a book. 10 minutes pass and she feels another kick on the back of her seat. She turns around once again and says to the child "Aye, little one I said stop." she child looks at her and smiles then continues to kick her seat. "Listen here brat, quit kicking my damn seat." Aika says grinding her teeth. The child gets a pale

look on her face and quits. Several naps, drooling and book reading later. Aika's mother looks at her and says "Look we're here." Aika looks out the plane window in amazement.
