Chapter 8
I woke up multiple times during the long flight but I still slept for the majority of it, as did Deron.
Around what my phone said was 10 a.m. we were both awake at the same time and decided to watch a movie on my laptop. He really wanted to watch Aladin for some reason and he had brought it along with him. So we watched Aladin and pigged out on peanuts and coke.
A couple hours later I woke up and Deron was still sleeping. His head was on my lap and he was curled up in his chair.
I pulled a blanket over him and patted his back soothingly.
I had never been around kids that much, but for some reason they still love me. Most kids were cute, but some were just plan annoying.
About 11 hours later we finally arrived at Croyden Airport in London, England.
Once we landed I said goodbye to Deron and his family and got off of the plane. I texted both Brittany and Danny I had landed safely before looking around and trying to find the baggage claim. Once I find that I can start looking for the boy who is supposed to be picking me up, Paul's son Alex.
I noticed two rather good looking boys at me and decided to go ask them where it was.
"Excuse me, but do you happen to know where the baggage claim is?"
"The what?" One of them asked in an oh-so-perfect English accent
"Baggage claim, you know, where you pick up your bags from?" The boy was taller than me and had sandy-blonde hair that fell just above his bright blue eyes. He was fit, definitely, and had a few freckles over his nose. He was wearing tan shorts and a white Hollister t-shirt.
"Oh. Yeah Isaac and I can show you where it is." He winked at his friend, who I'm guessing is Isaac, and he rolled his eyes.
Issac was definitely more my type. He had dark brown wavy hair that was slightly tousled and fell just before his eyes, like the other boy's. He was taller than me also and his eyes were a bright, almost electric, shade of green. They were the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen. He was fit, like the other boy, and wearing dark wash jeans and a white polo.
I followed the two boys around a bunch of corners and to finally what looked like the baggage claim.
"Which one is yours?" The boy asked me.
"Oh, um," I looked around for my three huge suitcases. "Those dark burgundy ones."
"All three?" He laughed
"Yes."
"Wow." Him and Isaac grabbed my suitcases and set them down for me.
"So are you alone here?" Isaac asked
"Yeah, I'm supposed to be looking for someone though who is picking me up."
"Are you a tourist?" The first boy asked
"No, I'm moving here actually."
"All by yourself? You look no older than us, and we're only 16." He said
"I'm moving in with a, uh- family friend. What about you two?"
"Oh we're supposed to be picking someone up who's moving in with us. She was on the same flight as you I think."
"Oh really? What's her name?"
"Abby Taylor." I choked on the water I was drinking and laughed. "What?" He looked at me confusedly as well as Isaac.
"Oh um, I meant wh-what does she look like? I might've seen her." I couldn't help the smile on my face.
"Well that's the thing, um, we don't know."
"Idiot Alex over here forgot to ask his dad that." Isaac said, rolling his eyes again. He was smiling this time though, and I couldn't help the beating in my chest.
"Well then how are you supposed to find her? Stand on a chair and yell her name?"
"That's a good idea Alex, stand on a chair and yell out her name." Isaac said laughing
"Alright." He shrugged his shoulders and climbed up onto the nearest chair.
"ABBY TAYLOR? ABBY TAYLOR, YOUR RIDE IS WAITING. ABBY TAYLOR?" Everyone around us turned to look at Alex and gave him some really weird looks.
Isaac and I laughed so hard tears came into my eyes as Alex came down off the chair.
"I guess she's not around here." He smirked at us, "Hey, I never got your name."
"Oh um, uh well you see."
"That's a pretty weird name." Alex laughed
"Well," I stuck out my hand and said, "Abigail Taylor, nice to meet you."
Alex stared at me for a couple of seconds with his mouth wide open. He shook my hand gently as he stammered, "You- you're Abby Taylor?!"
"In the flesh." He looked me up and down and Isaac busted out laughing.
"Dude, she got us. She got us good, and made you look like an idiot bloke." He kept on laughing and Alex glared at him before laughing as well.
"Yeah I guess she did." He smiled, and held out his hand to me, which I shook. "Well Abby Taylor, my name is Alexander Meyers and I believe Isaac and I are your ride."
~°~°~°~°~°~
"Do you want anything to eat?"
"Definitely."
"Does McDonald's sound alright, I know Americans eat that."
I laughed "Yeah us Americans do eat that."
"So how long was the flight?" Alex turned around in the passenger seat to look at me.
"About 11 hours."
"When did you leave?"
"About 3 a.m."
"Wow and the time difference is..." He stopped to think
"London is 5 hours ahead." I finished for him. I looked out the window and saw that the sun was already starting to set, it was about 7 o'clock here.
"Wow so that's 16 hours. You must be tired."
"I slept for most of the flight actually, so not that much."
"Where are you from?" Isaac asked looking in the rearview mirror
"Greenville, North Carolina." Alex whistled and Isaac laughed
"Is it nice there?"
"Yeah it's really nice."
"That's awesome." He pulled into the drive through at McDonalds. "What do you want?"
"A ten piece chicken nugget, small fries, and a large sweet tea."
He looked shocked, "Really?"
"What?"
"We're at McDonalds and you order chicken nuggets?"
"I don't eat burgers."
"Oh." He looked at me once more before ordering for himself, Alex, and I.
"So are you excited?" Alex asked me
"For what?"
"Living in England."
"More nervous actually."
"Oh don't be nervous. I'll keep you safe from my siblings." He laughed and Isaac said,
"Oh I don't think she'll last a week."
"Oh c'mon, they're not that bad."
"Once you get to know them no, but I'm a guy and she's a girl."
"What does that have to do with it?" I demanded
"You don't know?"
"I don't know what?"
"Oh you're in for a treat then." He smirked at Alex before paying for our order and handing our stuff out.
Soooooo sorry for the late update, I just forgot about not and had no motivation. I'll still update this Monday though.
But what do you guys think so far? The story is ready to start picking up.
