As the plane soared through the blue sky, I was filled with nervous chills. Is that even a thing? I feel a tap on my shoulder then something heavy lay on it. I look to my right to see Teal's head lying on my shoulder.

"Don't be nervous! We've been on planes a bajillion times," she reassures me in the sweetest tone. "What she's trying to say is that you have no reason to be scared, you chicken," Ivy speaks up. Teal looks to her right at Ivy and smacks her shoulder. "The entirely opposite of what I was trying to say," she scolds. She turns her attention back to me.

"Ignore her. She's a bit grumpy when she hasn't touched food," she whispers. "I heard that," ivy uttered.

"no you didn't!"

"don't gaslight me!"

"shhh, don't get us kicked out of the plane," i scolded at the two. "They can't. It's not like they'll give us parachutes then push us out," ivy sarcastically remarks.

Teal lets out a sigh. Not the bad kind... like the one where you fall in love. The slow sigh. "Can you believe we're going to the Bahamas. I've been dreaming of this for ages!"

"Honestly, yeah i can. We were bound to go there one year," ivy stifles a laugh. "don't ruin the moment," i shake my head at ivy, "but she's right. You put it on the white board every year."

"can you blame me? I want to see the crystal clear waters, white sandy beaches, it's going to be paradise," she fawns over.

"i heard they had really good seafood," a voice appears from behind our seats. We look up, startled by the voice. It was Brodie. His head was peering above us.

"sit down, brodie! You're gonna get in trouble," i whisper loudly. "oh please, i'm not going to get in trouble," he does the little 'pft' sound at the end.

I peak through the little seat gap to see Finny reading a book and walker sleeping with his mouth open slightly. Hudson was sitting in the middle aisle seats next to an old lady. He was intently watching something on his screen.

As the flight attendant passed by, she asked what drinks or light snacks would we like. "Could I have pepsi," I ask. She nodded as she poured some pepsi into those small, clear plastic cups. Teal asked for some apple juice, and Ivy had asked for root beer.

She goes to the row behind us, which was the boys' aisle. "Sir, please take a seat and then i'll get you your drink and snack," i hear the flight attendant tell Brodie. Ivy was snickering. You could hear a loud plop on a chair after that.

I avert my attention on the small screen in front of me. Maybe, I should watch a movie. I start clicking random screen buttons to get to the movie menu. I eventually found my way.

Mean girls?

Cinderella?

Clueless? ooohh clueless.

west side story?

wonka?

Or i could listen to airplane spotify.

"wow... that was such an inspirational movie," i praise.

"shrek is inspirational?"

"i do my thing.. you do your thing," i calmly tell teal.

We had an hour left of the plane trip. I need to pee. I unbuckle the belt and try to maneuver my way out of the seats. I had the window seat.

Once I get out, I start walking towards the back of the plane to the restrooms. When I got there it's already being occupied, so I had to wait.

After a couple seconds I hear the faucet running. That means they're about to leave. The door opens and it was walker. He looks up and smiles at me, "oh hey, addie beth."

"hey walker," i smile back as I walk past him into the restroom.

I quickly use the restroom and return to my seat. I should've taken the opportunity to get a snack when I had the chance. I'm starving. We better go to some good restaurant after this.

I try to sleep for the remaining period. A light nap. However, Teal was so excited she kept rambling about something. With each passing mile, she was counting down how far we were until we get there.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting hues of orange and pink across the sky, the seven of us had arrived at Lynden Pindling International Airport. Eagerness filled the air as we stepped out the plane door to the pathway to the airport.

"The weather already feels nice," walker commented as he held a firm grip on the straps of his backpack. "Agreed, Pennsylvania can be so chilly," Ivy says.

"We have to go to the luggage claim area," finny reminded all of us. We all started following the arrows and group of people to the baggage claim.

The boys were engrossed in their own conversations about what they were going to do first after we get settled. "I want to hit the beach and snorkel," hudson exclaims. "okay, but i think we should you know... eat dinner. It's 7 pm," i chimed in.

After we collected our luggage, we made our way outside to find a taxi. "Can we even trust taxis," ivy crosses her arms. "well, we seem to have trust them for the past four years so..." brodie thinned out his lips, averting his eyes around his surroundings.

Finally, a bright yellw cab pulled up, and all of us piled in. We had to squeeze a bit, but it's all good. I sat between hudson and ivy.

The driver greeted all of us with a warm smile and asked, "Where to, folks?"

"To the Grand Palm Resort, please," replied finny, speaking for the group. He was sitting up in front.

As they drove through the streets of Nassau, we admired the scene outside the car window. The palm trees swaying in the breeze and the colorful buildings were.. popping with colors.

Soon enough we arrive at the Grand Palm Resort, a luxurious oasis nestled along the pristine beaches of Paradise Island.

A bunch of thank you's were given as we stepped out the cab. He helped us with our luggages and wished us luck. He got back into his driver seat and rode off.

"Did we pay," hudson asked, worried. "Yes, we did," finny sighs. "Oh, thank God. I thought we just got a free ride," hudson let out a breath.

"now we just have to check in and see where we would be heading out for tomorrow," walker says.

"hello? eating," i reminded them all. It's like i'm speaking for my own health. We literally haven't eaten all day. Maybe a schedule will get their heads in check. Maybe Ivy needs to hit them harder.
