Chapter 5
...is anyone even reading? please
let me know.. i don't want to waste my time :|
We all got off the
plane, when my mother, Jen, came running off the plane,
happy she survived. She was always afraid of flying, and as
the years went on, she just got worse and worse. Now that
the plane ride was over, she felt like she could finally
enjoy herself.
“Loug, who was that cutie sitting next to you on the plane?” My mother asked me.
“Ma, I’m actually surprised that you noticed where I was sitting. Don’t you have to concentrate on the flight?” I giggled. Since my mom was afraid of flying, she always felt like she had to “focus” on the plane, and by doing that, it wouldn’t crash. Yeah, don’t ask me why...
“But I honestly
didn’t even catch his name..” I realized that
I regretted not talking to green eyes more than I did,
but I guess you can’t change the past, right?
We all began to get
our luggages, and we hopped into a van to take us to
the hotel for the night. Since the boat left the
following day at 2, we decided to just fly in the night
before, just in case. That way even if our flight was
delayed, there was no way of missing the
boat.
In the van, I sat
by Joseph, and began talking about all the exciting
features on this new boat. Over the course of the
past year, Joseph has really inspired me to become a
better person. He’s shown me that anything is
possible, and what doesn’t kill you only makes
you stronger. You must never give up, and always put
110% into everything you do. I loved hanging out with
him, because his optimistic mood was contagious, and
just being around him made me happy. Knowing that he
survived brain cancer shows me that I could pretty
much do anything I set my mind to.
Joseph and I spoke about how we hoped to make friends on this humongous boat, and how we planned on going to the teen clubs a few times, just to see what kind of people were going to be on the same boat as us. I heard about this cool feature, where you can go onto the computer, and speak to different people on the boat to meet new people. We agreed that we planned on doing that.
Just in time for
our conversation to end, the van
pulled up to the front of the Marriot
hotel. It was a gorgeous hotel from the outside,
but it’s too bad that i was too tired to
actually care about the scenery. By the time we
checked in, and brought all the luggage up to our
rooms, it was 2 am! Everyone was beat from the
plane ride, so we all went our separate ways for
bed.
I kept tossing and turning for what seemed like hours. I couldn’t stop thinking about my future, and the thought crossed my mind of ‘what happens if I stay single for the rest of my life?’ It was a scary thought. But I guess I couldn’t be bothered with something like that now. The excitement of the boat was also getting to me. I couldn’t wait to see what the newest Carnival cruise ship looked like up close!
