In An Aeroplane Over The Sea
“Anyone in group 2, please prepare to board. Anyone in group 2, please prepare to board.” The intercom buzzed, and I took out my ticket.
“That’s you,” Jack said, peering over my shoulder at my ticket.
“Yeah,” I responded, beginning to gather up my things. Jack pouted and grabbed my bag, hugging it tightly to his chest. “C’mon, Jack. We’re on the same plane.” He pouted some more. “I’ll come and sit with you for a bit, I promise.” I added, and he sighed before handing over my bag.
I got on the line to have my boarding pass checked, occasionally glancing back at the boys. Alex waved at me a couple of times, and Zack smiled, but Jack looked terribly sad. I chuckled to myself as I handed the woman my ticket to be scanned.
It wasn’t like he was never going to see me again.
