I'm sick of sitting around so I go and wander around the airport. I get to certain part of the airport and it's like a mall!! I take my time as I walk in and out of stores marveling at the expensive things. Two hours later I'm sitting in a massage chair, except it's not running. I look up and see a window, it seems to be raining out. The area I'm in is rather quiet and I fall asleep to the sound of the rain pattering against the window above me. "Ma'am, hello?" Someone pokes my cheek. I quickly open my eyes and see a skinny man with blonde hair and green eyes  peering at me. "Uh yeah?" I ask him. He smiles. "Sorry to bother you, I saw you sitting here and was wondering if you wanted some company."  Really?! I was sleeping and this idiot wakes me up to ask if I want company? Ugh. "No thanks, I'm gonna go now. Bye." I hurriedly say and get up. He pushes me to the floor and takes my seat, smiling at me. I stand up furious. "REALLY?! YOU HAD TO MAKE UP SOME SHITTY STORY JUST TO TAKE MY SEAT WHEN THERE'S LIKE TEN OTHER EMPTY ONES?! WHAT AN ASS!" Without thinking I slap him hard across the face and storm away, leaving him shocked and upset. I make it back to my gate and nobody's there. I check my phone and see it's midnight, shaking my head I curl up in a chair and fall asleep. "Now boarding flight 6234. Can we have members of the military and the disabled board now please." I open my eyes and see sun coming through the windows. Pulling out my ticket I see that this is also my flight. Ten minutes later I'm on the plane and ready to go. As the plane is taking off my stomach makes a loud rumbling sound. I hadn't realized how hungry I was until now. The elderly woman next to me starts talking to me. "Hungry dear?" Embarrassed I nod my head and look down in my lap. A few seconds later the woman puts six granola bars, a bottle of water, a bag of pretzels, and three sticks of gum in my lap. Shocked I look at the woman and try to give it back to her but she outright refuses. "Don't worry about it dear, I'm a diabetic so I always carry a lot of food around. I have a whole bag full." She pats my hand and and tells me to stop thanking her when I say thank you twice and begin to eat. Throughout the flight I find out the woman's name is Mildred and she is 72. We chat a lot and before I know it we land. Before we get off the plane Mildred gives me more food and quickly tells me not to say thank you so I just tuck it away and smile. Once off the plane I realize I dont have a ride. So I pull out my phone and call my uncle Rob, he answers quickly. "Hello?" He asks "Hey uncle Rob its Jade, I'm at the airport and need a ride back to your house." He makes a noise then quickly says. "I'll be there soon." The line goes dead and I head outside to wait.
