We all slept in our regular rooms that night. I hadn’t seen Justin or Janna all day. I didn’t see Kevin until later at night, when we were going to sleep. I hadn’t gone on any tours, just wandered the city, feeling lost. I told Mrs. Adams that I had a stomach bug, and since nobody else skipped, I guess she believed me.

The next morning, it was still raining, but our flight left on time. On the back of the shuttle from the subway to the airport terminal, I heard Justin saying, “But how can they fly in the rain?”

And a collective groan rose from over half the bus.

I smiled to myself.

Delaney was in the front row, sitting next to this girl, Tess, from her classes. After we got to the airport, as we were all going through security, I pulled Tess back by the elbow.

She scrunched her face and looked around. Yeah, we probably had never had a conversation before. “Are you sitting with Delaney?” I asked.

“Uh, yeah,” she said, throwing her shoes onto the conveyer belt. “Unless you were planning on it?”

“She hates to fly,” I said, ignoring her question.

“I noticed,” she said.

“So this time how about you try to distract her or something.” Then I threw my bag in front of hers and jumped her place in line.

I walked past Justin’s row on the plane and said, “Hey.” He had a cut on his bottom lip, but it didn’t look too bad.

“Hey,” he said. I slid into the row behind him. Conversation over.

Janna had a ball cap on and her hair flew wildly out of the bottom in every direction. I saw Justin grin at her, saw her eyes go wide, watched as she passed his row and slid in beside me instead.

I must’ve been smiling at her because she snapped, “What?”

“Nothing,” I said.

She pulled the brim of her hat lower and slouched in her seat. “Shut up,” she said.

Kevin slid into the seat beside Justin, but not before turning around and resting his chin on the back of his chair with a huge smile. “Hiiiii, Janna,” he said. Justin punched him in the arm, and he turned back around.

“Don’t get me wrong,” I said. “I think he’s a great guy, and I hear he’s totally—”

“Shut. Up,” she said. But it was too late. Kevin and I couldn’t stop laughing, even though Justin smacked him over the head in the seat in front of us.

“You know what I heard,” Kevin said. And that set us off again.
