The Plane Ride There

Janine POV
Class was over as my kids were walking out my classroom waving me goodbye. Gregory came inside my class asking how my day was
Gregory: Hey Janine
Janine: Hey
Gregory: How was your day?
Janine: It was pretty good, what about you?
Gregory: It was good too
Janine: That's good
Gregory: Yeah, yup.
Janine & Gregory are awkward between each other until Barbara came in
Barbara: Hey Janine-
Barbara was surprised to see Gregory up inside her room
Barbara: Hey, Gregory
Janine & Gregory: Hey
Barbara: Just wanted to see if you were still coming shopping with me & Melissa, Janine?
Janine: Oh yes, yes, of course I am, let me get my stuff & I'll be out there following behind you in my car
Barbara: Alright don't take to long, please. Bye Gregory, see you tomorrow.
Gregory: Bye, Barbara
Janine: You have anything else to say to me Gregory?
Gregory: No, just checking how your day was
Janine: Cool, cool, I'll see you tomorrow Gregory
Gregory: See you tomorrow, Janine
Janine waved bye to Gregory as he waved back
Gregory POV
Are me & Janine fine?
It took a minute for Gregory to answer the question
Gregory POV
It's complicated.
On the other side of the world, the girls we're waiting for the boys to arrive before they be late for the plane ride
Olivia: Where are the boys at?
Layla: It's already 1:15, & the airport is 30 minutes away from here
Patience: Y'all give them time, they will be here, let's be patience
Coop: Right, your supposed to say that because your name is Patience.
Patience: I mean what else am I am supposed to say?
Coop: Mhmm
The boys came inside as soon the girls were relieved
Olivia: OH THANK GOODNESS
Layla: WE GOTTA GO NOW
Jordan: Ok, yeah but wait hold on for a minute we have another person coming along with us.
Patience: I don't care who it is I am ready to go like now
Coop: Look, who is the one being impatient
Patience: Shut up
Patience rolls her eyes at Coop
Everyone rolls their luggage outside seeing JJ
JJ: Yall they have a soda machine up in this limousine, this is so cool oh my goodness.
JJ gets back up inside the car
Olivia: So, JJ coming with us, huh?
Jordan: Yes
Layla: Jordan you owe me, BIG TIME!!!
Jordan: As long I'm not doing nothing stupid
Layla: Oh Shut up
Coop locks up the door as they all get up in the limousine arriving on time to the plane before it takes off. Everyone was settling in pretty nicely.
Olivia: Hey
Spencer: Hey
Olivia: How was football practice today?
Spencer: Good, I'm glad I got a nice workout before leaving town
Olivia: I know you are
Spencer: Are you excited to teach a bunch of 2nd graders about journalism?
Olivia: Yeah, the teacher sounds nice from her description
Spencer: Same with the dude I have he seems like an interesting guy. Who won a teacher of the year award.
Olivia: They have awards for teachers?
Spencer: Apparently they do, which I'm glad they are receiving awards & recognition. Teachers work hard everyday for the work they do, plus all them students. How do they do it?
Olivia: There are some good teachers who love teaching & learning about their children up in school. Even the entire school so they understand what everyone up in the room is supposed to do. Teachers deserve everything & we need to see them more often not just once a week or once a month every year.
Spencer: True dat,
Olivia: I believe the school we are going to is special place & experience we are about to experience tomorrow at 1pm. Well 12pm because we have to set up in each classroom.
Spencer: I am going straight to the room once we get off this airplane, I am so tired. I might go to sleep on you, liv.
Olivia: If you do, I'll draw a mustache on you
Spencer: You wouldn't?
Olivia: I would
Olivia pulls out a black sharpie out of her bag as she smiles at Spencer. He laughs saying...
Spencer: I'll be sleeping with one eye open then.
They both laughed
Coop: Sorry, I was annoying you earlier I am just stressed
Patience: Why? We are on vacation?
Coop: I don't know school is kicking my ass right now.
Patience: Let's not worry about school & focus on the now, coop
Coop: I know but on top of that I am talking to 6th-7th graders about being an lawyer too. I don't know I feel like I might give the wrong information to the kids & fail.
Patience: Well you are going into a place, where you don't have to do school or experience stressful work you have to be putting in by the end of the week because it's due. Yes you are talking about your work but girl, calm your mind with some grounding music I am listening to right now.
Coop: Thanks Patience.
Patience: Your welcome
They both lay back listening to some calming music.
Jamie: I miss you already
Asher: Same here
Jamie: I'll call you later because me & sister are about to leave for dinner right now.
Asher: Alright talk to you tonight, Jamie.
Jamie: Talk to you tonight.
Asher hangs up the phone as JJ sits down next to him.
JJ: Hey, who was that on the phone?
Asher: Jamie
JJ: Oh, why didn't she come on here?
Asher: She's pregnant that's why.
JJ: Oh I forgot pregnant people can't go on the airplanes
Asher: Yup
JJ: Well, your going to be with me & the gang this week so we're going to be good, Ash. I know you're miss your boo, but let's sit back & have some water.
Asher takes the cup JJ has & try putting his mind to rest.
Layla: You ok?
Jordan: I am, I'm just a little bit tired
Layla: I know same here, I been constantly doing zoom meetings & at the studio this whole entire morning. I'm glad I get to sit & do nothing for the past few hours.
Jordan: Nothing, what about me?
Layla: You have to keep me from boredom then.
They started kissing each other
Coop: GET A ROOM
Everyone laughed as the flight instructor came out saying the plane was ready to take off. As they all were on the way towards Philadelphia, ready to see a whole new world. Up In Philadelphia Janine & Barbara we're waiting on Melissa changing up into an outfit until she came out to show them how she looks up in the dress.
Melissa: What you guys think?
Barbara: That looks hot on you Melissa, anything looks good on you.
Melissa: Janine?
Janine: You look amazing Melissa
Melissa: Thank you guys, I'm going to get it since you both love it so much.
Barbara: You should
Janine: Yeah you should
Melissa: I will, but let me change real quick so we all could go home.
Barbara: Alright take your time honey
Melissa: Alright Bar
Barbara looked at Janine with sad eyes like she was about to cry, she asked what was wrong with her.
Barbara: You ok, Janine?
Janine: No
Barbara: Is this about Gregory?
Janine: How did you know?
Barbara: I know, do you want to talk about it?
Janine: There nothing to say, but it's complicated.
Barbara: That's what love is, it's always complicated but eventually love put people back together when it's meant to be.
Janine: I know
Melissa: You guys ready to go? I'm done putting my clothes back on.
Janine: Yeah I'm ready Melissa
Janine walks to the line with a sad face as Melissa sees
Melissa: What's wrong with Janine?
Barbara: Gregory
Melissa: What happened between them?
Barbara: I don't know but all I know it's complicated between them.
Melissa: I understand that phrase loud & clear
Barbara: Don't we all Melissa.
They both walk arm to arm as getting up in the line with Janine. After a few hours passed the crew made it to Philadelphia.
Olivia: Oh my goodness this is beautiful
Layla: This is amazing.
JJ: It looks outstanding
Coop: This is dope
Patience: More then dope it's worth living in for the who entire week.
Spencer: This is what it means to follow your dreams.
Jordan: We all get to experience this moment together too
They all looking at the lights outside the window as they were all amazed by Philadelphia already. As they pulled up to the hotel & Olivia signs them in. As they only had three rooms but they didn't mind all sharing rooms.
Olivia: So, Patience & Layla we are going to share a room, Spencer & Jordan here are your room cards. Pick your room to share with JJ, Coop & Asher.
Patience: Bye see y'all in the morning
Layla: Goodbye babe
Layla kisses Jordan
Jordan: Goodnight babe
Layla: Goodnight everyone
The boys said good night to the girls as Jordan asks Asher & JJ to stay with him.
Jordan: I'll share a room with the two of you, let's go. Good night Spencer & Coop
JJ: Alright good night Spencer & Coop.
Asher: See you Coop & Spencer, sleep tight y'all
Spencer & Coop: Good night y'all
Coop: I guess it's me & you big head
Spencer: Your the one with the big head
Coop: Let's see about that
Coop starts laughing as Spencer smiles at her.
