A Royal Pain

(5) "Stick Around"

AUTHOR'S NOTE

YES, IT'S FINALLY HERE! Sorry, I'm just excited for this chapter. It normally takes me about two-three days to write a chapter, but the last one took me almost two weeks because I was so bored with the plot of that one. But I'm actually excited for this one :3 Also, YAY IT'S SUMMER YEAAAAAAH!!! I'm so happy, my life's about to get so much better, I can feel it. Now I'll have more time to write :) Last but not least, I went back and re-did the texting parts on the previous chapters. I didn't realize how screwed up it looked until I saw it on the mobile app. So I went back and re-did those ones. But anyways, enjoy this chapter :D

"This is actually really good garlic bread," Romana said as she took a bite of it.

"Garlic bread is my favorite food," Scott announced as he shoved more pieces down his throat. "I could honestly eat it for every meal. Or just all the time without even stopping."

"You'd get fat," Ramona smiled.

"No. Why would I get fat?" Scott smiled back.

"Bread makes you fat," Ramona informed him.

"BREAD MAKES YOU FAT?!" Scott asked as a piece was about to fall out of his mouth.

I laughed. Geez, I love this movie so much. I haven't seen it yet, and I'm finally watching it first-class on the airplane. I kept my promise to Kalel, even six months later. It's been half a year since I've met her and I've wanted to see her in person for a long time. Now I finally had enough courage to hop on a plane to North Dakota. Although Ashe wanted me to do otherwise. She's been super touchy-feely with me lately and I'm not too sure why, but it's making me uncomfortable. I had to get both Saskia AND George to pull me away from her as I was leaving LAX.

"Uh, sir, are you alright?" the flight attendant asked me.

"Oh, yeah," I snapped from my staring into space. "Sorry, I was just thinking."

"That's fine," she smiled. "We just landed in North Dakota."

"Great, thanks," I smiled as she walked away.

I grabbed my phone off of the seat tray and took my backpack out of the luggage compartment then walked off the plane. Once I got inside the airport, I looked around. It was certainly a lot smaller than the Los Angeles airport, but it was still nice. I had to go from LA to the Minneapolis airport, since the Bismarck one didn't have any California flights. I have to say, this one looks a lot cleaner than St. Paul's. I looked up to the ceiling and saw it painted blue with white clouds and two Pterodactyl skeletons hanging from the ceiling. I smiled. If this is my first impression of the Peace Garden State, I have a feeling I'll like it here.

I walked out of the gate and to the baggage claim. Once I got my stuff, I walked over to the area where you get some food and I got a Caesar salad and a bag of Doritos. I sat down on the plush couch and pulled out my iPhone. I looked up some taxi services in the area and after I scheduled one to come over, I started eating. I haven't eaten for like four hours; I'm starving. I watched the news on the TV as I munched on the lettuce and chicken.

I messed up, but won't stop now. We will become the greats of the worst mistakes. Won't fail to let you down, we've got plenty of time to figure it out. We're just kids.

My phone rang beside me and I looked at the caller ID. Why was Taylor calling me? "What Taylor?" I asked, accepting his call.

"WHERE ARE YOU?!" I heard both his and Roman's voice on the other end, yelling. It was so loud that I had to move the phone away from my ear for a moment.
