Throughout my life I have always loved airplanes. Since I was 2 years old, I had been on a plane an average of two times a year. Since I was 15 at the time, that means that I had been on a plane close to 30 in my life. Out of those 30 times I had flown on my own 5 times. So one sixth of my flights have been alone. For a 15 year old kid riding by

We arrived at the JFK airport in New York at 6:00 pm. All of the boys except for Jimmy had left to catch their flights back to the west coast. 4 of the girls had gone with the other boys because they lived on the west coast as well. It was Jimmy and I; along with 7 other girls. We had been escorted to our terminal by an adult chaperone, but she soon left thereafter. We had a flight to catch at 6:45 so we didn’t have much time to do much of anything. At 6:30 our flight got delayed an hour due to a storm that was coming in.

The fact that we stayed together when everyone else left us made it possible for us to get home. Even if it took us 10 hours to do.

To our dismay, the girls woke up and we had to break the news to them. As we anticipated the girls were hysterical. After one more time of informing the parents we decided the best way to stay calm was to do something about this problem. So Jimmy and I searched the area for anyone who had a clue of what was happening. We searched for 2 hours, and by that time it was a little before 3 in the morning. We hadn’t heard any cancellations or delays so we figured that the flight was underway. In high spirits we walked back to our terminal only to find no one. This is when the panic set in for both of us. We thought the plane had left without us. We weren’t too far off with our assumption. The plane had boarded all its members and was ready to take off.
