“TRISTAN”, exclaims mom! “Are you packed, our plane leaves in 30 minutes! “Coming I called”. Gosh, mom can be demanding at times. I mean, I’m only 12, and she expects me to be packed, showered, and decent looking, for a trip that I don’t even want to go to. I understand we have to be ready for the plane, but seriously, she could have scheduled a later one. Mom stomps into my room, “ Tristan we have to go!” Okay, okay, I’m ready, I scream! Well, we finally got in the car, A little late which worried mom. Oh, and if you’re wondering why dad’s not coming is because my parents got divorced a year ago. Yes, it was a little hard on me, but I understand it was the best for them.” Mom, calm down we are only 10 minutes behind schedule”. We finally arrived to the airport, and mom was freaking out, STILL! I told her I would meet her on the plane while, she checked the luggage. The plane was farther than I thought, and seeing all those food stands made me hungry. “ Oh well,” I sighed. I finally, got to the plane and found two empty seats. I waited for about 10 minutes, until the pilot said everyone buckle your seat belts. “OH NO,” I thought. “ MOM, she is not here yet”! I screamed, “ NO, don’t leave my mom is …” It was too late the plane had taken off.
I sat in agony, thinking of all the things that could happen to me on a vacation alone, then I found there were some plus side, but too many negative sides to balance them out. All of a sudden we heard a loud BOOM…..” The pilot, and co pilot were on the ground with blood over their bodies. “Whoa” I said, “What happened”! I found out that the engine had given up, and the loud boom, was because we had landed, but not at our destination,in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. I started crying because I just couldn’t take it anymore, I said to myself,” Don’t worry Tristan you will be fine, You will get on the next plane back home, and everything will be Fine. Wow fine was a word I haven’t heard in a while. The sound of fine made me feel good. Good, There’s another word that was soothing, Maybe this trip isn’t going to be so bad after all.
I got inside the airport, and went to see the flight schedule with my fingers crossed that there was a plane back to New Jersey ( Where I lived). I saw the word new Jersey. “YES!” I screamed. I kept reading to the right…. “ NO!” I screamed. “only plane back home is tomorrow at 3”. What am I going to do, I thought to myself.
I had no clue, what to do next, but I knew whatever I was going to do it had to be fast. I decided I would go to the front desk, and maybe they could help me. I got their, and the lady says in a very angered voice,” Hey kid, where are your parents”! I whimper back knowing that i would have to lie,” Over there”, Somewhere I said to myself. “Whatever little kid, what do you want, a coloring book, here you go. Take it and go color”. Well, I whispered to myself she was a no help. So far, this had been a miserable day, and it just kept getting worse. I decided I would wait on the seats until someone offered me something, or maybe I would fall asleep,and wake up tomorrow, and start fresh. Thats exactly what I did.
I woke up to a surprising, but familiar noise,“Tristan,Tristan,Tristan”! What, I said to myself, I realized that mom was calling me and for once felt the biggest excitement of my life to hear her voice. I had been dreaming.
