My flight leaves in two hours time and my father is so angry with me. He had already made plans for me to join oxford university, a very prestigious university. it's technically my birth right but I had already applied for NYU and got in. My friend and I had already made plans to go and start our lives in New York , the city of dreams. My friend left for New York three days ago, I stayed behind since I had to deal with my father first.
"You knew very well I wouldn't allow you to go study in any other university other than Oxford, but you went ahead and applied for NYU " My father yelled at me.
"Let him follow his heart and fulfill his dreams." My mother tries to defend me.
"No! I won't allow this, you spoil him so much, no wonder he doesn't listen to me anymore" my father replies.
"Father, I know you want the best for me, but I want to explore, live my life , fulfill my dreams and achieve my goals. My heart is in New York, I fell in love with the city and I know I'm going to make it in New York , you'll just have to trust me. I'm sorry father but I am going to study New York whether you like it or not" I explained.
I know my mother wants me to stay too but she loves me so much that she puts my happiness first.
"Jared listen to your son, I know you want the best for him too, let him figure out things on his own, he's a grown man." My mother tries convincing my father.
My father sighs, he's left with no other choice but to agree and let me go to New York. I know he's entirely not happy about this. I hug both of them for allowing me to go to New York.
The butler loads my luggage to the cars, and I hug my mother and she kisses my forehead for the last time before getting in the car. I arrive at the airport and I still have sometime before the flight takes off.
I decided to go to the restaurant to get a quick meal since I forgot to eat because of all the drama. when I was fully satisfied I bought coffee and went to the waiting section to drink my coffee as I wait to board the plane.
I was so focused on my phone, when I bumped into someone and spilled coffee all over me.
"Watch, where you are going you uncultured swine" I yelled
"whatever douchebag" she waved and left.
Now my clothes were ruined. I had to go to the washroom and change my clothes.
The plane was about to take off, but lucky I had managed to clean myself up in time and board the plane.
I always go for the VIP section but today I had decided to go for the commercial section. I wanted to experience a normal lifestyle for once, no fancy life. I remember my father being completely against it. I walked to my seat only to find the girl who had early spilt my coffee sitting on my seat reading a novel.
"Excuse me miss, you're are in my seat" I said calmly.
" I know, just sit on my seat, it's no big deal. I like sitting by the window and I'm sure you don't mind" she replies.
The audacity of this lady, who does she think she is? I didn't want to cause any trouble so I just sat where I presumed was her seat. She smiles at me and continues reading her book.
This day wasn't going well for me. First arguing with my father, ruining my clothes with coffee and now this?!! could this get any worse.
Once the plane took off, I decided to sleep it's was going to be a long flight, and I needed the sleep. I barely had time to sleep or relax with all the drama I had been going through, this was my chance. I had just closed my eyes when suddenly I heard some uncomfortable sounds. I open my eyes only to find this annoying girl eating crisp so loud. I even wonder how she managed to do that. I think she was doing it on purpose maybe to piss me off, I don't know. I have been so kind to her, I even let her sit on my seat for God's sake and now she was disturbing my peace.
"What is your problem?! can't you chew like a normal human being?, or were you raised by monkeys?!" I whisper yelled at her and she just stares at me and continues chewing.
"look here mister fancy pants, No one talks to me like that! ok. I can eat however I want to eat, it's none of your business." she replies.
At this point I just want to strangle her. she is getting on my nerves but I have to play it cool and act as if her words had no effect on me.
"Fine, I can't teach you to be civilized, I guess you're just primitive and I can't blame you" I smirk and lay back on my seat.
I can feel she wants to say something, but I guess she didn't have a good come back and decided to just keep quiet. I was glad when she stopped chewing loudly . I closed my eyes and dozed off. I don't know how long I slept but when I woke up I found her going through my things

I'm finally going to New York, to live my life and focus on myself and my studies. I never want to come back to England , i just want to forget that this place ever existed.
I still have time before the flight leaves , I'll just go to the restaurant get some snacks and return back to board the plane.
I was so busy searching for my purse when I suddenly bumped into someone.
I was about to apologize when this man suddenly shouts and insults me.
He caught me off guard, plus I have so many things running in my mind that I have barely the time for him. I just wave him off and leave.
I get to the restaurant and buy some snacks. I know it's going to be a very long flight so I need more food to distract myself since I wasn't the kind of person to sleep on the plane.
I went and board my plane, my seat wasn't by the window, but I had decided that I would talk to whoever was going to sit by the window and switch seats with them .I was glad to find no one was sitting there.
I took out my book and start reading. I was so socked in my book that I didn't realize that the owner of the seat had arrived.
Unbelievable! This guy again. It's clear he doesn't like me and I'm very sure he wouldn't let me sit on his seat even if I ask him so nicely. luckily he lets me sit on his seat.
I guess he is angry at me for spilling coffee at him. He sits down and lays back on the seat not speaking a word.
Maybe I should apologize, but he insulted me , he was so harsh to me and he is arrogant. I decide to take out my snacks at start eating.
Suddenly he shouts at me and calls me names. How on earth am I suppose to chew these crisps silently.
I have heard enough of him, who does he think he is?!. Asking me if I was raised by monkeys. What does that even mean, that I'm not civilized?.
"look here mister fancy pants, No one talks to me like that! ok. I can eat however I want to eat, it's none of your business." i reply.
I'm very sure I struck a nerve but he plays it cool and then calls me uncivilized.
I'm so angry right now that I don't even know what to say to him.
I decided to keep quiet and keep away my crisps.
He lays back on his seat and I guess he fell asleep.
I was still pissed at him and I could barely concentrate on my book.
I decide to take out my phone to play some games. Later on I go bored and decided to listen to some music .
I went through my stuffs in my backpack but I couldn't find my earphones.
Maybe I forgot to carry them with me.
Now what was I going to do. Obviously I can't play my music out loud.
Perhaps I can wake Mr. fancy pants over here and ask him for his earphones. But after thinking about it, it wasn't a good idea. we weren't in good terms and I don't think he will be so generous to let me use his earphones.
He is asleep maybe I can just take his earphones and then return them back before he wakes up.
I was so busy searching through his things when he suddenly spoke.
"what the hell are you doing?!" he asked.
"um,...uh.., um... nothing" I state calmly.
he stares at me, and that's when I realized my hands were still in his backpack.
"Ok, before you even overreact , it's not what you think. I was just going to borrow your earphones and then return them back." I said.
"why didn't you wake me up before going through my stuff?!" he asks.
I fake a laugh and smile" you know, I didn't want to disturb your beauty sleep"
I don't know what happened but he started laughing, and I just stared at him. Was this guy ok?!.
Eager to see other chapters π€€
