This summer I traveled without my parents for the first time. I remember my parents dropping Josh and I off at the airport then suddenly I started feeling nervous for no reason. I felt my stomach drop as I thought of the thousands of things that could go wrong, thoughts of 9/11 and terrorist attacks or thoughts of the Malaysian plane that disappeared and was never found.

He was talking to an about twenty year old blonde, very attractive emo type girl and I couldn’t believe this old man was so cool. I kept thinking about Michael Douglas who plays Matthew Mcconaughey’s stud uncle and mentors Matthew in the art of being smooth in Ghost of Girlfriend’s Past. After deciding I needed to stop creeping I looked out the window which was invigorating, surprised of the beauty of, what I thought, was the dull
