“Ladies and gentlemen as we start our descent ensure your seat backs and tray tables are in a full upright position. Make sure your seat belt is securely fastened and all carry-on luggage is stowed underneath the seat in front or in the over head cabins” The flight attendant said as the plane prepared for landing.Arlene Goodman who was one of the passengers on the Swift-lance 8818 air craft quickly checked herself to be sure she was ready for the descent of the plane. Few moments later the passenger address system went off again with an announcement from the pilot.“Flight attendants prepare for landing please, and cabin crew, please take your seats for landing.Another announcement was made prior to that of the pilot. “Ladies and gentlemen, we have been cleared to land at the airport. Please make sure your seatbelts are fastened. Flight attendants please pass around the cabin for final compliance check and pick up any glasses or cups. Thank you.” The attendant said with his foghorn

Arlene was in the classroom scribbling something in her book while her mates were in the theatre auditioning for the new play. She kept writing till she was interrupted by Derek, who snuck up on her from behind. She screamed at first, and then sighed when she saw he was the one.“Don’t ever do that again, you scared the shit out of me” she said with furrowed brows.“Come on, it wasn’t even that deep or can’t you take a joke?”He replied, and she continued with what she was writing without uttering another word to him.When he noticed she wasn’t going to say a thing, he went on to ask about the auditions and why she didn’t want to be part of it. She told him she wasn’t interested in acting and she had better things to do like what she was writing before he interrupted her. “I’m sorry if I’m bothering you,” He said, and then he turned to leave.Arlene felt bad for being mean to him; she stopped him half way to the door and told him she

The final bell for the day went off, Arlene took her bag and headed for the school park, she needed an open space to get inspired for her new book. She had a lot to write, and she hadn’t read her new book yet. She met Derek on the hallway with his friends, in hurry she waved and continued walking to the park, she had a lot to tell him but it would be rude to interrupt their discussion. When she got to the park, it was almost empty; they were only two students present, a male and female.

The note where she was writing the first draft of her first book which she intended to publish once

" I saw Cody Yan on my bed this morning," Olivia said, squealing holding up her blanket and sniffing it to get all of Cody's scent in her nostrils.Sarah moped at her in confusion, if there was anyone to be excited about Cody it should be Arlene. He visited her and stayed overnight, yet Olivia was overjoyed. She promised not to say a thing, in order not to ruin her best friend's mood."I wish we didn't go for that party," she said dropping her blanket and throwing her self properly on her bed."Why?" Sarah asked raising a brow."I could have seen Cody all night long," she replied."You know he was here for Arlene, and he would have probably gone home if you were around?" Sarah said.In as much as she hated to spoil Olivia's mood, she had to stop her from being delusional. She had had a crush on Cody for over a year, and yet she seemed invisible to him. Olivia had a lot of guys coming after her when she was a fresher but Cody didn't, he was a lot different. This made Olivia want him mo
