His flight had been less than enjoyable and it was evident on his face. It looked like he had gotten sleep in at least a day and his plans of napping on the plane had been ruined by feeling sick the entire time. Never had he thought he'd feel sick on a plane after all the traveling he had done, but here he was. Pulling his baseball cap off to run his fingers through his hair quickly, Gus let a sigh escape his lips as he set the cap back down. Making his way over to the luggage pickup, he found his things with ease before pulling his phone out to check where the group was meeting up. Honestly, he wasn't sure how he felt about the whole trip. He had come nonetheless. His only motivation was to apologize to Rose, but maybe it would be fun in the end.

Pulling his suitcase along as he scrolled through his messages, he looked up just in time to make out the two familiar females standing only yards ahead. It made him freeze almost instantly. Of course Rose was already there. The sight of her only made the guilt he had tried to suppress the entire flight here come up instantly. Why had he been so stupid in the first place? It was even stupider that he threw hockey in as an excuse, but the sport had taken him all the way to the University of Minnesota and he hadn't thought a long distance relationship would have worked out.

Biting down on his lip, he took a moment to compose himself before pushing himself forward to join his two old friends. "Well, isn't it nice to see a couple old faces around here," he greeted with a faint smile upon his lips. "I hope I'm not interrupting something."

It was an extremely long flight from Glasgow to Kahului airport taking a whole twenty-three hours which including flying down to London Heathrow, then to Seattle and then from Seattle down to Kahului. It was defiantly the longest flight that Charles had ever done but he had to admit, to be able to see his old high school gang again and vacation on a gorgeous island was worth the long hall. Of course for several hours of journey, the young Scotsman had slept [not comfortably either as there were a lot of turbulence] while some of the time he sat chatting to a beautiful Italian girl - whom he did flirt with of course - showing off his exceptional Italian. Yes, minus the muscle-tightening turbulence Charles rather enjoyed his trip. He even managed to get the Italian girl's name and number. After having chatted up the first girl, Charles spotted a blonde English girl who reminded the lad a lot of his best friend Adelle even though it was obviously not her. He'd pretended to spill his cup of water on her, apologizing profusely and stating how clumsy he always was [a lie clearly]. Like any poor girl, this one fell for Charles' act which won him an empty seat next to her where he proceeded to chat her up and she giggled. The majority of girls that Charles met [minus those from Scotland] often commented how much they adored his accent which he then used to his advantage.

As the flight dragged on, Charles bid the English girl a romantic farewell, kissed her hand and left as he headed back towards his seat. He grinned as he'd managed to gain the name and numbers of two lovely young ladies. Even the elderly woman who was sat next to him enjoyed his occasional flirting. For the remainder of the flight, Charles took out his laptop and began flicking through the photos he'd taken of his friends back in high school. A large number of them seemed to have Adelle in them looking as beautiful as ever. He thought back to his first day of high school, having accidentally ran into her and causing her bag of fashion magazines and make-up to fall out all over the hall. From that day, Charles had held a crush on her, only growing stronger as the months went by but being the school clown that he was - even though he was somewhat popular with the girls - rather shy to tell her. The last photo he saw was one of all ten of them outside the school on the day of graduation. Yes, he was very excited to see them all once again and eager to hear what they'd been upto. No doubt Cassidy was a student at some posh upper-class smart-alec collage or university; Adelle was most likely studying some sort of fashion course and well Faolan...he was probably traveling, taking the world by storm as they say. Charles laughed to himself as he turned the laptop off and got ready for landing.

Once the plane landed, the brunette Scotsman exited the plane with his laptop bag and a small backpack. He made his way through immigration towards the baggage collection point where his bag was surprisingly one of the first out. It was a medium sized suitcase that was tattered and torn up but still worked perfectly well. Dragging his case through the arrivals terminals, he soon made his way to the exits where he and his friends had planned to meet one another. He knew that Adelle would have been the first or even arrived early.

Faolan 'Fao' Blackwood | The Wild | 21 | Single | Tagged;; Adelle, Rosalinta, Charles

Fao hated flying. It was tiresome, it was boring, and it made him feel rubbish. While he'd been travelling across America after high school, he'd grown bored of that and headed back to his roots in Ireland. Galway was beautiful, though quiet, but he'd found his outlet with racehorses - who could beat the feeling of flying down the track on an animal that had the potential to kill you? It was the adrenaline rush Fao craved, and while he wasn't the right weight to race, he trained and he exercised the thoroughbreds and it paid decent money. Enough to live on, and enough to buy alcohol and cigarettes with. Which, to be honest, was all he needed in life.

But he'd been invited on this trip to Hawaii and it was an offer he couldn't turn down. A chance to see his old high school friends again, and a chance to let off some steam on white sandy beaches? God yes. So he drove from Galway to Dublin, flew from Dublin to Heathrow, then from Heathrow to Kahului. It took forever, and by the time he finally made it to the airport he was desperately craving a smoke and some proper food. And a chance to stretch his legs.

But he made it through customs and got his bag back (a large black holdall) before he headed in search of the people he hadn't seen in years. It didn't take him long to find them. A cluster of twenty-somethings in a busy airport wasn't uncommon, but he recognised the long blonde hair of Adelle, and the brown hair and knee-high leather boots of Rose. God, he'd missed her.

Making his way over, he pushed some hair out of his face - God, it was far hotter here than in Ireland, that was for sure. He bumped into Charles first, on his way over to the little group and grinned.

"Miss me?"

➢ Just as Adelle posed her question, a deeper voice chimed into their conversation. Whirling to face the intruder, the young woman relaxed as she recognised Gus. "Look who decided to show their face after all these years," she said with a smile. Adelle knew of the history between Rose and Gus, things hadn't exactly ended on good terms for her friend. Preoccupied by these thoughts, the sight of one all too familiar face caught her off-guard. Charles.. Her heart fluttered, just once, before her face lit up in a grin. Her best friend in the whole world was there, in front of her. She ran towards him throwing her arms around his neck before he got a chance to say anything. They'd fallen out of touch when Adelle had left for New York City, and Charles for Scotland. Breaking apart from him, she gave him a solid whack on the chest. "Where the hell have you been?" She demanded, her apparent anger betrayed by the amusement glinting in her clear blue eyes.

Having recovered from seeing her best friend for the first time in years, Adelle noticed Fao standing next to Charles. "Fao! It's so great to see you," she greeted him amicably. It certainly was weird seeing them all in one place together. Of course there were still a few missing, Brie, Peaches, Cass, Silver and Alec were all yet to show, but even the few that had gathered were enough. Adelle couldn't control the dazzling smile that hadn't left her face since she'd first seen Rose a few minutes ago. Everyone had arrived so suddenly, but Miss Adelle Sterling never got overwhelmed. She was usually the source of it for others in all honesty.

Rose was about to answer her friend’s question when she heard another voice. Turning around on her heel, about to slap someone for interrupting her conversation, she came face to face with Gus. Her face may have paled a little- she couldn’t tell- and her stomach was fluttering. “In fact, you have. You’ve ruined my conversation.” a slight twinkle of amusement shown in Rose’s eyes, the only sign that she was joking. She grinned as Charles approached them, and when she heard the familiar voice of Fao, she couldn’t help but throw her arms around him. It had been too long since they’d all seen eachother. Laughing at Adelle, she pushed her hands into her pockets. “You’ll never believe the ordeal I went through. I don’t ever want to see a baby again.”

looking down at her retriever and piglet, peaches had her family by her side. what was she doing all four years? having a double major : music and wildlife, staying in georgia then flying to the amazon to help with the wildlife. not many would know this but magnolia loved animals. they was loyal of you treated them right. besides, she had bon bon and pagie. the ride from brazil was long and boring. every one on the plane was either asleep or speaking portuguese and/or spanish. peaches was excited to see her friends from high school. they probably wasn't far from where she got off the plane. the girl pulled down on her jean shorts. it matched with her old elvis concert tee and converse. her eyes glowed when she saw her crew and squealed. running quickly over to them, magnolia spoke, "oh my goodness, hey. it's been forever! she said. her pets sat quietly as she was allowed to have them out. plus, cages were small and expensive for a dog and pig.

Rolling his eyes playfully at Rose's response, Gus fell silent as some of the others began to make their entrance. At least they were buying him some time to think over his apology. How would he even begin? He had no clue. It would have to wait until they were alone though. The last thing he wanted was to apologize to her in front of everyone else. That would be far too embarrassing for him. Besides, it was none of the others business what he had to say. Pushing it out of his mind, he pushed the handle of his suitcase down before sitting on top of it and eyeing each newcomer quietly. It was strange how he had ended up in this group. Never had he felt that he fit among them in the first place. He was an odd one in his own right anyways; a quiet athlete who didn't even seem to fit in with the jock crowd either. None of it made sense. Even now in Minnesota, he was much different than his fellow teammates, but that struggle was nothing new for him.

Giving a small wave toward the few newcomers, Gus dropped his hands into his lap. He was itching to hear what the others had been up to all this time, but it seemed that they were preoccupied with one another. He always knew Charles and Adelle were close back in high school so it was only fitting they'd be talking now and Faolan and Rose had been rather close friends as well. That left him and now Peaches. She had been one in high school that he felt closest to. Dipping his head in her direction, he offered her a smile.

Alec yawned, grabbing his luggage from the conveyor belt and swung his herschel bag onto his shoulder.
Ugh, flights.

He yawned again, clearly it wasn't helping out with his blocked ears. He'd slept through the entirety of the flight without plugging his ears in with his earpiece and blasting music; which he now regrets. He probably wouldn't even hear if someone whispered into his ear.
Alec looked about, trying to spot the group which he was supposed to meet, he didn't particularly like big groups nor flights but he'd vowed to himself to take advantage of this trip to at the very least to make a new friend or two.

Looking about and trying to spot the group, it wasn't long before he could mark out the familiar figure of Augustus in the distance, followed by the familiar faces of the others that he'd not seen in a long time. Yawning again,(and actually managing to unplug his ears) he ran a hand through his slightly messy hair, and adjusted his black jacket so that it could slightly reveal the white tank top he was wearing underneath and camo sweatpants that hung loosely at his hips, then dragged his luggage sluggisly towards the group.
"Hey.." Alec muttered as he took an empty space beside Gus.
His eyes glazed over the group quickly before dropping his gaze to his feet, and couldn't help but notice that Erin was nowhere to be seen.

As the Scotsman walked out of the terminal, he heard a familiar voice next to him. Turning his head, Charles grinned widely as he saw Faolan. Laughing at the lad's comment, Charles rolled his eyes and smirked. "Aye! Who wouldn't miss ye, ye eejit?" He teased as he raised a hand and punched Fao's arm. Not long after he spoke, two arms flung themselves around Charles and the familiar scent of Adelle appeared. Charles stumbled slightly before letting go of his suitcase and wrapping his arms round the blonde girl. He chuckled at her response to him being there. "Alright Ade, don't strangle me." He said making a pretend chocking sound. The lass soon backed away but no nicely as she suddenly thwacked his chest and yelled at him. Although he knew she wasn't 100% seriously mad at him, Charles couldn't help but just play along. His grinning expression changed quickly to one of shock and pain before changing back to a half grin. "Chill Adelle, I've been on that plane for 23 bl**dy hours. Not to mention having two stops in between." He remarked. "Besides, you shouldn't be so early." He added quickly as he grabbed his suitcase again. Soon the three of them were joined by Rosalinta, she was a pretty cool lass to hang out with back in the day and no doubt she hadn't changed.

It didn't seem like anyone had actually changed much from high school which was awesome. As Rosa began to complain about her flight over, Charles laughed and ran a hand through his silky brunette hair. "Well I have a chilled - for the most part - flight over despite being a long one. In fact I even managed to get a few lasses numbers." He remarked with a cheeky grin as he gently nudged Faolan's arm. Noticing a few others making their way out of the terminals, Charles just continued to smile as one by one the old gang arrived.

Fao laughed at Charles' comment. "Ah, you're like a puppy." He teased the Scotsman. But it was nice to see him again - nice to see all of them again. He jumped a little as Rose threw her arms around him, but relaxed when he realised who it was. He was still jumpy as ever. Stupid uncle.

"Hey, Rose." He greeted. "Oh, don't even talk to me. I win when it comes to hellish flights." He shot back good-naturedly. "I'm dying for a smoke." As soon as they got out of the ariport,
he knew exactly what he would be doing. But he had to wait, because the whole gang hadn't arrived yet, and they couldn't get moving without everyone. At Charles' next comment, he grinned, nudging him back.

"Nice. Still doesn't change the fact the flight was awful, though. Did we end up on the same plane?" He knew he'd been in Scotland - his social media was enough to tell him that. He wouldn't be surprised if they'd been on the same flight.

Everyone was slowly arriving, and hopefully it wouldn't be long before they could get moving. He was in desperate need of a shower, and he was sure his jaw was rough with the beginnings of stubble.
