Once the plan had landed, Grayson got up yawning and stretched. He got his backpack and his dufflebag from the overhead bin as quickly as possible so he could get off the plane, it felt really cramped already and he really enjoyed his space. The boy could really use some fresh air at the moment. Once he got out the plane he looked around, looking for the right exit. After a bit of trying to remember the right exit, he found the bus and got on, taking a brief moment to enjoy the fresh air. There were already people seated on the bus, a part of the other twenty-three teens who were also sent on this trip with him. He found a seat by himself and sat down. Putting his bags in the little space in between his seat and the seat in front of him. He looked out the window, already enjoying the scenery. It was beautiful. The sky was a nice shade of blue and it was very sunny. He yawned one more time, still a bit tired from the flight. He had taken a quick nap on the plane but it didn't last very long, due to the uncomfortableness the plane provided.

Samantha got up from her seat, excited to be in Malibu. The night before, she couldn't sleep very easily due to all the building excitement. She got her bags and got off the plane, looking outside the window. Amazed by the beautiful sight of Malibu. She held her bags, looking for the exit. Once she found it, she went outside, smiling. She really was in Malibu, a place she had dreamed of going to since she was in middle school. Samantha got on the bus, finding a seat by herself. She looked in front of her, seeing that she sat behind the girl who she had known as Michi. She seemed busy, listening to something on a cute cat ear headset. The headset seemed pretty cool, glowing pretty shades of colors. Samantha moved her attention to the window, seeing different people doing different things. Some arriving to Malibu, just like her and the other twenty-three students who came on the trip, and some people who seemed to just be living their everyday lives. She took out her phone, taking a quick peek at her social media before putting it away.

Michi Suzuki

Michi scrolled through the Angelic Pretty website. She wanted the Sugar Candy Shop one piece, but didn't know if she wanted it in sax or pink. Noticing that someone had sat behind her, she turned and smiled.
"OK, so say you wanted this dress," Michi said as she pulled up the pop up, "but didn't know which color way to get it in. Which one looks better?" Michi rested her cheek on her hand, waiting for a reply.

xxxxxxaugust raised his chin, making eye contact with the stranger. august was confused, as the boy wasn't saying anything.. just pointing to a seat. he raised an eyebrow, before smiling and nodding his head. augustus moved his bags, allowing space for the boy. "that seats not taken, you can have it." august hummed, as he studied the stranger. he was cute. august bit his lower lip, running a hand through his dark hair. "you from oregon, too?" he asked, trying to make decent conversation. "i'm augustus, by the way. you can call me august though." a friendly grin lined his lips, as he reached out his hand. he noticed how shy and anxious the stranger was. august sort of felt bad, no one should be nervous for this vacation. it was meant to be relaxing, and a break from stress before college.

xxxxxxthe blonde looked down as her phone buzzed, and she couldn't help but giggle a bit at cato's message. classic cato, always getting lost and confused. 'hey' she texted him, 'omg we're already on the bus.. ugh i'll come and find you. where are you?' avery said, as she stood up. she placed her bags on the seats, making sure no one would take them. avery rushed out of the bus, frantically looking around the airport. there was no way in hell she was missing the bus. she tucked her phone into her pocket and rushed around the airport, before spotting her best friend next to the baggage pick-up. she smiled, running over and hugging him, laughing as the boy struggled to balance his bags while hugging her back. "hey," she smiled, as she pulled away and motioned towards the bus. "how was your plane ride? mine was super boring." she said, as she started to the exit. "we gotta hurry, the bus might leave without us." once they arrived on the bus, avery let out a relieved sigh. she sat down on the seat, moving her bags. she then patted to the seat next to her, motioning for cato to join her. "you almost made us miss the bus. thanks, cato." she teased, as she folded her legs and leaned back."isn't malibu beautiful?"

Hearing a voice, she looked in front of her and saw Michi asking her what color she preferred for a dress. Samantha looked closely at the pop up. They were both really nice dresses, not something that Samantha would wear though, but still really nice. "I think the sax one looks really nice. SInce the colors really match, where as the pink one, the design is all pink, which the candy pattern is mostly pink. With the sax, you get two colors in one dress and the colors really compliment each other." Samantha answered. She had a good taste in fashion, just not a real fashionista who would look so close as the way a piece of clothing was sewn. "That's just my opinion though really. Hoped I was able to help you." She smiled, happy to help her.

Michi Suzuki

Michi nodded. "Totally. The sax is much more in style right now anyway. Pink is slowly losing it's place in the lolita world." She sighed and opened the camera app on her phone. She started putting on her favorite tinted lipgloss. It was made to taste like cotton candy. The taste wasn't as strong as the smell.
I'm Michi, by the way. Not sure if we've properly met before." Michi put her lipgloss in her alpaca backpack and turned back to the girl behind her. "Who are ya? Not to sound rude or anything, I mean, I just don't know who you are.
Lovely to meet you though. And you totally helped. I'd look ridiculous at the future tea parties and galas if I wore the pink colorway." Michi almost groaned in spite of herself. Being this nice wasn't her norm. She felt obligated to be nice to this girl. She didn't seem too bad.

➵ the flight was finally over. the ginger girl couldn't have been more relieved as she stepped off of the plane with an expensive leather backpack thrown over her shoulder. her eyes flickered around, dark blue orbs searching for something... or someone. as her feet touched the ground, she silently rejoiced. astoria hated planes. even worse, she hated heights. for the entirety of the flight, her window was shut tight. there was no way she was going to look outside and realize how far off the ground she was. she knew the likelihood of the plane crashing was tiny, but it was still a huge fear of hers, and seeing the ground thousands of feet below her wouldn't help at all. she shivered slightly as she thought about it, walking up the ramp and into the terminal. she had to make a stop at baggage claim to get her suitcase before heading to the bus.

she walked down the terminal, looking around. she was surrounded by tourists of all sorts, a lot of families with hawaiian shirts and disposable cameras. she rolled her blue eyes to herself and made it to baggage claim, grabbing her suitcase when she saw it coming around the carousel. astoria looked at her watch. she still had some time to make it to the bus. so, she walked back through the terminal and outside, feeling a gust of warm, somewhat humid air hit her. yes, they were definitely near a beach. it was weird though, california was usually so dry. it was, after all, a desert. she soon realized the outfit she wore on the plain would do her no justice against the searing heat. she made a mental note to change into shorts and a crop top as soon as she got to her room.

astoria put up her bags and sat down on the bus, looking around at the others. everyone was getting settled and talking amongst each other. and there she was, trying to figure out what to do. she was okay in social situations but she didn't want to interrupt everyone. they all seemed to be in conversations of their own and one of her biggest pet peeves was being interrupted, so of course she wouldn't want to do that to anyone else. astoria let out a sigh, then seeing a guy sitting on the bus alone. she casually moved over. "hey, you're grayson right?" she asked, sitting down next to him. she would return to her own seat if the conversation got boring, but she figured she might as well try to talk to someone.

she didn't want to say she was disappointed by not seeing a familiar face immediately, but she had no idea where maddox was. besides, why would it even matter to her? sure, he was one of her friends, but nothing more... right? to be honest, astoria didn't really know sometimes. her feelings for the boy fluctuated from time to time. but she wasn't going to let herself think about something like that at a time like this. she had finally made it to malibu and at least she had someone to socialize with.

Grayson was still looking out the window, his grogginess going away little by little. Soon he was fully awake, ready for the bus to go. He wondered where his best friend was, probably still finding her luggage. Grayson sent her a quick text asking where she was. Hey where are you? I'm pretty sure almost half of the people on this trip are already on the bus. he texted to Fawn's phone. He raked his hand through his hair, a little bored. He looked at his phone and which there really was nothing going on, except a text from his mom now and then asking how he was doing. Grayson saw a girl sit next to him and started to say something. He looked at the girl who was talking to him, seeing who it was. It was a girl whom he knew as Astoria. He didn't talk to her often when they were at school. "Yup, that's me. You're Astoria, right?" he answered. He did recognized her from her red hair. Some people had nicknames for her which originated from the color of her hair.

"I'm Samantha. I think we had one class together but didn't get the chance to properly talk." she introduced herself. "It's been nice meeting you and glad I could help you too. Nice alpaca backpack by the way." She seemed nice, although when they were at school, she didn't seem as friendly to other people. Not that she was complaining, she was happy that Michi was being nice, which seemed to Samantha that they were getting along well. She soon started to wonder where the other students were. They did get off the plane around the same time, hopefully they don't miss the bus.

➵ astoria nodded quickly with a light smile. "yep. are you excited for the trip?" she asked. "malibu is stunning. i went here once when i was a freshman." she remarked. astoria's eyes shimmered as she thought about the first time she stepped foot on the beach at malibu. it was so peaceful and serene. the waves gently rolling onto the shore, washing over her feet and then retreating back into the ocean.

Michi Suzuki

"Yea, I think it was math or something. I dunno. I usually stick to my clique in school." Michi rubbed her fingers over each of her nails. She'd painted them a pretty pastel yellow, not the gross throw up kind, but the pastel yellow that stuck around during Easter.
"So, are you excited for this trip, or what?"

Kai Sidana

Kai looked around. Everyone seemed to be in their own world. He traced the tattoo on his left hand and stared out the window. Malibu was truly beautiful. Kai would've killed to have moved here.

fawn looked up as the seat belt signs vanished from the top. she had been stuck in the middle of two strangers for the two hour flight and couldn't wait to get off the plane. my legs are going to be so shaky she thought to herself as she started to stand up. of course she was right and stumbled a bit as she got off the giant metal death trap. the girl never was one for planes, or buses, or even cars. her motion sickness wouldn't let her enjoy the rides. funnily enough she never did get sick on boats. she made her way out into the airport only to find herself confused with all the signs pointing in different directions. she adjusted the straps of her blush colored backpack and stared her journey towards baggage claim.

fawn had always been a bright girl and though initially confused she quickly oriented herself and found the right carousel. once she had a hold of her own suitcase she then proceeded to get some coffee. once finding a decent caffeine supplier she paid the barista and checked her phone. damn it! she whispered as she saw the time. the bus would be leaving soon and she still hadn't found it. and to top it all of her best friend, grayson, had just texted. sorry! needed my coffee. be there in a dash. she texted the boy before stuffing the phone in her pocket and looked for the exit. after a few minutes she successfully stood in front of the designated bus.

the california air was stuffy and hot. not to mention humid too. she sighed already missing oregon but soon remembered that she was indeed going to be attending college here soon. fawn had always had a knack for academics. indeed she was a cheerleader, and pretty popular too. however, she loved math and forensic sciences. thus, she had selected stanford as her top choice. receiving her letter of admission had to be one of the best moments of her life. snapping back into reality she looked at the big bus and climbed on.

she quickly saw what grayson meant by "half the people" were already here. but fawn was deeply relieved when she found that the seat in front of her best friend to be unoccupied. sorry i'm late stranger she said sitting down in front of grayson and astoria. fawn was never really fond of the girl. she didn't hate her or dislike her. she was just a meh. her attitude was the complete opposite of fawn's. she knew astoria didn't like her openly bubbly personality but frankly, fawn didn't care. so with that she took a seat in front of the two.
