Tomorrow, on my way to work, when the road splits, and I could either take the 540 exit to work or the Airport exit, maybe Ill take the Airport exit. And maybe I'll get a ticket to somewhere warm (It's supposed to be 25 degrees here in the morning), wherever I can get a ticket. For arguments sake, lets just say that American Airlines has a flight to Miami which then connects with Jamaica.
So here I am in the airport with my grey sweater and black slacks. It's 7:30 am, and my flight does not leave until 8:30, so I have time to see if I can find a little store that sales sweatshirts and sweat pants. I buy a blue ensemble with North Carolina printed on it.
It is now 8:00 and I am sitting at the gate waiting for my plane to start boarding. First period is just starting, and I need to call them and tell them that I wont be in until next Monday. I hate to lie, so I just call the office and tell Ms. Taylor (the go to person) that I wont be back until Monday. She just assumes I have the flue (It'.s going around you know) and I leave it at that.
I also call my work BFF--"Girl you wont believe this, I am sitting in the Airport on my way to Jamaica. Yes, I know. I'll call you when I get to Miami."
The next person I call is Tre, this sexy 26 year old that I met when I was in Miami last spring. (He lives in Miami, but is from Jamaica)
"Hey Tre, remember me, we met last spring on the beach."
"Of course I remember you," he says.
I smile and feel all giddly at the sound of his accent.
"Well Im going to be in Miami around 11:00, do you wanna meet for an early lunch."
"Sure, but what are you doing in Miami?"
"Im on my way to Jamaica and I have a 2 hour layover in Miami"
"How did this happen?" he asks.
"Anyway, my plane is boarding" I say. "Ill explain it to you when I get there. Just meet me at the airport at 11:00.
An hour and half later, as my classroom is filling up with 14 and 15 year old rambunctious teenagers, my plane is landing in Miami where it is now 68 degrees....
