"Spencer, I promise you packed enough books, now let's go!" You shout. You were supposed to leave ten minutes ago for the airport but last minute tasks got in the way this morning. You quickly grab your suitcases and backpack as Spencer rushes towards you with his packed suitcase.
"But what if I get bored on the plane and need more to read?" He asks.
"If you get bored, I'll be there and we can play a card game or something. Plus they have wifi and I'm bringing my computer." You say. "Now come on, we gotta go!"
You both sprint out the door and hurriedly pack your things into the Uber you ordered. The driver takes you to the airport and once you arrive you jump out out of the car as it slowly comes to a stop. You take your bags and run to the front of the airport to get your tickets.
"Please place your bags on the scale." Says the lady. You put your two suitcases on the scale and she puts both of them on the conveyor belt behind her. You then place you backpack on it which she lets you take. Spencer goes next, and she places his suitcase on the conveyor belt as well and lets him take his satchel. Once she gives you directions to your gate you two hold hands and walk quickly to security.
"Y/n, it's ok we will make it to the plane on time." Says Spencer. You're practically dragging him through the airport and he's tripping over his feet trying to keep up with you. You realize him struggling and slow down.
"Yeah, I guess you would know." You say. "I'm sorry I'm just excited."
"It's ok, I understand." He says back. "I am too."
You smile and continue to walk with him towards security. The man standing at the small podium checks your tickets and tells you to take off your shoes and jewelry. You place everything in a plastic white container and let it go down the conveyor belt to be checked as you walk through the large metal detector, finished by a woman with a hand held one scanning your body. Once she clears you and Spencer you put your shoes back on and grab all of your stuff. You two hold hands again and walk towards the gate.
"Look at that, we still have ten minutes to spare." Says Spencer as he checks his watch. You let out a relieved sigh and sit down in front of your gate while you wait.
"Do you want me to get any snacks or anything before we leave?" He asks.
"Could you get a few bags of potato chips?" You ask.
"You got it." He says. He stands up and walks toward one of the snack bars in the airport. As you sit and wait you feel your phone vibrate.
