Divergent High: College Life

ｔｗｅｎｔｙ

It's been a few days since I've come home from Portland, and I am so happy. Of course, I love Portland, you know, it's where I grew up, but Chicago is home to me. Also, Tobias is coming home today, so why wouldn't I be happy?

Actually, I have to pick him up in an hour and a half, so I better get out of bed and get moving. I roll out of bed and walk to the bathroom, grabbing a towel on my way.

After a quick fifteen minute shower, I wrap the towel around my body and walk back into my room, and then into my closet. I dry off and then put on a bra and underwear. I wander around my closet for a few minutes, and decide to throw on a green tropical cropped tank and light blue skinny jeans. For my hair, I just blow dry it, and brush it out. Then I put on foundation, concealer, bronzer, highlighter, eyeshadow, eye liner, mascara, blush, and pinkish/red tinted Burt's Bees chapstick.

I grab my tan cross body purse from my desk, and my phone from the nightstand, and then run down the stairs in my bare feet. The clock reads 12:02 as I slide on my black American Rag sandals that were by the door.

I have to go, Tobias lands in a half hour and it takes about that long to get to the airport.

While fishing through my purse for my car keys, I yell to my parents that I'm leaving, and dash out the door to my car. When I finally find the keys, I unlock the doors and get in, starting the ignition as soon as I can.  I back out of the driveway while trying to get the AC on and then zoom off towards the airport.

It took a little under 30 minutes to get to the airport, just like I thought it was going to. After I find a spot in the short-term parking garage, I jump out of the car and lock it as I walk towards the elevator.

As soon as the elevator doors open, I run into the airport, and then start walking when I get inside. I check the arrival board and see that Tobias's plane just landed, and he'll be walking out of gate D.

It takes a few minutes to get as close as I can to gate D, and I get a text right as I do.

Tobias❤️💋: hey bby, landed a few mins ago. It'll take a bit for everyone to get off the plane. Ily😘 see u in a bit❤️❤️

I smile.

Me: ok bby. See u soon. Ily 2❤️😘

I lean on a wall for a little bit until I see people moving from gate D walking towards the small crowd I'm in. Then I start trying to stand on my tippy toes to see. I scan over all the people until I see a tall tan guy with short curly dark brown hair. Tobias.

I smile and run towards him. When I reach him, he lets go of his suitcase and I jump in his arms. His arms wound tightly around my waist, and mine do the same to his neck. We hold onto each other for a good couple minutes, until we loosen our grips.

The first thing Tobias does after putting me back on the ground is kiss me. Passionate and full of love. God, I missed him. I smile into the kiss and we pull apart.

"Do you have everything?"

"No, I checked a bag too."

"Okay, what conveyor belt thing?"

"Six, I think."

"Okay," I respond as I grab his hand and we start walking to the baggage claim area.

We just got back to the car after getting Tobias's bag, and we're waiting to get out of the parking garage.
