Mumbo's Perspective-

Mumbo looked up at the screens which listed all of the flights.

Flight 0189. That's this way. Mumbo thought, facing his left.

He grabbed his luggage and started walking off.

He arrived just in time and only had a bit of a wait until his flight.

I hope it doesn't get canceled. I don't have a lot of time to make my way through the Atlanta airport to catch my flight to California.

Mumbo sat down by himself and took out his phone.

He sighed as he immediately shut it off and looked out the window.

It was a bit gray and cloudy, but there was no rain.

It was really busy at the airport, but Mumbo assumed that it was like that because it was winter break.

Winter break and he was going to spend time with his aunt and uncle and other cousins instead of going home with his parents.

But he didn't mind.

His cousins were always fun, and his aunt and uncle were very kind.

Mumbo just wished that they lived closer so he didn't have to take two flights to get to them.

"Now boarding, first class." The lady at the desk said on the radio.

Some people got up and started to walk up.

Mumbo looked at his ticket and smiled bitterly as he saw that he was sitting near the back of economy class.

Eventually, he was able to board and he made his way to the back.

Z 12, Z 12, ah! Here it is-

Mumbo saw that someone was already sitting in the seat next to his.

The way the plane was laid out was that only two seats were next to each other instead of three, which Mumbo was happy yet nervous about.

He was happy since it meant that he wasn't going to get stuck in the middle seat, but also nervous as that meant that he would be stuck with a stranger.

One stranger.

Who he would be stuck with for a couple of hours.

And he had social anxiety.

Mumbo put his luggage over him before sitting down next to the guy.

The guy stared determinedly out the window.

Mumbo looked at him.

He wore a red sweater, round, black rimmed glasses, black jeans, and tennis shoes.

Mumbo opened his mouth and right as he was going to say something, the guy put his headphones on.

Oh. I guess this is how it's going to be.

Mumbo shrugged and took it his phone and put it on airplane mode before putting on his headphones.

This is going to be a long and awkward flight.

Mumbo sighed as he slumped down.

I just want to get this over with.
