*Sam's POV*

As soon as we reached the plane that we would take, we were handcuffed.

Now, I didn't mind it, of course I was annoyed but I knew why they were doing it so I kept shut.

Cathy, on the other hand, immediately looked at me wriggled her eyebrows and whispered "kinky." Even at times like this, she finds the will to joke.

Once we got inside the plane, (which mind you probably was the smallest one I've seen with about only another 50 people) it looked normal. The windows were opened, we had our one bag under the chair, and there were 3 seats each row. It looked like a standard flight, apart from everyone being handcuffed of course.

"Ok everyone, welcome to, probably your first and last flight. It will last for 5 hours. You are only allowed to go to the bathroom and back, you are not allowed to use your hands. We suggest you sleep or anything else that would help ease your nerves, you're not exactly going on vacation here. Ok. We will take off shortly. "

"Ugh! We still don't know where we're going!" It seems me and Cathy have the same pent up frustration.

"Don't worry." Even though I, myself was worrying.

"We'll figure everything out once we get there. We must have some family there, right?"

"Don't worry about where to go just yet, as soon as you get there you'll be put in a shelter until you have somewhere to go." Explained a policeman going up and down the aisles.

"Well then I guess we don't have to worry about that for now." Cathy said rolling her eyes.

"Hey are y'all Cathy and Samantha?"

We both looked up to see a short girl hovering over us with both her hands handcuffed and a bag slung over her shoulder.

"Yeah. You need us?" Cathy replied slightly agitated.

"You gonna have to get used to me. We're seatmates." She put her bag on the ground and sat down next to me. I got a good look at her.

She had two short french braids on each side of her head and was darker than both me and Cathy. She had big arms which I caught Cathy staring at and was wearing summer clothes.

"I'm D'oveyon. Mind that not pronounced Dōveyon, or Dôve yon, or Daivion. D'oveyon."

"I'd introduce us but it seems you already know us." She stifled a laugh.

And after that, the 3 of us just clicked. She was older than Cathy but younger than me so all of us got along really well. It felt like meeting Aliah or Mark for the first time. But it was different. We could actually stay together for a while. The mood brightened in the plane, well at least for us three. We had another 3 hours to pass by so we were just conversing. However, it wasn't the most intellectual conversation.

Cathy was mumbling something and I listened closely and heard that she was rapping, but what surprised me was that D caught along really quickly.

"Way back on the first day of high school."

Almost immediately another voice continued.

"Pull up into my room."

What were they doing?

I watched as they went back and forth until they got to the chorus and they just started having a blast.

"Welcome! To the! Final! Dang!"

"Excuse me? Could you two shut up? This isn't a family vacation." A police officer snapped.

I chuckled. No duh, they were going to get caught with that ruckus.

"Party poopers. Who shoved a stick up his arse?" Said D while rolling her eyes. Cathy just lost it.

"Only you insult the police officers deporting you." Then all three of us cracked up.

~~~~~~~~~~~

About two hours into the flight I started having issues.

"Ughhh. Can we do something about these handcuffs?!" I exclaimed in frustration. I could be drawing or writing or anything! But no! I'm stuck here useless.

"Oh come on. Just sleep for another 3 hours and we'll be good!" Groaned D as she stirred away.

I pulled one of her braids playfully.

"Dang! Ok chill! I don't know man. Just stop moving your hands and you should be just fine." She went back to sleep again.

"Oh my lord you are a living sloth."

I decided to try and open my bag. Which resulted in utter failure because I dropped all of the stuff in my bag and I ended up asking a police officer to help me put stuff back and take a book out.

"Ma'am, you have about 16 books in here. Which one did you say you wanted?" The woman helping me was clearly annoyed by now.

"The Fault In Our Stars." I had read that book about 26 times already but I don't think I'll ever get bored of it. From the characters to the second-hand book mentions to the plot. Everything about it is so beautiful.

"Wow. You have good taste." I looked over at D but she was sleeping to no prevail. I turned the opposite direction and saw the police lady going through all of my books.

"Really? Thanks." I replied unsure of what to say.

"Y'know if you like books like this I would recommend prince in disguise. It's a book you'll reread over and over again."

"Oh yeah! I've been meaning to buy that. Thank you for helping me out." I knew I was being Abit rude cutting off the conversation but I really wanted to start reading.

"Just ask." And she walked away.

~~~~~~~~~~

Once the pilot and police announced that we we're going to start landing, I shook Cathy and D awake. I mean I thought it was best.

We were chatting it up when all of a sudden D just stopped. She looked out the window and as did I. It was beautiful.

Green mountains and trees everywhere. Small houses and a huge lake.

"D, where exactly are we? Where is this?"

"It's our home. It's El Salvador."
