Tierneigh and Nailea were finally heading to the airport, leaving Shay behind. And Shay was not handling it well.

I better be on FaceTime the entire time or I'm blocking you both.

tristan

We haven't even left yet, chill 💀

sam

No. Suffering. Absolute betrayal. I hope your flight gets delayed.

noah

Wow. Evil.

sam

Maybe.

The dramatics continued all the way to the airport, with Shay alternating between being salty and making them promise to send constant updates. Meanwhile, the rest of the group chat was hyping them up.

THEY'RE FINALLY LEAVING LET'S GOOO

Operation "Get Tierneigh to LA Without Aryan Figuring It Out" is officially in motion.

What's the over/under on Nailea getting stopped at security for overpacking?

trevor

I give it 20 minutes before she holds up the line.

daniel

That's generous.

And they weren't wrong.

Nailea had overpacked. Her suitcase was exactly at the weight limit, and she was determined not to check an extra bag. But when the airport worker told her she'd have to remove some stuff, she started negotiating like her life depended on it.

"I just—look, what if I just wear three layers of clothes? Will that help?"

Tierneigh sighed. "Nailea, just take out a pair of shoes."

"I need all six pairs, Tierneigh."

After five minutes of arguing, she ended up stuffing half her things into Tierneigh's suitcase instead. Tierneigh glared at her but accepted her fate. "If my bag gets overweight because of you, I'm leaving you here."

Next came security, which was another disaster.

Nailea forgot to take her laptop out, so she got flagged, then panicked and almost walked away without her passport. Meanwhile, Tierneigh had to throw away a full-size lotion she swore she had packed in her checked bag.

"Why am I like this?" Tierneigh muttered as she sadly tossed the expensive lotion into the bin.

The group chat was thriving with updates.

Nailea fumbled security, I KNEW IT

winnie

Did they detain her yet

tristan

No but I kinda wish they did

Finally, after surviving check-in and security, they made it to the gate. Tierneigh grabbed snacks while Nailea flopped into a chair, exhausted.

And then, of course, Tierneigh almost missed boarding.

Nailea was already in line when she looked around and realized Tierneigh was gone.

@freshlypaintednails 

WHERE ARE YOU????

Chill I'm coming

She strolled up three minutes later with a drink and an armful of overpriced airport snacks. "They had my favorite chips," she said like that explained everything.

Nailea just stared at her. "I hate you."

"You'd do the same thing."

She wasn't wrong.

Once on the plane, they finally started to relax. Well, Nailea did—she knocked out instantly, mouth open, completely gone. Tierneigh, on the other hand, found herself sitting next to an older woman who immediately struck up a conversation.

"Oh, you remind me of my granddaughter," the lady started. "She's about your age! Are you traveling for school? Work?"

Tierneigh smiled politely, already bracing herself for a long flight.
