What Are The Odds? --- Chapter 1

Rated PG or G

I was sitting in a plane with my best friend, waiting for it to take off. My best friend in the world, Faith Taryan, had been my best friend as long as I could remember. She and I did everything together, in fact, people thought we were sisters, partly because we look alike. We both have brown hair, Fair skin, blue eyes, and a dimple. She was 21, and I was only 20, but we were always in the same grade at school, so that never really mattered. Anyway, Faith had never flown before, so even though it was 10 minutes before take off, she had her seatbelt on and was gripping the seat like her life depended on it. Her lips were moving in a silent prayer. Suddenly, she leaned over to me with eyes wide with fright, and whispered "What's that noise?" "Relax," I told her, "They just started putting fuel in the plane."

We were flying to Hawaii, because that is where we used to live before we moved to North Carolina to go to college at Meredith University, an all girls school. We had both lived on the island of Oahu, in a suburb of a big city there. We were anxious to see our friends again, and we were going to stay with my cousin Christina, because she had 2 extra bedrooms, she was going to let us use them while we were there. So there we were, on our way to Hawaii to get tan, get boyfriends, (since we went to an all girls school,we did not have much chance for that), see our old friends, and see our nieces, nephews, and my godchild. Since we'd just gotten out of school for the summer that day, we took the midnight flight to Oahu. Our plan was to rent a car there and go to a hotel so we wouldn't bother my cousin in the middle of the night.
