Chapter 37: First Class
Chapter 35
The boarding announcement echoed over the speakers, and our group began to move forward. We were among the first to board, thanks to Evelyn's insistence on flying first class. No complaints from me. The seats were wide, the legroom endless, and the cabin looked like something out of a luxury catalog.
As we settled into our seats, I noticed Charlie casually sliding on his sleep mask and reclining like he owned the plane. Alan kept adjusting his neck pillow like it was a Rubik's Cube.
A few minutes later, the rest of the passengers began boarding. I spotted them again—Ross, Chandler, Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, Joey, David, and Professor Wheeler—filing in through the cabin doors.
They paused as they passed through first class. Chandler did a double take at our row.
"Whoa," he said, eyeing us. "So this is where the rich family vacation starts. Look at that. They've got a twelve-year-old in first class and I'm still waiting to hit my frequent flyer miles."
Joey leaned over to Chandler and whispered, "Do you think they have caviar snacks up here?"
Charlie lifted his sleep mask just in time to smirk. "Depends. Want to trade your peanuts for champagne?"
Chandler raised a brow. "Tempting. But I don't think they'd let me back here after my last mini-bar incident."
Monica rolled her eyes and pulled him by the sleeve. "Come on. Let the rich kids enjoy their legroom."
Rachel offered me a friendly wave. "Enjoy the flight."
"Thanks," I said. "I'll try not to spill my sparkling water on the leather."
