I and the other customers waited for the airplane to go to the port. I looked around the gate and immediately noticed that there are couples with their children and kids walking and running around the gate. Some men are wearing their suits with matching slacks and their cases are also there, and looks like they're heading to Manila for a business meeting or a business trip. Some are from Manila but they're heading back to their city because their vacations are over. It's April when they got here and, now, they head back to Manila because classes are resuming. And some of the passengers of the flight to Manila who are Americans and other ethnicity wore their own Hawaiian-like shirts and polo, and they're heading back to Manila for their connecting flight to where they lived.

A couple of minutes later, the plane reached the port and all the passengers on that plane head out from the plane. When the gates are opened, all passengers of that flight immediately formed a line on the entrance gate and immediately showed their tickets to the flight attendants. I also filled on that line with my bag and also showed the attendants my ticket. The attendants immediately ripped off the terminal fee slip and also half of the ticket and gave it to me. Then I walked inside the gate, went through the tunnel heading to the plane, and went inside the plane. I looked at the female FAs and immediately smiled as I showed them my ticket.

"Where is this seat?" I asked an attendant with a smile.

The attendant immediately leaned her body towards me and looked at the ticket. Then she gave the ticket back to me and looked at me and returned me with a smile.

"Your seat is located at the middle of the plane, sir." she replied at me.

I looked at the attendant with a smile.

"Thank you!" I said to the woman.

I walked to the middle of the plane and looked for my seat. When I reached my seat, I immediately noticed that I'll be sitting next to the window. I looked at the person who will be sitting next to me and noticed that it's a kid---- a girl, I presume. The girl is a twelve-year-old, with blonde hair and white skin, blue eyes and quite nose, probably an American or somewhat. The girl is wearing her pink shirt with blue skirt, and has ahuge card hanging around her neck that says First-Time Flyer. So I looked at the girl and smiled.

"Hey!" I said at the girl.

The girl looked at me and smiled.

"Good morning!!" she greeted.

"I sit next to your seat." I said at girl. "Do you wanna switch seats?"

The girl looked at my seat and noticed that my seat is located next to the window. So she looked back at me and smiled.

"Sure!" she said at me.

Then the girl immediately stood up and sat to my seat.

"Thank you!!" I thanked the girl.

I pulled my body up, opened the overhead drawer and put my bag inside the drawer, and shut the drawer close. Then I sat to the seat of the girl and immediately looked at the girl once again, and noticed that the girl is looking at the window. Then I started to remember that I have a snack bar on my pocket. So I took the snack bar from my pocket and showed it to the girl.

"You're hungry?" I asked the girl.

The girl looked at me and smiled.

"No, thanks." she said at me.

Suddenly, I heard her stomach growled. So she looked at me and smiled.

"Here." I said at the girl. "Take this."
