Stopped by flight attendant

Alexa approached the bathroom when the same flight attendant stepped in front of Alexa, blocking her way. “E-excuse me,” Alexa whispered.

“Young lady, you need your parent to escort you to the bathroom,” the woman said.

“Parent? I’m flying alone,” Alexa said. “I’m not a child.”

“Oh really? You’ve said nothing up to this point. Why should I believe you? I don’t appreciate being lied to,” the woman said. “Now young lady, what do you have with you?”

“None of your business,” Alexa said.

“You can’t just bring a backpack into the bathroom, young lady,” the woman said.

“I just need to go quickly. I’ll be right out,” Alexa said.

“No, now I can escort you to the toilets or you can go back to your seat. But I can’t let you go this way,” the woman said.

Alexa squirmed. She really needed to go to the bathroom and this woman was stopping her for some reason. It didn’t make sense. “Please the bathroom is open just let me go alone.”

“I can take you or you can go back to your seat,” the woman said. “Come on, Lexi. Don’t be difficult.”

“H-how did you....” Alexa looked at the woman closer. “No... no please... just let me go to the bathroom. Leave me alone.”

“Aw, Lexi. Is that any way to talk to me?” The woman said. “Remember what you’re supposed to call me? Or am I going to have to teach you a lesson?”

Alexa whimpered as she stared at her former and current bully, Claire Jones. “Please,” Alexa pleaded. “M-miss Claire, please. Just let me go.”

“Can’t do that, Lexi. Also I hope you don’t have to go potty... those diuretics work quickly through little girls like you... and if you piddle your pants, well... it’s not like you have anywhere to escape. I’d act quickly, Lexi. So what will it be? Let me take you to the potty and show me what’s in your bag, go back to your seat? Or will you make an embarrassment of yourself right here? Tick tock, Lexi. Decide now.”
