This is my first ever story as I am new to writing. I hope you like the first chapter of my story. Well, Enjoy reading.
"Ladies and gentlemen. We are about to begin our decent into Los Angeles. Los Angeles wheather is pefectly clear, about 70 degrees. We expect to make our 4 hour and 18 minute flight on schedule. We have enjoyed having you on board and look forward to seeing you again in the near future" the pilot says as the plane lands in the terminal.
After the plane lands, Rancis gets out of the airplane. He steps into a tunnel connecting into the airport. Once in the airport, he steps onto a moving floor taking him to the bagging station to get his briefcase. While moving he begins to think nervously as he worries about his upcoming college graduation party at his parent's house.
He reaches the bagging station and waits for his briefcase that is marked with a red tag. The briefcase comes out of the corner moving down in the direction where Rancis is. He grabs the briefcase and heads to the exit of the airport.
He get's out of the airport looking for a taxi. "Hey taxi" Rancis says as he waves his hand. The taxi stops as he get's in. "Where do you want to go" the taxi driver said. "To the rich side of the suburban area in Los Angeles please" Rancis said nicely. "You got it sir" the driver said as he drove away from the airport. Rancis kept on thinking as he was still being nervous.
"Oh this graduation party is going to be quite a drag for me" Rancis said while trembling.
After 30 minutes, the taxi get's to his neighborhood. "Thank you sir" Rancis says as he pays the taxi fare and steps out with his briefcase. He then starts walking to his home.
As soon as he got to his home, he notices lots of people's cars parked in the driveway, and in the parking spaces. Then he see's his mother. "Rancis my darling son" she says as she walks over to him and hugs him. "Come in come, there are lot's of friends and family to see you for your graduation party" his mother says as he steps into the house nervously.
Rancis get's into his home as he see's his mother and father's friends and family. Rancis then runs up to the room nervously as he shut's the door. He then sit's behind a fish tank that contain fish as he looks around the room while not saying anything. Then his father comes in.
"Hey. What's the matter" his father says. "The guest are all downstairs Rancis. They're waiting to see you" his father said while smiling. "Dad we explained it. I have to be alone for a while" Rancis said. "These are all our good friends and family Rancis. Most of them knew you since you were born. What's troubling you Rancis" his father says nicely.
"I'm just worried about my future. That's all".
"Well son what about it".
"I don't know. I just wanted to be different".
Rancis then hear's footsteps approaching the room. His mother steps into the room and notices him and his father sitting together.
"Is anything wrong" his mother says. "No, no, we're just on our way downstairs" his father says. "Well you better get downstairs the Hamilton's are here" his mother says. "Well let's not keep them waiting. Come on son, you have people to see" his father says. Rancis places his suit over his long white sleeve vest as he starts walking downstairs into the livingroom.
"Hey it's the award winning scholar, and the track star" someone says. "Rancis Congratulations " a woman says. "Rancis we are so proud of you. Proud, proud, proud, proud of you" another woman says. "Is that Rancis's car right outside" a man says.
"That's Rancis's graduation present" his father says. Then another man steps in front of Rancis. "Rancis" the man says. "Mr. Williams". "Can I have a moment with you" he says. "Sure Mr. Williams" Rancis said as he follows him to the back yard.
"Rancis I just have one thing to say to you. And it's good advice" Mr. Williams says. "What would that be sir" Rancis says. "Lawyers. There is a good future in law. Will you take that advice" Mr. Williams said. "Yes I will" Rancis says. "Enough said" Mr. Williams says while walking away from Rancis. Then he see's more people approaching him.
Rancis then runs into the house as his mother is beginning to announce the accomplishments that Rancis did in his college year book. "Now I want you all to be quiet. This is Rancis's college year book. "He was captain of the cross country team. Head of student government. Editor of the college newspaper in his junior year. And manager of the editor in his senior".
Rancis shut's the door while breathing hard. Then he walks over to the fish tank and see's the fish moving while breathing hard. He looks at the fish while breathing and he hears the door open at a fast pace. It was Mrs. Schweetz, the wife of his father's law partner. And a family friend to Rancis's family.
"Oh. I guess this isn't the bathroom is it" Mrs. Schweetz said.
"It's a down the hall" Rancis said.
"How are you Rancis".
"Oh fine. Thank you Mrs. Schweetz, the bathroom's down at the end of the hall" Rancis said as he notices that she's putting a cigarette in her mouth. "Such a pleasent room" she says while lighting the cigarette. "Look I uh. Mrs. Schweetz, I don't mean to be rude but can you".
"Is there an ash tray in here" she says.
"No" Rancis says.
"Oh I forgot the track star doesn't smoke" Mrs. Schweetz said as she was smoking. Rancis just kept being quiet as he was thinking.
"Is it a girl".
"Is what a girl" Rancis said. "Whatever it is that's upsetting you". "Oh no I'm just uh, sort of disturbed about things" Rancis said.
"In general" Mrs. Schweetz said.
"That's right" Rancis said as Mrs. Schweetz threw her cigarette in the empty trash can. "Well. Congratulations" she says while walking out the door. "Thank you" Rancis said as he lifts the trashcan and shreds the cigarette.
"Oh Rancis. I want to ask you something" Mrs. Schweetz said while walking in the room again. "What is it" Rancis said as he laid the trashcan on the floor.
"Will you take home. My husband took the car will you drive me home" Mrs. Schweetz says as she places her black coat on. Rancis then hands her the keys. "Here you take it. Do you know how to work a foriegn shift" Rancis said as Mrs. Schweetz kept looking at him. "You don't".
"No" Mrs. Schweetz chuckled.
"Let's go" Rancis says as Mrs. Schweetz threw the keys in the fish tank.
Rancis then reaches for the keys not minding the fish. Then he and Mrs. Schweetz went to his new car.
