Leviathan School of Aeronautics Chapter 1
"DERYN, WAKE UP OR YOU'LL MISS YOUR FLIGHT", yelled Jaspert. I jolted awake, staring at the clock on my bedside table. 9:30, it read. Crap! My flight leaves at 11:00. I bolted out of bed pulled on a pair of blue jeans, a plain white t-shirt, and a hoodie which read Leviathan School of Aeronautics, which is the reason why I'm flying to England. London to be exact. to attend the most prestigious flight school in all of Europe.
LSA is an all-boys flight school which produces the best pilots, yet this is also a problem seeing as I, Deryn Sharp, am a girl. Yet when I touch down in London I'll be Dylan Sharp cousin of Jaspert Sharp not his sister. I ran into the bathroom and rifled through the medicine cabinet and found what I was looking for, ace bandages. These were to bind my chest so that no one at the school would find out my secret by sight. I stuffed them into my already brimming suit case and ran down the stairs taking the steps two at a time and jumping down the last 4 onto the first floor landing. I ran into the kitchen dragging my suitcase behind me. Jaspert prepared a bowl of cereal and slid it my way; I dug in and scarfed it down quickly.
"Jeeze by the way you eat you'd think you were a guy already" he said chuckling
"Get stuffed, bum-rag!" I retorted quickly through a mouthful of food.
"The manners and mouth of one for sure" he trailed off. I rolled my eyes at him and picked up my bag and jogged to the car where my mom was waiting to drive me to Glasgow international airport. I threw my bag into the open trunk of the car and jumped into the front seat, I spared a glance at the clock in the car it read 10:13. I'm really going to miss my flight now; ugh we better not hit any red lights. The ride over was relatively fast, we hit 3 red lights and I cursed them all. We reached the airport around 10:36. I jogged through the front doors of the airport and into the security check. As I was going through my eyes kept darting to my watch and the minutes slowly ticking away, then the watch is off, going through the metal detector. I was through I picked up my suitcase and loaded my laptop back into it pulled my shoes on and started running again. I secured my watch back on my arm and it read 10:54. Barking spiders this is going to be close. I bolted through the crowds trying to make it to my gate when I heard over the loudspeakers
"Final boarding call for the 11:00 flight to London" I saw the gate and the doors about to close and I sprinted a time that the Olympics would be proud of and slammed my boarding pass onto the desk breathing hard I said
"I'm here; please tell me I can still get on"
"Calm down young man tell me your name and I'll see if I have a seat still open for you" the lady at the desk replied
"Der…Er Dylan Sharp"
"Well Dylan your lucky we have a couple available seats left, you'll be on your way shortly"
I marched down the ramp towards the plane doors; I stepped onto the plane and took an open window seat near the front. There was a beep as the stewardess came on the line and started to ramble through the safety guidelines and she finished with saying "Thank you for choosing to fly air Huxley and enjoy your flight."
