(Sue POV)
My name is Sue Spark and I'm an air stewardess or a flight attendant or whatever you want to call it. But definitely not a trolley dolly.
I have been doing this job for 3 years and for what. To have the captain shout at me constantly on every flight, have passengers vomit all over you and through their litter down the walkway. Don't get me wrong I love my job but sometimes I feel like I don't get credit and praise where it's due.
My dad hates the fact that I'm not working in education like the rest of the family. Mum was a teacher and dad is head of the LEA. And my sister well I might as well be an only child. I haven't seen her for 10 whole years. She stormed off to Germany after she came out as gay.
Dads got all these huge plans for me. Marriage, kids, but first I sense a chance in career. No long Sue Spark the Air Stewardess but Sue Spark the Science Teacher. I'd much prefer to keep the job I already have but I know that following in the family footsteps would please Dad and Mum would be proud. And what could possibly go wrong.
(Simon POV)
My name is Simon Lowsley and I'm an English teacher at City-Town Community School. I've been a teacher for quite a while now but I want a new challenge. I would love to be deputy head I feel it is the perfect job for me but I am always overlooked because I am apparently arrogant. Arrogant. Me. Never. I'm not too popular with some of my colleagues either; I get on with most of them just fine but the odd few I seem to clash with. I've heard rumours that the school is looking to employ a new deputy. This job can only be mine I'm not letting this opportunity slip away again. It's now or never.
(Sue POV)
So here we are my last day as an Air Stewardess. I've been working really hard to qualify as a teacher so let's hope it all pays off. I managed to get a job at a school called City-Town Community School. Sounds a bit run down and lower than the private school I went to but I suppose you have to start somewhere.
(Simon POV)
So it's the end of the Easter holidays and I'm just boarding my plane back from Spain to England. First class of course. For this flight my only goal is to make sure I am on top of this deputy post on offer as my interview is in few days. Everyone laughed when I said I wanted to apply for the post again because I have applied for it 3 times before, purely because most people drop out of the Deputy Job after a few months due to the extensive amount of work. They will be the ones laughing when I get this job because I will get it.
(Sue POV)
I've been put on First class on a flight back from Spain. This seems ok for my last shift. I don't think anyone's sad to see me go and who would be after all I'm just the stupid red head that will never do anything in her life. All the passengers in First class are as snobby as usually. Except one his names Simon he seems really nice and we have briefly spoken to each other and we get on so well.
This stewardess called Sue is very nice but different from your usually Stewardess. We briefly spoke and she told me how it was her last day and she was soon to become a teacher. She's so lovely I think I've fallen for her but I'm never going to see her again as we probably live a million miles apart.
