Zachary never really liked riding in airships. Something about them just didn't feel safe, be it the fact that you're flying hundreds if not thousands of feet in the air, or just the fact that he isn't a huge fan of heights. It felt weird to know that he'd be living outside of his home kingdom for the next few years, and yet it felt liberating knowing that he didn't have his parent's incredibly strict rules to follow. Not that he'd get into too much trouble here at beacon to begin with, hopefully.
He could hear a woman talking through the intercom system on the airship but didn't care to listen. He popped his earbuds into his ears to listen to some music, but could decide what I want to listen to, Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave, or Soundgarden. Finally picking Cochise by Audioslave. As he leaned against the wall to rest a little bit before they land he spots a somewhat short, black and red haired girl across the ship standing next to a taller blonde girl.
He doesn't pay much mind to them and continues listening to music. He takes out an art notebook and start drawing. While not an incredible artist but he was a decent graffiti artist. Yes, some people don't believe that graffiti is a form of art, but for him it is.
He feels a slight tap on his shoulder and looks up, sitting next to him is a lanky blonde kid, he motions for Zach to remove the earbud in my ear. He does so reluctantly. "You're a really good artist," he tells him, "Name's Jaune by the way." He holds out his hand for a handshake, which Zach accepted. "Thanks man, Zachary Blackburn if you're wondering, but if you prefer you can just call me Zach," He tells him. "What are you listening to," Jaune asks after a slight and awkward silence."A band called Audioslave," Zach replies. "Bet you 50 bucks he doesn't know even know who they are," He thinks to himself. "Sweet, they're one of my favorite bands, what's your favorite song of theirs," Jaune asks me with a slight twinge of happiness, presumably because he found a shared interest in music with me. "I don't know that's a tough question," Zach replies, "If I had to choose one it would have to be 'Shape of things to come' or 'set it off', both are great songs," He answer his question after some slight contemplation. "What would yours be," He asks quickly. "Mine would have to be 'Show Me How To Live' or something," He replied after a slight pause to contemplate. They talked that way for a little while longer and got more acquainted, when he looked up and out the window he saw Beacon Academy. Finally we were going to land. He stood up and looked out the window, the view of the city from up above the buildings and streets was pretty cool, he wondered what it would be like at night. Looking at Jaune who also looking out the window, he suddenly started to look queasy. "Dude are you going to be alright," He asked him slightly worried about the sudden wave of motion sickness that had overtaken his new friend. All he could do is give him a thumbs up as he tried and failed to keep himself from barfing right there on the airship.
They finally landed at Beacon, and the instant they did Jaune booked it out of the airship and barfed into the garbage can outside. The girls Zach had noticed earlier flipping shit about how he had got vomit on their boots. He just walked past them and told Jaune he'd see him later. He just gave a thumbs up and kept on unleashing the torrent of vomit into the trash can. Zach couldn't help but feel bad for the janitor who would have to clean that up.
As he walked up to my new school and home a sense of happiness filled him. He had worked so hard to be accepted into this school, and made it.
