I sat, impatiently, through the airship ride to Beacon. I had no idea why we needed to take an airship to the school when there was an obvious road and I was pretty sure most cars would be faster than this stupid floating image of the word slow. How did it even stay up? At least there was a T.V to watch to stave off the boredom, because like an idiot, I forgot any weapons magazines, or even my Schnee brand Fun Games handheld game system. Fortunately, the cartoon adaption of the popular comic X-Ray and Vav was on. I was really getting into the episode when it was interrupted by some urgent news report. Lame. I got up, to walk around and stop my legs from cramping up. I also did it to avoid eavesdropping on the same boring conversation about some girl's ex-boyfriend anymore. I learned plenty about Drerius Mobide* though, such as how he puts on a show of bravado, but he was really self conscious about almost everything about him. It was entertaining enough for a while, but I grew bored quickly. So, I looked around, and saw an approachable looking guy (that is the nice way of saying not very attractive or popular) and walked up to him. "Hey. Name's Gwyn Ulfr. you?"
"Uh, Lloyd Gray." He said, confused at why I approached him "What's up?"
"I think I may literally die of boredom if I don't do something. So I decided 'I will talk to that guy over there.' Cool story, i know"
Lloyd turned out to be a pretty cool guy, once he got over the fact of how weird I seemed to be. We quickly advanced to becoming friends. He even started to talk about way cooler things than the regular small talk.
"All I'm saying is that the ultimate sandwich would be, like, five feet tall, and three feet wide!" He defended his point, on what the best sandwich would be.
"Lloyd, I ain't disagreeing with you, I'm just saying that it doesn't need a whole bucket of ranch on the side!" We debated about the sandwich for a couple minutes, until the slowest airship in the world arrived at the school. We walked out, complaining together about how dumb the stupid slow airship was. I've always found that the best friends often bond over mutual hatred, not common interests.
To be honest, the amount of stuff already going on in the courtyard of the massive school was impressive. Near one of the other airships, there was a guy angrily talking to a girl who basically wore the same outfit as him. More toward the school, the was a girl who looked way too young to be at Beacon was fangirling over other student's weapons.
Lloyd and I started talking about weapons as we walked towards the front building of the school, and were almost there, when we heard a massive blast behind us. "Holy crap" we both laughed as we saw what looked to be a huge explosion of dust in the centre. Lloyd and i turned back to the school and entered.
