Here's Chapter 4! Hope you enjoy.
Chapter 4
As I entered the airport with mom and dad, we were directed by an air attendant, and went through security—which was fairly easy with technology these days. As we finished going through security, I noticed a McDonald's and decided I was hungry then, because I haven't eaten since this morning. "Hey, I'm sorta hungry," I said aloud.
My father followed suit. "I'm hungry too."
My mother grunted and said, "Children these days…" My father and I pigged out until an hour and a half until I had to leave, and my mother stared at us in disgust. "How could you eat that garbage?" she asked.
"Easily" I answered. My father laughed at my answer.
When we got to the gate, we all sat and waited until the plane was here, and chatted. Before I knew it, the plane was already here. "Okay, son. Have fun at your new school, and make lots of new friends. When they call first class seating, that means you," my father stated.
My mom walked up to me, sniffling and fighting back tears. "I'll miss you, honey. Call me when you land in Paris."
I responded, now trying to fight back tears. "I love you, mom and dad. I'll call every day, I promise."
The flight attendant announced, "First class boarding…"
"That's you, Blaze. Tell Ulrich to try his hardest, and help him out, and watch his back for me, please?" my dad asked. I nodded.
I walk over to the supposed queue of first class riders to Paris. The flight attendant takes my ticket. "Flying alone, sir?"
I look back at my parents. My mother waves to me. I answer the attendant, "Yes, ma'am."
She then tells me, "Okay, you're good. Go ahead."
I wave to my parents, saying goodbye. I start thinking to myself, I hope the plane ride won't suck ass. As I start to near the plane through the boarding tunnel, I realize the tunnel is slightly long. Maybe the plane is huge.
As I come to the entrance of the plane, a man is at the end of the hall. As I approach him, he says, "Bonjour, monsieur. Allez-vous voler avec nous aujourd'hui?" (Hello, sir. Will you be flying with us today?)
He was speaking French, so I quickly responded, "Oui, monsieur, je vais voler avec vous aujourd'hui. Parlez vous anglais?" (Yes, sir, I'll be flying with you today. Do you speak English?)
"Why, most certainly, sir," the attendant says with a thick French accent. "Ahhh! First class, follow me to your seat." I followed him up a flight of stairs and I'm instantly overwhelmed with how much space there is and how big the seats are. I continue to follow the Frenchmen to my seat. "Here we are, please excusez-moi. I must direct more people to their seats, but please walk around the top deck if you like. A beverage tender will be at the bar in the back room soon."
I politely say "Merci, monsieur." (Thank you, sir.)
He quickly responds, saying, "How you say, anytime, bro."
I chuckled silently as he walked away. Hopefully he didn't hear me chuckle. I'll take him up on his offer though and roam about, I thought.
I looked around and out the windows, and noticed a little light on the overhead panel. Hmm, this light normally represents wi-fi.
My thoughts were interrupted as a person over the intercom says "Bonjour, c'est votre commandant de bord. Nous allons décoller dans environ une heure. Nous avons pour dégivrer l'avion. N'hésitez pas à utiliser vos périphériques Wifi à cette époque, et je vous remercie pour le vol France air." It was pretty much saying the plane needs to be de-iced, wifi devices are usable, and will be leaving in about an hour.
So my accusation was true. I can use my laptop on the plane. Hopefully I get to use it while in the air. I hate that about airplanes, I thought to myself. Hmmm, I'll Mybook Ulrich to tell him I'm coming to Kadic to learn there from now on. I didn't get a reply back, so I decided to play my MMORPG while I waited.
A bell came over the intercom while I was playing my game. It was the Frenchman. He started talking in his native tongue again. "Bonjour, prospectus, nous laissant peu de temps. S'il vous plaît mettez vos tables en position haute, à droite et depuis ce plan est si hautement technologique, je ne vais pas besoin de lire les mesures de sécurité, mais n'hésitez pas à les lire. Or if you are American, I'll give you a brief summary. We will be leaving soon. Put your tables up. This plane is very safe, so safe, I won't need to read this thing at all. But by all means, read it if you want. Thank you."
Then there was a rumble and the plane started backing up. There was a loud bell and it looked like buckles, so I grabbed mine and clicked them together, and put my laptop away. In a few minutes, I'll be taking off to my new school, I thought.
Hope you liked it! Chapter 5 will be up shortly. Please review!
