My fancy wall by Zuhayr Syed https://padlet.com/s300045801/uvc2hwgfp9nr Made with wonder en-us 2019-12-27 20:49:40 UTC 2019-12-27 20:58:35 UTC hello@padlet.com It was 9.00 am. Today was a day I and my friends were looking forward to. It was the day of the big play in the Bahamas. I was shaking with excitement but I was also nervous. I got out of bed and Immediately called Murray and John (my play partners) to remind them to meet me at Wyndale park. They both agreed and before I knew it I was three hours away from boarding a plane to the Bahamas. I drove to Wyndale park and right away, saw Murray and John anxiously waiting for me. I got out of my car and walked to the bench, We all greeted each other, sat down then discussed what seat we were going to get. Murray suggested, “I wanted the middle seat because I am the smallest.” I and John agreed. John added, “I should have the seat nearest to the hallway because I move the most.” I said,” okay it seems fine to me”! We headed in John’s car (because he had the nicest one) and drove to the airport.* It was the longest 20 minutes of my life! Murray was being annoying and kept on saying that he was “hungry and needed food”. John was yelling “Murray shut up”, over and over again. Then there was me, waiting for someone to say something nice or even to do something fun and not annoying. I got tired of Murray and John arguing so, I put on some tunes. Before I could even start a song, we arrived. I got annoyed knowing that I could’ve listened to music at the start of the car ride and not have to listen to arguing every second. We unpacked our suitcases and headed for gate B. Pearson airport was usually busy but, today it felt much calmer. We all headed to the American Airlines baggage and ticket area. Murray finished first John was second and I was third. After that, we went to the security area. Murray started to whisper, “ will I get caught”? I replied in an awkward tone “ why would you get caught”? Murray chuckled, “because I have a gun”! I yelled at him telling him, “he was crazy and stupid for bringing a gun to an airport”! John added on, “ relax Kyler, he’s 18 isn’t that the age you are allowed to have a gun”? Murray then proceeded,” I thought the age to have a nerf gun was 8 and up”! I was still angry but, relieved that he didn’t have a real gun. I headed through security first so I didn’t have to deal with the embarrassment of your 18-year old friend having a nerf gun. I was dying to ask why Murray brought a nerf gun. However, I knew he would’ve said his “signature catchline”, “Forget about it”! Murray came out of security looking like a weirdo. The security asked Murray, “ why are you laughing”. Murray replied, “forget about it”. At that point, I zoomed to the nearest Tim Hortons to get myself a cup of coffee. It worked! I finally felt relaxed and calm. Murray and John caught up to me and told me to “get to the boarding lobby”. I took my coffee and followed Murray and John to the boarding lobby. There were 10 minutes untill the boarding commenced. I waited patiently for the boarding to begin. Surprisingly, John was pretty quiet! Unsurprisingly, Murray wasn’t. I ignored him and listened to some tunes on my phone. Finally, after four Michael Jackson songs, it was time to board the plane. we grabbed our tickets and headed to the line. We boarded the plane! Murray and John were excited and hopping around like a bunch of 5-year olds. I couldn’t hold it back, so I joined them and hopped in my seat. After all, I was waiting for this for 6-months. We all started to discuss what we were first going to do when we got there. Murray said, “he wanted to swim in the hotel pool”. For once I actually agreed with Murray. John proclaimed that “we shouldn’t worry about what we were going to do there”. Murray and I looked confused. I curiously asked John, “why shouldn’t we worry about it if we are going to arrive there soon”? He looked at me and said,” look outside, it’s dark, windy and raining. This plane is 20 years old and one engine is loose. I am scared we might have to do an emergency landing or even crash”! I looked and Murray and John and replied in a soft voice,” John, you might be right”. My soft voice was abruptly interrupted by the loud overhead pilot’s voice. He did mention that “it wasn’t the best weather to fly a plane but, assured us everything was in good hands”. Before I could say something to John the Plane took off. Chapter 2 Long rides have never been an issue for me. However, this flight was off to a horrible start! The food here was gross, the drinks tasted a year-old and the legroom was terrible. I and my friends are all 5’8 yet, we felt like the plane was very crammed. Murray was disappointed and so was I. I really looked forward to the flight. After all, it was my first time out of the country.
