The Antics of 8A

Part 3 - Lame

short but oh well

The class slowly filed into the plane, looking around to find their seats.

"Hey William, can I switch seats with you so I can sit next to Sienna and you can sit next to Alex?" asked Rachel.

"Sure," said William in an unenthusiastic voice and moved off towards his new seat.

"Thomas, move! Oh my God!" Anne shoved Thomas who was deliberately holding up the line. Everyone was beginning to jam up behind him as he giggled to himself.

"Twelvie, move!" yelled Angus with a massive push, which broke the jam.

Each person found their seat, lifting their carry luggage into the bag compartments above the seats, grabbing the important things they may need on the seventeen hour flight.

"Oh my God, look how cool this is," says Anne, pulling out a miniature remote out from the side of the arm rest.

"Bet ya I'm gonna sleep half of this flight," Zac says as he pulls out the foot rest, nestling back in his seat comfortably.

"I'm not, they have all three High School Musicals'," informs Georgia, who's playing around with the TV set in front of her.

"We have to watch them together," Claire tells her.

"That's romantic," Georgia replies, jokingly grabbing her hand and laughing.

"And we can coconut ice cream, with a pomegranate topping," adds Claire who had dug out the menu from the magazine pocket attached to the back of the chair in front of her.

"Sounds interesting," says Ngoc Han, also observing the planes' menu.

"Sounds disgusting," grimaced Lucette who was now flicking through the menu as well. "If this is how all the meals are going to be in Brazil, I'm going to starve to death."

"Or maybe you will find your most favourite foods in the world there and come back looking like an inflated balloon," Johanna looked knowingly at he friend, understanding that many of the dishes on the menu weren't to her liking.

"Like Brigadeiros," suggested Hannah.

"What the hell is that?" questioned Lucette.

As the girls discussed the new topic that was Brigadeiros, the boys were chatting about Brazil.

"And you can teach me how to surf," said Zac to Finn, who were sitting next to each other.

"You'll have the whole surfer dude look with your long hair," Finn told him.

"That ought to get all the Brazilian girls," said Stephen who was sitting in front of the pair.

"And Claire," added Benson from behind, not bothering to look over the seats at them.

They all laughed at that while Zac turned a light shade of red. Zaire was the latest ship for 8A, and everyone, including Zac, was all for it. However, Claire still denied any attraction she had towards Zac at all.

At that moment, a flight attendant walked down the isle. She wore the soft orange and black Quantas uniform that consisted of a pencil skirt and a blazer over top with black high-heeled shoes. She had mid-length brown hair and a big smile on her face. Her name tag read 'Lily'. She moved to the front of the section of seats so the whole class could see her.

"Good afternoon and welcome on board Quantas airlines, my names Lily Lockley," she began. She started to talk about the emergency procedure and then followed with the meals.

"Dinner shall be served at 6:30pm and breakfast at 7am Australian time. We will come around and take your orders for both meals half an hour after the plane takes off."

Lily continued, talking about where the toilets were located and explained what buttons were on the TV remote so that the group were familiar with everything around them.

"Head phones will be handed around soon as well. Any questions?"

Alex put his hand up as if we were in class. "What time will we arrive in Brazil?"

"Good question. It will be 5:30pm Brazilian time today when we get there. In Australian time, that's 8am tomorrow."

"Oh, ok. Thank you," said Alex in return, looking slightly confused.

Lily ended the talk with, "no thank you for flying with Quantas. Have a pleasant flight." She walked off into the section passed the toilets where the passengers had no access to.

"She is hot," said Angus to the others after she left.

"She is also double your age," countered Claire, not looking up at him as she checked her phone.
