How to be a School of Dragons student.

Prologe: The Berkian girl

Before you start to read my story I'd like to focus on the fact that I'm French, so if I made mistakes on grammar or something else please excuse me.
I hope you'll enjoy ;P

The main character's POV:

I was standing there, on the docs of my village. The backpack on the floor between my legs, waiting for a special boat to arrive. I couldn't stay calm.
Today, is an important day for me: this is my 20th birthday! But to be honest, that's not the most important thing. Because, today, for the first day of my life I'm gonna to quit Berk to join the School of Dragons!
I look around me, I wasn't the only one who expecting the boat. There were one girl and one boy just behind me. Both were sit on their backpack on the floor. I looked at the boy, and I saw in his eyes he was sad. Maybe he don't want to quit Berk? However, I looked at the girl and I saw she was lost in her mind.
Before we quit the island, I've decided to verify my backpack, to make sure I didn't forget a thing. So I open it: there is my other clothes (in case I make the ones that I'm wearing dirty), my hair brush, my toothbrush, a piece of leather just in case of need, my notebook, my charcoal pencil and my dragon plush. I know that I'm 20 but I couldn't leave without it. Then, I realized that I missed something important on my checklist: my compass. I can't leave without it because it's always useful and even if I brought it 6 or 7 gems, I really like that compass. While I was looking for it in my backpack, I started to freak out: no compass in the backpack. Where did it go? I touched my pockets on my skirt and feel a little bump on my right pocket: it was my compass.
Now that I made sure that I didn't forget anything. 
The 3 of us were ready to take the boat to School of dragons, so we just wait for it quietly to arrive at the island of Berk.

Less than 20 minutes later, I hear "there is the boat! The boat is coming!"
So I rise my head and see the dragon head as the boat prow coming towards us. I decided to get up on my feet and put my pack on my back.
With a huge smile I look at the boat coming to the docks slowly.
