The Plane Trip

Our classroom was the 3rd one to be called up to go through the metal detector and get our luggage checked by security. I breathed in and slowly breathed out; just the thought of leaving the solid ground in a plane made me slightly queasy. Two lines down I heard BEEP BEEP BEEP, one of the alarms must have gone off. A few people including me covered our ears with our hands to block out the loud noise the machine made. There was no serious reason the detector went off, it was just a kid that was not with us trying to sneak his phone with him, I’m guessing his parents got mad at him and told him he lost his phone privileges or something around that topic.
