Cain loaded his black leather bags onto the space shuttle “Colorado”. He looked up at the high towering shuttle. It gleamed as the sun reflected off of it. He was selected to go into a space mission to test a new school up there. There was already one year of students there and he’s been selected to be the second year. Since no one he knew was coming with him he’d have to make new friends.
He sighed as he watched his parents go down the shuttle elevator. He wished he had someone to accompany him. They looked nervous, but they were happy that he qualified for an event like this. The door of the shuttle opened behind him. He turned around to see a man with a bright orange jumpsuit step out. He was holding a clipboard in his hand and a pen in the other. “And your name is?” he asked scanning Cain. “Cain Shepard,” he replied. He watched as the man flipped through the papers. “Awe… Here you are, welcome Mr. Shepard,” he said holding his gloved hand out past the door. He looked past his hand. The tunnel was covered in wiring and metal tubing. “You coming?” he asked.
Cain looked up at him. He forgot that he needed to enter the shuttle. “Oh yeah… sorry,” He hesitated, but walked past him and into the tunnel. A small fan buzzed above his head. As he stepped past it the room got alot colder. When he breathed a white mist floated infront of his face then dissapeared. He rounded a corner where the other students were sitting. There were a few 2nd years walking about helping the first years, like himself, get situated for the ride.
