Chapter 1

"GORDON!!!!!!!!"
Gordon woke to the screaming of his mother at his door
"eeeeeeeeeerrrrrmmmmmmmm" moaned Gordon
"time to get up for school!" says Gordon's mum
"just another boring school day" Gordon said to himself
after a few minutes Gordon got out of bed and got dressed, he was late for school so he had no time to eat his breakfast and brush his teeth. When Gordon got to school his friends were standing around talking to each other, they greeted Gordon as he opened his locker and grabbed his stuff then moved off to home group still half asleep, after home group Gordon went to first period which was Modern History, Gordon didn't mind the subject but he found it very boring at times and being half asleep didn't help him at all, The History teacher began the lesson with a boring speech on the downfall of the feudal system. Gordon could barely think, his eyes were heavy and eventually closed, his head resting on his pencil case, Gordon began dreaming of himself drifting through white clouds after a few minutes the drifting turned into a sonic boom, suddenly! Gordon woke up to his teacher yelling at him to wake up, at recess Gordon was running around with his friends trying to see who could run faster, while running on a very rocky footpath Gordon noticed the girl he liked watching him, her brown hair and cute smile distracting him just long enough to lose his footing and trip over but just before his face hit the ground he hovered for a few brief moments then he fell, when he got up the blonde girl was still looking at him but with a shocked look on her face.

Chapter 2

After the events of yesterday Gordon was even more nervous than usual as he approached the brunette girl to ask her what she saw.
“hehmm hey Charlie”
“hehe hey”
“how have you been?”
“good, how about you?”
“yeah not too bad, umm about yesterday when I tripped, did you see anything extraordinary?”
“like what?” Charlie said with a suspicious smile
“like… I dunno me hovering for a second before hit the ground?”
“No!” she said with a giggle
“oh ok then well I better go and leave you to it then”
“ok cya”
Gordon waved goodbye then walked off, he felt even more nervous now that he knew she saw him hover, Gordon then had a flashback to his dream during history and wondered if the two events were connected somehow, he decided to test himself by starting small, a chair was the perfect Gordon stood on the chair and leaned forward, he hit the ground with a thud!
“owww that didn’t go to well, but that was just one try”
Gordon got back up and fell down half a dozen more times, on his eight go he took a deep breath and decided to concentrate on Charlie, he fell forward and didn’t hit the ground, he opened his eyes to find that he was indeed hovering, Gordon smiled and thought about moving forward, at first he didn’t move then slowly he began moving forward, he concentrated harder and flew across the room and crashed into a wall…Hard!!, he sat on the ground holding onto his head he could feel a lump beginning to get bigger.
“next time I’m trying this outside” he said with a groan

Chapter 3

Gordon opened his eyes to see the tops of trees blowing in the wind, he then looked down to the concrete below him he was at least 30 feet from the ground, if he didn’t succeed he would surely be in some trouble, he took a deep breath and fell forward concentrating on Charlie, Gordon could hear the wind blowing past him but it wasn’t blowing in his face, he was moving forward, he opened his eyes just in time to avoid the tree he was about to crash into, Gordon smirked then flew upwards the furthest he had ever flown was just below the clouds today he hoped he would make it further, to Gordon’s surprise he did pass the clouds he couldn’t believe that after all his wishing as a boy to have a power that he would actually have one, the power to fly.

“but how can I help people with this ability?”

Gordon asked himself, Gordon looked at his watch and realised he was late for class but it took him forever to get up this high he thought to himself,

“How am I going to get down in time to avoid getting detention for being so late”

Gordon flashed back to when he first learnt how to control his power in the classroom he also remembered the large lump he got on his head from crashing into the wall,

“that’s it!” he shouted

Gordon focused on moving forward the same way he did in the classroom and like in the classroom he shot down at an incredible speed, the ground got closer and closer but Gordon wasn’t scared he mastered landing and he softly landed on the ground, Gordon smiled and ran to class.




Chapter 4

Gordon was sitting in detention because his science teacher had giving him one for being late.

"it's not my fault I was late I flew as fast as I could to get here on time, I'm only in here because I was a few minutes late, but at least Charlie is in here too" Gordon whispered to himself

Gordon looked up at the roof at sighed he then heard a tumbling sound on the desk he was sitting at he looked down at the desk to see a crushed up note, Gordon turned his head to Charlie she smiled then gave Gordon a wave, Gordon opened the note.

'Hey Gordon, how are you? how was your flying lesson? ;p'
Gordon smirked then wrote back
'Hey Charlie, I'm good, how have you been? and what are you talking about what flying lessons?'
Gordon threw the note to Charlie, Charlie read the note and giggled then wrote a reply and sent the not back
'hehe you know the flying lessons without any wings?'
Gordon got a cold shiver down his spine, Charlie knew about his ability but what could Gordon do?, he replied
'please don't tell anyone, I haven't mastered it all yet, please don't think I'm a freak!' Gordon passed the note
Charlie frowned as she read the note and like before she replied
'I would never do that, and I don't think your a freak I like flying'

Over the next half an hour Gordon found out that Charlie's father was a Pilot and she goes on trips with him all the time, Gordon also found out that Charlie was going on a trip to England for a few weeks and that she too loved comic books.

Gordon walked out of detention with Charlie and a Huge smile on his face, over the next few days Gordon and Charlie had become very close and the day before Charlie was going to England he built up the courage to ask her out and she happily agreed, Gordon saw Charlie off at the Airport before She boarded the plane she gave Gordon a gentle kiss on the lips and whispered "I love you" into his ear, Gordon kissed Charlie back and looked into her eyes and told her he loved her too, the final boarding call was said and Gordon watched Charlie board the plane his heart pounded as the plane took off his ran outside the airport and pushed off the ground and flew up to the plane Charlie was on, he searched every window until he got to hers, he tapped on the glass and Charlie turned to she her boyfriend flying next to her, she smiled at Gordon and Gordon smiled back.

Gordon flew with the plane for another hour and thought that he should turn back, he smiled at his beautiful girlfriend, yelled "I love you", Charlie blew him a kiss and signalled for Gordon to look in his back pocket, she waved good-bye for what would be the last time. Gordon let the plane get ahead of him, he reached into his back pocket to find a letter that Charlie must have snuck in while they hugged good-bye, Gordon read the note

"to my love,
I know we have only been together for a day but it feels like we have been together forever, I can't even begin to tell you how you make me feel.
getting to know you has been the best thing in my whole life and now that you trust me with your secret, just means so much me, you have a great power Gordon, a power I can only dream of having.
Good-bye Gordon I love you! xoxox, never forget that you will always have a place in my heart.
Gordon's eyes began to water and he smiled, Gordon put the note back into his pocket and started to fly home, he couldn't stop thinking about Charlie and how she made him feel, suddenly Gordon started to gain speed then BOOM! he shot off at an incredible speed causing a sonic boom behind him.

Gordon got home and walked inside, his mum walked up to him with tears flowing from her eyes

"mum?, what’s wrong?" Gordon said nervously
"it's...it's Charlie, her Plane crashed there were no survivors, I'm so sorry Gordon!"
"NO!!!" Gordon fell to his knees and started to cry
"I'm so sorry Gordon" Gordon's mum said putting her hand on Gordon's shoulder.
Gordon pushed his mother away and ran outside, he kept running until he got to the end of his street, Gordon again fell to his knees and reacted for Charlie's note, he read it again then flew upwards.

With tears running down his face Gordon whispered
"From now on everything I do is for you.....Charlie"
Gordon then Booms away.

The End
