The Promise

Chapter 4- A Field Trip

It was early that morning. The sun wasn't even up yet, but children gathered at the busses at school.

"I wanna sit next to Violet!" Max shouted raising his hand.

"No way!" Maya said as she glared at Max.

"Why not?!" Max shouted.

"C'mon let's sit down." Violet said to Mia.

"I wanna sit next to her!" Maya said.

"Hurry it up! I hate crowds!" Izumi shouted at them.

"They're like a bunch of kids." Violet mumbled.

Violet sat down next to Mia and Max ended up next to Izumi behind Violet. Maya ended up sitting down in front of Violet with someone in her class.

"Your elbow is cutting into my ribs." Izumi growled.

"Then get your ribs out of my elbow." Max said angrily.

"I am going to strangle you!" Izumi shouted and grabbed Max's throat.

"Oi! Boys! It's too early for this." Coach Alexander said to them.

"Out of my face mut." Izumi whispered.

"Your breath stinks furball." Max replied.

"Is it really like this all the time?" Violet asked Mia. She nodded her head.

"Get some rest kids." Mrs. Ross said.

"That's mine." Max said.

"Don't care." Izumi said. They both grabbed the water bottle and started pulling. Mia turned around to them and shushed them as she pointed to Violet. She was sleeping soundly. They both got quiet and left each other alone for the trip. Everyone settled down and soon most people fell asleep.

The sun rose and hung in the sky brightly. Violet opened her eyes slowly as her eyes adjusted to the bright light. She turned to Mia who was listening to music. She turned around and saw the two asleep. She smiled and looked out of the window at the passing things.

"Get your hand out of my face." Izumi groaned.

"Huh, yeah." Max groaned back. Izumi opened his eyes. He was feeling sick and hated road trips. He felt dizzy and nauseous. He covered his mouth but it was too late and threw up on Max's lap. Max jumped up, terrified, and shouts were heard around them.

"Stop the bus!" Coach Alexander shouted. After a long while, Max changed into his extra pants behind some trees. He entered the bus with three bags tied around each other with the pants in them.

"You imbecile! There's a window right next to you!" Max shouted at Izumi.

"Alright, that's it. I don't even know who decided to put the two Carows together. Mia, switch with Izumi." Coach Alexander said. The bus soon started driving again. Chatters went around the bus.

"Here, this might help. It will knock you out though." Violet said handing Izumi a water bottle and pill. He didn't even think about it and quickly swallowed it and laid back.

"I hate cars, and busses, and rain and people and cat food and Max and..." he mumbled. As he mumbled his eyes shut and his head dropped.

They all arrived soon enough at the campsite and were split up. Boys were at an apart house site from the girls. Each room could take five people and so groups of five were made. They all settled in before they had to go for lunch.

"How did I end up with you again?" Izumi groaned as he laid on the top bunk bed.

"Like you had anyone else to go with." Max said unpacking his things.
