The Exhibit

The Day of the Trip

Kendra 🌙
Today, my class was going on a field trip to the museum.

I wasn't exactly thrilled, but it was better than sitting in class.

I got dressed in a black cropped turtleneck with a black and pink plaid skirt.

I put on a black headband to pull my shoulder length brown, purple streaked hair back and threw on my favorite black boots.

I grabbed my bag and went downstairs.

"Now," my mom started.

"I know that there aren't enough chaperones on this trip, but I trust that you'll make smart decisions Kendra?"

"Yes mom. When have I ever been in trouble?"

"All the time in middle school!"

I wish my mom would give me a break. Those teachers had it out for me, I swear.

But, this year is different.

"That wasn't my fault!" I argued.

"And I never get in trouble anymore." My mother playfully rolled her eyes.

"Alright Ken. Have fun!" I gave my mom a hug, grabbed a banana, and raced to school.

When I arrived at school, I immediately spotted my friends Lia and Sam.

They were talking to a few of our other friends. I greeted them and talked with them for a while.

Then, the bell rang and I rushed to the history classroom.

I sat down at my seat in the front row.

Now, I'm definitely not a teachers pet, but I do get decent grades and I'm definitely not dumb. I guess you could call me, "not motivated."

But this year, I had to try harder, which is why I'm at the front.

The teacher started taking attendance.

"Kendra Williams?" "Here!" I raised my hand.

After she finished, she said, "Alright class! We will be leaving shortly. When we arrive, you will be put into groups of four.

There will be one group without a chaperone. Now, please take care of any business that you need to take care of right now.

We WON'T be making any stops!"

I decided to try and use the bathroom so I wouldn't have to go on the bus.

The last time I had to, it was super embarrassing.

I finished my business and met up with my class outside.

We walked to the bus and hopped on. I sat next to Liz and Sam.

I was trying to go to sleep, but my friends were chatting it up.

"I hope we don't get put in a group with that loser, Onyx", Sam said.

"Yeah," Lia agreed.

I didn't say anything because I don't like to talk bad about people, but Onyx was a bit weird.

She was really quiet and secretive. She had only one friend.

But, being in a group with her won't be so bad, right?

I finally was able to fall asleep, and when I woke up, we were at our destination.

A/N: Hi y'all! I hope you enjoy this story. And sorry if the chapter names are a bit crappy; I couldn't really think of names 😭
