"I can't believe you signed up for this!" I said to Brandon who was driving me to school. Brandon had decided to chaperone one of my school field trips. It was supposed to be Stephanie, but well, she was busy.

"Anything for you, kiddo. Besides, it's eleven and twelve year old kids. How bad could it be?" Brandon asked as he pulled into a parking spot.

"You have no clue how annoying my class is, Dad. I found a peanut butter and jelly sandwich stuck to the bottom of my chair yesterday in homeroom."

"Did you eat it?" Brandon asked.

"Dad! Ew! No!" I yelled, walking into the school with Brandon. He laughed and then we approached my classroom.

"Dude, I bet I can get this pencil stuck in the ceiling." one of the annoying boys in my class said.

"Bet. Oooh, there's Block. Hot redhead alert." the other dude said. I rolled my eyes and said, "Newsflash, jerk, I'm gay."

"I thought you were bi." Brandon said, but I cut him off and said, "Bi with a lean to girls, so yeah."

"Come on, you two. Stop." my teacher said. I sat down in my seat and motioned for Brandon to sit in the empty chair next to me. "Class, the bus is outside and the list of who's with which chaperone is on the board. Make sure to represent this school well, attendance at this field trip is a privilege, not a right."

"Yes, ma'am." my entire class chorused at the same time.

"Josie!" I heard someone yell. That someone was none other than my girlfriend, Harper Cambridge. "We're in the same group!"

I looked up, and under Brandon's name was my name, Harper's name, two names of idiot boys, and none other than Amethyst Eaton.

"CRAP!"

"We're lost." I said to my dad.

"No, we're not lost." Brandon said, looking down at the map and almost slamming into a pole.

"Oh my God, Dad, give me the map right now or so help me." I said.

"I'm the chaperone here, can you just let me do my job?" Brandon asked. I sighed and ran back to where Harper was and walked with her.

I felt someone flick my arm and I turned around to see who it was. I sighed when I realized it was Amethyst.

"Can you quit?" I asked.

"No." I rolled my eyes and just decided to ignore it. Amethyst kept flicking me and it was seriously starting to get on my nerves.

"Amethyst. Stop." Brandon said. Amethyst sighed and rolled her eyes. "You can't tell me what to do."

"The last time I checked, I was in charge of you guys, and I say to stop flicking Josie. It's starting to annoy her." Brandon said. I gave my dad a high-five and then we walked down the hallway.

The trip was over and I was sitting next to Brandon on the bus ride back to school.

"Dad?" I asked.

"Yes, baby?"

"Can Mama chaperone the next field trip?"
