7: Field Trips and Idiots II

<<Chapter 7: Field Trips and Idiots II>>

"So, first we're going to go over and get our fast passes, then we'll go on the Hulk, then-" Natalia starts.

"Wait, wait-holdup." I stop her. We're at the rest stop waiting for everyone else to finish buying snacks and things. It's only around 7:30 at this point-still to early, if you ask me.

"Hey, why don't we head back to the bus?" Rachel asks as she walks over to us. We only have 15 minutes at this rest stop, after all, and then we'll be on our way to Universal.

"Sounds good to me," I say, grabbing Natalia's wrist and dragging her away from the case of perfume on sale.

"But... Look!! It's the One Direction perfume!! It's even the same box as mine!" She shouts like an excited little girl.

"Dear lord..." I mumble. Rachel and I laugh and shake our heads. We walk back over to the bus where all the chorus kids are situated and make our way to the back of the vehicle.

"Good morning campers...." Mr. Lester says into the microphone at the front of the bus as soon as everyone has piled back on. Not again....

"Shut the fuck up already!" I hear Matthew mumble, which causes me to chuckle and shake my head, yet again.

"We're about 2 hours away!" Mr. Lester says again and everyone cheers. Well, that's a first--a positive reaction to one of his announcements!

"Yay!!" Natalia shouts and grins wide.

"Okay everyone, we're here! Please wait outside the bus so that we can walk over to the stage as a group," Mr. Lester announces over the loudspeaker as we pull into the parking area for busses at Universal. Everyone gets out of their seats and exits the bus, crowding around the sidewalk as we wait for the teachers.

"Where's Caroline?" Natalia says with a hint of venom in her voice.

"Five bucks says she sat with Finn," I mumble, "actually, add ten to that and I'll bet that Caroline will say some bullshit about not wanting to hurt his feelings when he asked to sit with her," I roll my eyes.

"Nah, I'm not going bet on the truth," Natalia shrugs, rolling her eyes along with me.

"She's over there," Rachel taps my shoulder and points in Caroline's direction a few feet away.

"Surprise, surprise-she's with her boyfriend instead of her supposed 'best friends'," Natalia grunts as we walk up to her, sporting our matching black choir polo shirts and khaki shorts. All band members are wearing the same thing, except their shirts read 'high school band' on them instead of 'high school choir'.

"So, Caroline, how's Finn doing?" Natalia asks with a fake smile and kind tone that is comparative to a Barbie doll. Either Caroline doesn't seem to notice, or she wants to keep up her innocent little act in front of Finn.

"I sat down in a seat by myself and he just kinda came over and sat next to me! What was I supposed to do?" She says in a high pitched voice before smiling and giggling, twirling a piece of of blonde hair around her finger and adjusting the pink bow at the top of her high ponytail.

"You totally called it," Natalia whispers to me, chuckling and giving me a sly high-five.

"What's so funny?" Caroline asks innocently, batting her goopy, black eyelashes.

"Oh, nothing," I mumble, shaking my head once again before Natalia, Rachel, and I walk off towards the rest of the choir members, chatting as we walked.
