Chapter 37

We are going to New York "Jacob slammed a brochure on Evie's table at the student union. He had told her to meet him here.

"What?" Evie looked at him. Not sure she heard him correctly.

"Evie I missed out on the NYC trip and I want to go to NYC before everyone leaves for the summer. I found this brochure that will give us a tour of NYC for a discount price" Jacob was shocked when he saw how reasonable the price was.

" I guess it would be fun" Evie shrugged. "Elise and Maria also did not join us last time. Okay let's go this upcoming weekend"

"Perfect I'll text the group chat!" Jacob pulled out his phone. "I want to see the Statue of Liberty, Time Square, The Brooklyn Bridge, The Empire state building, and the rock climbing place you went to"

"Well, what about The Met?" Evie was reading the brochure. She loved museums.

"That's lame" Jacob replied still texting everyone. "Also, I figured we could take a tour bus that way we can hop on and hop off and not waste gas"

Evie nodded "Yeah sounds good to me. Are we going to stay the night" she looked up at him.

Jacob's face then lit up "Okay hear me out"

Evie's face fell "What did you plan?"

"There's this club" Evie then groaned "Listen" Jacob snapped at her, "I think we should go and have a party Saturday night. It will be like one final party"

"Yes, but we have the Brotherhood Formal coming up soon. Where everyone will be there" Evie pointed out to him. "We also partied hard on Spring Break"

"And we can party hard in NYC. I mean how many times are we going to get the chance to party often" Jacob wanted to have as much fun in college as he could before the real world hit him.

Evie finally relented "Fine. What about underage drinking and all that"

Jacob flashed a smile "Hello fake IDs"

"If we get arrested, I will murder you" Evie glared at him. She was terrified of being arrested because of her brother.

"Well be fine dear sister" Jacob smiled again at her plotting already.

That night everyone got together and started planning. Elise and Maria were excited since they did not go on the last trip. Jacob then invited Alexios and he happily joined. Altair and Malik would sadly not make it since they had to stay back and take care of the dorm. Maria was bummed about that. Desmond, Ezio, and Conner were excited, however. Conner was beyond nervous since he and Dobby had broken up. He felt awkward seeing her around the building now. Luckily though Ezio had been great and helped Conner out.

It was now 8 am and everyone was in front of the tour bus. Evie of course was making everyone start their day even if they were parting late at night. For the first few hours, the bus drove them around NYC itself. Everyone enjoyed it even if some were a bit bored like Jacob and Desmond. They would get out and look around and then board the bus again. Evie actually enjoyed learning the history and all that. She sort of wished they had done this in Paris at Christmas. The tour then ended at the Statue of Liberty.

"Wow I can't believe we're here" Jacob marveled as they walked off the boat.

Elise agreed "I know you see it on so many tv shows and movies and then you see it in person"

"It's okay" Maria shrugged. She wanted to see more military forts or historic battlefields.

"Yeah, I agree" Ezio added in "Once you've seen it's meh" he shrugged. This was his fourth time seeing it since the Brotherhood does this every year.
