Chapter 7: Field Trip

The next morning no one in the Swan household had a good night's sleep. Charlie had to wake up Anastasia every hour and ask her questions. People with concussions could have short-term memory loss or long-term memory loss. It depends on the severity of the concussion. And Bella such a light sleeper also awoke with them.

"You could have slept on the couch," Anastasia grunted towards Bella who yawned widely for the fifth time since they got to the school. 

Bella glares over to Anastasia, "I don't know how Dad could sit on that couch for hours to watch his sports." she grunts, rubbing her bottom like she could still feel the springs digging into the soft tissue. 

"Soon, we're trying to talk him into getting a new couch..." she and Bella shared a look. "Well, a newer couch." she tacts on, knowing their Dad probably wouldn't want to spend a lot of money on one.

Several science classes congregate, gathering for a field trip, that Mr. Molina is in charge of. Bella handed their permission slips to Mr. Molina, who was standing between the school buses.

The school is so small, with only fifty-odd students in one grade. To save money the school does three science trips every year for all grades of science classes. Last year they went on an electronic field trip for the physics class.

Angela said it was interesting how all the science teachers had to figure out how to use the electronic field trip in their lessons. Bio used it as a way to show how much the body produces electronics, while Chem used it as a way to understand an EM force.

This year it's the Bio department's turn, so they will be heading towards some kind of greenhouse plant nursery. The Chem lab would focus on bacteria and diseases.

"Make sure I get your permission slips!" Mr. Molina shouted out, already looking stressed, along with the rest of the science teachers. Although Mr. Ross seems to make sure his Chem class is in order, from the dressing down they got the other day.

"Look!" Mike called out behind Anastasia and Bella with a large smile, "You're both moving. You're are ALIVE!" he shouted out, in a Dr. Franksteain voice.

Anastasia winced from his loud volume, while Bella looked very uncomfortable, "Yeah...false alarm." Bella told him.

Mike looks nervously, "Actually, I'm glad you girls are not dead, cause...well, that would suck..." he paused, while the Swan girls give him a deadpan look. "Plus I wanted to ask you, even though it's like a month away." he goes on.

"Which one of us?" Anastasia asked, only to wince in pain. Bella rubbed her back in sympathy, aspirin could only work so far. 

"Oh..." Mike, looked like a fish out of water. "I-I guess either one of you. Since you both don't have a date." he paused again and took a deep breath. "Would you like to go to prom with me?" he asked dancing on his toes, more likely from the nerves and not from the cold. 

"Oh..." Bella looked at her sister. They've been asked to the school dances before. But we've never been asked by the same guy. "We're just planning on going to the dance together. As sister." Bella clarified for him, with a polite smile.

Mike's mouth dropped, "Are you sure?" he asked them. Bella raises an eyebrow at his tone. 

Anastasia spotted Jessica watching Mike. "Why don't you ask Jessica?" Anastasia asked, and Mike followed Anastasia's eyes sight to where Jessica is at.

Bella gives him a bright smile, "Yeah. I know she's been waiting on someone to ask her out." she told him.

Mike bites his lip, looking between Jessica, and the Swan girls. Unsure, but still answered, "Um...maybe," he told them with some uncertainty in his tone, before loading the bus.
