-i. math teachers and hallucinations

Choi Beomgyu hated field trips. In fact, he absolutely despised them. He didn't understand the appeal of being shoved in a bus for over 3 hours to drive to the middle of the buttfuck of nowhere and wander for the entire day. He has never been picky about food, but he would never let the soggy sandwiches and cold pasta that they would serve anywhere near his mouth much less in his stomach. Worst of all, everytime he went on field trips, something strange would happen around him that would end up getting him expelled.

These ''strange incidents'' have always been pinned on Beomgyu no matter how many times he tried to explain to the teachers that it couldn't possibly be his fault. But, even he must admit that saying that the school bus explosion was caused by a giant man in a trench coat who happened to only have one eye smack dab in the middle of his head, was making him sound like some psycho who forgot to take their meds.

To say his dad was disappointed was an understatement, but who cares, he was too busy taking business trips to South Korea eleven out of the twelve months of the year to even bother with Beomgyu anymore.

Daddy issues? Major.

This time, Beomgyu was a bit more optimistic about the current field trip he was on for two particular reasons. One, his favorite teacher Mr.Brunner, was leading the field trip. Mr.Brunner was a cool dude and his class was the only class that was actually bearable. His class consisted of game days where the teacher and students would dress up in armor and go up to the dusty old chalkboard and name as many Roman and Greek gods and heroes they could remember. So, fun stuff, unlike his algebra class where he was sure that the teacher Ms.Dodds had it out for him and his best friend.

Which brought him to his next reason why this field trip might just be less miserable than the rest. Percy Jackson, his best friend since the start of the school year. Percy was an interesting guy to say the least. He was hyper, played pranks and had a weird obsession over blue food-not that Beomgyu minded of course, Ms.Jackson made the best blue cookies he has ever tasted.

They had met on the first day of eighth grade in detention, Beomgyu for starting a food fight in the cafeteria and Percy for selling candy out of his locker and that was possibly the best day in Beomgyu's life (and the worst for the many teachers in Yancy Academy). It was even better when they learned that they shared the same dorm, which they shared with another boy named Grover Underwood, whom they have also become pretty good friends with.

Well, anyway, back to the situation at hand. Beomgyu was squished between Percy and the window, with Grover in the aisle seat barely hanging on as the bus rocked back and forth on the poorly paved roads, tossing everyone in the bus around like a salad.

This tortuous trip unfortunately in addition to the more than terrible driving also included the insufferable Nancy Bobofit chucking chunks of her peanut butter and ketchup sandwich all the way to the metropolitan museum of art.

"I'm gonna kill her," Percy mumbled as another chunk of sandwich landed in Grover's curly hair. Beomgyu let out a hum of agreement already coming up with ways to torture the redheaded girl as he took out a stack of napkins from his satchel to get the food out of Grovers hair.
