Avery Smith - Kotlc oc AU 1

Chapter 3

It had been a couple months since Avery first met Sophie. Mr. Sweeney was droning on about dinosaurs and the fossils that were found, and Avery was doodling a couple sketches of what she thought dinosaurs really looked like. Maybe they had fur to survive cold nights or big fluffy feathers. She chuckled at that second one Like dinosaurs would have feathers. They would just look like giant chickens. She snapped out of her daydreaming when she realized Mr. Sweeney was talking about a field trip to the local museum. That piqued her interest until she realized how boring that would be. Her mom used to volunteer a lot at that museum and would drag her along too. She vividly remembered how bad the displays and models were. She had nightmares of the Stegosaurus they had there. "Alright everyone line up!" Said Mr. Sweeney. Were they in kindergarten or something? She grabbed her notebook so she could have something to do but Mr. Sweeney said, "Leave your notebook here Avery. You'll be having to much fun learning about the dinosaurs to doodle in that book of yours." Ugh, who would want to spend 2 hours standing around looking at dinosaur statues. But it wasn't like she could do anything about it. So she begrudgingly put her notebook down and got in line, next to Sophie. "Ugh, Mr. Sweeney is so obnoxious." She told Sophie. "Huh? Oh, yeah. He makes these weird comments about us being 'know it all's' and 'uneducated'" she replied. "Huh? I've, never heard him say that?" Avery wondered. Sophie suddenly tensed up. "U-uhm, actually I was thinking o-of something else." She stuttered. "Hey, you okay? You look like you're gonna hurl.." Avery asked. "Nope! I'm, uh- a-okay!" She did a little thumbs up. She could tell Sophie was hiding something. But what?
