School Bus Graveyard x Male OC

Episode 8

"Okay everyone," Mr. Thomas looked at his watch, "I'm sure you already know, but I'm going to go over today's schedule one last time. It takes eight hours to get to Savannah."

Other kids on the bus were either fighting playfully, listening, or just tired. One even had a hammock.

"In about four hours, around noon, we'll stop to get something to eat," Mr. Thomas said, "Once we get to Savannah, you and your groups will have two hours to eat, go on tours, look at historic monuments, explore the area, goof off, etc."

Taking his phone out, Carlos scrolled through some videos, particularly the school fight, a classic to him. He got a text from his mother.

Mom

You

Yeah

Mom

Abuelo is sick, so Chris will be at home, if anything happens, call him, okay?

You

Mom

Okay, te amo.

You

Yo también te amo :)

Mr. Thomas continued his speech, "After, we'll all meet back up at the bus and head to the motels. Everyone who has a phone has added Mr. Lee's, Mr. Sarah's, and my number correct?"

"Yes," everyone said in unison except Ben.

"Alright, then let's get this show on the road!" Mr. Thomas said excitedly.

"Just you wait, Carlos, I'll make you pay for this," Ashlyn silently threatened him, she could hear him rant to Ben, mostly about his hobbies and some random stuff. Her thought process is stopped when Aiden calls to her.

"Wanna try?" Aiden asked, holding a rubix cube.

"I'm not a big puzzle person..." She responded.

"It'll be a good way to pass the time. And I have plenty to choose from!" Aiden exclaimed with his bag opened, showing tons of different puzzles.

"Why do you have so many?!" Carlos deadpanned at him.

"I just have to make each side the same color, right?" Ashlyn asked.

"Yep! Like this." Aiden gives an example, solving the rubix cube in 0.04 seconds, leaving her dumbfounded.

She took the rubix cube and Taylor turns to the back to get one for herself too. Aiden rummage his hand inside the bag before pulling out a crossword puzzle.

"Here Carlos, wanna give it a try?" Aiden handed it to Carlos who pulled out a pencil in response.

"Thanks." He took the crossword puzzle and got to solving immediately.

"Uh uhm, mind if I j-join you...?" Logan asked from behind.

"Sure, let me scoot over," Carlos responded and leaned over to the side to make some room for Logan to sit beside him, although Ben wanted to enjoy the time he had with Carlos, he didn't mind it.

"We're finally here!!" The students shouted before getting out of the bus.

"Eight hours was a lot longer than I thought it'd be." Ashlyn thought while stretching, cracking and popping sounds appear. Some of the members cringed while Aiden was amazed at it.
