Elizabeth's p.o.v
It's the day of the trip. Everybody was scared. Even I was, which is rare. I put my blonde hair in a ponytail, science mode, the others call it. "Oh look, Ivan, Liz is going into science mode." Anna said, laughing. "Do you know what might kill us in green potatoes?" Anna gave me a look, which means she's thinking. "Cyanide." She said after 4 minutes. "It took you 4 minutes to figure that one out." Rose said, sarcastically. I blinked my violet eyes, which means I don't care, without me saying it. Pearl rushed in, holding her bag. "Sorry, I'm late, Mr. Kamui. Amai-Lee forgot to drive me to school." "Pearl, you're 5 minutes late, we're not leaving for another 3 minutes." "Liz, you're in science mode, aren't you?" I nodded. I worked on my design for a chair that floats so us students don't have to walk to and from our seats. Something that'll 'revolutionize' a classroom, Akyura called it when I showed him. Pearl skipped to her seat. "Hey Liz." She said. I nodded a quick hello. "Aren't you excited for the trip?" Pearl said, excitedly. Pearl is the optimistic one. "Not really." I said as we lined up at the door to get on the bus. Rose put her hair into a ponytail, but with dreadlocks instead of the usual curls she had. Then we got on the bus. Akyura sat next to me. "Hi Lizzie, I was late for school, but Mimi dropped me off." "Are you better from what happened yesterday?" Akyura nodded. "I was dizzy, that's all." "Are you... wearing eyeliner?" I asked. "Yeah, Mimi wanted me to try Nikita's eyeliner instead of the crappy one I use. She said, 'it's too dangerous for you to use bad eyeliner on your 'sensitive' eyelids, Akyura.' Sensitive my foot." I giggled. Ivan was kicking the back of Mr. Kamui's seat again. I remember when this happened before, Pearl got a bloody nose, Rose was blasting her music, the usual. "Ivan, stop kicking the back of my seat!" Mr. Kamui yelled, loud enough so the whole bus could hear. I got scared. This never happens, Mr. Kamui never yells that loud, or that harshly. I got worried. Then someone's phone went off. "Who's phone is that?" Mr. Kamui yelled, louder and harsher. "Wait, never mind. It's my phone." Mr. Kamui said. "It's Kaito. Now shut up!" Mr. Kamui yelled even louder, but less harshly. Ivan smirked, then kicked the back of Mr. Kamui's seat. Then the bus stopped suddenly. "No babe, I didn't leave the garage door open. I closed it. What do you mean that you lost your key fob? I know that! I didn't leave the door open! You did! I tell you every day to close the door! I know you don't listen to me when I tell you! Yeah right you're asleep! I gotta go Kaito. Love you too. Bye." Anna and I gave each other horrified looks. "What?" Anna started laughing. We got off the bus. Anna dabbed while Mr. Kamui and Ms. Morgan weren't looking. Then it turned into a huge bunch of my classmates dabbing. "C'mon Liz, try dabbing." Pearl said. " No." I said. "DO IT, JUST DO IT!" Anna yelled. Ms. Morgan said, "C'mon y'all. Let's go." We followed Ms. Morgan into the building. It smelled of cold pizza, and warm soda. We walked to the animatronic stage. There were 3 animatronics. A chicken, a cat, and a human-type one. "Hello. My name is Natalie. I'll be your guide today. These are our animatronics, Helene the Hen, Caitlyn the Cat, and Cupid. Any questions?" "I have a question. Can the animatronics dab?" Anna asked, with a smirk on her face. Mr. Kamui sighed angrily. "Yes, they can! We let them do this during teenager's birthday parties. I give them the command, dab, then they'll dab." The animatronics dabbed in perfect sync. Ms. Morgan had a terrified look on her face. "I could've saved her." She whispered over and over. "Saved who?" I asked. "Kenshin-chan. I took her here once when I was babysitting, and, and," Ms. Morgan started to cry. "S-she was bit. By Helene. I let her go too close." I took a good look at Helene. No stains on the teeth, no broken jaw. "Natalie, is this the original Helene?" I asked. "No. The original is discontinued due to a little girl losing her frontal lobe in an accident 10 years ago. I'll show you the original in the back room. Follow me." We followed Natalie into the back room. An old, rusty, dusty, disgusting, animatronic stood lifeless in the back room. "This is the original Helene. She was made in the 80's, survived a fire, and she bit that little girl." Akyura fainted. "Oh God!" Mr. Kamui screamed. I rolled my eyes again. "This is gonna be a long day." Anna said.
