Becoming the New Girl

Day Trip into London

The next day was Monday and I had been thinking about what Parker told me all night, I could barely sleep. As I walked into History, I was so deep in thought I didn't even notice that there was a note on the whiteboard that all students were standing around. I sat down at my desk and pulled out my books still deep in thought.

"Sierraaaaa," a voice whined breaking me out of my trance. "Sorry what?" I said making the whole class laugh. "You did read the note on the board right?" Mr Johnson said pointing at the board. I shook my head and he sighed. "We are sitting here and waiting for the bus to take us to the Museum for the day, there is no need to get your books out, you can leave your bag in here for the day." He said and I nodded my head. "We will also be joining Mrs Sparks class so if your friends are in there you can feel free the go around the museum with them, I expect the best behaviour...". He droned on but I stopped listening at the friends part, everyone apart from Tobias was in Mrs Sparks class so that means that I could spend the day with Jo, Poppy and Chase but it also meant that I would have to spend it with Parker, who I hadn't talked to since last night.

 I didn't have much chance to think about what I was going to do as I saw a familiar red head walk through the door. "The bus is here!" Jo said grinning at Mr Johnson and then to me. As we got to the bus everyone parted for me and Jo to get through. The perfects seats were reserved at the very back of the bus so we could all sit together. This earned a few glares to me but I ignored them and jumped on, immediately meeting eyes with Parker. I didn't look away and neither did he until Poppy squealed, jumping up and hugging me.

 As there was 5 seats at the back we all sat together in a line, Chase, Parker, me then Jo and Poppy. At first there was tension between me and Parker but he loosened up when I offered him a Jaffa cake. "So guys we aren't actually planning to stay at the museum all day are we?" Poppy asked popping a skittle in her mouth. Parker shook his head, "We go in with everyone else and then leave as soon as we are out of sight and meet everyone back at the bus at the end of the day, easy." he said smirking mischievously. "What if we get caught?" I asked and Chase chuckled. "They are not going to punish the richest kids in the school Sierra, they will only give us a warning which we have endless amounts of." he said grinning and I rolled my eyes but smiled, spending the whole day with my friends around London sounded good.

After 30 minutes of driving we finally arrived at the museum and all of us merged into the crowds after being told to meet at the bus at 4:30. After 10 minutes we all ran out of the museum and down the street laughing and high fiving that we got out without being seen. "Okay so what is the plan for today?" Jo asked as we stopped outside a random coffee shop. "Well how about we all-" Poppy was cut off when Parker butted in. "I'm taking Sierra around all the tourist places, I'm going to give her a proper tour of London." he said grabbing my arm, making butterflies erupt in my stomach. "Oh okay well do you guys want to do some shopping or something?" Jo asked looking at Poppy and Chase and they both nodded before saying their goodbyes and leaving us. "So where to first?" I asked and Parker grinned before dragging me down the street.

We arrived at the Tower of London first and looked around there for an hour before moving onto the houses of parliament and London eye which was ages away. As we got on the bridge where there would be a perfect view of it I pulled out my camera and started to take some photos. We carried down the bridge and I stopped to admire the view before hearing a camera go off behind me. Parker snapped a picture of me and posted it quickly with the caption "Adventurin' with her". I smiled at him before looking back at the sights and taking some more pictures. Next we headed to Buckingham palace and then to Trafalgar square before heading to some of the main shopping areas. It was fairly busy so we decided to sit in a little coffee shop and talk.

"So I think now is the perfect time to talk about things." I said as he took a sip of his coffee. "Well you obviously know how I feel about you Sierra, how do you feel about me?" he asked and I felt myself blush. "Well-" he cut me off. "Please be honest, if you don't like me spare me the bullshit." he said and I glared at him. "If you didn't cut me off, I was going to say that I like you Parker." I said and a smile formed on his lips. "Really?" he asked and I nodded smiling. He leaned over the table and placed a short but sweet kiss on my lips. When he pulled away a camera snap could be heard and we immediately both shot up and looked around us to see a paparazzi running away from the window and down the street. "Not good." I mumbled as we watched him disappear around the corner. "What's the odds that is all over ever social media and TMZ by tonight?" Parker said rolling his eyes before taking his coffee and my hand and pulling me out of the cafe towards the main shopping area.

I checked the time to see that it was 4:10 and my eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "Parker its 4:10!" I almost yelled as his grip on my hand tightened slightly. "Don't worry we will make it." he said as he waved at a cab driver to stop. We jumped in and basically yelled at the driver to take us to the museum. But as the cab set off so did just about 99% of the cab drivers in London. The traffic was so bad we arrived at the museum at 4:40 to see the teachers panicking outside of the bus. We thanked and payed the driver and headed towards the teachers slowly hoping they wouldn't snap as soon as they saw us. Mrs Sparks spotted us and I immediately tensed up as she came rushing towards us.

"Where have you two been! Shopping around London like the rest of your friends?" she yelled and Parker rolled his eyes. "Does it look like we have been shopping?" he asked and her face went red. "No but-" he cut her off. "We finished the museum in an hour and a bit so we headed into London for a little look  around, I didn't think that would be much of a problem miss would it, or should I call my dad?" Parker asked as he pulled out his phone and her eyes went wide. "N-no there is no need to do that, we just didn't want anyone leaving the museum! Next time please tell us before you decide to run off!" she said quickly before turning around and walking back to the bus. "Told you." Parker said with a smirk before we began our walk of triumph to the bus.
