It was a dark night, and it had just turned 9pm. "Come along children, hurry up!" said Mr. Marks "we don't have all day!" were the first words that Josh heard as he stumbled into the warm coach doors, he was wearing dark blue jeans and a black shirt with a grey hoodie over the top. Josh immediately saved the first five seats after the teachers seats closest to the front of the coach, for him, Charlie, Jack, Michael and liam, these four where his best friends, he had known them since the age of five and trusted them more than anyone. Charlie was his bestest friend though, in school charlie would always stick up for Josh, whatever happend, they did everything together. His four best friends came in dragging there heels on the floor, yawning. Charlie immediately jumped on the seat next to Josh as Liam went to sit there, so instead Liam sat next to michael. Jack sat infront.
The other children started to get onto the coach, Gregory the popular guy everyone wanted to be like, followed by his best mate Jack, who was also followed by there three girly friends, Chelsea, Charlotte and Vikki, they were giggling amongst themselves. They all went straight to the back of the coach, with Greg in the middle of the back row of seats. Then came Brandon and his best mate was Will. Brandon was the bully of ST. Peters secondary school. And his mate Will was the un-funny guy, who would try and make jokes, but they never worked. They went and sat a couple of rows behind Josh and his friends. Then came the last couple of children, Rebecca, Hannah and Ashley. Rebecca and Hannah were talking between themselves, shuffling down the isle of the coach, these two were also very popular, so they went to the back with Greg and the others. Finally with all the children on board Mr Marks started to count the children slowly making his way up the isle of the coach, he was a tall old fashioned man with black short hair and was in his early fifty's. He had only got to the fith isle down when Mrs Miller and Mrs Jones stepped onto the coach. Mrs Miller was a short plump lady with shoulder length grey hair, but always with a great big beaming smile on her face. Mrs Jones was a tall thin lady with long black wavy hair, she was in her early thirty's. Mrs miller smiled at Jack and sat down next to him. Mrs Jones walked over to the first row of seats and sat closest to the window, with a blank expression on her face, staring out of the window. "How many hours are we gonna bo on the coach for Mrs?" Jack asked Mrs Miller, "about 17 hours" she said with a vary excited and eager look on her face. Mr Marks had just finished counting the children and was making his way back down to the front of the coach, many of the children had started to get there pillows out from there small bags under there chairs.
Michael had tried to sneak a huge bar of chocolate out of his bag, Josh and Charlie had spotted this, and unfortunately so had Mrs Miller, she laughed quitely and said, "Michael dont you think its a bit late for that?" she laughed, "its gone 9pm!" "ok Mrs" he smiled and put it away."Just dont let Mr Marks see you with that!" she added. Josh smiled then looked up the isle and saw most people starting to drop of to sleep, so he had started to unpack his own blue pillow from his small bag. "Where are we going again mrs"? Liam asked, Mrs Miller giggled and turned round to face Liam, "Skiing" "i know that Mrs i meant where"? "i know i was only joking!, we are going to Austria". "i knew that" Liam said with a very smug look on his face.
Mr Marks started his 10 minute long speech, which felt more liked an hour. After he had finished the speech on saftey on how not to run up and down on the coach, most people had droped of to sleep. Otto the coach driver had just stepped onto the bus, he was wearing black shorts, and a red shirt, also a blue cap. He started to talk to Mrs Miller, then he got into his driver seat, he was not a large man, he was a very short man. He started up the coach and they were off. Everyone had fallen asleep by now except for the teachers and Josh.The coach had just gone into a left turn onto the main road, it was vary dark now, Josh had lent his head onto the window. He was starting to fall asleep now, His eyes started to close, unable to keep them open, he was looking foward to skiing but not knowing what was to come.
