Blue Eyes (Asa Butterfield)

Chapter 13

The next morning I wake up with Rider hanging over me.

I sit up and yell, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

Rider sits down and says eagerly, "We're going into town today! The entire sophomore class!" Rider said tossing me some jeans and a sleeveless British flag shirt with my red and black, striped arm warmers. "Hurry!"

I smile and hurry and change then run down to the entrance to see Iris waiting.

We race to the double decker busses and we all pile on. I sit next to Asa and Rider and Iris sit in the next to two seats.

Asa and I take a couple selfies and Iris photobombed a couple.

Iris: I love this one!

Iris said showing the one where she appeared in the middle.

Me: Haha. Now why are we going into town?

Rider: Something about culture. Who cares.

Asa: Nice explanation. (Rolling his eyes)

Once we get off out culture teacher Ms. Campbell explained, "We're here to find all the culture here in town! We're going on a scavenger to find everything! With one adult and a group of four."

Rider, Asa, Iris and I hurry over and stand next to Ms. Jameson and she smiles and opens up a piece of paper with a list of things we need to find.

"But," Ms. Campbell said, "you must take a picture with you next to your item or else you'll be cheating. You may....BEGIN!"

Ms. Jameson opens the paper and the first thing was 1) find Big Ben.

That was easy because we met a block from it.

We race to Big Ben and Rider snaps a shot or Iris and I.

Then next thing on our list is to take a picture from the top of the London Eye!

Iris started jumping up and down saying, "Oh I love it up there! Jess, it's amazing!" Iris grabbed my arm and pulled me into the line.

Asa: Are you afraid of heights?

Me: Nope! I love that rush of the feeling like you might fall to your death!

Asa laughs and says, "Well it's our turn!"

Once we get to the very top I take a pic with Iris on top of Asa's back. I laughed so hard that I started to loose a lot of oxygen that I couldn't keep up and I started to cough!

Rider: Next thing is the Poetry Library! YES!

We all stare at Rider shocked that he likes poetry, "What?" He asked. "A guy can't like poetry?! Shakespeare!"

"Rider, we never knew you were so good with words!" Ms. Jameson said teasing him.

Rider leads us all to the poetry library and we took a picture of him in front of the giant sign! What a wordy geek that I never knew he had in him. Asa was as shocked as I was and he's his best friend. I guess we all have secrets.

Rider goes inside the building and starts to get lost in all the pretty books. We don't care if we lose the scavenger hunt all that matters is that I got to discover London with my friends and capture new memories that I came for. I didn't want to leave Aubrey and Adrian and not live life!

I look at the list for the last sighting and I smile from ear to ear!

Me: The Institute of Contemporary Arts!

The Institute of Contemporary Arts is a place where MCAA students love to go to because it has music, and an art gallery and it's just a place to go to if you love culture! I had a brochure on it that I have in one of my music notebooks.

We hurry to the building and all of us stand overlooking the water and a nice stranger was able to take a picture of all of us doing a serious face and a funny one. In one the funny Asa is kissing my cheek while I tighten like I'm shivering!

We look around since this is where all of us are interested in learning and having fun doing what we love and what could be better than going to a building that inspires that!?

Asa and I listen to a band called Music Go Music. They're amazing! They play soft-rock that's unbelievably great. I love it here.

When we had to go Rider and Ms. Jameson went to go see the School of Sound where you go into a dimmed theater and listen to new music. They said it was an amazing experience!

Iris comes prancing back in such a happy mood that it's blinding that's how bright she is. She went to see Art Will Save The World and they present music that's very soulful and cheerful and it made you actually know that music is a perfect answer to describe something!

After we grouped back it was already nine thirty and we have another hour before curfew and it looks like the busses left us stranded in London! Why would they just leave us without warning? Jerks!

Iris: Great! They left us!

Asa: Now what do we do?!

Rider: This is a story to tell.

Ms. Jameson: Let's go get some Yauatcha!

Yauatcha is a Chinese restaurant that only a mile away so we all fit into one cab and go get some Chinese to end a nice long, fun day that's a great story to tell.

I get some dumplings and stuff my face in them until we get tired and take a cab back to MCAA.

When we get there it's ten o'clock and Ms. Jameson explains to our advisors about being stranded and eating and luckily we're off the hook.

Iris and I go to bed and talk about our favorite part while looking at the pictures that I just finished syncing in my laptop.

We laugh at the one with Rider and the library. Ah.Then I laugh at the funny pic of all of us. These are the memories that we live for and I will never forget them because I know that I love these people too much to forget them.

"See you in the morning.' I said getting snuggled into bed.

"Night." Iris said drifting to sleep.

This is something I can't wait to tell Aubrey about!

A/N: How did you like this chapter? Please tell me if I did something wrong, but if it's like grammar mistakes or spelling errors then keep moving on, but if you have no clue what it says I won't mind.

I DON'T live in London so this entire chapter was all research about The Poetry Library, Big Ben, Yauatcha, ICA, & The London Eye so if anything is incorrect please tell me and I'm sorry.

Bye Wormies!
