Jonysious pronounced (jo-nee- see- us)

Paris. The city of lights and mysteries.
Home to amazing art, clothing and food. What else more could you want ?

"Alright ! Everyone listen up." Ms patsy calls and everyone on the bus turns to direct their attention to her.

"It's our first day here so let's not go crazy. We will be arriving at the rental house shortly so once we are there I will assign you, your roommates."

After a few minutes the bus comes to a halt once again and everyone gets up stretching their legs and moving out the bus.

I jump off the bus and head over to the bottom compartments to get my luggage.
A senior trip to Paris. Who wouldn't be happy to be here? I didn't really think I would be here if I'm completely honest. My mother and father have been on a very thin and rocky relationship for the past 2 years and money wasn't exactly our bestfriend, but for my 18th birthday my parents surprised me with my ticket.

I don't know how but I'm not complaining. Every night there was an argument. It feels good to just be away. Im pretty sure they don't even notice I'm gone with all their arguing.

"Jony! Over here!"

I snap out my thoughts and walk over to Ms.Patsy

"You will be rooming with Tate Evens" she points to some kid with his head phones blasting music.

"You will be in room 4, second floor"

I nod and head over to Tate who finally takes his headphones off.

"Hi" I say

"Wassup"

"We are roommates so might as well head up to our room together" I shrug

He nods and puts his head phones back on. "Lead the way"

I choose not to answer knowing he wouldn't be able to hear me anyway. Note to self, keep to yourself like planned.

Up the stairs to the left side of the house was our room. It was a okay size room with two beds on opposite sides of the room, a bathroom, and a balcony.

I choose the bed closest to the balcony knowing if I ever needed to escape or grab some air it would be a very close walk.

"You might not want to unpack." Tate speaks and I stop myself from grabbing my clothes out of my bag.

"Why?" I ask

"We are about to leave might as well just wait."

I look around awkwardly.

"This is my second time being on this trip okay? Trust me." He says and lays down on his bed shutting his eyes. "Patsy will call us down in a minute or so."

I frown and take a seat on my bed and a few minutes later a speaker goes off . "Everyone please report to the court yard thank you"

I'm the first one out the room and I follow the crowd of people to the court yard where the rest of the students are huddled together, attention on the person with a microphone.

"Okay first welcome to Paris children, second Today we will be going to a dinner reserved at Gramaldi's restaurant at 7:45 pm, so be dressed and down stairs ready to board the shuttles at 7:20. It is... 6:00 you have an hour to get ready. Chop chop people !" Ms. Patsy yells and everyone scrams back inside (mainly the girls) to begin getting ready.

The trip is meant as a senior but also educational trip as well. We are supposed to visit many places in France like art galleries, the Eiffel Tower, and the catacombs then we choose one place to write a senior report about.
