#15 - School Trip

You are going on a school trip to the natural history museum in London and you and your mates, Chrissie and Lola quickly run onto the train to get the best seats, where there are two sets of two seats facing each other in the middle of the carriage with a table in the middle. You manage to beat your other classmates to it and take the seats. You get all your company magazines out on the table and your sketch pads. You look at your watch. 10 minutes until the train left the station. Everyone was sat down, apart from the guy you like, and you knew he was coming because you made sure to find out! Suddenly one of the train doors opened and he jumped on. He looked round the carriage and the only place to sit was right next to you! He walked right over and took a seat smiling broadly at you.

"Hey." He says as he sits down.

"Hi." You reply, blushing.

Chrissie and Lola are laughing quietly behind the Company magazine they are sharing. The teacher takes the register and after she has established that everyone is here she tells us the plan.

"Okay then." She starts, "we will be getting off at Waterloo, and you are not to get out of your seats unless you have permission form a member of staff. When we get off we will be in pairs, and we will remain with them all day. We don't want to make this day boring so you will pair up with who you are sat next to right now - NO MOVING JENKINS!" she shouts as Mathew Jenkins tries to move next to someone else. You zone out of the rest of what se is telling you because you are partnering up with him all day! He looks over at you and smiles.

"We are going to be a crack team {your name}!"

You arrive at Waterloo, and as you get of the train, he grabs your hand and looks at you.

"I don't want you to get lost, or for us to be separated."
