"Morning mum." I say getting my cup of tea from the kitchen counter. I sit down across from my mom telling her that I will be safe at my trip. "Stay together with the teachers and call me, don't forget to call me. Have fun with your friends too, ok?" My mum says being over protective. "Ok, ok I'll call and I'll have fun, don't worry," I tell her finishing off my tea and putting it in the sink. I walk over to my bags with all my clothes in it and I grab my toothbrush from one of the bags and head to the washroom. I grab the toothpaste and paste it on my brush. I brush my teeth ti'l they're squeaky clean then head back to the kitchen with my mom after I put the brush back in my bag.

"Trips start early in your school, especially overnight ones," she says while we're both putting on our shoes to get in the car, "where are you going again?"

"London." I simply tell her while we finally reach into the car and the engine roars. "3 nights and 4 days, right?"

"Yes mum," she sounds quite scared, I don't know why, she's been acting like this since last week when I told her.

"Mom, are you ok? You been acting a little weird..."

"Yah-um, I'm fine. Just make sure you call me every day, or even every few hours, ok?"

"No mom, seriously! Why are you acting so, you know, protective? Do you not want me to go?"

"Elena. I'm being perfectly normal, can a mother not protect her daughter?"

"Ok, ok. I'll call you." she knows she's being overprotective. Is their something she's not telling me? She never acts like this when I go on trips...

"Ok, we're here," it's about 6:00 in the morning, and I'm so tired and stressed. I don't know what's up with my mom, but I don't really care at this point, all I care about is going to London! I've never been there before and I can't wait to see the view. Apparently we're going to a museum called Nitte museum. I hop out the car and grab my bags from the trunk. My mom follows me to the big bus and she's sees my teacher, Mr. Stuckey.

"Hi, Mr... Stuckey?" My mom says uncertain of his name.

"Yes, Mr.Stuckey, and hello, are you Elena's mum?" Mr. Stuckey says kindly. I look around for Amy and Vikki but they're no where to be found.

"Yes, I certainly am! uh, may I speak to you, privately?"

"Uh, sure!"

What the hell?

First, she doesn't tell me why she's acting so goddamn weird in the car, and now she does this? What could my mother possibly want to talk to him about, privately? My grades? How I act?

I look around again to see if Amy and Vikki are here but I don't see them. Why are they not here yet? They said they'll come early.

"Elena!" I hear my name being called.

I turn around and see... Jess?

"Hey Jess! What are you doing here? You never came to the classes..."

"Ya, because I skipped them."

Oh.

Why would you skip class? I could never bring myself to do that. I have my schedule tattooed into my brain and I do it daily. I would just feel so guilty to ever skip classes.

"So, you just came for the trip?" I ask while she nods as a reply. Well that sucks for her because now she doesn't even know what we're gonna talk about and she won't understand the art, or the lectures about Minarn or anything, plus, let's say if they ask her a question abo-

"Elena to earth!" I hear a familiar voice scream at me while I'm being shaken.

I'm back into reality and see Amy and Jess staring at me as if I'm an alien.

"Oh, sorry, I was just thinking." I smile awkwardly, "better get use to it!" I tell them for them to laugh at me and bring me closer towards the bus where I see Vikki and her mom. "Hey," I whisper to Vikki while her, her mom and Mr. Stuckey are having a conversation. She waves back and then I realize, where's my mom?

"One sec guys, I'll be right back." I tell them while I'm out looking for my mom. I walk to the parking lot to see if my moms car is there, and it is. I see her leaning on the side of the car.

"Mum? Where were you? What were you and Mr. Stuckey talking about?" I ask impatiently wanting to know my last question.

"Nothing really, just about what your going to learn, and stuff."

Oh.

"So why did you have to talk to him privately? I want to know what I'm gonna learn too.." Exactly I say to my self agreeing with my smart ass response.

"Elena, you'll learn what you learn on the trip. Look, your friends are waiting for you." She says gesturing her hand to my friends who are indeed, waiting for me.

I give my mom a "fine" smirk an walk towards her giving her a tight hug. "Elena, please be safe ok? Stay with your friends and have fun, I love you."

I squeeze her tighter at her last words and say " love you too mum."
We finally break and I give her a knowing smile then turning around jogging towards my friends "bye mom!" I say one last time to receive a wave before I jog towards the bus. "Aww, you an your mom are so cute," Amy says while I roll my eyes. "Thanks?" I say before we all laugh together while heading into the line to enter the bus. "Ok guys! Pick a partner to sit beside on this bus ride!" Mr. Stuckey says screaming grabbing everyone's attention. Amy and I both look at each other knowing who were both sitting beside, then giggle a little at our sameness, If that's a word. We link our arms like a cliché couple and enter the bus, our suitcases were already packed into the bunker of the bus and we're allowed to bring a bag filled with things that will keep us occupied. Amy sits down and puts her bag on her lap ad I do the same, Mr. Stuckey asks if we're all comfortable and ready to go and we all say yes. The bus engine starts and we are ready to take off before we're stopped.

"One second," he says to the bus driver. The bus driver opens the bus doors and Mr. Stuckey walks down. I could tell, everyone's wondering what happened, some kids can see who or what it is, but I can't. I'm on the opposite side of the bus so I'm just going to have to wait for someone to tell me. "Go sit down," I hear Mr.Stuckey's voice say lowly to someone. All of a sudden I hear gasps coming from everyone's mouth so I curiously look up to see what happened and I see someone's back.

What's so special about someone's back? I say to myself, still staring at the persons, back. The unknown male has curly hair, that I've seen before.
"What?" I hear Amy say sounding very confused, staring at the same person that everyone else is staring at.

"Who is that?" I ask in full curiosity,

"I think it's..." Amy says and I need no further explanation when he turns around because I know exactly who it is.

Hey guys, short chapter, I know.

Keep reading the book, and I'm pretty sure you all know who "he" Is ;) lol love you guys ♡
