Artist: Set It Off

Wednesday, June 8

"Alright people, line up with your bus partners, I'm taking attendance. Kane! Marie! Stop fooling around and get in line or we're not going anywhere!" Ms Venn barked at us as we chatted loudly and giggled with excitement.

"Chael and Kaitlyn?" I shouted here as I checked my bag for all the necessary items I needed. I forgot to pack sunscreen. I glanced over to my partner, as she peers over my shoulder to look into my bag with me.

"Seriously? Jeez, are so unprepared. What are you ever going to do when I'm not around?" Kaitlyn scolds me, and I duck away from her swings at my head. 

We file onto the school bus, heading to our seat at the very end of the bus. Zeal and Kellain are in the row beside us, which means mischief and giggles throughout the ride. Bella and Diana are in the seat in front of us, watching us with disapproving looks as we wave at the drivers behind us through the window. I'm not participating though, since I get a little motion sick.

The bus is chattering with activity and laughter, and soon enough we're at the amusement park, which is huge. We line up to enter the huge facility, and while we're at it, she sprays my face and arms with her sunscreen, before spraying herself. Mr. Adler rounds us up to give us important announcements.

"Alright guys, you get to go where ever you want, just not out of the park, or the water park. You may go on rides that have water, at your own expense. Just know that I am not carrying spare clothes for you guys if you get soaked," Our crowd explodes with laughter and chatter again, before he brings our attention back. "At 12:30, you will ALL meet us at the Garden, yes the Garden, don't ask me why they named it that, I don't know either. If you are not there, we will start lunch without you, and you will not get any lunch if you are late. Is everybody clear?" Our heads nod in unison and Mr. Adler grins at us. He let's us go, and as soon as he does, Kaitlyn is dragging all of us over to the first ride.

"Should we change into the sandals you told us to bring?" Kaitlyn is already changing into flip-flops, and getting on. We follow her while Aiden stays behind to watch our stuff, not willing to get on the ride with us. As soon as the ride is done, the others rush off to get to the ride next to the one we were just on.

"Hey, wait up!" My yell, but nobody hears me. Kaitlyn turns around to wait for a while, before rushing after them. I'm quick in succession, but there's no room left for me. I leave, slightly annoyed as I wait in the blaring sun. They did say it was going to be hot today. Hopefully I won't get a heat stroke again.

As soon as they finish, we run off to largest roller coaster in sight. For a while, it was named the longest roller coaster, but that was only for a while. Kaitlyn waits for us at the fountain at the bottom, claiming that she didn't like the ride. We let her wait as we line up. When we finally get on the ride, Diana, Bella, and Zeal all sit in one isle. With no more space left, Kellain and I take another near the front.

As the ride escalates, I feel like I've been turned 90 degrees facing upwards. My mind panics and I grip whatever is in front of me like a life line. Screams and giggles fill the air as I curse as much as I can as we fall up and down and twist left and right. It feels like eternity before we get off, greeting Kaitlyn with adrenaline still running through my veins.

"Hey guys! How did you like the ride? Let's go see the photos that the camera took!" She drags me over to the photo shop that took our photo somewhere in the ride. We all look stupid, our faces red and screaming. Bella, Kellain and I are all screaming, Zeal looks like she passed out, and Diana looks like Satan possessed her. We are doubled over, laughing at our photos. We ask the lady up at the front if we could possibly have those photos sent to us, so she asks for our e-mail addresses so she can send it to us. Diana and I give her ours, and we head out of the shop to the next ride.
