I'll Fix You (EDITING)

chapter 8

Ari's POV

Today seems more sunny, the air feels fresher, I don't know what, but something about today makes me feel happy for a change as to my usual sappy sad self. And that makes me feel weird, but its a kind of weird that I embrace, a kind of weird I wish I felt more often, I love it. Maybe I should not be feeling so excited, I mean I'm only going to attend a weekend class, whats so exciting about that, right?, I should be scared of the troubles that the day might bring later on, but I'm not, at least for now I'd like to think of my life as close to perfect, like nothing can go wrong, I'd like to enjoy this feeling for a little while longer.

Ms molly had informed us that we would meet up at school first to discuss and arrange ourselves for the activities she has planned for the day, then we would begin our journey from there, and according to her 'its going to be a very exciting journey', and I'm yet to find out why. Finally getting closer to the school, i'm absolutely tired because I missed the bus so I had to walk, the nerves I had been pushing down finally find a way to surface, and I become aware of just how much could go wrong today and I become really nervous, but I don't let it dampen my mood, I'm not letting anything spoil today, not today.

On reaching the school's gate, I'm not surprised by the very little amount of students that showed up, in fact, I'm shocked that these ones are even willing to sacrifice their weekend for this trip, I thought they'd have plans to hang out with friends or something like that, I was kinda hoping I would be the only one attending today, but I guess it won't be that bad, there's only about six people here adding myself would make it seven plus the teacher eight altogether, I can handle that.

Taking a deep breath and exhaling shakingly, I pull the gate as quietly as possible hoping to draw little to no attention to myself, and fortunately for me I succeed, and I step in keeping my head down while walking towards the small gathering consisting of a very chirpy as always Ms molly, speaking to a set of bored crowd who look like they'd rather be anywhere than here right now, which still confuses me, if they don't want to be here, then why are they?.

I don't draw too much attention when I finally reach the gathering, only a few glance but that's it, but with my hair down, and my hoodie covering my face i barely notice any of them.

"Ugh she speaks too much its annoying." I hear one of the two girls in front of me say.

"I know right, I swear I don't want to be here but my mum's so convinced that the class will secretly give extra credits and she doesn't want me missing out, like I care." girl two says

"My dad wants me here just so I won't be in the house, he says he wants me to participate, but I know he secretly wants to get down with my mum." Girl one says, causing them both to giggle, and me wishing I didn't just here what was just said. But it also helps me focus on Ms Molly's overly excited way of giving instructions.

"OK isn't this so exciting, we're about to go out for some nature site seeing, make out discoveries, with friends, oh!!, you can take pictures and post them on those platforms you guys use so much these days, yeah what are they called again?, Instagram or instagam, well you get what I'm saying so...." She just continues her rambling, and I now understand why everyone looks so bored.

"Oh Eric, so nice of you to finally join us" she says making me snap my gaze to the direction of the gate, which I didn't even notice had been open, revealing a, not surprisingly, hard faced but still gorgeous Eric in all his glory.

Eric does nothing to acknowledge her greetings, he just comes towards the gathering, towards the back, yes the same back which I currently am but a few steps away, and he stands with a face showing how uninterested he actually is about what's going on.
