AN My story is not as good as other stories, but please give it a try. I have never went to New York, so I don't know the places there.
Chapter 1
Matthew's Point of View
In our history class, our teacher, Ms Jones is taking our class to a school field trip to New York for a month. One of those days, we would be going to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, while other days we just go and explore around in New York. Our teacher has reserved some rooms for us to stay, in a hotel. We would have 2 other roommates and will have to divide the money and pay ourselves. If we don't want to stay in the hotel, we can also stay in a house with a relative or friend that lives in New York.
Anyways, today we are boarding on the plane to go to New York. I got the seat next to the window, with one of my friends, Annabeth next to me. I got to admit, I was happy that she was sitting next to me because I have a huge crush on her. My other friends, Serenity, Jasmine, Alexander, and Sebastian always tell me to ask her out, but I have a feeling she doesn't like me the same way.
By the time the plane descended, I already fell asleep. I woke up, because Sebastian poured a little water on me (I guess he bought it on the plane when we were in the sky), and he told me that we already reached. I got my bag and went out of the plane. My friends (Annabeth, Sebastian, Jasmine, Serenity, and Alexander) and I met up outside the plane and went to get our baggage.
Ms Jones told us to meet at a hotel called Novatel after we got our stuff. The girls in our group went on one cab, while we boys went on another. When we reached, we waited for Ms Jones to come. After she came, she told us to go in groups of three (everyone in same gender), then go tell her who would be your roommates. Obviously, my roommates are Sebastian and Alexander. We told her, then she gave Alexander the key to our room. We took the elevator up to our floor, then went to find our room. Once we found our room, Alexander unlocked the door, and we all went inside. We unpacked, then went back to the lobby, waiting for the girls to come.
I saw the girls coming out of the elevator, so I told the boys that they reached. Alexander raised his hand and started to wave, so the girls would know where we are. They saw us and came to us.
"Has anyone cam to New York before?" Serenity asked.
"Yea, I came here many times already." Annabeth answered.
"So do you know where's the nearest coffee shop?" Serenity asked.
"I saw a Starbucks nearby, while we were coming here." Sebastian answered.
"Okay then, let's go to Starbucks." Jasmine said.
We were walking on the way to Starbucks, while Sebastian lead the way, when I saw Annabeth bump into some guy. The guy started saying, "oh I'm so sorry-".
Annabeth cut him off, "no, it's okay. It's my fault actually. I wasn't looking-".
"Annabeth?", the guy asked. Wait, they know each other?, I thought.
"Percy?" Annabeth said.
"Yea, I umm got to go. Thalia and Nico might finish the cookies mom dropped off" the guy-Percy- said.
"Wait. Dropped off? You mean, you're not living with Sally?" Annabeth asked.
"Well, not really. Our parents got us a house where we could stay. There's one extra room for you, though, since your mom is also in this." Percy explained. Her mom? Annabeth never talks about her. She said she lives with her dad and step-mom, but I kind of have a feeling that he's talking about her real mom. I wonder why they're so awkward around each other. I should ask her about it later, I thought.
"Okay, umm bye." Annabeth said.
"Bye" Percy replied, running off.
So how was the chapter. Please review and tell me what I need to improve on.
