Catharine was sitting there with the rest of her senior class waiting for the assembly to begin. But this was no normal assembly, this was the one where the senior class would find out where there senior trip would be held. She sat there alone biting her nails; she was stucco president so she already knew where the class was going. It was her V.P.'s idea to go to Vegas and Catharine wasn't exactly sure it was a good idea. The school broad had agreed but only because of how they had spun it talking about the educational value of the area (Lake Mead, elephant rock, the dame, etc.), but Catharine new perfectly well there would be no such sightseeing by her peers.
"And now it is my privilege to introduce the girl who made this senior trip possible, to tell you herself where the trip will take place, Catharine Neal!!" said the principle making Catharine feel like a Carney of some sort. She took a deep breath, put on her best fake peppy smile, and walked out onto the stage.
"Hey everyone, how's goin'?!" she said taking the mike with both hands. A loud uproar of applause scattered the gym, some from people who really liked her, but most from impatient kids wanting to know already. "Well we all know why I'm out here…to announce the destination of our SENIOR TRIP!!!" more applause, man she knew how to get a crowd pumped. "We will be going on a weeklong trip to……VEGAS!!!! And there it was they went crazy jumping, stomping, high-fiving, huggin, and making plans. "Okay! Okay! I know you all are excited, but make sure to grab an info packet on your was out, we leave Sunday afternoon at noon see you there!!" and that was that, Catharine jumped down off the stage getting "thanks prez", "you rock", and pats on the back. She nodded and started to make her way to the parking lot.
