PUPS SAVE ELIAS
I DON'T OWN PAW PATROL ONLY MY OC'S
The sun rose on a bright & warm Tuesday morning. Adventure Bay was waking up getting ready to start a new day. At the Vincent-Walter mansion Elias woke up & stretched out while yawning before rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, hopping out of bed & getting dressed. Then he went into the kitchen to start cooking breakfast. He decided to make some apple & cinnamon pudding. After gathering all the ingredients needed Elias began preparing the food. The delightful heavenly scent of the apples & cinnamon made Elias feel like he was in a dreamlike world of delicious confectionery treats. That's how nice they smelt.
"The scent of apples & cinnamon in the morning is such a beautiful thing. I can't wait until the puddings are ready. Everyone will love them. It'll be the perfect breakfast to kick off a wonderful day" thought Elias as he finished food preparation. He then put the puddings in the oven & waited for them to cook. As he waited a mischievous idea came to mind. Elias thought it'd be funny to prank his parents by tying a string to a cupboard door that would set off a bunch of party poppers when opened. He giggled quietly as he crept back to his room & retrieved the party poppers from his toy box. Elias then crept back to the kitchen & set up the prank by placing party poppers in the cupboards & using a long piece of string to tie them all together so that they'd all go off simultaneously when the cupboards were opened. Once the prank was set up Elias smiled mischievously & waited for the puddings to finish cooking. Once they were done he pulled them out & served them on plates. They gave off a beautiful aroma that indicated a lot of love & thought was put into it.
"These puddings are perfect. I can't wait to see how they taste. I bet they taste as good as they smell" said Elias with a satisfied smile as he proceeded to set the table. After all the cutlery & dishware were put in place the puddings were served at each seat. Elias then sat at the table & tucked in. Every bite of the pudding was delicious. It tasted sweet & had a firm but soft texture that gave it a light fluffy feel. Elias happily ate his pudding before putting his dirty dishes in the dishwasher. Just as he did that Angel, Kelly & Terry entered the kitchen having woken up.
"Good morning everyone. Did you all sleep well?" asked Elias with a warm smile.
"I sure did. Breakfast smells nice. What is it?" asked Angel in a curiously excited voice.
"Apple & cinnamon pudding. I hope you enjoy them" said Elias.
"I'm sure we will. If the aroma of them indicates anything it's that they likely have a beautiful taste" said Kelly as she licked her lips.
"They sure do. Help yourselves" said Elias.
"Don't mind if we do" said Terry as Angel, Kelly & himself helped themselves to breakfast. All of them were delighted by both the enticing aroma & taste of the puddings. It was like they were eating a slice of heaven. After they all finished eating the dirty dishes were put in the dishwasher. With breakfast finished Angel, Elias, Kelly & Terry went into the lounge to pass time before school. They snuggled up together on the couch & turned the TV on. To their delight an episode of Apollo The Super Pup was on.
"Looks like Apollo's off on another adventure" said Angel as she smiled & wagged her tail excitedly.
"Indeed. I can't wait to see what amazing achievements he accomplishes today" said Terry as Angel & himself snuggled up with Elias & Kelly. The episode showed Apollo walking along minding his own business as usual. Suddenly he heard a kitten meowing in distress.
"Sounds like another kitten is in trouble. Will Apollo be able to save the day?" asked the narrator as Apollo flew over to where the meow came from. He soon spotted Spider King terrifying a kitten by holding it over a river & threatening to dunk it into the water.
"Spider King's up to his old tricks again. Can Apollo put a stop to this dastardly scheme?" asked the narrator as Apollo leapt into action. Just as Spider King let go of the kitten & dropped it into the river Apollo made his move & flew to where the kitten was. The kitten was meowing in fear & splashing around frantically as it attempted to keep afloat. Apollo swam over to the kitten & picked it up before placing it on his back & flying back to dry land again. Once the kitten was safe Apollo flew over to Spider King & delivered a powerful punch to his face that knocked him into the river. Spider King was swept down the river struggling to return to solid ground. The kitten meowed in appreciation as it snuggled up next to Apollo. Apollo then flew off as the narrator closed out the episode.
"Once again Apollo saves the day his own way" said the narrator as the episode ended. Angel & Terry smiled in excitement & satisfaction at the way the episode turned out.
"That was a fantastic episode. I bet Rubble & the other pups loved it as much as we did" said Angel.
"More than likely. If there's any pup that can always save the day, it's Apollo" said Terry.
"Agreed. Let's see what else is on TV" said Elias as he grabbed the remote & started flicking through the channels looking for something to watch.
"I hope there's something good on" said Kelly as Elias & her checked to see what was playing on each channel. Moments later they all heard a series of loud pops followed by a scream & a cry of pain. When Angel, Elias, Kelly & Terry went to investigate they saw that Ella, Ethan, Harry & Susie had woken up & were in the kitchen. Ella had gone to open the cupboard to retrieve a coffee mug & in doing so she set off Elias' party popper prank. The sudden shock caused her to jump back resulting in her falling to the floor & hurting her elbow.
"WHO DID THIS?" yelled Ella as she held her elbow trying to soothe the pain.
"I did. How did that happen?" asked Elias as he tilted his head in confusion.
"That's not important. This little prank wasn't funny. You need to apologise for causing this to happen" said Ethan as he shot a stern glare at Elias.
"Why should I apologise for that? How ridiculous. It's not my fault mum hurt herself" said Elias in a defensive voice.
"You set up the prank so that means you're responsible for the consequences" said Harry as he gave Elias a stern look.
"That's a lie. I refuse to be held accountable for something I didn't do" said Elias as he looked at the adults with anger.
"Elias that's enough. Either you apologise, or you'll be punished" said Susie in a blunt tone.
"You're not my mother. I refuse to apologise for something this stupid. You can all go jump off a cliff" said Elias as he grabbed his schoolbag & stormed out to the limo. Everyone was shocked. They never would've expected Elias to act so rudely. Angel & Kelly also headed out to the limo after grabbing their stuff. Neither of them felt happy with Elias' behaviour at all. As soon as they began the ride to school they immediately confronted him about it.
"The way you talked to your parents was disgusting Elias. How can you be so cold?" asked Angel as she glared at Elias.
"Get off my back. I don't get why everyone's getting so butthurt over a stupid prank. Get over it" said Elias as he sighed in frustration.
"You caused your mother to get hurt. I'm disappointed in you. Do you really think your behaviour right now is OK? I don't think it is" said Kelly in an angry tone.
"It's her own fault for not being more careful. I really don't want to have to put up with your whiny behaviour today. Don't forget we have a field trip to Adventure Bay Museum. The last thing I need is for you to ruin the day with trivial complaints" said Elias.
"Why are you acting like such a jerk? We haven't done anything to you & for some reason you think we're being nasty to you. Grow up Elias. You're 10 years old not 10 months old" said Angel as she sneered at Elias.
"Bad dog. Stop your barking or I'll put a muzzle on you" said Elias in a sinister manner.
"You're being an idiot. If this is how you want to act, then fine. All you're doing is making yourself look like a fool" said Kelly.
"Whatever. I don't care" said Elias as he rolled his eyes. He didn't understand why Angel & Kelly were being so hard on him. Soon they arrived at school. As usual all the kids swarmed around wanting autographs & selfies. As Elias signed autographs & took selfies with everyone Angel & Kelly stood back feeling disgusted. They were both angry at Elias for being so callous & remorseless over causing Ella to get hurt from his prank.
"Whatever it is that's motivating Elias to be so disrespectful & rude we have to get to the bottom of it. I don't want to have to put up with bratty behaviour for nothing" said Angel.
"Me either. I want to slap him in the face. I swear that's what I'll do if he keeps acting up" said Kelly.
"I feel bad for Ella. She didn't deserve what happened to her this morning. I don't know what Elias was thinking setting up such a juvenile prank like that" said Angel.
"I bet it was probably for cheap thrills. In the end it wasn't funny & nobody's laughing. There'll be serious consequences for him if he doesn't stop. The sooner he realises that the better" said Kelly.
Soon the bell rang indicating that school had begun. Everyone went to their lockers to grab their stuff for 1ST period. Usually Angel, Elias & Kelly would hold idle conversation with each other but today not a word was said as they walked to class. The tension in the air was so thick it could've been cut with 100 knives. Once they arrived at class & sat down Miss Spearwood began doing the roll call. When she called out Elias' name he responded by saying that his new name was Big Willy McFartypants. This confused everyone in class.
"Elias why are you calling yourself that?" asked Miss Spearwood in a confused voice.
"My name is Big Willy McFartypants. That's what I want to be called" said Elias.
"Elias stop being a dumbass. You've been acting stupid all morning. Cut it out" said Kelly in an annoyed tone.
"Why are you being such a drama queen Kelly?" asked Elias as he feigned confusion.
"Don't turn this around on me. I'm not having it. You're really starting to piss me off. Grow up & act your age" said Kelly as she glared angrily at Elias. Elias rolled his eyes.
"Whatever" said Elias as he folded his arms. Nobody was sure what was going on. Ultimately, they just brushed it off & got the roll call done. After the roll was complete Miss Spearwood addressed the class.
"OK everyone for today's field trip you'll need to bring your books & pencils to take notes. Once you've gathered your stuff I want you to walk out to the bus in an orderly fashion" said Miss Spearwood.
Everyone proceeded to grab their things before walking out to the bus. Nobody said anything as they went out the front & waited to board. Once Miss Spearwood got to the bus she counted heads to make sure that everyone was there. Ultimately all the students were lined up ready to go.
"OK class I'd like you to board the bus 1 at a time. Try & fill up the front seats 1ST. Except for the back row only 2 people can sit in each seat. 5 of you can sit up the back. While the bus is in motion don't stand up or mess around. Anyone who does will face consequences" said Miss Spearwood.
All the students proceeded to board the bus filling up the seats from the front to the back. Elias & Kelly ended up sitting next to each other in the middle of the bus. Once everyone was seated Mr Hudson began driving.
"Next stop Adventure Bay Museum" said Mr Hudson as he drove through Adventure Bay. As everyone sat on the bus looking out the windows & talking to each other Elias began playing with Kelly's hair by twirling it around his fingers. Kelly wasn't happy about it & pulled her hair away from his hands.
"Cut it out" said Kelly in a frustrated voice.
"What's your problem? Don't be a Sour Sally" said Elias.
"You're really irritating me right now. Leave me alone" said Kelly as she turned to look out the window. Elias gently shoved her elbow causing her to snap.
"STOP" yelled Kelly causing everyone to look at Elias & herself.
"What's wrong Kelly?" asked Miss Spearwood.
"Elias keeps touching me & it's making me uncomfortable" said Kelly.
"She's just being a Sour Sally. Just ignore her" said Elias.
"Elias keep your hands to yourself. If Kelly doesn't want you touching her, leave her alone" said Miss Spearwood.
"Whatever" said Elias as he rolled his eyes. Everyone was conflicted by Elias' immature behaviour. He was almost always well behaved & none of them had any idea why he was acting up. Soon everyone arrived at Adventure Bay Museum. They got off the bus & waited out the front of the museum. Before they went inside Miss Spearwood went over what she expected of the students.
"I want you all to be on your best behaviour today. No running off on your own. If you need to go to the restrooms or leave the group for any other legitimate reason let me know. As you walk around don't touch the exhibits. Look with your eyes not your hands. Make sure to take plenty of notes as it'll help with your latest assignment. Lunch will be provided in the museum restaurant at 12:00. We'll be leaving at 2:30 to return to school. Does everyone understand?" asked Miss Spearwood in a curious tone.
"Yes Miss Spearwood" said the students.
"Excellent. Let's go" said Miss Spearwood as everyone went inside. Elias then began feeling the urge to fart. He smiled mischievously as he proceeded to let rip as loud as he could. Everyone groaned in disgust as he laughed.
"I told you I was Big Willy McFartypants" said Elias with a cheeky grin.
"Elias that's not funny. If you continue acting up there will be consequences" said Miss Spearwood in a stern manner.
"Everybody farts. It's a natural thing. I shouldn't be punished for it" said Elias in a defensive voice.
"You didn't need to do it loudly on purpose. Stop acting up" said Miss Spearwood.
Elias rolled his eyes. He didn't care what Miss Spearwood said. Everyone was beginning to get annoyed with Elias' behaviour. They weren't sure what was motivating him to be naughty & all of them felt like he was making a fool of not only himself but the entire class as well. Everyone then continued through the museum. The 1ST exhibit they came across was the dinosaur exhibit. Giant Tyrannosaurus Rex, Triceratops, Iguanodon, Allosaurus & other skeletal remains of dinosaurs could be seen everywhere. Everyone looked at them in awe.
"OK everyone we'll be in this exhibit for 15 minutes. While we're here I want you to go around taking notes about everything you can find out about the dinosaurs. I'll let you know when we're moving on to the next exhibit" said Miss Spearwood.
All the students began going around looking for all the information they could gather. In front of each exhibit there was a plaque which had vital information about the dinosaurs written on it. Everyone copied down the info into their notebooks as they walked around. Elias didn't bother writing much of anything down. He wasn't interested in the dinosaur exhibit.
"Why did we have to start in here 1ST? This is easily the most boring exhibit in the entire museum. I think I'll find another exhibit that's fun. Goodbye dinosaurs" thought Elias as he walked out of the exhibit. He proceeded to check the map of the museum to see which exhibit was more fun for him. After a few minutes he noticed an exhibit that included virtual reality experiences which caught his interest.
"That looks like fun. Virtual reality here I come" said Elias as he headed in the direction of the virtual reality exhibit. Back in the dinosaur exhibit everyone was still taking notes about the dinosaurs. None of them had even noticed Elias leave. Once the 15-minute period was up Miss Spearwood called out to everyone.
"Time's up class. Please join me over here" said Miss Spearwood as she stood near the entrance to the exhibit that joined it to the foyer. All the students came over & waited to continue to the next exhibit. When Miss Spearwood counted heads, she noticed that Elias wasn't there.
"Where's Elias?" asked Miss Spearwood with confusion in her voice.
"I bet he probably ran off. I'll go look for him" said Angel.
"Me too. Someone needs to talk sense into him" said Kelly as she huffed in frustration.
"I'll join you 2. We'll be right back" said Ryder as Angel, Kelly & himself went looking for Elias. Meanwhile Elias had come across the virtual reality exhibit which was filled with headsets & controllers. Each of them offered a different VR experience which made Elias excited.
"This exhibit is like a video game arcade. Let's see what I should try 1ST" said Elias with an excited smile as he looked around to see what types of simulations there were. Soon he noticed a VR exhibit with a video game theme to it. Elias walked over to it & put it on. He noticed that the simulation was set in a pixelated world with all kinds of obstacles in it including spikes, pitfalls, dropping overhead blocks, hostile bugs & more.
"I like what I see. Let's get this party started" said Elias as he began the simulation. He used the controller to walk, jump, duck & attack as he walked along. Elias felt like he was in the middle of a video game.
"Imagine if there were video games made like this. That'd make console gaming even better. I bet this simulation has all kinds of great things in it. I hope I can make it all the way through" said Elias as he continued walking around in the simulation. Meanwhile Angel, Kelly & Ryder were looking around the museum for Elias. None of them had any idea where Elias had gone.
"I'm surprised that Elias would just run off like this. Then again considering the way he's been acting today I suppose it's not that much of a surprise" said Angel as she looked around to see if she could spot Elias.
"I think his behaviour is appalling. Just because a silly little prank of his went wrong doesn't give him the right to act like a complete fool. There's almost nothing I can think of that'd explain his behaviour" said Kelly.
"Maybe he's been having a bad day & this is his way of releasing the frustration" said Ryder in a somewhat reassuring voice.
"I doubt it. Prior to this morning I hadn't noticed any unusual behaviour. It has to be over what happened this morning" said Kelly.
"What I don't understand is why he refused to apologise for causing Ella to hurt her elbow & why he even bothered playing the prank in the 1ST place. Sometimes Elias can be very enigmatic" said Angel.
"Once we find him we're getting answers. I refuse to play his mind games. It's not funny & all he's doing is making himself look like a fool" said Kelly as she clenched her fists in anger.
He must be around here somewhere. Let's keep looking" said Ryder as Angel, Kelly & himself checked through the exhibits to see if they could find Elias. After 20 minutes of searching through the entire museum they found him in the VR exhibit. Elias had just finished the video game simulation & was about to try another when he spotted Angel, Kelly & Ryder.
"Looks like the dinosaur exhibit bored you 3 to death as well. I'm not surprised. Let's check out the rest of the simulations" said Elias with a smirk.
"No. Everyone else is wondering where you are. Why did you sneak off? That was a bad decision" said Angel as she gave Elias a harsh glare.
"Sure, it was. I don't get why everyone's being such Sour Sally's today. Lighten up" said Elias in an annoyed tone.
"We're annoyed because you're acting stupid. Save yourself the trouble & just admit that you were wrong to prank your parents & act up. Stop trying to make it look like we're all being jerks. We haven't done anything to deserve poor treatment from you" said Kelly as she sneered at Elias.
"How am I treating you poorly? You lashed out on the bus because I was playing with your hair. All I'm trying to do is liven up the day & everyone's getting mad at me for it. It's not my fault you're all misinterpreting my behaviour" said Elias in a defensive manner.
"We're not misinterpreting it. There was no need for you to call yourself Big Willy McFartypants, fart loudly on purpose or run off by yourself. You're better than that Elias. Stop messing around & come back to the dinosaur exhibit with us" said Ryder.
"No thanks. I'd rather stay here than bore myself with dinosaur bones" said Elias.
"You don't have a choice. You're coming with us whether you like it or not" said Kelly in a frustrated voice as she grabbed Elias' arm & tried to take him back to the dinosaur exhibit. Elias jerked back violently causing Kelly to fall to the ground.
"WHAT THE HELL? WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" yelled Kelly at the top of her lungs.
"That's your own fault for trying to literally drag me out of here. You wouldn't have fallen if you hadn't done that" said Elias in a nonchalant tone. Kelly growled in anger as she got to her feet. She then walked over to Elias & slapped him in the face. This only made Elias mad. He pushed her back with such force that she banged her knee on the floor. Kelly cried out in pain as she held her knee.
"YOU JERK. APOLOGISE RIGHT NOW" yelled Kelly.
"Next time you'll think twice about slapping me in the face" said Elias as he glared at Kelly. Ryder clenched his fists in anger before walking over to Elias & punching him in the crotch. Elias cried out in agony as he keeled over.
"SERIOUSLY? THAT WAS UNCALLED FOR" yelled Elias as he curled up on the floor in pain.
"No, it wasn't. You deserved that. If I were you I'd be ashamed of myself. Kelly's your girlfriend & you're treating her like dirt. How dare you lay your hands on her in an aggressive & violent way. A good boyfriend would never do that. I'm done with this. We're out of here" said Ryder in an angry voice as he grabbed Elias by the collar & literally dragged him all the way back to the dinosaur exhibit with Angel & Kelly right behind. When they all got back to the dinosaur exhibit they saw that Miss Spearwood & the other students were still waiting for them. Miss Spearwood was shocked to see Ryder literally dragging Elias across the floor. She had no idea what was going on.
"Ryder why are you dragging Elias like that?" asked Miss Spearwood as she tilted her head in confusion.
"He was being stupid & refusing to come back willingly. When he got violent with Kelly I stepped in & hit him where hit hurts" said Ryder.
"Are you OK Kelly?" asked Miss Spearwood with uncertainty.
"Yes. Other than a sore knee I feel fine. Elias has been acting up ever since before school this morning. It's all over a juvenile prank he played on his parents that caused his mum to hurt her elbow. He refused to apologise thinking that he didn't do anything wrong" said Kelly as she glared angrily at Elias.
"I'm disappointed in you Elias. You know better than that. This is your last warning. If you act up again, you'll have after school detention" said Miss Spearwood in a stern voice.
"I'll make sure he stays in line. He's not sneaking off again with me here" said Angel.
"Thanks Angel. Let's continue to the next exhibit" said Miss Spearwood as she & the students went into the next room. The theme of the next exhibit was Ancient Egypt. This exhibit contained replicas of pyramids, the Sphinx, mummies & scarab beetles amongst other ancient Egyptian artefacts. All the students went around trying to get as much information from the exhibits as possible. Elias wasn't really interested in checking out the exhibit but since Angel had her eyes glued to him he knew it'd be impossible to sneak away again.
"This really sucks. Why can't I just stay in the VR exhibit? At least that's fun. This exhibit isn't even that exciting. I can already tell today's going to be a long day" thought Elias as he growled in frustration. Everyone spent 15 minutes in the Ancient Egypt exhibit before moving on. Throughout the rest of the morning everyone visited various exhibits including Amazon Adventure, Sky High, Deep Blue Sea, Winter Wonderland & so on. They all spent 15 minutes in each exhibit taking notes about everything they could find. Elias put little effort into taking notes. He was almost completely uninterested in the exhibits he & the others visited.
"This field trip is such a snooze fest. I wish today's field trip was something we could enjoy. Hopefully we'll be out of here soon. I'd rather be at school than here. The sooner we get back to school the better" thought Elias as the day went on. Soon enough it was time for lunch. Everyone headed to the museum restaurant to eat. Once they arrived Miss Spearwood addressed everyone.
"OK class during lunch you'll be sitting 4 to a table. Nobody can leave until everyone is finished. We'll finish off the field trip after lunch. Please grab a tray & line-up" said Miss Spearwood.
All the students proceeded to grab lunch trays & lined up to get their lunch. The food given included roast potatoes, roast beef, vegetables, apple/orange juice & brownies. After the students were given their lunch they went to sit at the tables that were set throughout the dining area. After Elias got his food he looked around for Ryder. After spotting him sitting at a table a short distance away Elias walked over to him. He was mad that Ryder had punched him in the crotch earlier & decided to dump his juice on him.
"Ryder's going to regret punching me in the crotch. Let's see how he likes it when people mess with him. Soon he'll know what it feels like to be humiliated" thought Elias as he walked over to where Ryder was sitting. As he got close he grabbed his orange juice carton & opened it in preparation. He then stood behind Ryder & tipped his juice on him. Ryder was understandably annoyed at being soaked with juice. He stood up & flipped Elias' food tray out of his hands glaring angrily at him.
"WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM? STOP ACTING LIKE A BRAT" yelled Ryder as everyone turned to see what was going on.
"Maybe next time you'll think twice about punching people in the crotch" said Elias in a blunt tone.
"You're being a bully right now Elias. I don't know why you're acting like this, but it needs to stop. If you think you're being funny you're not" said Kelly as she glared angrily at Elias.
"Stay out of this Kelly. It doesn't involve you" said Elias.
"Don't talk to her like that. Your treatment of Kelly today has been extremely shameful" said Ryder in a stern voice. '
"What are you going to do about it pinecone?" asked Elias as he shoved Ryder back. Ryder kept his balance as he clenched his fists in anger.
"THAT'S IT. YOU'RE DEAD MEAT" yelled Ryder as he tackled Elias to the ground. They both began tumbling around as everyone watched in shock. Elias threw punches at Ryder who was pulling Elias' hair.
"GET OFF ME YOU LUNATIC" yelled Elias as he continued punching Ryder with all his strength.
"YOU STARTED IT" yelled Ryder as he continued pulling Elias' hair. Miss Spearwood walked over & managed to separate Elias & Ryder. She was angry about their behaviour.
"That's enough you 2. Both of you have after school detention. This behaviour is disgraceful. I'm disappointed in both of you" said Miss Spearwood in a stern manner. Elias rolled his eyes as Ryder glared angrily at him. Kelly was also disgusted with Elias' behaviour. She'd had enough.
"You brought this on yourself Elias. Look where your immaturity got you. I hope you're pleased with yourself" said Kelly as she glared angrily at Elias.
"I don't care. Detention's not the worst punishment I can get" said Elias in a nonchalant voice. Everyone shook their heads in frustration before the mess was cleaned up. Soon lunch was over & everyone continued visiting the exhibits. Just as they did before they all took notes to help with the next assignment. Angel continued keeping a close eye on Elias to make sure he didn't try anything stupid. She wasn't sure how to get Elias under control.
"It's not going to be easy keeping Elias in line. He can be very headstrong & stubborn when he's in a bad mood. Even so I'm not going to let him intimidate me. If he thinks I'm going to back down he's wrong. I refuse to let him get the best of me" thought Angel as she stuck by Elias' side. The last few exhibits everyone visited were Techno World, Family Farm, Retro City & Gladiator Galore. Elias didn't bother taking much notes during the rest of the field trip. To him it was all boring.
"I'm so glad we're going back to school soon. That way I'm not going to be so bored. I couldn't care less about having detention either. It's not that bad. I bet it'll be over & done with faster than expected. It'd be better than this boring field trip. I eagerly await a nice quiet room to think to myself in" thought Elias as he wrote minimal notes about the exhibits. Soon enough it was time to head back to school. Everyone headed out to the front where Miss Spearwood counted heads to make sure everyone was there. Once the head count was done everyone boarded the bus & took their seats. Elias was forced to sit next to Miss Spearwood so that he wouldn't act up. As soon as everyone boarded the bus Mr Hudson began driving back to Adventure Bay Elementary.
"Back to school we go" said Mr Hudson as he drove away from the museum. While the other kids had idle conversation with each other Elias stared out the window. He just wanted to get back to school.
"Finally, we're going back to school. What a slow day it's been. Almost nothing exciting happened whatsoever. Hopefully the rest of the afternoon won't be so bad. As long as I can find something to keep occupied with I'll be fine" thought Elias as he looked at everything he saw through the window that went past. Soon the bus arrived back at school again. Everyone disembarked & headed to class after Miss Spearwood double checked that nobody was missing. Once everyone arrived at class they sat at their desks to wait for Miss Spearwood to explain what they'd be doing.
"OK class for today's lesson I'd like you all to complete the worksheet I'm handing out. You've got all lesson to do it" said Miss Spearwood as she handed out the worksheets. The activity on it was a crossword puzzle relating to museums. Everyone started working on them as soon as they were handed their sheets. Elias didn't bother filling it in. He was uninterested in the museum theme.
"Yet again we have to be bored to death with museum garbage. I hope detention comes soon. That'd be enjoyable compared to this. Good things come to those who wait. I'm perfectly fine waiting until the end of the day. It doesn't bother me at all" thought Elias as he sat at his desk barely moving. He listened to songs in his head to pass the time. Doing so actually helped time go by a lot quicker. Soon enough the bell rang signalling the end of the day.
"OK see you tomorrow everyone. Elias & Ryder you 2 are staying here until 5:00 for detention" said Miss Spearwood as everyone else packed up their stuff & left.
"Thanks for wasting my afternoon Elias" said Ryder in a sarcastic voice.
"You're welcome" said Elias as he just stared forward not even acknowledging Ryder. Miss Spearwood sat at her desk after closing the door to the room once the other students left.
"Since you're in detention you must sit at your desks until I say you can leave. You can't get up from your seat for any reason, no talking & you're not allowed to do any schoolwork or any other activities. If you break those rules, you'll be given recess detention tomorrow" said Miss Spearwood as she looked at Elias & Ryder. Elias just shrugged it off & began listening to songs in his head to pass the time. Ryder slumped over his desk with his arms folded & head resting on them. He was mad that Elias had gotten him in trouble for little to no reason.
"It's not fair that I get in trouble for Elias' bad behaviour. He wouldn't like it if I got him in trouble for no reason. If he keeps acting up I won't have any problems knocking some sense into him. He's treading on very thin ice right now. I refuse to put up with his immaturity anymore. Sooner or later he'll realise how stupid he's been acting. The sooner he does the better" thought Ryder as he silently growled in frustration. He decided to try & get some shuteye hoping that'd make time go by faster. Miss Spearwood kept a close eye on both Elias & Ryder as detention went on. She wanted to make sure neither of them acted up. Luckily, they both seemed to be asleep as Elias appeared to be slouching in his chair & Ryder was still slumped over his desk. Eventually 5:00 rolled around meaning that detention was over.
"OK it's 5:00. You're free to go" said Miss Spearwood.
Elias & Ryder both got up from their seats, grabbed their stuff & left school. They both went their separate ways not bothering to talk to each other due to the tension in the air. As Elias walked home he thought about how slow the day had been & that he was glad to be able to go home & do what he wanted.
"I'm glad now that I have the evening to do whatever it is I feel like. That'll end the day on a high note. After the mostly boring day I've had it'd be nice to just unwind & take it easy. That's the best way to spend any evening" thought Elias as he continued walking. Soon he arrived home & went straight inside. Everyone was getting ready to eat dinner.
"Look who it is. It's Mr I'm A Jackass Who Thinks That Acting Up Is Cool" said Kelly in a mocking voice.
"Shut up. Don't make me come over there & throw you to the ground again" said Elias as he glared at Kelly.
"Kelly told us everything you did today. We're all disappointed in you Elias. I'm still waiting for an apology over that childish prank this morning" said Ella in a stern tone.
"Why should I apologise for your clumsiness? You can't blame me for you getting hurt. That was your own fault" said Elias in a defensive voice.
"You're the 1 that set up the prank which caused Ella to get hurt. You're the only 1 responsible for that" said Ethan.
"If mum had been more careful she wouldn't have fallen over" said Elias.
"You've been very naughty today Elias. The fact that you pushed Kelly to the floor & started a fight with Ryder is appalling. How could you treat your best friend & girlfriend so poorly?" asked Harry.
"Kelly was trying to drag me around like a heavy bag & Ryder punched me in the crotch. Is that not justifiable?" asked Elias.
"No, it's not. You ran off for some reason forcing Angel, Kelly & Ryder to go get you & you poured orange juice on Ryder & started the fight by shoving him. Why are you being so selfish? Stop trying to make it look like everyone else is wrong. You're the 1 that's wrong in this situation Elias. I suggest you get your act together & stop acting like a fool. You're only making things worse on yourself by acting up" said Susie.
"Whatever. Let's just eat" said Elias as he rolled his eyes. Everyone shook their heads in frustration as they sat down to eat. They were having beef stew. At 1ST the meal seemed to be normal but then Elias began chewing mouthfuls of food which he proceeded to spit back onto his plate in an obnoxious manner. Everyone quickly became annoyed with his rude manners.
"Elias that's disgusting. Eat your food. You're 10 years old not 10 months old. Only babies spit their food out like that" said Kelly in an annoyed tone. Elias just laughed. Ella stood up & slammed her hands against the table.
"THAT'S ENOUGH ELIAS. YOU CAN SLEEP IN THE GUEST ROOM TONIGHT. GO TO BED. I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU FOR THE REST OF NIGHT" yelled Ella at the top of her voice.
"That's fine with me" said Elias as he smirked & left the table before heading to the guest room. Ella then broke down in tears. She was angry, confused, sad & upset over Elias' poor behaviour.
"I don't get it. What is it that's making Elias act so bratty? It makes no sense" said Ella through her tears.
"You don't think he's going through a mood swing or phase, do you?" asked Ethan in a confused voice as he tried to console Ella.
"I doubt it. I think his behaviour was triggered by what happened this morning" said Harry.
"I hope tomorrow he comes to his senses & makes amends. Otherwise he's only going to get in worse trouble" said Susie.
Everyone continued to eat dinner in peace. Meanwhile Elias went & had a shower before changing into his pyjamas & getting into bed. As he lay awake he thought about what had happened that day.
"I don't get why people are getting so worked up over such little things. It's just ridiculous. Hopefully tomorrow they'll all calm down & not make a mountain out of a molehill. That'll help diffuse the situation. Right now, I think it's best I get a good night's sleep. I'm going to need all the energy I can get for tomorrow" thought Elias as he drifted off to sleep.
