Chapter 1

We don't own RENT

Roger's POV…

It had been about a month into fifth grade, and Roger Davis actually couldn't wait until this day. It was the day they went on their fifth grade camping trip for three days. He had heard about it ever since he was in kindergarten, and now it was finally his turn.

He hurried out the door with his suitcase, backpack, and his other things. He waited impatiently for the bus to roll down the street. When it finally did he ran up the step (well as fast as a boy carrying three bags could) and to the back seats. Mark was already on, like usual.

"Hey Marky!" Roger greeted him cheerfully.

"Hey Rog," Mark answered in a condescending tone.

"Dude, what's wrong?" Roger asked laying his stuff in his seat.

"We go on the camping trip today,"

"Dude, I don't know about you, but for me that's a good thing,"

"Not for me,"

"Why?"

"There's a lot of bugs, and 'm very allergic to them, so I'll be itching the whole time,"

"Sorry Marky," Roger said looking out at the road as they stopped to pick up his other friend, Collins.

Collins' POV…

Collins ran onto the bus with his huge back-pack on his back.

"Hey guys," he said his voice cracking form the heaviness of the back-pack. He set in down and sat down next to it.

"Collins, Marky doesn't want to go, can you believe that?" Roger said leaning inching towards his friends.

"Ehh, I heard Maureen doesn't want to go either," Collins replied rubbing his shoulder.

"What is up with these people?" Roger asked running his hand through his hazel colored hair.

"I dunno," Collins said sitting back in his seat and closing his eyes.

Maureen's POV…

Maureen walked to her classroom in the mobile, pulling her suitcase behind her. She looked back at her mother's car. Her mother gave a sympathetic look, and drove away. Maureen flipped her curly hair over her shoulder and walked to the classroom.

When she got in it was total chaos. People were sitting on their desks, yelling at each other just to be heard, and everybody was showing what they brought in their suitcases. Maureen pulled her suit-case over to her desk and sat down quietly.

"Hey Mo!" Mimi shouted as her and Joanne walked over to Maureen's desk.

"Hello," she said in a small voice.

"Aren't you excited?" Joanne asked as her and Mimi sat down on her desk.

"No,"

"Why not?"

"I just don't want to go, okay" Maureen said bringing her voice up a little.

"Okay, geeze,"

"Hmph," Maureen sighed flipping her hair.

Angel's POV…

Angel sat on his desk looking over at Roger and Collins trying to convince Mark the trip was going to be fun, and then at Mimi and Joanne talking about how excited they were. He caught a glimpse of Maureen sitting at her desk alone flipping her hair frequently and putting on red lipstick. He walked over to her quietly and sat in the chair next to her.

"Hey," he said.

"Hi," she said quickly.

"What's wrong?" Angel asked.

"I don't want to go on this stupid trip," Maureen said trying not to sound like she was complaining.

"Come on Maureen it'll be fun," Angel persuaded, Maureen smiled.

"Okay, I'll try to have some fun,"

Nobody's POV…

They walked out to the buses and loaded up all of their things.

"Okay we're gonna need seven people to be on this bus!" Mrs. Pratcher yelled.

"We will!" Roger yelled pulling Mark and Collins behind him.

"So will we!" Mimi and Joanne said.

"I will," Maureen said quietly. "Angel do you want to come?"

"Sure," Angel said.

And they all loaded up on the bus with Roger in the last seat (well last seat that people could sit in that wasn't luggage), Collins was across from him, Mimi in front of Collins and Joanne across from her, Angel in front of Mimi, and Maureen in front of Joanne, and then Mark was behind the smelly old bus driver.

"This is gonna be fun!" Roger exclaimed.
