"For today's lesson class," said Mr. Burnstone, the teacher "We are going to take a little field trip to a website developer."
The class groaned.
"But not just any website developer. It's a very popular one, that's been around for over 11 years now." Mr. Burnstone continued doing his best to make the class like the trip. But no one really cared, they were 16 year olds after all.
"This outta be good." Ree whispered to herself.
The kids boarded on the bus and sat there, for two day. Granted they did get lunch, dinner, bathroom breaks, and other things but it was like being in a cramped car with all those annoying siblings that never left you alone.
Ree was partnered up with a boy named Drake, who was the most quiet kid in class. Some peopled wondered if he was able to talk at all; some had witnessed him explaining something to the teacher with sign language.
"This is going to be interesting. I've heard the the Neopets team is starting a new plot for the site soon. And one of us is going to be in it." A girl name Cherokee said, hanging over the seat that Ree was on.
"And who told you this?" Ree asked, facing Cherokee. "Did you hack into the systems or something?"
"No, Miss Negative. My aunt used to work for Neopets. She was friends with one of the plot developers. They are still in great touch. I can give you the my aunt's number if you want to find out yourself."
"And hear a rehearsed answer? I don't think so." Ree turned toward the front again.
"It isn't rehearsed. My aunt told me all about the new plot. She said that one of us wil..."
"Be in it." Ree finished, interrupting Cherokee, "I get it, I get it. I haven't been on the site for two years. It died with my lack of interest in animal-like things made of pixels."
"But people care for animal-things made of pixels. YOU used to care for animals things made of pixels." Cherokee argued.
"Key word 'used to' my dear." Ree shot back.
"You'll be surprised when we get there Ree. You better watch out. If I would say so, YOU'LL be the one in the next site plot." Cherokee warned.
"And what are they going to do Cherry Oak? Kill me? They killed themselves and they had this Staff Championship thing in the Altador Cups TWICE!" Ree shouted back.
"Don't say I didn't warn you." Cherokee said, sitting back down. Ree huffed in her seat and glanced at Drake. He had been in the middle of the argument and hadn't done anything. He just sat there with a blank stare.
"Oh, go soak a cat in ice cold water." Ree said, not wanting to be in a happy mood at the moment. Drake did nothing to defend himself.
