As we walked into the apartment, we where cautious of where we set foot. There where piles of clothes and garbage scattered around the entire room.
"What are you two doing? Clean this place up! Remember, we've got our final course tomorrow!" Said Shelley.
Mike spoke forth. "Sorry, you two, I guess we just got a little carried away…" "Yeah where really sorry."
"You better be! We only have till tomorrow to unpack, clean up and get things sorted before tomorrow. We have five months in London, so please be a little discreet…" David said.
As we got unpacked and got things sorted out, we finally cleaned up the apartment and in relief, there was nothing left to clean up. For the rest of the night, we where putting on hit pop songs, partying and generally anything that is bad for our health. We stayed up late, which was obviously a terrible idea.
I was kind of in the wrong when I said that we should "Clean this place up…" But, what can you do?
"Ugh, what time is it…?" Mike said.
"Ugh, I think it's 8pm…" Lois replied.
"What? We slept in! we only have an hour to get ready!"
"Ugh, where are we?" Mike said. "What do you mean, "Where are we?" If you're not going to take these months seriously then I have no idea what to do with you three!"
They quickly rushed off in a rather awkward manner , looking like clowns but rushing off non the less.
"You're lucky I can drive…" Said Lois.
Lois, well, all of them where complete and utter slag offs, not giving a damn about their lives, completely oblivious to the world around them, but Lois in particular. She always had this tomboyish attitude which I can agree, was fairly funny, but slightly embarrassing to say the least. When ever she was around someone, she acted very tough, I could not but help crack a smile at the way she expressions her self in life. It was something everyone could get a kick out off in life.
"Are you two coming or what?" Shelley said. "We've been waiting here for over five minutes now!" Shelley said with a cross-eyed look on her face.
"Yes! Just give us a second!" Said the pair.
They stumbled in the cheap car. It was old, battered and very unpleasant to look at never the less, but something about it just felt `Right.` not comfy but just right.
"Are we ready to go?" Said David. "Yes just let me turn on the engine." Said Shelley
"Hey, why can't I drive?" Mike said.
"Because you are the most unqualified person to drive a car, that's why, besides, you couldn't even redo your drivers test because you failed so many times!" Shelley responded.
"We need to get some petrol so I'll need to go to the nearest petrol station."
They drove for at least 10 minutes before finding a near by petrol station. They had to get used to there surroundings if they wanted to live in `this` part of London. They finally finished in the petrol station and where ready to head to the photography course, ensuring they had everything they needed. They only needed a few things since the place they where going already supplied the equipment. For there final course they where going to explore the underground systems of London, we haven't received any information about how far we where
going, they haven't even sorted out if this is even legal yet, let alone something they would have wanted to do. They got to the course where they saw a bunch of happy teens who have just graduated from high school. They look like an adult, but have the minds of a child in primary school.
We got out of the car and spoke to the woman who was hosting for this afternoon.
"Hi, may I help you with anything, young man?" The tall lady looked down at David as the group backed away.
"Ugh, yes, we are the new students on the photography course…" David replied.
"Oh yes! Follow me." "You know, I don't believe we've exchanged names, my name is Mrs Swift, or Nicole if you want, what is your name?"
"My name is David, and here are my friends, Shelley, Mike and Lois."
The three finally found the strength to confront Nicole.
"Ehem… Hi…" Mike said, you would think that someone like Mike or Lois for that fact, wouldn't be afraid to approach another person. You would just think that he would be so forward, but in reality he was a very shy and introverted teen.
Mrs Swift greeted the pair of four into a room where they kept cameras, Go Pro's and other accessories.
"Now this is where we store are cameras and other equipment which we will use later before we enter the systems. Now we will need to do safety checks on you to see if you fully equipped and have the supplies you need for you journey! Now, I will be accompanying you through out this so if you get lost, we will have microphones you will be able to use, any questions?"
"Erm, yes what time do we go underground?" Shelley said.
"We go at 10:01pm, so you will have some free time to your selves, I will contact you when and where to meet up at, but for now, go and enjoy your selves!" Mrs Swift responded.
To be honest with you, I would have thought instructors in schools like these would be very strict, but I guess I was proved otherwise.
"What do we do now?" Shelley said.. "I guess the only logical thing to do is get our selves packed away ready for the course." Mike replied. "I'm surprised that fits into your vocabulary, it seems to long…" Shelley said.
Mike gave Shelley a giggle and began to move along.
"Well, let's get unpacked."
