Chapter Three
Rory was the last one to get into the bus. She stood at the front and quickly scanned the area for an empty seat. Luckily, there was one left, so Rory quickly walked over to it and sat close to the window.
"Excuse me Rory." Ms. Henkel said.
Rory looked up startled. "Oh Ms. Henkel. Umm, what can I do for you?"
"My instructions were that everyone must sit next to their partner for this project, correct?"
"Yes." Rory mumbled.
"Well, would you mind getting up and sitting next to Mr. DuGrey?" It was a demand more than a question.
"No, of course not." Rory picked up her backpack from beside her and walked over to Tristan. "Would you move over a couple inches? You're taking up the whole seat." Rory asked Tristan grumpily.
Tristan stopped talking to his friend who was sitting behind him and looked at Rory. "Sure." Tristan made space for Rory.
"Thank-you." Rory said and pulled out a book from her backpack. She began to read.
"That's a good book." Tristan said.
Rory looked up from her book, interested. "You've read Oliver Twist?"
"No, but I saw the movie and it was pretty good." Tristan said.
"Oh yeah, the movies great." Rory mumbled. She started reading again. 'This is gonna be a long day.' She thought

An hour and some later, Ms.Henkel's class filed out of the bus, anxious. They followed Ms. Henkel for five minutes until they reached a coffee shop called 'Chug-A-Mug.' "From here on class, you are going to be on your own, with your partner of course. Now listen carefully. You must stay within a two-block radius of this coffee shop. If, however, you do get lost, ask someone on the streets for directions. It may be dangerous but it's the price you must pay for your own forgetfulness. Now everyone, you must meet me back here at 2:00, now later. Being even a minute late will result in docked marks. Do not lose sight of your partner and do not come back here without a finished project. You may leave."
"So, where to first?" Tristan asked as he jogged up to a speedy Rory.
"Why don't we find some kind looking person and ask them all of the questions on the list. We'll finish that fast and we might just have some extra time. Sound good?" Rory suggested. She'd love to spend some time in New York, just for fun.
"Sounds great."
At 11:00 Rory and Tristan were done the project. "Thank-you Ms. Thomas for taking your time to answer our questions." Rory smiled at the nice lady who agreed to answer Rory's list of questions.
"Your very welcome Ms. Gilmore. I enjoyed every bit of it." And with that the 70 year old woman waved goodbye and disappeared into the flock of people walking down the sidewalk.
"So, we've got two hours. What do you wanna do?" Tristan asked.
Rory looked around. She saw a bookstore called 'Books R' Us' and immediately fell in love with it. "Let's go to that bookstore over there." Rory pointed to the bookstore she spotted.
Tristan thought for a moment and saw that there was a Radioshack next door to the bookstore. "How about I go to Radioshack while you look around in the bookstore?" Tristan suggested. "We'll meet here at 1:30."
"Great idea." Rory quickly crossed the busy street, careful to reach the other side alive. She walked into the practically empty bookstore and looked around. There were thousands of books; she was in heaven. The lady at the counter welcomed her.
Rory walked through one of the six isles and picked up a book. 'Sounds great.' She thought after reading the first chapter and neatly placed the book in her arms.
Ten minutes later, Rory had seven books in her hands that she was going to buy. She reached out to grab another book that caught her eye, but tripped over her untied shoelace, and fell onto the ground, dropping all seven of her books. Rory got up quickly and tried to regain her composure. She finally did and bent down to pick up her books. She was surprised to see another pair of hands helping her.
A/N- Please review! I'll have the next chapter up on Thursday, at the latest.
