The Hunt for the Perfect Storm

Chapter 3: School Trip.

A few days later in school preparations were being made for the trip. Most of the permission slips were now in and only a few people were going. Mr Smith had separated the class into two parts. At one side of the room was the students who were going on the trip, and on the other side of the room the people who weren't going were looking at what work they were going to do why the others were away.

The trip was a bit of a holiday for the ones that were going really. They were going to stay in Oklahoma with some storm chasers to find out more about severe storms. "Ok class," started Mr Smith, I'm just going to do a quick check of who is and isn't going on this trip. Ok. Kirsty, Beth, Fay, Rachel, Laura, Stephanie, Kitty, David, Paul and Daniel; you are all going on the trip am I right? And the rest of you aren't going."

"Yes Sir," the relevant people replied.

"Good, Miss Whitehouse will be accompanying us on the trip and miss Williams will take the classes for those of you that are staying behind. So don't get any ideas about skiving or anything you lot."

"A lot of groans were heard from the class. "That just sucks," said somebody, "just because we ain't going on the trip we gotta work while those goody-two-shoes get to mess about and have an holiday abroad. It's just not fair."

The day of the trip drew nearer. When it finally came the pupils were really excited. "I am like so excited about tomorrow," sad Kitty over the Internet.

"Me too," replied Kirsty.

The two had become quite close friends over the short time since they'd met. They spent lots of time shopping, studying together and even chatting on the Internet with each other at night. Kitty told Kirsty all about her past at the Xavier institute. She deliberately left out the part of her being able to phase through walls and the other mutants powers. She wasn't sure Kirsty would understand that just yet.

The morning of the trip arrived and the people going all met by the school mini-bus. Mr Smith did a quick register to make sure everyone was present before they set off. "Kirsty?"

"Yes Sir,"

"Beth?"

"Yes Sir,"

"Fay?"

"Yes Sir,"

With the register complete they all jumped into the bus and headed towards Birmingham International Airport. It took them approximately an hour to get there. Once inside they checked in and went to the waiting room to wait for their flight to be called. Two hours later and there flight was boarding. "Flight 695 to Oklahoma City now boarding, flight 695 to Oklahoma City," rang the intercom system.

The class hurried to board the flight. The flight was 6 hours long so the class got comfortable and chatted between themselves. Kitty told Kirsty about how on her last flight Evan was airsick. "I kinda like flying," said Kirsty.

"Like, me too, a bit," admitted Kitty.

Six hours later and they finally arrived in Oklahoma City. From there the class jumped into a rented mini-bus and navigated the dust roads of Oklahoma to find the Farm where they would meet the storm chasers.
