Chapter 3: The Trip
The next day at school, the 6 kids excitedly came to school early to drop off their bags in the office and then went to the library. School started in an hour so they had tons of time to do homework. They forgot to do it because they were packing. They all finished the homework 30 minutes before school started.
Lizzie: Oh my gosh, you guys, I'm so excited for this trip.
Miranda: I know I can't wait to lie in my queen-sized bed.
Kate: How do you know it's Queen sized?
Miranda: Well, if it's a mansion, there's a possibility that the beds are queen sized.
Gordo: Listen Kate, since we're gonna be living together for a long time, can you at least have a nice attitude towards us, at least until this is all over?
Kate: I don't know. Maybe. I'll tell you what, Let me think about it until the end of the day, then I'll give you all an answer. Ok?
They all agreed. They were all walking the halls of the school not knowing where they're going. The good part of that was they discovered hallways and classroom that they didn't know were there before.
Ethan: How long are we staying the mansion?
Larry: I think we should decide now.
Miranda: Ok, how about 3 weeks.
Gordo: 5 weeks
Larry: 1 month
Lizzie: well, what if we decide on how long we want to stay and we want to stay longer.
All of a sudden, Kent walked up behind them and scared them. They all jumped.
Kent: Well, if you want to stay longer just let me know, then you can stay. Remember that this is your choice. Ok? Cool.
Kate: Wait Kent, we have questions about this trip.
Miranda: Yeah, we're all excited about this trip,
Lizzie: but we need to know three things.
Gordo: Number 1: Location.
Larry: Number 2: Food
Ethan: Number 3: how do we get there?
Kent: Ok then. Location, The location is 10 miles away from here in a city called Oakland. Your refidgerater is FILLED with food. I'd say about 200 dollars worth of food and drinks. No alcohol. A limo bus will be picking us up at 3:00 PM sharp. That's cool since school ends at 2:00 PM and I'll be there to make sure you all get there safely.
That speech made everyone super excited. There was a smile on everyone's face and there was not one unhappy face in that group.
School was starting in 10 minutes and students were beginning to come in school. The 6 went to homeroom. The students in school approached the 6 asking them what Kent had wanted yesterday after English class. The 6 didn't want to say anything about the trip because Kent had said it had to be confidential. So they had to lie.
Girl: Kate, Ethan, what did Kent want?
Kate: Umm...he complemented us on our cool outfits.
Boy: Hey Tudgeman, What happened yesterday?
Larry: Kent asked me about the 7th season of star trak.
Parker: Lizzie, Miranda, Gordo. What did Kent want?
Miranda: well...
Gordo: umm...
Lizzie: He asked us where the...bathroom was.
It was like that all day until the last period bell rang. The kids got more and more excited about that afternoon. The parents of the 6 came to the school to wish them luck and to kiss them goodbye.
Jo: Ok honey, take care of yourself. Call me when you get there. You have your cellphone with you? Did you recharge it?...
Lizzie was getting an earful, As usual.
Lizzie: Mom! I'm gonna be ok. I gotta go now. And don't worry I'll call you when I get there.
Lizzie then looked at Matt. Matt looked really sad. Lizzie was getting worried that he might be right about what they were talking about in his room yesterday. Matt then came over and gave Lizzie a tight hug. Lizzie hugged back holding back tears and then left.
The kids gave their parents a last hug and kiss then entered the bus.
