Hey guys. So good news, I got all my fonts back on Word, and I have a computer in my bedroom. Bad news, school started. So I'm not sure how fast updates will be. But this is one of my favorite stories, so I'll do my best.
Max (Mar. 15th)
"A lot of times you can always tell where they had porta-potties because of the holes in the ground."
Star pointed to a spot on the ground. "Is that where one was?"
The guide shook her head, short brown hair bobbing. "No Hun, that's a gopher hole."
Star thought for a moment, and then was sucked into the conversation that Kate, Ratchet, and the new kid Holden were talking about. I turned back to Nick to continue our conversation, kind of bored with our field trip. We were at some fort place that had a whole bunch of stuff from the pilgrim times. Really, the bus ride here was more interesting.
"But anyways, Buffy would totally beat Sabrina's butt."
He shook his head stubbornly, overly long hair flopping in his dark eyes. "Sabrina can just throw Buffy into a wall or something with magic before she gets a chance to touch her."
My mouth opened to protest when one of the girls from class, Katie, came up to me. "So Max, you're good with decisions, who do you think would when a fight, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or Sabrina the Teenage Witch?"
In the background I heard her best friend Lexi yell, "Sabrina!" Katie rolled her eyes. Then twenty seconds later, and all four of us are arguing about who would win in a fight.
I groaned and yelled over everyone. "Okay! Let's settle this, Buffy is a teenager who learned to fight vampires and other demonic creatures successfully and went to hell and back to save her little sister. Sabrina is a teenage witch who can not control her powers what so ever and is only responsible for destroying the space time continuum and exposed magic twenty times over." Katie crossed her arms and smirked proudly at my little speech and Nick and Lexi glared.
Lexi scoffed and walked away in her girly manner, Katie trotting loyally after. I grinned at Nick. He rolled his eyes in his unique way. Then everyone started running to the pavilion.
"What's going on?" I asked him, but he just shrugged. Maya ran beside us, with Dylan as always, and pulled us along by the wrists.
"Lunch time!" She told us cheerfully. I grinned as my stomach growled. Finally something good on the field trip!
All thirteen of us squeezed onto one picnic table when we were finally given our food. All we had done today was walk around and look around at the pilgrim stuff. Iggy and Gazzy got yelled at for trying to jump the barbed electric fence into the cow field, Kate broke up Ratchet and Star's fist fight, Nudge, Ella, and Angel complained about the humidity, the guide mixed up me and Maya, Dylan was declared 'charming' by the workers and Nick just watched silently the whole time. So all in all, it was a pretty normal day for us.
Maya chewed happily on her ham and cheese lunchable. "This is so much better than that butter we made."
"Yeah, it was so not worth all that churning." Dylan agreed.
"Did you guys see Cheyenne's face when she was churning?" Ratchet spoke with his mouth full.
"I know, she looked like she was constipated or something." Iggy laughed.
"Not only that, but we had to wait about five minutes before she finished." Gazzy complained.
I shushed them. "Quiet. She's watching us." They all looked over at Cheyenne staring at our table.
"That's…creepy." Nick said.
Star decided to freak her out. "What are you looking at?" Cheyenne flinched and ate her sandwich meekly.
Ella took a bite of her candy bar. "She always watches you guys."
"…W-what?" Holden managed to ask.
"Yup. Her and half of the grade."
"Um…okay." I said and we continued eating our lunch like nothing happened.
-Time Skip-
After hours of long and boring lessons of the pilgrims, we were finally led to the gift shop. Which was in every way cooler than what we had been learning the whole day. It had eagle talons, wolf fangs, small daggers, neon colored feathers from exotic birds, animal tails, these really cool naturally dyed rocks, and a whole bunch more. I finished quickly, I bought a falcon talon. Yes, I could've bought an eagle talon, but falcons are way cooler. Heh, falcon talon. That rhymes. I was chuckling under my breath, earning some weird stares. At least, I hope that's why they're staring. What Ella said earlier at lunch kind of freaked me out. Nick came over and sat next to me on the edge of the playground.
"What'd you get?" I asked him. He lifted up the wolf fang that hung on a chain.
I smiled at him. "How fitting." He flashed one of his rare lopsided smiles.
Then Iggy and Holden came running over. "Check it out." Iggy said and they both turned their backs to us.
"We got tails." Holden finished. They had clipped the animal tails to their back belt loops. Nick and I laughed at them. Maya came running over, with a tail in her hand. She stared at them for a second.
"I want a tail!" She declared and clipped it to her belt loop. "Yay."
The rest of our gang gradually came over one by one. As we were talking, I noticed that ratchet had bought a dagger from the gift shop.
I stared at him. "That's just straight out scary." He simply grinned, showing the dagger off. Star, of course, rolled her eyes, thinking anything he did was obnoxious.
Then Nudge, in the middle of one of her rants, looked over Dylan's shoulder at something. "Hey, what's that?" We all instantly turned around to see what she was looking at. It wasn't very impressive; it was just one of those wooden head lock things that people were put in during the olden days to be stoned or something. But to Nudge (and Maya, Holden, and Iggy) it was completely entrancing. They all ran over to it, the rest of us following. We all crowded around it, and up close it looked a lot worse, with rotting wood and termites and all that.
Angel stared up at it sadly. "I can't even reach it!" Angel for some reason, skipped out on the tall genes, because Gazzy happened to be pretty dang tall. Angel, on the other hand, is a midget.
Ratchet, being the idiot he is, when Maya lifted the top half up he stuck his head and hands in. She let it fall with a loud bam! He just grinned.
Star shook her head, finding it funny like the rest of us. "I knew this would happen one day."
The Gasman picked up a small rock. "Who wants to play stones?" With out waiting for an answer, he grinned and chucked it at Ratchet. Helpless to do anything, Ratchet only cowered and yelled as we all joined in and pelted him with tiny stones. Oh yeah. Best part of the field trip. Until the teachers came over and got onto us for abusing him. But oh well.
I'm not the biggest fan of this chapter, but I really want to get it out to you guys. Sorry for not keeping up with the story as much, but I'm trying.
