Warnings: In this chapter will be a slight YAOI. It's not much but soon I will write some REAL yaoi so please hold on a bit longer ^^


On the day before last of the class trip, we took our breakfast in the common again and the teacher told us what we would do on the day. "Today we will visit the National Botanic Gardens. This is a big park with many several gardens and plants." So I didn't like plants much.

We had a lot of time before the trip would begin, because our guide started at twelve o'clock.

Matt, Near and me went to the common room, where still many children were and started playing a game. Near was pretty always the one winning. Slowly I honestly wondered why Near always had to be better than me. I really learned for every class test and never made it to be just once better than him. Near really always had to have one or two points more than me! Innerly I was seething with anger, but it wouldn't make it better to bother about it, so I decided to start learning even more right after the class trip. I also wanted to be on the very top of the rang list and I would definetly reach this!

After half an hour we didn't want to play 'Ludo' anymore and looked for something else. "What about this?" asked Matt and pointed at the game 'Twister'. "Okay, but only if I can turn," I answered. Matt and Near agreed and short after we prepared the game Linda came to us and asked," Can I play with you?"

"Sure" Matt answered. He, Near and Linda stood around the game and waited for my instruction. I turned the pointer on the disc and said,"Right hand blue." They did as I told them and even after a few minutes they were hopeless entangled and Near almost fell. I gave another instruction and then it was over. Near fell and caused Matt and Linda to fall too. I began laughing and gave Near the disc.

We played pretty long and often got laugh flashs. After much of the time passed the teacher came to us and said, that we have to gather in front of the youth hostel again. We packed awa. the game and gathered where the teacher told us. Then we headed off for the next train station not far away. The Botanic Gardens were only 3 kilometers away, so that we already had to get out at the third station. Most of the children didn't like the train station. Me either. It was loud and everywhere were crowds of people. We went to our track and waited for the train. It didn't took long until it came and we started to drive by train. It was very full so that Matt, Near and me had to stand like many other people. Then the train stood. We arrived at a station. Our teacher told us to get out of the train at the third station so there were two left.

The doors opened and people got into the train. Many people. There was hardly enough place for all. Matt and Near were pushed against me, causing me to be pushed against the door. At the second station some people got out, but it was still very closely. Fortunately we had to get out at the next station.

As we arrived there, the doors got open. I was practically pushed out of the train, so that I couldn't even turn to get out properly. In the last moment I tried to find hold at Matt and Near, but the only thing it caused was that we three landed on the floor. All the people got out of the train and I was glad they didn't ran ontop of us. We quickly stood up and went to our teacher.

Then we went to the Botanic Gardens. He was right around the corner. As we arrived, we didn't even need to pay, because it was a regular park. Just that this one had many several gardens in it. We gathered at the entrance and waited for our tour guide. Ich checked my clock and realised we were ten minutes too early.

After twenty minutes the tour guide finally came. It was a woman. She was tall, skinny and had long blonde hair that reached her shoulders.

We couldn't see much of the park yet but that what you could see was beautiful.

"Hello! Are you looking forward?" Asked the tour guide. The class agreed and then our tour guide began to show us the park. It really was more beautiful than I thought.

The tour didn't take long and was very interesting. Best was, that we could look at the park by ourselves at the end. At some point, though Matt and me didn't want anymore and just sat down on a bench to relax a bit.

Near was gone ahead. I ate some chocolate and in the corners of my eyes I could see Matt was looking at me. " Mello." He said quickly and I looked at him just as quickly.

Suddenly Matt grabbed me by the back of my head and stole the piece of chocolate I had melt in my mouth by kissing me. He grinned but I didn't put up with this and took it back, because it was my last piece. Everything ended in a passionately fight for a piece of chocolate, until Matt swallowed it. I ignored it and continued kissing Matt. It was so delicious with Matt's taste mixed with chocolate. I barely could get enough, but Matt broke the kiss to breath. I would've liked to get more but then Near came to us and said, that it was time to go.

We stood up after we smiled at each other and followed Near.

After a short time we arrived at the train station again and got into the next train. Matt, Near and me sat down in a four compartment. I looked around as usual until my view was catched by a person. It was...It was Mason! I Immediately showed it Matt and Near also realised it then. We talked to each other while whispering and decided to sit by him. We went as unobtrusively as possible and sat down in his compartment. Matt sat down next to Mason, I sat down on the opposite and Near sat beside me. Just then we realised he seemed to sleep. His eyes were closed, he wore glasses, which hung tilted on his nose and a book laid on his chest. At this view it was hard for me not to laugh. "Should we wake him up?" I asked. " Yeah! But how?" Matt said. I thought of it. " Maybe he's ticklish?!" I assumed. Matt started grinning. "Let's try!" He suggested. I stood up and began together with Matt to tickle Mason. I took his rips and Matt his stomach. It really worked. Mason woke up and began to laugh. He tried to free himself but we didn't stop.

Suddenly his glasses fell to the floor and we saw how little tears formed in the corners of his blue eyes.

"Hahahaha...please...stop...I can't anymore!" He shouted. We stopped. Slowly he raved, directed his clothes and picked up his glasses. "Huh...that was...a tumultuous welcome," he said still out of breath. "How are you?" he asked. "Fine, and you?" Matt and me asked at the same time. "I'm fine, thank you." Mason replied grinning.

"We just were in the Botanic Gardens. It was very beautiful there!" Said Mat excited. "Oh yeah, I was there very often. It's one of my favorite places, " said Mason. It was really funny with him and we nearly forgot, we had to get out at the third station. But just almost. "I'm sorry, but I have to go here, " said Mason. "We too!" I said. " Cool!" Mason replied and stood up, because the train slowed down. Matt, Near and me also stood up and went together with Mason to the doors. We went out of the train and went to the teacher and the rest of the class. Our teacher counted us, but most of us didn't care, because most of the class looked at Mason for the whole time, who didn't seem to realise that. "Is that the guy you told us about?" Linda asked quiet. I nodded and then she went to Mason and said, " I also want such long hair. Can I touch it?" Mason looked at her, smiling and nodded.

Suddenly five children stood around him, lightly pulling at his hair, because they didn't belive it was real. Mason Started laughing.

"Oh kids. Please stop bothering this man. I don't think he likes it." The teacher said, as she saw it.

"Oh, no problem. It's okay. I'm used to this." Mason answered friendly.

After a while the children let go of Mason and we went back to the youth hostel, Mason accompanying us.

As we arrived Mason crouched between Matt and me. His hair barely touched the floor. He laid his huge warm hands around our shoulders and said," I'm really happy I met you two. You're going home tomorrow, aren't you? Maybe I will come. If we don't meet again I wish you all the best. Take care, dear ones." He stood up and before he went Matt and me hugged him. He laid his strong arms on our backs and hugged us back. He was so warm and smelled so nice. We let go of him and he set off. "Goodbye, Mason!" Matt and me shouted. Mason turned around. He smiled as always and winked. Then he shortly waved again before turning back and going ahead.

I had liked Mason a lot, even though we didn't even know him. It would be great if I would meet him again at some day, but that would be unlikely.

Matt an me looked at each other and then we noticed the class already was in the hostel.

We got in fastly.

In the evening we talked about the day the whole time before we could sleep satisfied.
