《Field Trip》Chapter 3 - Meeting Friends
Advertisement
The morning sun is escpecially bright with not a cloud in sight, only an endless blue with the occassional flock of birds passing by.
'This is a good day for a trip' Meilin thinks.
Charles has just dropped them off and now the girls are walking through Norsbrook Highschool.
"Meilin take your sister with you to the assembly hall for the role call, I'm going to meet that interesting teacher you've told me about" Baiyu looks around the school, it's quite large without considering that it's connected to a subschool called Norsbrook Elementary which Meiying attends.
"Mama Ms Evie is really nice, and her friend is too" Meiying laughs.
Even though Meiying goes to the school beside Meilins, she's met her sister's teacher before and it was a memorable experience.
"Mom! please don't embarrass me by hassling Ms Evie!" Meilin is worried, Ms Evie is her favorite teacher. She's an absolute genius that breezed through highschool and college always at the top of her class and is admired greatly by her.
"Stop worrying, I'm just a bit excited to meet this imaginary friend of hers" Baiyu replies.
Yep.. her teacher is an eccentric. She talks to her imaginary friend Watson a lot, often in the presence of others like he's just another real person.
If it wasn't for this, she'd be teaching in some prestiegious college or university overseas and not a highschool in some small town.
It's a shame, she's such a talented woman.
"Just don't point out that watson is imaginary mom, it makes her real angry" Meilin stares at her mother pleadingly.
"Don't look at me like that meilin, I'm a nice lady" Baiyu shows a dissatisfied expression, 'I'm a polite woman' She thinks.
"Hmph" Meilin looks at her mother suspiciously, nice? Her mother may seem nice when it comes to family but she can get real competitive and aggressive, she often enjoys antagonizing others her earn her displeasure.
There was one time when the neighborladies dog deficated in her garden, she was absolutely furious chasing the dog around in circles with a broom in hand before going over to the neighbor to complain for hours, coming back the next day and the day after that.
Eventually the neighbor got a restraining order. It was truly embarrassing, every now and then she still sees her mother eying in the neighbors direction with a hateful glare.
"Okay now, off you go" Ignoring her daughters suspicious eyes, Baiyu sets off in an another direction.
"Come on sis! Lets go" Meiying skips merryily towards the assembly building. "Wait for me Yingying!" Meilin gives chase.
Norsbrook Highschool and Norsbrook Elementary are both connected side by side, they share the same facilities including pool, cafeteria, trackfield, gym, assembly hall, school trips and even principle which happens to be her teachers grandfather, probably why she managed to snatch a job teaching here.
Coincidentally, her class 6 and her youngers sisters class 3 are on the rotation for a school field trip.
The two sisters enter the new building. The assembly hall is quite grand, it was a dull building with it's bad 70's style carpet and dusty broken windows before the refurbishing, however it now has a stylish skylight and shiny mahogany flooring treasured by the principal.

He had a fit of rage when he saw scuff marks on it thus forbidding anyone from wearing shoes even during important events where visitors come to see a school play. The hall itself is big enough to fit a few hundred people, currently there's only around 8.
"Looks like we're early" Meilin mumbles, she looks around and sees her two friends waving at her.
"Hey Meilin! over here" Sky is extremely happy to see Meiying, she just can't wait to cuddle that cute little figure.
Lily sees Meiying and rejoices, she's been suffering under Sky's constant suffocating hugs for a while now and here comes the replacement.
She doesn't mind Sky's advances, it would be better if Sky would take her on a date first. While Lily is caught up in her yuri fantasies, Sky stops hugging her and walks over to Meilin and Meiying with a voracious gaze.
Frightened like a rabbit Meiying hides behind her sister and observes her arch-nemisis, she could feel those predator like eyes staring at her ever since she entered the hall.
A tall beautiful woman walks over, tan skin, fit figure, sharp nose, a strong jawline and blonde hair that is tied up in a ponytail. The two weapons of mass destruction that populate her chest are capable of sufficating the firmaments, she's a true american bombshell.
You wouldn't think she's dangerous but Meiying knows better, the moment she let's her guard down is the moment of death.
Meiying much prefers Lily who is a witty petite girl just a bit taller than herself. She has long auburn hair tied into cute pigtails, small nose, deep brown eyes and light skin. More importantly, Lily knows the suffering she endures at that hands of this female dragon.
"Morning Sky" Meilin smiles with a knowing glance.
Sky sees her smile as the "ok" for an attack, she peers behind Meilin.
"Meiying aren't you going to greet your big sister here?"
"B-b-baka! stay away!" Meiying is on red alert, looking in every direction for possible escape routes.
"That's a naughty thing to say, be a good girl and come over to big sister Sky" She grins with a devilish smile.
Meiying attempts to run for it but how could she outrun the fitness freak Sky?, she's quickly cornered.
Meiying with a serious expression makes a holy cross with her fingers "Stay back you baka succubus demon!! Back to the pit with you!"
Sky giggles "Accept your fate little Meiying, you can't escape this succubus" Sky picks up Meiying like a kitten and hugs with utter bliss painted on her face.
"Nyah! brph-prhhh, sister help!" Meiying manages pull here face away from the soft mounds before calling for help.
"Such a cutie! I'm not letting you get away" Sky is on cloud 9 right now sniffing Meiyings fragrance drunkedly, she returns to her seat with the struggling Meiying in her embrace.
"I'm sorry Yingying, there's no other way" Meilin says and shakes her head, she goes and sits beside Lily and Sky.
She tried stopping Sky before but got cuddled instead, those sufficating mountains are truly frightning and she does not want to face them again.
"Meilin, did you hear about Mr Evans?" Lily asked.

"No, what happened?" Meilin is curious, Mr Evans is the teacher of class 4 so she doesn't get to see him much. He's quite the grumpy man.
"Apparently, he got into a fight with his wife and later that evening she went missing"
"Really? you're not pulling my leg right?" Meilin gives a shocked expression.
"What? why didn't you tell me Lily, am I not good enough?" Sky frowns and lets out a disapproving sigh.
"You didn't even give me a chance before you ran over and snuffed me out with your bear hug!" Lily glares at Sky in frustration.
"It's not my fault that you're so small and huggable" Sky laughs embarrassingly.
"Humph! HUMPH! I'm not telling you now" One of things Lily hates the most is when people mention her height.
"Come on Lily, there there" Meilin gently pats Lily on her head to cheer her up. "Just ignore sky, tell us please?" Meilin makes her famous pleading expression which in no way loses out to Meiyings.
"Hmm.. Okay" Lily enjoys Meilins gentle pats with a silly smile. 'Hmph, you think that's enough to get into my pants Meilin? Think again, I'll have you work harder before you can taste this sweet apple!' She's gets lost in her yuri delusions again.
Liliy's shakes her head and speaks seriously. "I heard from my brother that Mr Evans was brought in for questioning"
"Oh right, your brother recently got a job at the sheriff station" She definitely knows how to pry information from that tight lipped brother of hers, 'I wonder if she can teach me some skills?'
"Here's the thing" Lily motions for them to come closer and whispers. "When they brought Mr Evans into the station, he looked like he lost his mind and kept repeating the same words"
Both Sky and Meilin are surprised, Lost his mind? What could cause that kind of trauma?
"What were the words?" Both Meilin and Sky ask.
Meiying has already stopped struggling and has already accepted her fate, now her attention is being drawn to Lily's story.
"Hands in the dark are what took her.. right before my eyes.. and they're gonna come for me too!" Lily whispers in a spooky voice.
"Well, that's quite creepy" Meilin is a bit skeptical but something about it gives her the shivers.
"What a bunch of nonsense, I'm sure he killed Mrs Evans and hid the body somewhere. There was always something off about that man" Sky never liked Mr Evans, he always ogled her chest.
"QUIET! Get ready for roll call!" A loud deep voice interrupts the students idle chatter.
Without Meilin and her friends noticing, the assembly hall had filled up with the students of classes 6 and 3, numbering around to 46 not including teachers.
The owner of that loud voice begins to call out the names from both classes. He's a tall man ripped with muscles, heavily tanned skin from being out in the sun for too long, veins popping everywhere, a shiny bald head and really long brown beard that's been braided.
This is Mr Fergerson, the teacher of class 3 which Meiying resides in. He looks scary but is known to be kind and considerate, but it's a different case when he gets angry. Many students have been scared stiff when Mr Fergerson gets serious.
Eventually the role call ends and a peerless beauty walks towards the stage, her hair a deep red in the style of a long bob.
With a slender figure, perfect curves and reasonable height similar to Meilin herself. She wears a light purple office dress and some leather knee boots which surprisingly suits her and to finish it off, elegant wireframe glasses cover her murky green eyes.
"Ms Evie, stylish as always" Lily mumbles.
"Really? I always thought she'd look great in a sports bra and workout shorts" Sky replies.
Lily rolls her eyes "What do you know about fashion? can you even tell that her clothes are haute couture?"
"There you go again speaking some gibberish alien language" Sky remarks in an annoyed tone.
Lily smirks "Such a peasant"
"Lily stop picking on Sky, she doesn't know french or what you're talking about" Meilin says.
"Okay then, at least there one educated person here besides myself" Lily grins in satisfaction.
"Phew" Meilin wipes the sweat off her brow, frankly she doesn't know what Lily's talking about either so she gambled on whether lily was speaking french or italian, thankfully she went with her instinct and chose right, not making a fool of herself in the process.
"All right, listen up" A soft melodious speaks out.
"Today, we set off on our annual field trip for classes 3 and 6. We are first headed to the Grand Canyon and we'll spend a couple days there doing various activities when we reach it"
"The second part of the trip will be a tour through Las Vegas which will last two days and will end with a luxury dinner in the Top of the World restaurant!"
There's various cheers and whispering among the students.
Evie gives the students a sudden sharp stare and they quiet down "Remember No.. Misbehaving! And if I catch any of you older students giving the young ones a hard time I'll have Mr Fergerson here personally discipline you.." Evie speaks with steely tone.
Dale cracks his knuckles and grins.
The older students who see this gulp anxiously.
"We should be returning on friday evening if there are no interruptions, if we do get held back for whatever reasons, expect to be back on saturday. In the case that happens, we'll go straight to your homes and drop you off one by one"
"Students, hea-" She's interupted "What was that Watson?" Evie asks in a surprised tone. "Really?.. interesting" Evie gives a brief glance in the direction of Meilin and her friends before continuing. "Students, head to the bus with your bags. Be quick, no pushing"
The students of class 6 are used to Ms Evie's eccentric behaviour and begin moving to the bus excitedly, the younger students of class 3 are left bewildered before being told off by Mr Fergerson and hurried along.
