field trip

Chapter 1:

" do you have any squids?" I asked my new found friend.
" what do you think I am , squid King? No I have no squids ." He answered back in a Russian accent. This Is why we called it Russian go fish. Now I know what you're thinking, what a strange place to start a story but in all actuality it's the best place. The beginning is kind of a drag, it's basically just me standing around and trying to see who all was going on this trip, So I thought 'why not start here'.
      We were in Ohio now and have been playing this game for hours but it was okay, I found it to be absolutely hilarious. I had actually gotten the courage to talk to someone probably because I had had a conversation with him before given that we were both flight Commanders . Dylan Butler flight commander of a freshman fight was absolutely hilarious . Most of our conversations consisted so far of who had a jellyfish or a snapper , strange but still very entertaining . I hadn't gotten the courage to talk to anyone else that I hadn't known already . By the time I finish this thought we were pulling into the hotel parking lot you could hear the collective sigh of relief knowing that we wouldn't have to sit in the same place for much longer . We all one by one filed out of the bus , though I was realived it was difficult not to shove people off the bus given the slow rate of exit .
       Once I was out I wanted so badly to go back in, grey clouds rumbling in the distance striking long thin shots of electricity through the sky sent me back to my childhood. My anxiety spiked , but then something distracted me . I turned to look at a boy singing Falling in Reverse underneath his breath . I knew the boy automatically rumors about his romantic escapades where all I knew of him besides his name , I'd always been too afraid to talk to him as well , until for some reason now . "I'm not a vampire by falling in reverse?" I started in a questioning tone. He smiled a pearly white smile, "Yes, you listen to them to?" He asked. I just nodded and started typing the song into YouTube. When it started to play I had caught the attention of a few more of the cadets. One in particular that I had wanted to start a conversation with for quite some time . I never had the courage because I didn't know what to talk to him about. As I was trying to get my voice to work, another Roll of Thunder boomed in the distance, I jumped out of my skin. When I look back up I had at least three sets of eyes on me, three more than I was comfortable with. And of course, the boy I wanted to have a conversation is the one to ask why. "What was that?" He asked with a laugh at the end, it seemed nervous. Maybe I should look at my feet and pretend like I can't speak or maybe I'm just over analyzing, maybe I should say something. " I'm afraid of thunderstorms, but the thunder in particular." I said quietly. Now Alec the boy with the many romantic escapades that I have heard about scoffed. " you and about every other girl." I got nervous again, preparing myself to shut down and not speak again but Joanna puts her arm around me. " I'm sure none of the other girls have the same reasoning, it's a childhood phobia." I spoke up, and someone tried to speak but now I couldn't stop my self. " it's from a story I was told, the story consisted of every time the Thunder rolled louder it was Giants getting closer to coming to eat me for my sins." I finished, now staring down at my feet cheeks burning and I was sure the color must have been crimson. " And I thought my family was religious," the boy I wanted to talk to said, " I don't know if I said this but my name is Dylan." Then it all came crashing back this was Dylan Montgomery, flight sergeant of the same flight as Dylan Butler. I'd seen him in a meeting once or twice he really didn't show up with Mr. Butler but that was fine. He was cute though, and with that thought my face turned redder.
