Most of the class mates were sleeping or sitting chatting with the people in the opposite rows from them. Alice had fallen asleep whilst listening to her music that she was sharing with Shane. They had been driving for hours and Shane felt the need to catch up on the sleep she had missed out on this morning.

Bette pulled out a new art book that she had just purchased the day before going on the trip. “James look at this one, it’s my favourite” Bette showed him the picture from the book. “Wow, where’d you get this from?” His face light up looking at the massive grin on his best friends face. “An old book store in town. It’s one of the few good art books I don’t have”.

“Gay gay and gay” Josh and his mates leaned over them looking at the book they were reading. Josh opened a can of soft drink that he had previously shaken, the drink splat over the pages they were looking at. Bette wiped the drink that had sprayed onto the side of her face. “Why don’t you guys just leave us alone!” Bette demanded. “Why don’t you guys just leave us alone?” Chad mocked her. “Come on babe, leave them to read” Tina tugged Josh’s arm, feeling sorry for them but trying to keep her cool at the same time. She gave them a half-hearted smile and walked back to their seats.

Bette was using her sleeve to clean the pages clean, high school was easy for Bette, she found that grades came naturally and she had the friends she wanted in her life, the only people that really bothered her were the jocks and their superficial girlfriends, they bugged everyone that wasn’t in their group though.

The bus came to a halt pulling up into the camps car park. “If you can please look on these sheets here” the teacher instructed as she handed out pieces of paper that had the schedule on it. “On the front you’ll see what you are doing on what days, you will be completing these tasks in groups, your groups are on the back” There was chatter and a few sighs when they heard that they had assigned groups. “You will also be sleep with these people so get to know them well”
“What the fricken frack!” Alice called above everyone else. “Thank you Alice, once you get off the bus, unpack into your dorms and get to know each other”.
