Field Trip/Black Clouds
My name is Archie Williams and I was a 16 year old British-Canadian teenage boy, standing at 5′8, short blond hair and soft blue color eyes. Living within the city of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Who was going on a school field trip to some old museum outside the city. Along with eleven other students and only six school teachers. Since the school budget was a bit low lately. As I sat within the back of the long school bus and right beside another boy and classmate 15 year old Josh Turbo, standing at 5′7, short black hair and light brown color eyes. Who was reading one of his detective books. Since it was going to be a long drive. An couldn’t blame. With me feeling a little worried about the dark clouds. An hope the weather won’t be as bad as I think. With everyone getting onboard before our head teacher began speaking.

Field Trip/The Rules
Standing at the front of the bus was our 40 year old teacher Mrs. Carrot, standing at 5′7, long light brown hair and dark blue color eyes while wearing glasses she began speaking. As you all know. We seem to be having some rough weather blowing in today. So I hope you brought your umbrellas as you were asked yesterday. An further more, there are three simple rules to follow. 1: Stay with the group at all times. 2: No causing trouble at the museum. 3: Break any of the rules and you’ll be stuck in detention for the next three days. We all understood, even though she was a bit hard on us students. As our bus driver got herself comfortable and soon began driving us right away.

Field Trip/Peaceful Chatter
Time flew by pretty fast as one of the other students a 17 year old teenage girl name Brittney Rose, standing at 5′8, long blond hair and dark green color eyes while also wearing a simple dress curiously asked me. Do you think you’ll nail one of Mrs. Carrot’s surprise tests again? I simply reply. I honestly don’t know. For I’ve just been studying just like everyone else. She seem to believe me an reply. Guess we’ll have to see. I believed it, since she always tried to get scores higher then everyone else in our classroom. As almost everyone were either chatting and just trying to sleep through the ride. Though my attention was directed more towards Mrs. Carrot and our gym teacher 34 year old Harry King speaking to her with a grumpy expression. An already knew this wasn’t good.

Field Trip/Teaching Issue
It was just five minutes after we left the Jr. High School that Harry began speaking to Mrs. Carrot down within the front that he spoke. Listen.....I know this is your class an all. But didn’t appreciate the way you were treating Jackie yesterday after gym class. But also saw what you almost did as well. Mrs. Carrot didn’t seem to like this an reply. She was out of line. With what she had said to me. An deserved a firm talking to. Harry responded back. You an I both know that isn’t true. Especially with what you almost did. An going to be very serious with you. That you try doing, what you almost did again. I will report you to the school board. Am I perfectly clear? Mrs. Carrot seem pissed and said nothing. With Harry turning his attention away and now focused his attention forward. While also being quiet as well.

Field Trip/Tension
A couple of minutes past as one of the girls from another class being 16 year old Jackie Parker sat there quietly with a sad expression with me noticing this as Josh began whispering. It seems Jackie isn’t too comfortable. About Mrs. Carrot coming along for the ride. Growing curious I whispered back. Why’s that? Josh quietly reply. You don’t know? Mrs. Carrot an her had a little disagreement yesterday. An that Mrs. Carrot almost slapped her. I was surprised by this and knew. That no teacher within our school was allowed to do such a thing. Especially after what happened with Mr. Henry last year. Who decided to start a fight with a student. Who accidentally bumped into him an caused his coffee to spill onto the test results from the math test. An literally lost control of his anger. By punching the student and later arguing with the principle before being fired last year. Who kept this mind as we kept going and the rain soon coming down.

Field Trip/Engine No
Over two hours had gone by an still had one more to go, before we reach the museum. As the heavy rain was coming down and all seem to be fine. When suddenly we all heard this terrible sound. Coming from the school bus engine and knew this wasn’t good. As the driver pulled over and spoke. Now what is going on? Who quickly stepped out within her rain coat and popped the hood. Who then checked out the issue before coming back in and speaking to one of the staff members. We’ve got us a weird problem. They seem confused an the rest of us too. As Harry and another teacher 31 year old Jordan, who was a black man standing at 5′9, bald head and light green color eyes both went outside. To see what she was talking about. With the rest of us wondering what was happening as well.

Field Trip/Cut Line
Looking at the engine while standing within the rain outside the school bus. They could clearly see this small strange device. That had manage to saw it’s way through the fuel line. While being powered by this simple battery. Which made Henry curiously ask. What is that? With Jordan replying. I’ve got no idea. But whatever it is. It’s manage to cut the fuel line. An thrown us into a real problem. Henry sadly agreed as he asked the bus driver. Do you have a spare? She reply. I’m afraid not. An there’s no auto shop anywhere nearby. Knowing this was bad. Henry noticed Mrs. Carrot standing up and spoke to all of us in anger. Which one of you messed with the bus? Causing him an Jordan to hurry back in and handle the problem.

Field Trip/Blame
Confused by what Mrs. Carrot was asking us. Henry quickly spoke to her in anger. I can’t believe your accusing the students. On something they know about. She replied back. Really? Because I know there’s at least two of them. Who could have made that device. That has clearly thrown all of us into a terrible mess. Mr. Jordan now spoke. That’s quite enough. For none of the students here. Could have done what your blaming them of doing. Since none of them were anywhere near the bus. When it showed up at the school. An if you keep this up. I shall personally call the principle and report this to her. Mrs. Carrot seem to grow more mad as she respond back. Weather you two believe me or not. As long as the fuel line is cut. We’re all going to be stranded. On the side of the road. That’s when a terrible argument brokeout and Mr. Henry and Mr. Jordan had to lead her off the bus. Along with two others to handle this unexpected situation. With all of us surprised and still confused at the same time.

Field Trip/Bus Drama
Surprised by what Mrs. Carrot had told us. But also the fact that she was accusing us of messing with the school bus here. We all felt pretty insulted as well as the argument outside seem to be settling down and Josh now speaking. It seems somebody doesn’t want us. To go to that museum. Though I strongly doubt it was anyone onboard this bus. Curious Brittney asked him. Then who? This was a great question. That made everyone start wondering. When Mr. Henry came onboard and started speaking to all of us right away.
TO BE CONTINUE....!
Field Trip/Situation
Facing all of us Mr. Henry spoke loudly. Attention all students. I want to apologies for what Mrs. Carrot had rudely said to you. An that we’re going to try and call somebody to assist us with our bus problem. We all believed this an urgent weather started coming in on the radio. Saying that a sudden severe rainfall was coming our way. An all knew this was bad news. While also spotting someone’s tow truck pulling up behind us. Who weren’t sure on who this could possibly be. But just hope that they can somehow help us out.
TO BE CONTINUE....!
Field Trip/Tow Man
Pulling up behind us we watched as this 40 year old tow truck driver got out, who stood at 5′7, short messy light brown hair and lighted green color eyes approach the teachers and began speaking to them. Excuse me folks. But I couldn’t help but notice your ride pulled over an thought you might need a hand. Hearing this Mr. Henry replied. We do sir. For our fuel line broke and we don’t have a spare one. With a bunch of teenagers, who are on a field trip. Hearing this he replied. I see....well your in luck. For Old Man Rick. Lives only a short distance from here. An is sure to have a fuel line you folks can have. They were glad to hear this. With Mrs. Carrot already asking. Where is his home? The tow truck driver told them. At the farm, down the dirt road ahead. Understanding this they thanked the man and decided to make a plan. Before half of them headed off to get help.
TO BE CONTINUE....!
Field Trip/Suspicion
Not wanting to leave us students alone. Mrs. Carrot, along with two other teachers and two of the students on the bus here. All headed for the farm nearby, in hopes the old farmer. Really did have a fuel line. Otherwise this field trip was going to be a bust. With me noticing a concern expression on Josh. Which made me ask. What’s wrong? He told me. Don’t you find it strange. That a random tow truck driver. Happens to know someone with a fuel line. Who lives close by. It made me start thinking here and soon reply. I’ll admit. It does sound strange. Yet we also don’t have much of a choice. Josh knew like the rest of us. That I was sadly correct. As he now resume reading his book. While we were all stuck patiently waiting for their return.
