Thursday came rather quickly. However, Xander quickly found a problem. “I have to take Sam and Chris to school?”
“Yes,” his mother answered. “I have to go to an interview on location out of town.”
“I see,” Xander grouched. “I will take them then.”
“Good.”
‘Great! Now I will have to tell Quinn I’ll be late!”
Jennifer arrived at the Morgendorffers to find Quinn and her friends out on the front step. “Quinn?” she asked.
“Hi, Jennifer,” Quinn said.
“Are you guys waiting for someone?”
“Someone,” Josie said enigmatically.
“Are you skipping school?” Jennifer asked.
“How did you guess?” Josie asked.
“Usually, you have already left here by this time,” Jennifer answered.
“Maybe,” Quinn responded, equally as enigmatic as Josie.
Jennifer sighed and went inside.
Daria was finishing her breakfast as Jennifer entered the kitchen. “You seem thoughtful,” she said.
“Quinn is up to something,” Jennifer said.
“When is she isn’t?” Daria asked as she put the plates in the dishwasher.
“I think she’s planning to skip school with her friends.”
“That wouldn’t surprise me.”
Xander and Sam arrived at Glenfield Middle School after having dropped their brother, Chris, off at Lawndale Elementary. “No!” Sam said.
“No?” Xander echoed.
“I’ll come with you.”
“No! Mom is sure to find out.”
Sam shook her head. “No, she won’t.”
“Why do you want to come with me?” Xander asked.
“You know why?” Sam said playfully.
“Like, no!” Xander said. “Matchmaking is a bad idea!”
“And I will get to know her better.”
Xander sighed. He saw that his sister wasn’t getting out of the car. “Fine.” It was just as well the car had a bench seat in front.
Quinn saw Xander pull up into the driveway. “He’s here.”
“Are you ready to go?” Xander asked as he got out.
“Of course,” Quinn said. She then saw Sam get out of the car. “Is she coming with us?”
“She insisted,” Xander said.
“Hi, Quinn,” Sam said with a flick of one of her pigtails.
“What are you up to?” It was Ronnie, who had just come down the stairs, although Quinn was about to ask the exact same thing.
“What do you think?” Sam answered.
“I’m not skipping school!” Ronnie said.
“I’m not asking you to,” Sam responded. “But I would like a heads up on any homework.”
“Of course,” Ronnie said.
“Are you finished?” Josie asked.
“Yes. I’m just waiting for Daria and Jennifer,” Ronnie answered.
“Yes,” Sam said.
“Let’s go then,” Quinn said.
Soon they were all in the car, with Josie, Jessie and Jamie in the back and Quinn and Sam in the front with Xander.
“Ready to go?” Daria asked as she and Jennifer came to the front door.
“Yes,” Ronnie answered.
“I see Quinn and the others have gone,” Jennifer said.
“I don’t know why they’re skipping school,” Ronnie groused.
“I suspect Quinn wanted to get some things from the Mall of the Millennium,” Daria surmised.
“Isn’t that where your field trip is going to be?” Ronnie asked.
“Yes,” Jennifer answered. “But the Mall of the Millennium is so large…”
Ronnie interrupted. “So, it’s unlikely you’ll run into them.”
Xander and the others left Lawndale five minutes after leaving the Morgendorffer’s house. ‘Only 198 miles to go,’ he thought. Just as well he had filled the tank the afternoon before.
“So, have you been there before?” Quinn asked Sam.
“Not really. The Malls in Lawndale have been enough.”
“I guess so,” Quinn said. “But today will eye opening. And maybe we’ll find some really good clothes.”
“I can be cool without the latest fashion,” Sam said.
“If you agree with Ronnie.”
“I do.”
“I guess that’s a reason why you’re friends.”
“One of them,” Sam said with a smile.
Daria and Jennifer arrived at Lawndale High after dropping Ronnie off at school, a few minutes late for Homeroom. “We’re a little late,” Daria commented.
“At least neither of us has Miss Morris for Homeroom,” Jennifer said.
“We’re still late,” Daria said.
Jennifer shrugged. “At least the field trip won’t start for another half hour.”
“True.”
Diane Bennett approached the bus where her Sophomore Class was waiting. The vehicle looked rather worn. She knew it was roadworthy, but the ride was going to be uncomfortable. She knew the students were going to complain. “Is everyone here?” she asked.
“No,” someone said. She was sure it was the new girl, Daria. One to keep an eye on that one. She looked. There were indeed two people missing from the class. But there was no time to wait. They had to be at the Mall of the Millennium by 11.
“Everyone on board, now!” she said.
Rather quickly, Daria got rather motion sick, even before they left Lawndale. It was obvious that the bus’s suspension had seen better days. She took off her glasses in an attempt to ward off the nausea, but that didn’t help. Jennifer had tried rubbing her on her back, but that didn’t help either.
“Are you OK?” It was Brittany Taylor, a cheerleader whom Daria had found at least tolerable.
“She’s having Motion Sickness, Brittany,” Jennifer explained. “Otherwise, she’s fine.”
“O-Ooh!” Brittany said. “All the buses are very bumpy.”
“That’s obvious, Brittany,” Daria moaned, she lay down as she felt a few more jolts.
“Sorry,” Brittany said as she sat across the aisle, giving Daria a clear view of her ample figure. She closed her eyes. She didn’t want the inevitable increased heart rate on top of the nausea.
“I hope you will be better before we get there,” Brittany said.
“Uh huh.”
