Upon arrival, Issy saw the rest of the buses hadn't arrived yet. It'd seem the bus was going faster, but in actuality she was fusing the electrons and playing around with the signals on each red light so they would become green. She glanced to the outside of the window, then to the front of the bus. Perhaps they were waiting for instruction from their chaperon, Ms. Doherty--the art teacher. In all honesty, Issy was going to stick with her friends, but she was slightly determined to at most pair up with Thomas then lead him back to her small group--as it was in lunch. Hopefully he didn't mind. "Come on..." Issy said in a hushed but rushed tone. Abby took noticed as well as Alec and Caleb. She whispered what'd she would do in terms of getting Thomas with them, and I mean he was a calm, collected guy. They liked him to be in the friend group, so why not? If she got into any sort of competition, she'd always aim towards gold or first, as much as her competitive side got ahead of her. Of course, if Issy had to find a shocking way to make her presence known to the girl who had a preference to the window seat, she wouldn't hesitate.

In some odd way, being pressured to sit on the outside section of the bus paid off. Peering through the windshield at the front of the bus, Thomas' eyes watched over and over as every light they came to seem to automatically turn green. The gears in his head began to whir and the super fanatic inside him started to speculate. A smile reached halfway across his lips as he thought about things that seemed normal for him, a wide variety of topics that actually interested him. Soon enough, it faded into obscurity as the other side of his brain wanted to rationalize the luck of the situation. It wasn't the first time he was in a car that was able to beat a majority of red lights and he didn't know any superhumans as far as he knewd.
As the bus came to a creaking halt, Thomas was the first to spring to his feet, the bus hadn't even come to a full stop yet. The farther away from the loud mouth he was, the better he would feel. Thomas hoped in his heart that the ride back to the school wouldn't be one of those 'ride back with who you were sitting with scenario'. He may have let Regina have the window seat this time, but they would undoubtedly have words if she were to try and threaten him again. What am I saying.. The teen thought as he trailed off the steep steps of the bus. A look of disappointment spread across his face as the realization of his diminishing confidence dawned upon him. As one of the first students off the bus, he and the others were instructed to stand and wait for their fellow classmates to step off the transportation. Only then could they move along inside and get to the point of this day away. "Can't wait.." He said to no one, unsure of himself if he counted that as a sarcastic remark. If the rest of the field trip was this disappointing at the start, he wouldn't mind finding an acquaintance to buddy up to whilst they went up and down a the historical building.
The ride was relatively shorter than expected it was unusual to hit all the green lights this time of day in this part of the city. Once they arrived she had the group climb out of the bus. "Alright everyone find a partner for while were in the museum, we need to wait for the other busses so feel free to chat just don't get too rowdy." she called out so everyone could hear her. She was standing on the bottom step so she could see over the kids. Some of the same students that had been rowdy on the bus where being rowdy off the bus "Hey knock it off or you not getting credit for the trip!" She called to them sternly. hopefully that would calm them down and she could enjoy the trip too. she kept an eye on who was pairing up with who.
⤏ It didn't take Issy long enough to comprehend the words from Ms.Doherty. Of course, the whole bus was going a little crazy, with whatever row getting ahead of the one that was supposed to go after another. Oh well. She was near the front whilst her friends were behind her, but they soon parted ways while trying to exit the bus. Issa didn't really care if she caused a sort of questionable action by messing around with the lights. She just wanted the bus ride to be over with. If anything, that was the green light for her and her friend's 'fun' plan to commence. Luckily for them, this trip didn't have too many chaperones and it'd be easy to slip away. Finally stepping off from the bus, she sighed and moved her head up while on the last step. She could see several of her classmate's heads, but spotted Thomas as he was by himself. Wanting to surprise him, or give him a sense of thrill--probably the worst way to phrase it, she snuck around him until she reached the gap behind him and a few other students."Boo!" Giggling, Isabella moved in front of him. Her scare was probably not too noticeable or distracting as it was hushed over by the noise level the bundle of students created."I saw what happened on the bus...people can be rather--jerks, huh?" Looking first at him then soon around him, she continued to smile lightly.
So what can you show me, That my heart don't know already? We make our own sense, And you're qualified to me.
Ameryth turned away again, satisfied with Thomas' responsive wave, and turned back to the boy she was sitting beside, who was introducing himself as Zach. She was about to give her own name, but a tense feeling welled up inside of her as some commotion occurred behind them. Some girl was trying to bully Thomas into giving her the window seat, and the stir of sudden emotion had decided to punch Amer right in the gut. She clenched her eyes shut for a moment, trying to push it out, and it dissipated again as she heard the Jock stand up for him. After a moment, Amer opened her eyes again and gave Zach a light snort, though it sounded sort of pained. "Yeah, ridiculous." She muttered, still trying to shut out the last of the feelings that were pressing in on her so suddenly. A lot was happening all at once in the seats behind them, and she hadn't been ready for it. It was frustrating. She had been doing so well today, too.
She had gotten relatively quiet after that, desperately needing to get off the bus and seeming quite tense the entire way. She was trying terribly hard to keep everything out in this small space, and it was using up every ounce of concentration she had. No wonder people thought she was crazy.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the bus arrived at their location and Ameryth all but shoved her way out of the space to get outside. With any lucky, the other students may just think she was claustrophobic, but she was sure they would all jump straight to psycho. The English girl reached the pavement in front of the museum, passing by Thomas -- who had managed to make it off before her -- and standing beside a wall for a moment to catch her breath. Just as suddenly as everything had flooded in, it all flooded back out again and Amer felt relief wash over her. So much for trying to make friends on the bus. She heard the teacher say something about partnering up, and heaved a sigh, prepared to be the student that someone got "stuck" with. She was sure Zach now fell under the category of people who thought she was whacko after being on the bus with her, and it seemed Thomas was already chatting with someone.

xxx░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ xxxxxxx ◣ ━━━━ XXXFORGET ABOUT YOUR WORRIES AND YOUR STRIFE
At Regina's comment, he rolled his eyes. Unlike a lot of other people Roman was very self-aware. He was the Captain of the football team and as far as anyone else could throw him; the head honcho jerk. Although, he'd never really displayed any of those characteristics—his friends had. Roman couldn't even count the number of times on his hand how he's had to hold back one of his pals from beating up a guy for reasons such as looking the wrong way, etc.
Roman wasn't about all of that. If anyone took the chance they'd see. But he was fine being painted in whatever picture he was supposed to. It deterred a lot of idiots from approaching. He lost no sleep over it. For the ones who believed him to be just a 'dumb jock' he embraced it because currently his GPA was sitting at a 4.0 while his grades never faltered. Soon he would be going to a university no doubt with a full ride to cover his expenses. Speaking of such, the ride to the museum was less drama and more relaxed which was something Rome enjoyed. At times he tried to rest his head against the window of the old yellow bus but couldn't as the constant bumping prevented him from doing so.
Instead he settled for just sitting there, slouched somewhat, with his head pressed against the seat's cushion. When they were told to 'pair up' another eye roll was in need. Just how many would he have to give today? Everyone seemed to already be partnered up...but of course her. Could this get any worse? He thought to himself looking at the back of Regina's head. This was karma wasn't it? Maybe for being a d**k to Damian? Nah, karma wouldn't work like that. Damian deserved to rot somewhere. He was a murderer, the reason their parents were dead.
Being near the window seat of the bus helped him not feel too enclosed, though poor girl seemed worse off. the window metaphorically gave him a way out which helped his claustrophobia. Perhaps she was carsick, the route was bumpy because of the occasional pothole and hill. they got here quicker than he thought they would but he wasn't complaining, He was worried when she bought ran off the bus. Hopefully it wasn't to barf he had a but of a weak stomach when it came to others getting sick. he got off the buss as soon as possible and heard they had to pair up. None of his small batch of friend where here so he was initially unsure who to pair up with. He noticed The girl he had been sitting with was partnerless, so he walked over to her. "Feeling better it looked like the ride was a bit rough for ya" He asked caringly "you can have the window seat on the ride back if that helps, but until then want to pair up?" most people ignored him which was preferable to getting bullied like he had earlier in highschool. pushing back seemed to have helped him look like less of target "Oh i never got your name!" He added suddenly.
So what can you show me, That my heart don't know already? We make our own sense, And you're qualified to me.
Ameryth had bent forward just a bit, trying to recompose herself when she heard a voice. Again, Zach had come forward, his tone rather concerned. However, the concern in his voice was more for whether she was feeling well than her state of mental health. That was surprising. Amer stood, doing her best to act more normal, and gave a slight wave of her hand and an eye roll. "Don't worry about me, just a bit claustrophobic is all." The British girl stated. She then hesitated slightly, but nodded to him, playing along with her claustrophobia stance on what had happened. "I would appreciate that..."
She was even more surprised when Zach offered to partner up with her for the field trip. She had been certain that he wouldn't want anything to do with her after the bus ride. Even if he didn't think she was crazy, who wanted to be the guy that stuck around the girl who got sick on the way over? However, she was grateful that she wouldn't have to be stuck with whoever else the rest of the school deemed unworthy of partnering up with. She gave him a thankful smile and a nod -- a rare, genuine occurrence for her.
"Oh! I never got your name!" Zach announced suddenly, startling the English girl slightly. She was quickly beginning to recover from her episode and smirked lightly at him. "Ameryth." She finally introduced herself, holding out the hand that wasn't glued to the strap of her bag.

Doing a quick spin on his heel, Thomas turned to face Isabella, the attempted playful scare only mildly effective as he did move an inch or two in response. The girl wasted no time in shifting the conversation to a new topic, bringing up the brief moment that occurred on the bus between him and Regina. "It's nothing personal, probably. She hates everybody." By the second sentence he had turned away from Isabella while he scanned the crowd searching for the irritable girl, she had to be close by or she could have sneaked off somewhere discreet, a place she couldn't be seen from all of the people she disliked. To reiterate, that was probably everyone. Another moment and Thomas has looked back towards Isabella, unsure of why she continued to talk to him or at least this much. At the sound of everyone pairing up, he could only assume that the two of them would inevitably be spending the field trip together as they traversed the vast rooms and halls of the building.
The only other person he'd consider was Ameryth and she seemed to be occupied at this point by the very same boy who was with her for most of the day now. Perhaps they'd get to chat on the bus, but until then it was time to focus on the now. "So..did you want to pair up?" Asked Thomas bravely, stepping out of his comfort zone a bit. No sense in just standing around.

"I feel ya there, I'm that way myself. luckily we got here faster than normal" Zach replied with a sympathetic smirk. He was happy she agreed to partner up with him, "Good cause i be S.O.L. otherwise, I tend to blend in" After nearly forgetting to ask her name she introduced herself as Ameryth. "That's a cool name, don't have to worry getting mixed up with someone else." He replied returning the handshake. she smiled somewhat which convinced him she was at least starting to feel better. Some of the student where being loud and rowdy prompting Ms. Doherty to scold them again. "Kinda feel bad for the teacher, she is way too outnumbered." The other bus finally showed up and began to unload it batch of students who seemed to be just as rowdy as theirs was. Perhaps they could get this show on the road soon.
So what can you show me, That my heart don't know already? We make our own sense, And you're qualified to me.
Ameryth nodded, still playing along. "Yeah, I'm not sure I could have handled being on that bus for much longer." She agreed, and even went so far as to chuckle over the being out of luck deal. She knew that all too well, though for her it was that she stood out too much rather than blending in. She rolled her eyes then at his comment on her name. "Somehow I doubt you'd have to worry about mixing me up with anyone anyways." She stated, again taking a jab at the reputation she had acquired. She took her hand back after he shook it and began twisting at the end of her braid with her fingers while they waited to be led into the museum.
She spaced out briefly, not noticing the commotion of rowdy students the teacher was dealing with. Zach snapped her back to attention again commenting on it, however. She looked back towards him, then towards the teacher with a smirk. "I'm sure she can handle us." She said with a wink as other students arrived and poured off of the buses. As she said it, she knew that with sheer will she could help the teacher either feel more at ease, or more forceful. However, she had just gotten rid of all those excess feelings and she wasn't about to open that gate again so soon. For now, at least, she would refrain from causing too much trouble. "So, Zach. Tell me something about yourself." Ameryth challenged, turning to look at him again. She didn't really know much about any of her classmates, and if she was going to be spending the field trip with this boy, she may as well learn something about him.

⤏ Glancing up, Issy nodded. "Of course--" It seemed that she was getting a bitter feeling in her gut. She wasn't sure if it was just his bland exterior doing the talking, or himself just giving her the cold shoulder in showing no interest. Looking down at her feet, she noticed one of her shoes was untied. Grabbing onto her leg, she scrounged the shoe laces inside as she would tie it later. "I agree, but hey--me and my friends would like for you to accompany us while on the trip, I mean unless it's not your scene. I'd still be your pair?" I'd still be your pair, really?! Stupid, stupid stupid. Her thoughts were mangled, but she couldn't feel less wanted? Was that the word? Probably, who knew. Soon, as her friends had planned, would be enjoying themselves of course with the involvement of her powers--and she couldn't hardly wait.
Zach agreed with Ameryth, the teacher seemed to have it all handled "I tend to be good at remembering people." He replied. He knew she had a reputation of being strange, but this was high school people tend to be jerks when if comes to rumors. He never fully trusted rumors considering he has had to dispel ones about him before. "Me? Well, I'm fairly normal" He replied when prompted to tell her a little about himself, though he was lying a bit on the normal part. She didn't need to know that though. "I'm in the choir if that's not too nerdy." He smirked, he wasn't popular by any means. He fell somewhere between the nerdy group and the people just popular enough to go unnoticed

Regina couldn’t help but grimace as the number of potential partners dwindled. She’d overlooked Roman multiple times, her eyes skipping right over him, but she couldn’t ignore him when everyone around him got partnered up. Please don’t make him the only option. She’d sooner kill herself than deliberately choose him. Still, it sure looked as if that would be the turn-out. With that thought, she began to wonder if she could convince their educational overlords to let her go without a partner. We’re only here to look at some boring historical crap, anyways. What kind of retarded name is ‘The Ottoman Empire’, anyways? Bunch of weirdos in ugly-a** hats.
Jillian met up with the other teacher and it was approching the time to go in "Hurry up and pair up or I'm pair the rest up myself. Theres an even number of you so everyone gets a partner." She called out to try and get them to hussle. Peoole seem to dred the idea of the teacher picking partners so much so that pair choices were dwindling in number faster now.
