The not so bad field trip.

A not so bad field trip.

Well it all started on a sunny day…
Our teacher was taking us on a field trip to the zoo, and yet again I had to go with people that I hated, they already started to throw stuff at me. Julie kept throwing gold fish crackers at me and Anna kept poking me from the back seat.

The only reason I was coming on the field trip was because my best friend Bob was coming on to the field trip too. Bob was angry too because they were throwing stuff at him too.

When we finally got there we had to get teamed up with each other, or in a group with a parent or guardian. The only “person” I wanted to team up with was Bob, but with my bad luck I had to get teamed up with Julie, Bob and Anna. I was the angriest person ever. The even worst thing was we had to find stuff in the zoo, like a scavenger hunt. I did know Bob was going to help me but Julie and Anna would be doing pranks on us, instead of helping us.

The first thing we had to find was where the gift shop is in the zoo. I and Bob did see the gift shop earlier when we got off the bus stop but according to Anna and Julie they have a fast way to get there. When we started following them we found the other stuff we needed to find for our scavenger hunt, like where the lions are hippos are and where the birds are. We only needed to find 2 more things and we could win a free lunch. All we needed was where the gift shop is and where the monkeys are.

When Julie and Anna stopped moving, we got scared because Julie and Anna don’t stop. they are like the hyper ones, but when we checked what made them stop there was a loose lion! We all started running. Now this is the part where we actually started caring for each other. we tried climbing up on the gate just when the lion chased us behind. We quickly got up on the gate just when the lion was about to bite me.

We had no clue what to do. As a team we actually waved at a tourist and told him to get the employee who worked in the zoo. He caged the lion and we got off the gate. We were happy. We actually got something done together as a team.

After that day, whenever I saw Anna and Julie they just smiled at me, they never bothered us again.

The End.
