Chapter 2 - Chapter 1: School Trip

"Okay listen up students I know today is not a normal school day, you are out on a school trip and some of you are super grateful that you're on this trip. Because most of you Mike Mars If I named a few were not prepared for the test." Ms. Milo sounding so dissatisfied.

"Yeah!!!." A bus of 71 high school kids jumped with excitement.

Originally the normal capacity of a school bus is 72 but only 71 kids were the ones who were excited about this trip, because like Ms. Milo had said most of them weren't looking forward to the test she had prepared for them... Which meant that this trip was a surprise trip. And those who knew Ms. Milo very well knew exactly how brutal her tests were, since she came to Evanston High School the pass rate has decreased by eighty percent to say the least.

A bus full of 72 high school students was normally a bad idea because of the stunts they would pull but the big bad Ms. Milo took the job as the chaperone and the bus was quiet and peaceful, you'd swear that these kids were going to prison or something because their rights and freedom were left behind the moment they stepped on that school bus.

Evanston was going on a surprise trip none of them knew they were heading and none even cared enough to even ask or even bother themselves to wonder, they were just excited to go on a school trip.

Every kid in the bus was in small groups all of them who were pretty occupied with their conversations that they were so focused on that they even forgot about the outside world, but one teenage boy stood out from the crowd. A black haired kid with brown eyes and a dressing code that made him look like he was a skater or a bad dude with some rad tunes.

His name was Hero Hudson, Hero was sitting by the bus window looking outside as the bus kept moving he seem a bit distracted.

"Hey Hudson". Some called from afar because the call sounded like an echo.

Either Hero ignored the call on purpose or he simply ignored it reason being he couldn't hear it.

"Hey Hudson buddy". Someone taps him on his shoulder snapping him out of wherever his mind was.

"Huh? Oh hey Shakes". Hero comes back to reality.

"Whoa you seemed like you were out of this world, where were you?". Shakes asks with curiosity.

Shakes was your average guy he had orange spikey hair, green eyes average height for the height of a sixteen year old. He wore a white t-shirt that had some graffiti explosion and denim jeans with a white pair of sneakers to complete his look. He wore headphones around his neck.

"Oh nothing much just admiring the scenery". Hero lies through his teeth.

"Okay, how about you join us in the back plus Rebecca keeps asking for you, man". Shakes insists.

Hero peaks at the backseat of the bus and he sees a beautiful blonde haired girl with glasses smiling at him and waving hello, embarassed by that he goes to back to his sit.

"See now tell me you don't wanna talk to that Hun". Shakes pokes him.

Hero blushes a little even though it's super obvious he still tries to hide it.

"Huh, huh". Shakes continues to poke him.

Hero (sighs)" I'd like too but I think we have arrived to our destination". Hero's the first one to see where they were actually at.

"What?". Shakes confused.

After being best friends with Shakes for almost half his life Hero knew him like he knows himself, Shakes was kinda unique with his intelligence and most of the times he was lost as hell. So Hero takes Shakes's head out the window and shows him where the bus stopped.

The doors open.

"Okay you little scums of the Earth all of you exit Lacey with respect and honour". The bus driver warns them.

Like any normal teenager with their hormones running all over they ignored him and ran out the bus like a stampede.

"Sorry about that Bob". Hero and Shakes were the last ones to exit the bus so they apologized.

" Come on now Mr. Hudson and Mr. Mars, let's go". Ms. Mars calls them.

Before they entered the door of what seemed to be a mall outside, Shakes jumped into conclusions and probably thought something unrelated to the trip they were on.

"Oh buddy I know you probably think we are here to see a movie but nope, we are here to see old things stolen from the other cool countries". Hero comforts Shakes who's face had now changed.

Right before they go inside Hero reads what's written outside, the Museum of Ancient Art.

Inside was very big and beautiful if you were into History but these were high school students nothing about history was awesome and cool, when they were gathered together into one group, right before the tour guide came to show them the place.

"Damn it". They all cried with disappointment.

A beautiful young woman came to their direction a little bit older than them maybe twenty years was her age.

"Hello guys I'm Angie and I'll be your tour guide and if you have any questions for me I'll be glad to answer as honestly as I can". Angie introduced herself.

Shakes raises his hand and Angie sees him and points at him.

"Yes sir". She says.

"Are you single? Because wow you are hot". Shakes jokes around.

"Well sadly no I'm not I'm even engaged see, but if he messes up you'll be the first one to know cutie". Angie flirts back.

"Ouch". Shakes heartbroken.

"I would have told you she was engaged". Hero puts more salt in his wounded heart.

"Okay let's begin with out tour before we run out of time". Angie leads the way.

They passed so many artefacts which were all explained by Angie herself, but like the rest of other normal teenagers who didn't really care about history most were busy talking and others taking pictures with the statues and artefacts.

Angie showed them an old helmet that had lost it's colour and became brown and rusted.

"Can anyone tell me who did this helmet belonged too, who can answer a right answer I'll give them a special surprise". Angie anticipated.

Bickering began amongst the students from the moment they heard the word surprise they all took interest, all disagreeing with one another about which answer is right or wrong.

"King Arthur". One of the students said in the crowd.

"No you idiot it's the helmet of Zeus the God of lighting". Another one said.

"You both are wrong it's the helmet of Queen Elizabeth". This one was way of.

The bickering continued which in just a few minutes if not stopped was going to be war.

"It belonged to Lancelot". Someone answered in the crowd.

"Who said that?". Angie intrigued.

Everyone stepped out of the way and opened for Hero who was was busy biting his nails, and not focused on anything else but what he's doing.

"That's right and who must you be young sir?" Angie walking towards Hero.

"Huh? Oh my name is Hero, Hero Hudson". Hero introduced himself.

Angie was intrigued because she knew that not everyone knew that answer, maybe it was luck so she decided to test him again. "And why was it Lancelot's helmet, if you don't mind me asking".

Everyone's eyes were focused on Hero because everyone was sure that he didn't know the answer to that question. In short everyone expected him to fail.

"Okay due to Lancelot's jealousy over his best friend for everything he'd accomplished for winning the war becoming king and marrying Genevieve, Lancelot's hatred grew more for Arthur. So Arthur was challenged by a strange knight to battle and declared that whoever won get's everything... He accepted and was then killed by the knight who turned out to be Lancelot while wearing that helmet, after that he also took the alias of King Arthur as we know him today to honour his friend. He killed without realisation". Hero answered.

Everyone assumed he was wrong and started to giggle but to their surprise.

"May I approach you Hero?" Angie asked nicely.

"Sure". Hero agreed.

Angie approached Hero and looked at him and just stared at him then pulled him close then kissed him on the mouth, passionately.

Everyone stood in awe.

"You are right". she smiled.

"Hence called the God of War". Hero stunned by that kiss.

She kissed him one more time."Not only are you smart but cute too". She said.

The jealousy among the other teenage boys raised reached new heights, all of them giving him this plain death stare. Making him uncomfortable.

"Guys". Hero called out in fear.

They all left the tour and chased after him.

He ran as fast as he could but didn't know where he'd go and hide.
