Kate just thought she was the coolest person in the world right about now. She wasn't, and she knew that, but just feeling like you were super cool was awesome enough. She was on the brink of turning thirteen, was just about to enter her second year, and was going on a field trip without her parents for the very first time ever.

She did a little inner squeal of excitement.

Now, if she had more friends to hang out with, that would make this trip all the more cooler. She'd met loads of friends during the start of her first year, but once things had started to get intense with classes and homework, she'd been all work and no play. She should really do something about that this upcoming school year.

Anyway, err...what now?
