As everyone took their seats on the coaches, Hamlyn and Henry ended up sitting together.
"Ah, awesome, I snagged the window seat," Henry exclaimed.
"Yeah, enjoy," Hamlyn replied casually.
As everyone settled into their seats on the coaches, Teacher Sarah and Mr. Renzo, the teacher from 3-B, entered and stood facing the students.
"Okay everyone," Teacher Sarah emphasized, "remember to stay calm during the ride.”
"The journey will be three hours long, so please maintain silence until then," Teacher Renzo said. Everyone nodded in acknowledgment.
As Teacher Renzo settled into his seat, Teacher Sarah noticed Hamlyn and Henry sitting together.
"Hamlyn and Henry, you both are not sitting together," she declared, scanning the coach. "Henry, switch seats with Sheryl.”
Hamlyn's eyes widened in astonishment. Henry smiled and stood up, but as he turned around, his eyes widened in disbelief upon seeing Sheryl seated next to Ruby. Both Ruby and Henry locked eyes with each other.
