Chapter 34: Is this the breakfast!?

I stretch my left arm as I stand with the crowd of students sleepily hanging out in front of the busses that were going to take us to our various destinations for the day.

“Alright you maggots!” Unlike the majority of the students, the teachers were all full of energy, “The day is going to start at a famous all you can eat restaurant! Students are responsible for their own meal costs! Do note that if you manage to eat five whole plates of food, after having them checked by a waiter, your meal fee will be waived! Get into groups you unruly maggots!”

The students all slowly meander towards their friends.

Oh, just a little by the way, it is currently 4 AM. No one was told that we would be waking up early, so most of the students stayed up late, myself included.

Hey! It’s not like that! Claire and I only watched some T.V. until we fell asleep!

Claire walks over to me with a tired look on her face, the other teachers were nicer to the students… for some reason I have this feeling that Ms. Mason was the organizer for this school trip.

“Carry me Logan!” Claire leans her head on to my chest as she almost falls over… she really should learn to wake up faster… maybe washing her face with cold water might help.

“I wouldn’t even if I could you know. You should be able to walk fine, you made it here after all. Didn’t you?” I slowly pat Claire’s head.

“Where is here?” Claire sleepily rubs her eyes and starts to walk in circles…. It seems to have been some sort of miracle she was able to make it here without getting into an accident.

“Everyone get on the busses! Those who take longer than five minutes will receive twenty lashings!” Ms. Mason yells out and all the students that had her as their first class teacher knew she wasn’t joking. They all woke up at these lines and tried to help their friends run away at high speeds towards the busses. How Ms. Mason was still a teacher was incredible in every sense.

This is a story that relates to why the students in her first class knew she was not joking.

Not too long ago, a student had decided to rebel against Ms. Mason during class using armed body guards. Ms. Mason calmly watched the guards run up and reached under her shirt behind her back and pulled out a whip. She put on a sadistic smile and whipped the men into submission… yes, in that sense.

Ever since that incident no one has dared to question her sanity, nor her methods. It was also found out that was the reason she never stayed in a relationship for very long… she was a hard core sadist.

I dragged Claire the best I could with my bag on the shoulder of my good arm. She also had a bag on her back carrying the items that we were told to bring. Just before Ms. Mason pulled out the whip, all the students had managed to get on the busses. Very few of the students were still moving slowly, but the students had come together as a team.

The assigned staff for the students were staying in a different hotel and were meeting with the students during breakfast at the all you can eat restaurant. Actually, Claire had suggested that her assigned staff not come along, and of course, my assigned staff was also told to do some relaxing.

“Now that we are all on the bus, I want you maggots to know that if any of you couples do anything in front of me, I may decide to randomly give out lashings.” Ms. Mason walks on the bus holding her whip and saying ominous things, and of course…

All the students look towards myself and Claire.

……

…

“That was a boring bus ride!” Claire was clinging to me after getting off the bus.

“Hey… you know that there was plenty of entertainment from people getting whipped into shape. I don’t blame Ms. Mason one bit for hitting those students, they really didn’t know when to shut up.” I shrug my shoulders as we walk to a four person table within the all you can eat restaurant.

“That’s not what I’m talking about!” Claire tries to kiss me as we sit down, but I skilfully dodge. “Why’d you dodge!?”

“You know Claire… I really do love you… but doing stuff like this every day… don’t you get tired of it?” I look to Claire with tired eyes.

“Nope!” Claire happily sits across from me and starts to poke my legs with her feet. “If it’s you, Logan, I will never get tired of trying to do these things!”

“Whatever…” My head falls to the table and rattles all the cutlery that was placed carefully on the table. “I give up. Your pace is just too much for this simple man.”

“This one requests to be seated in this location. Is that acceptable, so I inquire.” Saunderson walks up to sit beside me at the four person table. There were two seats on either side so I just shrugged my shoulders.

“It’s all yours.”

“This one is grateful for your acceptance, so I declare.” Saunderson sits down and eyes the drink menu… really Saunderson, so early in the morning and you already want to drink? What happened to you?

Amy and Claire start to talk to each other about anything and everything. Saunderson nudges me gently on the shoulder as he was sitting on my right.

“This one wonders if Logan is up for some light conversation, so I declare.” Saunderson smiles as I slowly lift my head from the table.

“Ah, why not?” I stretch out my stiff back and turn to look at him with a bright smile, “When did you and Amy get together?”

Saunderson’s face goes red from embarrassment and I quickly glance over at Amy and Claire who had suddenly stopped talking. Saunderson looks at Amy quickly and her face also starts to go red as she looks away. As she does this, it grabs the attention of all the students sitting near us. Amy was known as mean and strict, how could they not be curious when she turns red and looks away nervously from a man?

“This one would not like to disclose private information, so I declare.” Saunderson tries to run away by giving an excuse. However…

“Ah, you can’t even tell the person you are employed by about a matter as small as this! Maybe I can just tell you what I already know?” I give him a full smile showing my teeth. “Um… If I remember correctly it was when Claire had come to my room for the first night with food… so it really hasn’t been that long has it?”

Saunderson looks at Claire with a sad expression, almost as if he was saying, ‘Why did you have to tell him!?’ To that, Claire just smiles and shrugs her shoulders. Claire and I had decided to help these two with getting through the starting phase of the relationship.

“So, Saunderson. How far have you gone?” I hit the final blow and Saunderson tries to stand up and run, but I had already placed my left arm on his shoulder and was standing. I had the advantage in this case, despite Saunderson being much stronger than myself.

“Well… this one… dares not say…” Saunderson nervously looks around and actually forgot to say his famous sentence ender… surprising.

“All we have done is kiss! Get off my back!” Amy snaps after Claire’s persistence. Oh, and Claire was literally on Amy’s back. She was hanging on to Amy and talking in to her ear, trying to get her to talk… but she actually shouted this.

The entire room had gone silent, and the room over was also silent. Waiters quickly come in to the room along with a manager and he quickly starts talking.

“Welcome to my restaurant everyone. I hope you have all decided on what you would like to drink, as the servers will be around to take your drink orders momentarily. Feel free to go up and grab food after you take your drink order. Remember to get a waiter to check the amount of food on your plate before you eat if you want to go for the free meal challenge. Speaking of which, we are not responsible for any injuries caused by customers eating too much food. If you do not want to take the challenge, do not worry about it, and just take your food to eat without asking the servers. Thank you for choosing my restaurant, and enjoy your meal.”

The students all quickly start talking between each other because of the manager’s timely arrival. The servers are fast as they go from table to table writing down everyone’s order. They finally get to the table that I am sitting at.

“Ah, I would just like some water please.”

“Certainly.” The waiter nods and looks at the others. They aren’t responding so I just tell the server they will have water too, “I will be back with your drinks in a moment.”

“Thanks.” I thank the server as he goes to the next table. “So… are you guys done staring at each other?” I ask the three people who had started to stare daggers at each other. I don’t know why they got this tense.

“Well,” Claire is the first to speak up, “It isn’t my fault you guys are progressing slowly.”

“We don’t need your help!” Amy shouts at Claire with a red face.

“This one would appreciate it greatly if you were not making strange suggestions for this one’s relationship progress, so I declare.”

“You guys should hurry up and do more together, have you gone on a date yet?” Claire asks the two with a wide smile.

“We haven’t had time! Stop it! Stop bothering us!” Amy is getting actually mad.

“Claire.” I had walked behind her and grabbed her shoulder with my left hand. “I think it is time we start getting our food. I think you’ve teased them enough for now.” After I finish Claire looks at me and shrugs her shoulders.

“I think they need this push.”

“I think you have taken it a little too far this time though.”

I point at Amy who looks genuinely mad and Saunderson is giving me a thankful look while attempting to calm Amy even just a little bit.

“Yeah.” Claire sighs slightly, “I guess I did go a little too far.” Claire walks up beside Amy, “I’m really sorry Amy. I didn’t mean to tease you this much. I sincerely apologize for what I have done. I hope you are able to forgive me.” Claire smiles weakly as she says this to Amy who had started to calm down.

“I guess I can accept your apology but you owe me a favour!” Amy crosses her arms and starts to pout.

“Yeah, yeah. I’ll owe you a favour, ‘kay?”

“Ahem…” I lightly cough to get their attention, “I think we should go for food now. Almost everyone has gone up and returned to their table already.” I gesture towards the large room of people eating food and watching the show.

“Yeah…” Claire shrugs her shoulders, “I guess we should go and get some food now. I am kind of hungry.”

“This one will grab food for Amy is she does not mind, so I declare.” Saunderson starts trying to impress after the embarrassment to show he has strong character. Fight on Saunderson.

“I will take you up on that offer.” Amy sits back down in her chair and sips from her water that had just arrived.

“Uh… Amy… that was mine you know?” I look at her with a wry smile.

She does a spit take with the water in her mouth and starts to panic and make a mess in the room.

Yep. This might just turn out to be a rough day.

Hello everyone!

So. I would say something like: "Shit hit the fan, and I wasn't able to post." Which is true... but after that was over, I got distracted by a game and basically marathoned it for a little while...

Consistency... who needs it?

I apologize and would like to make it up to you guys by posting this chapter today and depending on how I feel, the 6K word chapter later tonight (As it is only noon for me as of this post). So, back to how I will make it up to you guys. I will let you decide what happens in chapter 36.

Think of something creative you would like to see in Hawaii and I will write it. I promise the chapter will be no shorter than 3000 words. I may go with one suggestion, or I may go with multiple (by the way, the suggestion for Logan cross dressing is still on the table, and I think it will be after Logan returns from Hawaii).

So, please comment anything you'd like to see. This may be your one and only chance to interact with my novel, so don't let this chance pass by! Make a suggestion! Also, if you suggestion is vague, I may contact you to get more details as curiosity always gets the best of me (please be nice to me).

Well. I think that is everything for now, and I may or may not see you folks later.

Have a great day/night!
