Matt parked in the student parking lot, as per usual. The slightly tanned brunette was tired, so very tired, that he wished he could just roll into the backseat of his car and snooze. But his body wouldn't allow it. He needed to go on the field trip, for various reasons. The fact that he was captain of the swim team only cemented the fact that he couldn't play hookey. Oh well.<br/><br/>With a heavy sigh, Matt slid himself out of the car, shouldering his backpack and locking the door to the white Seabring he drove. A lot of the swim team members teased him about the car, but it was reliable and drove well. That was all Matt cared about in the end. He didn't like driving anyway. Starting towards the front of the school and cursing the cold morning air that bit his face, the bus came into view a few moments later, and Matt couldn't help but grin slightly to himself. Field trips always were fun...<br/><br/>Climbing up onto the bus, Matt looked around, two swim team members instantly hailing him with cries of "Vinson!" Matt shook them off, however, after a grin and a couple mumbled words, moving past them and starting towards the back. The sight of Eloise sitting on Alex's lap was a bit disturbing, but maybe she didn't hate him anymore. He'd find out soon enough, he was sure. Maybe Alex deserved a punch in the face. Matt sighed, running a hand through his dark hair as he sat down in a seat near the back, scanning the few students who were aboard for the moment. Matt was on good terms with most of the school, and was reasonably well-liked, at least as far as he was concerned.<br/><br/>He suddenly saw Ami rush past him, apparently embarrassed about something, her face bright red, and he followed her with a slight grin, the female having come from Jake, who looked just as embarrassed. "Alright Ami?" Matt asked, glancing to the back after a moment. He couldn't help but notice the way she squeezed her knees shut, as though she was afraid her womanhood might leap out and attack someone.
