Stuck between twin Brothers

Okay what just happened?

Chapter 11

Mark’s POV

It’s been about a week and a half since that incident with the Gates brothers and so far it’s been  uneventful thank god...Jonah doesn’t want me within a mile of them and ever since that day his gone all G.I Joe , it’s unnecessary if you ask me Micha would never hurt me I just know it..I’m unsure about Zeus but Micha wouldn’t....  Right???

Right now I’m walking into the school gym since it’s was announced during lunch that after the last period there would be an announcement for history students and we should gather at the gym, so here I am with Jonah taking our seats waiting on our principal...

Everyone is chatting asking each other whether they know what the announcement is about but seems everyone is clueless... Whatever it is they better be quick cause I’m exhausted and I just want to go home and pass out...

   “Alright settle down students, I know you are all curious to know why I called you here.....Don’t worry it’s good news, some people that would like to remain anonymous gave a check to the school for History class students in order to fund a trip to Europe so you could visit world class museums, famous archaeological sites and historical buildings for a better learning experience....”

Chatter in the gym increases as students excitedly squeal at each other.... Who in the hell would fund such a trip, it’s got to be super expensive..... there’s like close to eighty history students in my school and making sure every student is accommodated, fed and has tickets  to get into places and so forth will not come cheap....

As the chatter increases I scan the room seeing everyone’s excited face and I make eye contact with Zeus... I think my heart just leapt out my chest... and his staring right at me with those gray piercing eyes, it’s like he sees right through me....

How long has he been staring at me...it’s like he knows something I don’t with the smirk his giving me.... God I know I’m screwed 

“why pay for people that come from super loaded families, I guess some people are just f*****g generous or straight up insane...

Why not just donate  the money to a children’s foundation, God even a feed the dolphins will do but to fund already rich maniacs that’s just freaking crazy....” Jonah says beside me snapping me out off my staring competition with Zeus..

   “Shhhh shhh quite down students, I know y’all are excited.... So you will have three weeks to prepare, you can collect consent forms from the reception desk and have your parents signatures so we can process visas and also book accommodation.. Note that those that do not have consent from their parents will have to remain and attend lessons with other students... That will be all Good day kids.....”

I watch as the principal leaves the stand and exits the gym...

Do I really want to go on this trip and be stuck halfway across the world with students I know do not like me.. I know Jonah and Alice will be there but they can’t be with me all the time... to make things worse the Gates brothers are History students do I really want to be stuck with them...

Fiddlesticks!!!!!

No maybe I should just stay here and attend school with other students that do not take history,it’s less risky that way....

Great it’s decided then.... 

I mentally agree with myself as I leave the gym with Jonah leading the way....

3 weeks later 

We are currently in Italy in a bus heading to Herculaneum, which was the second city buried under the ashes of Mount Vesuvius eruption in 79AD... Most people don’t know about this city but it’s one of the first cities to be hit before the famous city of Pompeii.... you know from the popular movie

Anyways back to situation I find myself in or shall I say between...Get it... No okay moving on 

I now find myself between Zeus and Micha in a three seater, I bet your wondering how I ended up here in Italy between these two Gods when clearly I should be home.. it all started two days ago when we landed in Italy and we were checking in...

Two days ago...

“Omfg this hotel is sooo beautiful, look at the paintings on the ceilings its like we walked into an Emperors palace”  Alice practically screams destroying my eardrum... but I get her excitement it’s breathtaking, you’d believe past Kings and Queens lived here..

So the plan was to just stay back in New York go to school and back home no problem, but sadly the universe has never been on my side... I never bothered with the consent form the principal was talking about, because I was not planning on telling my parents but someone emailed it to my mother..to say she was pissed would be an understatement she wasn’t happy she found out through some anonymous email and the fact that she knew I was planning on not going....

Now here I am in the middle of the most extravagant hotel lobby because my mother threatened to cut me off if I don’t go and I quote “take risks and be a f*****g teenager across Europe”      *sigh*

“ Okay kids gather around do not wonder off, don’t want the school to be buried in lawsuits now do we, all cause we lost someone. Now rooms have already been assigned and roommates picked so all you have to do is approach the desk state your name and you’ll be given your own copy of the room keycard and a map of the city incase something happens which I hope to all that is good it doesn’t”  that was professor Adams  the head of the history department his like one of those guys that always wear sweaters their grandma knitted for them even if it’s a hundred degrees I don’t know how he does it...

I approach the desk and state my name, the nice lady smiles and gives me the keycard to the freaking penthouse……. Okay okay there’s got to be a mistake, I know that the rooms the school paid for were just standard and only a few students managed to persuade their parents to pay for premium but others didn’t care were they slept long as they got to sneak out and get wasted…..

“I think there’s a mistake, I am part of the Galaxy Private School students and I know the school booked standard rooms for us and maybe something a lil fancier for the teachers . Please check again”

She just smiles and types in my name again… I do not get it , did my dad do this I mean I know his capable but I told them I just want to blend in and a penthouse suite does not exactly spell blending in… 

“I’m sorry but there’s no mistake” she tell me and says next to help the next student .. okay do not panic this is not so bad, I’ll just be super careful so nobody sees me leaving the suite… okay that could work , it’s easy .. yeah easy deep breaths 

“Hey which room are you in ?” Jonah asks me not noticing my panicked state

“The penthouse suite” I whisper to him, his eyes go big

“Damn your Dad sure loves you, I just bribed the desk attendant to get me the premium and made sure Alice sleeps in my room . I was worried about you but seems your sorted”

I give him a shaky smile and we head to the elevators luckily it’s me Jonah and Alice , I scan my keycard so it can lead me to the penthouse after they get off the 15th floor leading to their room..

The elevator dings and my jaw drops , holy pretzels this screams luxury , I wobble in my jaw still on the floor …

“Hope it suits your standards little dove” I hear a deep voice say I turn around squeaking and find Zeus casually leaning on the wall like his posing in a photo shoot… gulp

I think I just peed my pants
