It was now time for the Carnival of Lights, and Megan and Michelle were head to toe in glow bracelets, necklaces, etc, but it was too bad that it would be all for nothing.

"Good news, we're going to the opera!" Mr. Harrington announces, making everyone pissed off, including Megan. "You've gotta be fucking kidding me."

"Jackson, language!" He yells. "God, if I had a dollar-"

"Don't look at me." Mr. Dell raises his hands in innocence. "I had nothing to do with this."

"What happened to the carnival?" Betty asks, which she was pretty much asking the same question everyone else had.

"This is upgraded living, guys." Upgraded living? Please. This wasn't satisfying for the students at all. "Come on, the tour company just gave us these tickets for free! Do you have any idea how much opera tickets cost?"

Ned looks over at Peter, wondering if this whole opera thing was his doing, and Peter nodded furiously trying to tell him that this was all part of the plan. Megan notices this then looks at the both of them, dying to know what the hell was going on.

"No!" Flash whines, which was shockingly understandable. "None of us have ever wanted to go to the opera. Ever!"

"Um, well I think this is going to be culturally enriching for us!" Ned lies for the sake of Peter.

"Culturally enriching my ass." Megan rolls her eyes, which didn't make Mr. Harrington happy. "One more curse word out of you and you're not going to the opera!"

"Good!" She yells. "Who wants to go to an opera?"

"Roger, she's kinda right-"

"Shh, I know she is." He whispered to Mr. Dell. "She's just very scary and I don't know how to deal with her."

"Everyone can hear you." Megan says.

"No they can't." He brushes it off and changes the subject. "Anyway, this is going to be the best four hours of our trip!"

"Four hours?" Everyone but Peter and Ned say at the same time.

"Guys, I think this is going to be fun! Seriously!" Ned lies again, then everyone gives him a look.

They were now on their way to the opera, everyone practically dragging their feet since they didn't want to go at all. They'd much rather be at the carnival right now.

"So literally anyone can single handedly knock me the fuck out right now." Megan says with the most dissatisfied look on her face.

"That's a mood." Michelle laughs. "But I need you so I can survive these four hours of torture."

While the two girls were walking, Peter was walking behind them, and then Brad was behind Peter, eyeing him. He knew Peter must've done something to delete that photo.

"I bet you're all happy that I told you guys to pack a nice outfit!" Mr. Harrington's says oddly excited. Why would anyone be willingly excited for four hours of hell?
