"铃——" 响得我脑袋嗡一声。

Outside the classroom door, the chatter was already deafening. I stuffed my hands into my pockets and walked out without raising my head. When I got to the usual spot under the tree, Xiaoya wasn't there.

Damn it. I frowned. Maybe she had something to do with her family again. I pulled out my phone and dialed her number.

"You're not answering..." I said impatiently. "Ah, I'm busy now, okay? asked Xiaoya from the other side of the phone, her voice a little urgent. Okay, I guess she really is busy. "Alright, I won't bother you then. See you later."

After hanging up, I felt a little empty. I was about to turn and walk away when I heard a familiar voice calling out, "Hey! Wait a moment!"

I turned around. A group of classmates was standing not far away, and among them was Xiaoya. She looked apologetic and gestured to me with her hands. "I just had a quick chat with them. They're organizing a class trip next week and they wanted to know if I could go. They said the destination is... an amusement park!"
