Time Goes On

Aroa has stayed with this group for a couple of months now and she was really enjoying herself. They all have their different interest and would bicker from time to time but they would all laugh about it at the end of the day. This was nice. 

~Time skip to class~

"Everyone! We have a school camp coming up and I all hope you can attend this year's camp. You might not know but this school has its own private camping grounds so I all hope you have fun.", the Teacher said a bit too enthusiastically. 

"What a drag! A camp! Who would wanna waste time in a forest?", Aroa groaned. Aroa has spent her fair share of times in forests and it was not one of her favourite things.

"What! I have been looking forward to this all year!", Yazmin argued.

"Well, after a while forests start to get boring and annoying to be in!", Aroa states.

"Have you spent a lot of time in forests?", Callum askes.

"Yeah, and they suck.", Aroa says.

"Well, you got us this time, right? Who wouldn't want to have me with them in a forest?", Yazmin says.

"Me!", Sidra yells.

"Actually, I don't even wanna be close to a forest.", Sidra states.

"Why not?", Luke askes.

"Well, we are not allowed to bring our phones.", Sidra looks devastated.

"Hey! Can we go back to not wanting me with them in a forest!", Yazmin yells.

"Well, I feel like you would be so clumsy and end up dying.", Sidra states a little too quickly to be a joke.

"At least its not Aroa!", Yazmin argues.

"Oh, your right.", Sidra agrees.

"What!", Aroa yells.

"Well, you would blow up the whole campsite.", Yazmin states bluntly.

"Do you not trust me?", Aroa askes.

"I don't.", Sidra states bluntly.

"Okay, rude but fair.", Aroa agrees.

"Well, I would like to go....", Willow adds.

"Well,  I'm going!", Sidra says cheerfully.

"Good to hear.", Lukes says.

It was true that Aroa hates forests but that's probably because she was always alone. She would always feel so lost and start to freak out when she was in a forest, it was an empty void of space and she didn't like being alone in it. She needs people she cares about or she will just feel empty or left out. You see Aroa always feels alone and left out in a forest since all the trees are together and she is alone she is traped in everybody else's standards and other peoples happiness when all she can feel is pain. It isn't fair.

"Your coming too, Aora.", Yazmin askes.

"Yeah, I'll be there.", Aroa is scared. She didn't wanna go but she didn't wanna disappoint her friends. Aroa always falls into peer pressure.

~Time skip~

"Yes! Finally!", Yazmin was way too excited.

"Calm down.", Callum demands.

"How can you not be excited?", Yazmin asks.

"Well, it is just a forest.", Aroa pitches in.

"I am going to have to agree with Aroa.", Callum says.

"Yeah, but it's a campsite with fire and marshmallows!", Yasmin was daydreaming.

"Ew, marshmallows.", Sidra says.

"How can you not like marshmallows?!", Yazmin was appalled.

"I don't know why but I just don't like them.", Sidra explains.

"But their marshmallows!", Yazmin yells.

"Everyone! Get on the bus." The Teacher demands. As soon as everyone was seated and buckled in, the bus started and they went off to the nightmare they called camp. Aroa still wasn't sold on the whole camp idea, it still freaked her out. She kept repeating how awful forest was in her head, over and over again and again. But everyone else seemed excited about this hell on earth, maybe it won't be as bad.

~At the Campsite~

The bus came to a halt as they arrived at the campsite. It was exactly what Aroa imagined, wooden cabins and a whole lot of nature. Disgusting nature. Spending a lot of her time with nature, was one of the most annoying things she has ever had to deal with. People would think that she would be used to it but that gonna have to be a no.

"Oh, great we're here. lovely.", Aroa said sarcastically.

"You don't seem to wanna be here.", Luke stated.

"Oh, really?!", Aroa was starting to get annoyed.

"Look! she is defending herself with sarcasm. That's what she does when she is uncomfortable. Do you see?!", Yazmin yells.

"No I don't", Aroa defends herself.

"No, it's true. She does it whenever she is just being annoying or is uncomfortable.", Callum pitches in.

"Oh, really. That's good to know.", Sidra says.

"Well, it's not true. I just like to use sarcasm.", Aroa ensures.

"To hide your feelings.", Yazmin adds.

"No!", Aroa yells.

"It's okay. I'm here, come on give me a hug.", Yazmin says getting closer.

"Ew! No! Get away! I hate hugs! HISSSSSSSSSS!", Aora hisses.

"Did you just hiss?", Yazmin askes.

"No.", Aroa states bluntly, kind of embarrassed.

"You totally did. You cat.", Yazmin jokes.

"No, more like a snake", Callum adds.

"I don't hiss!", Aroa yells.
