A Chaotic Camping Trip! (Hermitcraft 8 Highschool AU)

Chapter 3 - Setting up camp

There were whoops and cheers when everyone could finally stand up and stretch, everyone crowding into the isles quickly trying to flood out.

"Now now wait guys!" X stood up at the front and stopped anyone from moving any more forward. He wanted to tell them all at once, and knew he probably wouldn't have everyone's attention again anytime soon once they left the bus.

"Just in case you guys forgot. It's about a 5 minute walk to the campsite so at least a few of us need to make an extra trip back to the bus. We'll be sleeping in tents in groups of 2 or 3 and the bathrooms are about 2 minutes away near the main building over here." He pointed out of the window to the relative direction they were in but most people weren't really paying attention. So much for having everyone's attention.

"How could we forget? You went over everything a hundred times while we were in class." Cleo said, annoyed he was holding them back from leaving.

"I just want this to go smoothly is all." Xisuma defended himself.

Some people groaned and mumbled in annoyance since they just wanted to get off the stupid bus they had been in for over 2 hours with no break.

"Alright y'all we'll go over the rest of the rules when we get to camp." Joe Hills stepped in. Xisuma wanted to argue, but one look at the cooped up hermits and he gave it up.

They flooded out of the bus very quickly, waving bye and thanks to TFC in the mess, and if X had taken a few seconds longer to get out he might have been trampled. Everyone stretched and walked around to get the blood flowing back in their legs, and readjusted the straps on their bags. Doc, Ren, and Beef went to the side of the bus to open it back up and get out the tents and food, and other hermits got their bigger bags from it. Some people took pictures of the place and selfies and were talking excitedly about what they were going to do.

"Ok, groups of 2 for small tents and 3 for bigger tents!" Xisuma yelled to the crowd. "If there are issues or not enough tents, talk to me." He said, letting hermits grab tents together and set stuff up for themselves.

Hermits raced to the tents so they could get first pick on a bigger or smaller tent and everything evened out way better than Xisuma had expected. He grabbed a small one and Joe took up the other end of it to help carry it to the campsite.

TFC grabbed out a book since he would need them to make a trip back to get the extra supplies before he could leave. He seemed content with taking a break from driving at least.

"Woo we got a big tent!" Grian exclaimed as he helped Iskall and Mumbo get it out of the bus.

"It's not that big Gri," Mumbo said as he took up the end of the sack holding the supplies .

"It'll be bigger on the inside once we get it up." Iskall mentioned. "I want to be the first to be done so let's get to it!" They said at the front of the line holding it up. They pulled on the front to try to get everyone to walk faster so they could get a head start to the campsite.

"We get to bunk sweetface!" Keralis smiled, getting a small tent from what was left.

"Yeah! I can't wait to sleep under the stars." Bdubs imagined the lights dancing above him while he slept peacefully and sighed contently. He grabbed the other end of the tent supplies and the two made their way to the campsite with the rest of the group.

Gem and Pearl high fived as they grabbed their tent.

"We got it! The quicker we get this set up the quicker we can see the nature trails," Gem exclaimed as she looked around at the scenery in awe.
