A Chaotic Camping Trip! (Hermitcraft 8 Highschool AU)

Chapter 8 - The hike begins!

It took longer than X wanted- and Geminitay too for that matter since she was also awfully excited -for everyone to get up and ready for the hike. But eventually, after who knows how long it was of waiting, all of the hermits were up and awake and excited!

Breakfast had been pretty quick, because the hermits that had woken up early prepared it for the rest of the group going to the bathrooms, so everything was ready when they got back. They all ate quickly, mostly being rushed by the hermits impatient for the hike about to come.

"Alright gang! Today we're going on the big hike near the waterfall!" X exclaimed after everyone had finished eating.

"WOOO!"

"YESSS!"

"THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME!"

The hermits whooped and cheered as a crowd and he waved his hands to get them to settle down.

"Now, everyone's going to get prepared first. Get water bottles and lunch bags in a small backpack, but other than that, trail mix, first aid, camera's and other things are good to bring too. Don't bring too much though, this is the long trail so carrying a lot is going to be a pain."

They all separated to get their things.

After a few minutes of running around, grabbing small bags or backpacks, running into each other, and finally stumbling back to the meeting area (the campfire), everyone was ready. Colorful lunch boxes, water bottles all definitely only filled with water, cameras, walking sticks and other random items for long hikes were sorted between the hermits as they waited for X to finally lead them to the trail.

"Joe, do you have the first aid kit?" Xisuma asked with his own bag in his hand. He slung the backpack over his shoulder as Joe pulled out the first aid kit and nodded to confirm.

"Great then, we can start the hike! If you didn't already know, it's a looped trail so we won't be going on the same path twice, so if you drop something, say something so we can get it back." X said. The hermits nodded, and he hoped they were actually listening. "The waterfall is towards the end, but there's a lovely view on top of a hill a little less than halfway through where we can eat and take a break, and I think there are some benches too if my memory of the website serves me correctly."

"Come on, let's go already dude!" Ren exclaimed, throwing in his hands in the air to emphasize it.

"Yeah!"

"I wanna start to take pictures!"

"And I'm gonna put my head into the waterfall!"

"You can't be serious, Grian."

More conversation erupted, and no one could really hear anyone at this point.

Xisuma tried to calm everything down, but his attempts were futile as people talked excitedly and moved around, making sure they had everything they needed.

"You're such a pushover X." Cleo sidled up next to him and teased.

"Hey I'm not-" X tried to protest, but Cleo interrupted him.

"Since I'm so nice, I'll help ya buddy."

He was about to say he had it under control, but she didn't wait for an explanation before she used her own methods of getting the hermits to quiet.

"EVERYONE SHUT UP SO WE CAN GET THIS FREAK SHOW ON THE ROAD!" That had shut everyone up, but she continued to yell over the silence. "LISTEN TO X WITH THE RULES AND STUFF AND THEN WE CAN GO!"
