Blurry Memories

Memory Nineteen: Onto Something Deeper

We reached the camping site after an hour long travel by the bus– we traveled away from the sea side city and moved deep into the forest.

We brought our backpacks with us and started walking to the forest trail to reach our camping spot. I walked hand in hand with Daisy and Lily– like literally. Daisy clinged onto me and Daisy. They arrived at school ten minutes after I did. They told me they we're lost because there were too many people so they just waited near the gates. Fortunately, we saw each other when were riding the bus.

Two to three bus are assigned in every class just to be sure we stay with our group and just in case a bus won't be enough for a class. Every year has 3 to 5 classes, and the school decided that students with same year level, regardless the class or section they may be in can share a bus. Since this activity was to give students a chance to interact, get to know each other and make friends.

As long as your wearing your school ID then the drivers will check you as one of his passenger and you can just swipe your ID to a system and that will serve as your log-in or attendance. Plus, every bus has two school personnels assigned to be in charge.

The group was decided based on the bus. The ones you are with riding the school bus are the ones that belongs to your group. One bus, means
one group.

We finally reached the spot where we are going to set up our tents.

"Okay! Is everyone already here? I think yes. So first, let's set up our tents after resting. Then let's figure what to do then on. Okay?" Miss Student Council President announced. What was her name again? Sherry? Yes I think that's her name.

After successfully setting up the tents President Sherry, instructed male students to gather firewoods for the fire that will be used for cooking, while female student were instructed to prepare the ingredients that will be used for lunch.

Each tent will be shared with a group of four. Males aren't allowed inside the females tent and vice versa.

After the task were done, we settled infront of the fire. Its getting colder– maybe because were deep inside the forest or maybe because it's getting dark. Whatever the reason is, the air is cold and it's making me feel... refreshed. Maybe this is the reason why the school decided to have a camping trip. Maybe they wanted students to feel this...the air, the feeling of being refreshed and just to enjoy the landscape and other things we couldn't enjoy being in the sea side city.

We started digging into the food after they finished preparing them– I didn't help in cooking just in case, I didn't want to cause trouble. I'm helping them, by actually not helping them.

"Students! May I have your attention please!" President Sherry said. " So as you can see, this is where we'll stay for tonight. We'll be having s'mores over the bonfire! And we'll be doing that, listening to each others stories! But before all that, let us first enjoy the scenery! You can look and walk around this area– don't go too far, and make sure to be back before the sunset!" After Sherry's announcement, some of the students stood up, and some stayed in their seats. They're all having fun...good thing they are.

I stayed in my seat to stay warm. I forgot to bring any jacket with me, and the air is getting colder than it was earlier! I might die early  because of the cold and not because of– ugh nevermind! It's so cold!

Daisy and Lily are nowhere to be found. Lily said she wants to go to the comfort room, and of course Daisy went there with her. It's been a few minutes since they left. I guess the comfort room is far from here.

I stood up after staring at the fire for a long time. I looked around and I still haven't seen Daisy and Lily. I sighed. I'll just text them.
