// SKYE'S POV //

Today is the first day for the juniors to join us in scouts, thus we have a lot to prepare. We're preparing the ropes, practicing codes, building a bamboo pole, and last but not least practicing the routine.

" The pioneers," that's what they usually call us. Basically we're the leaders or elites in scouts, elites might sound a bit rude but, it is what it is.

Under the blazing sun & blue sky, we're pretty much exhausted. Except for one person who's just lounging around pretending to do something, Toby. The president of scouts which all of us hate. If you're wondering why, well he's pretty much a two-faced spoiled brat who tends to be a sweetheart in front of the teachers, but in reality he's a total jerk. A jerk who wants to be the center of attention all the time. Not to mention that he always treated his friends poorly.

During our training period, we were sent to the mountains for camp. Before we got to rest, we were told to build a tent which would be our shelter for the night. Everything went well until the very last frame. A pretty busted up frame with rust all over it, and we could clearly tell that it's very weak and fragile. We hesitated for a moment, because it's a very difficult situation. If we couldn't complete it, we couldn't rest for the night. But if we use that last frame to complete the tent, it would be too risky for us to sleep in.

"Does anybody have a solution for this situation ?" Asked Herman, one of the pioneers who's pretty famous for his creativity and leadership.

" What do you mean a solution? There's nothing wrong with it." That jerk made his way to the front, while pushing others to the side.

" Do you see the rust on this thing ? It's too risky mate, it won't hold the structure considering the strong wind current," answered Herman.

" And so ? What's the worst thing that could happen ? Am I right Mattheo ?" As always, he asked Mattheo for assurance.

"Yes, what's the worst thing that could happen ?" That dumb boy answered Toby's question with no hesitation.

" See ? Afterall I'm the leader here, so you do what I said !" Said Toby in such a cocky accent as he walks away. He acts like he's suitable to be the president of scouts, as if he's done something great for this club.

" Yea that's what I thought, a lazy spoiled brat," said Herman who's left with no choice but to do what Toby said.

If only that one lame dumb-ass called Mattheo wasn't that foolish, we must've been doing something better than this. I mean seriously, we built a fragile tent in the midst of strong wind currents up in the mountains.

" What's the worst that could happen, what's the worst that could happen" (mimicking)

DEATH ! That's the worst out of the possibilities that could happen. However this so-called president kept insisting on doing it, even though we've been taught about the safety protocols. Just because he's the president, we have to do what he says. It sucks ! So we did, we placed that rusty old frame and the tent is complete and we acted as if everything's fine.

"It's done, the tent is done !" Toby came running with a senior to show the finished structure.

" Great job guys, you completed the final challenge of the day !" Said the senior full with excitement.
