" So, what should we do now ? ", Lily who is now driving.

" Go home. ", Sam.

" Oh come on, my dear cousin we don't hang out that much, and Serena is going to leave soon. ", Lily.

" Yeah, it's practically morning. Why do we have to return home in the morning when we weren't even out for the whole night.", Claire.

" It's not morning. It's already 2:00 A. M. ", Serena.

" Yeah, but it's morning for those who wake up at noon during weekends. ", Lucas.

" You still wake up late. Aren't you supposed to wake up early and study hard? ", Claire.

" But I study at night. ", Lucas.

" Very bad, those who have to study should wake up early. ", Claire.

" As if you are the one to talk? Your mother has to pour cold water on you every day so that you would wake up. ", Lucas.

" No, you don't get it. I never get up early because I am not a hard-working student like you but you should do it because you are. ", Claire.

" Oh yeah who --", Lucas.

" Oh, I know where we can go. We can go to Hossman. ", Lily.

" Lily concentrate on your driving, please!", Serena.

" Hossman ...I think it's the archaeological site.", Claire

" Yeah, it's the one that they recently discovered.", Serena.

" Ok, but don't you think it will be boring to visit there?", Lucas.

" Lucas you are not allowed to say things like that because you are a hard-working bookworm who is supposed to look for ways to quench his thirst for knowledge. ",  Claire.

" Shut up Claire you are pissing me off--- ", Lucas.

" No, it will be fun I promise guys just trust in me guys.", Lily.

" Yeah besides it will be better than going to the mall for shopping. ", I say.

" Oh, Myra is also here. For a moment I forgot that you were here. ", Lily.

" It doesn't matter if she is here or not.", Sam looking at me with a sly smile.

But I am going to ignore him like he ignores everyone all the time.

" I thought Myra was going to say something in her defense.", Claire.

" I was waiting for her answer.", Lily.

" Me too. ", Lucas.

" Anyways let us go to Hossman. I am going to open the GPS in my car and here we go. ", Lily.

------+---------+------------

" It's not that far away, right? We still have to go back before night. ", Serena.

" No, it's in the city. ", Lily.

" You should stop at the nearby public restroom. I have to pee.",  Lucas.

" Yeah me too ..." Sam

" Me too ..." Claire.

Me too. I also have to go to the washroom.

AFTER A WHILE :

" Here we are. Just hurry up guys. We still have a long way to go. ", Lily as she parked the car in some desolate parking lot.

" Ok...",  Lucas and Claire at the same time.

Oh no, why is Sam beside me it's too awkward to enter the washroom in front of him. Wait a minute, I am Myra and I don't care about such things besides it's a natural thing. But still, let us walk slowly so that he is ahead of me. Not beside me ...

" So, how are you doing? ", Sam.

No! Don't talk to me.

" Why are you ignoring me today? ", Sam.

" Why? Are you the only one who is allowed to ignore people? ", I say and run towards the washroom. Man, the parking lot is very far away from the restroom.

---+-----+++-------------+++++-------

" Didn't you that it's not that far away? ", Lucas.

" Yeah, but we only have been driving for only half an hour. ", Lily.

" But this road is deserted. It's like no one is going to the excavated site other than us.", Serena.

" Well, it's probably because not many people know about this place. ", Lily.

" Yeah, you are right. But it's still a wonder that nobody is here, especially in the era of the Internet. ", I say.

" Yeah, I have an idea about how to pass the time without getting bored. ", Claire.

" By playing on your mobile phones . ", Sam.

" No, Sam, please put your phone down for today. ", Lily.

" Yeah, Sam. You have the worst phone addict that I have ever met. ", Lucas.

" Yeah Sam, let us put our phones down for today and play something manually. ", Claire.

" Let us play related words.", Claire.

" What is that? ", Sam.

" If I will say a word then you have to say another word that is related to the one I said without any break," I say.

"  So now you are talking to me. ", Sam.

" Yeah, and we will only give five seconds to think. ", Lily.

" But no time is given to think. One has to answer immediately. " Claire.

" Oh come on. 5 seconds isn't even that much time. ", Lily.

" Focus on your driving Lily. ",  Serena.

" Ok, I will start, then Claire will answer, then Myra, then Sam, then Serena, and then Lily ",  Lucas.

" Ok, bed. ", Lucas.

" Sheet. "

" Pillow. ", I say.

" Wait a minute. How is pillow related to the sheet. ", Sam.

" All of them are part of bedding, duh...", I reply.

" This is stupid. ", Sam.

" Come on, Sam be serious. Listen to your elder sister for once ", Lily.

" Quilt.", Sam with a snort.

" Cotton.", Serena.

" Wool. ", Lily.

" Sheep. ", Lucas.

" Cow. ", Lily.

" Cat. ", I say.

" Dog. ", Sam.

" Horse. ", Serena.

" Horse riding. ", Lily.

" Horse riding is not a word. You said two words . ", Lucas.

" Horse riding is a compound word . ", Sam.

" Oh, as expected of a literature student . ", Lucas.

" No, we learn about compounds in 5th grade. Then again you were probably fooling around at that time . ", Claire.

" Claire you are seriously annoying me today. ", Lucas.

" Truth is always painful . ", Claire.

" Just play the game ...Lucas it's your turn. ", Lily.

" That's it Lily you are not driving anymore. I am the one who is going to drive. Stop the car! ", Serena.

" No, I want to drive. I will concentrate, promise. Besides we can't stop the car in the middle of the road . ", Lily.

AFTER AN HOUR :

" Finally, we are here ! ", Lily.

" Hossman, we are here! ", Claire exclaimed excitedly.
