Q . What is your biggest fear?

**___________________________________________**

Letting out a yawn I sat straight on the mattress and stretched my arms to relieve the pain that was coming from my back. It's been long since I slept on ground so it was uncomfortable. Turning towards Brittany I shook her gently but she just shifted into the blanket and made no effort of waking up.

This girl. Waking her is the toughest task in the world.

"Bree, wake up",I shook her harder this time to which she let out a grunt. "I want to use washroom".

She opened one eye and cried," You're waking me up for a pee".

"Bree", I whined as she refused to get up.

Ignoring all my efforts she pulled the blanket over her head and went back to deep slumber. Sighing heavily I got up from my place and started walking out aimlessly.

"Wow",I let out a whisper as I stared at the fog around the whole place. At night I couldn't admire the beauty of this place properly, now because of the sunlight I could see the magnificent glory of this place.

But my bladder stopped me from looking at the beautiful place, clutching my stomach tightly I walked around all the tent searching for the washroom.

Finally after long 5 minutes and searching around most of the tent I found the washroom, I sighed in happiness as I relieved myself. Cleaning my hands I swinged on my feet as I walked out , in the process of admiring the greenary my head came in contact with a hard chest.

"Careful",I looked up and saw Ben holding my shoulder to stop me from falling. I smiled and took a step back.

As I placed a hair strand behind my ear but  my hand came in contact with the nest. A small screech left my lips and I started comb my hair with fingers.

Ben's hand took mine and he patted his other hand over my head to tame my wild hair. My heart melted seeing the small smile decorating his wet lips. My eyes zeroed on his wet , dark hair , they followed the moment of one droplet which passed from his forehead to nose and ended up reaching my bottom lip.

Before I could get any chance of wiping it his cold thumb came over my bottom lip as he wiped it away.

"You should take a bath now, after few minutes it'll get too crowded",he said and walked away after giving a pat on my cheek.

I touched my head shyly and then covered my cheeks where he just patted me.

His statement turned true. Here I was standing in the queue with Brittany where people were fighting for bath. Thankfully I took Ben's advice and took an early bath but Brittany wasn't as fortunate as me , I couldn't help but laugh at her expression.

"Bi, you're laughing at me",she stomped her foot.

"It's all your fault. I told you to get up",I shrugged.

She looked at the crowd then back at me," Is it fine if I don't take bath for one day?"

I scrunched my nose and pulled away from her, she kept yelling at me as I walked in other direction.

"There is no way I am doing this",I took a step back.

Brittany joined my hand with her and dragged me forward," We're doing this",she grinned.

"No way"

"Yes way"

"Nope"

"Yup"
