After the lesson, we need to get out of the forest by ourselves and find our dormitory. The instructor give us a map and a direction has been set up in the forest. As long as we follow it, we won't get lost. We also reminded to search for our lunch ingredients along the way.

The thirty people in the group are divided into ten. Three people will search for the way out together. Fortunately, Jane and Danielle are in the same group as me. I won't have a problem to cooperate with them.

"How is it?" Danielle ask me when we're deep in the forest. I look at her, confused by the question.

"What do you mean?"

"How does it feel when getting caught like a princess? Not just by anyone, but a handsome guy as well as your first crush."

"I would prefer getting caught by a monkey," I snort. Then I walk to a tree and pick up a mushroom on it. I put it in my plastic bag. There's a lot of mushrooms here and it makes me feel delight.

"Don't pick carelessly. It might be poisonous," Jane warn. I nod.

"I know. I have took note of all the edible mushrooms during our lessons earlier. I won't take the mushrooms that is not on the list." After that, we were separated from each other to search the ingredients. We regroup after fifteen minutes.

"I have picked all the herbs I can find. Shall we begin to search a way out now?" I nod my head at Jane's suggestion. I begin to climb a tree to look for the arrows that has been nailed to a tree. That will be our direction.

"Wait. I saw someone. That person is leaning on the tree with her face bury on her knees. Do you think she's lost?" I ask them after I went back down to the ground.

"Let's find out," Danielle says and lead the way. After seeing the person up close, I know who it is.

"Aya!" I go to her and lift up her head. Her eyes are red and there's a wetness around her eyes. One look and I know she's been crying.

"What's wrong? What happened to you?" I ask her worriedly. She instantly hugs me and start crying. I just let her be. I know I need to wait for her to calm down. I decided to be her comfort place and soothe her.

"Have you calm down? Now tell me what happened." She nods her head and begin her story.

"I broke up with my boyfriend. Zack, me and the other girl from the All-Girls High school are in the same group to search the way out. Turns out, that girl is actually his ex. She asked him if they could get back together but he ignored it at first. But when I went to search for the ingredients, by the time I get back, I saw them kissing."

"The worst thing is, he didn't even push her back when he saw I was there. In the end, I throw all the ingredients I have gathered to his face and break up with him," she finishes her story. I hug her again after hearing it.

"Good job. I will give you eight out of ten for quickly left such a jerk," I say to her and she frowns.

"What about the remaining two?" She meant about my rating.

"You should have left a huge mark on his face. Don't you think that cheater deserves a mark as a way to show people that he has been cheating?"

"That's a good idea! Let's do it after we found him at the dorm," Danielle suggests.

"Yeah. Let's get out of here quickly."

💗💗

We arrived at our dorm at two. We need to fill our names first before we can enter our room. Our belongings has already being placed on each of our bed. Just like the instructor said, there will be people who will bring our belongings so we don't have to bring it with us.
