iii. Berman, prime strike

Gloria was running around the camp with Annie and Becky, the rabbits kept jumping from one side to the other and they were so elusive that it was difficult to catch them. Gloria felt her heart beating against her chest and tiredly directed her hand to it. They had been running after the small white animals for more than forty minutes and although there were fewer and fewer of them to catch, there were still a notable number outside.

"I can't take it anymore, I give up " Sheila arrived next to Gloria and leaned on her shoulder with obvious fatigue.

"It's useless, we'll never be able to catch them all," Will murmured as he took long breaths of air.

Gloria nodded slowly and squatted down in an attempt to rest a little. Next to her, Sheila did the same, blowing a little air with her hand. After a while Annie and Becky joined them and the five of them found themselves tired watching the counselors running back and forth.

"Who do you think could do this stupid thing? "Annie asked, alternating her gaze between her friends.

"I think it's obvious."Becky let out a frustrated sigh."Who is the only person you don't see here helping?"

"And as if the lightbulb that illuminated Sheila's brain had turned on, she responded."Ziggy Berman.

Gloria turned her face towards Sheila and watched as the girl stood up and began walking in Kurt's direction.

"Hey Sheila! "Gloria shouted. “Where are you going?”

"I have something to tell Kurt and Nick. Berman must get his punishment."

Gloria rolled her eyes and stopped her steps, letting Sheila continue until she reached the counselors. He turned around to return to his friends, however in the distance at the beginning of the forest he managed to see the red hair of the person who caused the whole disaster.
Ziggy walked hurriedly and each time he entered the forest, Gloria frowned and with curiosity overcoming her, she passed by her friends and headed towards the forest.

" Monica, where are you going?"Will questioned.

— I'll be back before snack.

Without giving it much importance, Will nodded and then headed towards Sheila with Annie and Becky behind him while Monica increased her pace so as not to lose sight of Ziggy's hair.
All the way into the forest Monica kept a safe distance from the girl so that she would not notice her presence, and things went well until the trees stopped camouflaging her and her shadow became visible on the green grass free of trees that It surrounded the famous witch tree.

" Since when have you been following me?"

"Since when do you think I've been following you? "Gloria answered and asked.

"It is rude to answer one question with another."

"Ah, in Shadyside they do teach you manners."Monica mocked. " It's quite surprising, I have to say."

Ziggy stopped his pace and turned to look at Gloria with a frown and obvious annoyance on his face.

"Is that my Walkman? "Gloria asked when she could identify her music player in Ziggy's hands. "What are you doing like him? How did you get it? Do you know how much it costs? It hasn't even been released on the market yet, if you damage it I'm going to kill you Berman."

Ziggy raised an eyebrow and a mocking smile appeared on his lips. "Don't worry, don't worry, I just borrowed it for a few hours, along with this." From the back pocket of the denim shorts he was wearing, he took out one of the ABBA cassettes that he was wearing. They belonged to Gloria.
