The songs of my life

Bam bam

What's up? This is this week's chapter; I'm pretty sure you know this song, please play it when it says. Please enjoy it.

Cat goes to work listening to "the weeknd", for some reason she's enjoying it more. She attends the meetings she's planned; she needs to arrange everything for the camping; also, she orders the truck to pick the boxes and take them to the office. She arrives home, it's too silent, empty...I need a cat she thinks.

Everybody agreed to meet early to arrange everything to the camping, they're going to the outskirts, it's 3-4 hours driving, four coaches are taking everybody. As Élise predicted Cat arrives without looking at her directly, she's busy organizing everything and everyone; Élise doesn't have a friend to be with, Jul is busy with Marine and Kary but she doesn't care, the team gets on the coach, Élise sits in the third row with another person form 'the fairies', her name is Karol, she's a 50 year-old woman, they've seen in meetings but never talked, so she puts her earphones on, the coach is on about to leave when she gets on too, Élise looks at her astounded, Cat sits on the second row, in front on her, they're so near but they cannot talk, it's not that she can come and talk to the boss in front of everyone, she stops those thoughts and listens to her music.

"Excuse me". Karol touches her shoulders.

"Yes?"

"I brought some sandwiches with me; would you like one?" She opens a lunch box with what it seems delicious sandwiches. Karol notices Élise wants some. "Here, take it". She gives her one.

"This is so good, thank you". Élise was getting hungry.

"I'm glad you like it...are you from the design team?"

"Yes, I'm Élise Ferranhow but you can call me Élise".

"What a beautiful name, I'm Karol Martín; your accent is a bit different, you're not from here, right?"

"I was born and raised in Scotland, but my mum was from here".

"I've been to England but never Scotland".

"Oh it's beautiful, the landscapes are not from this world".

"So, why do you live here?"

"As a designer I have better opportunities here; besides, I lived here with my grandma we had a special relationship". The woman sighs and starts telling her story about her sons and daughters and grandchildren, she's got 3 but they don't live there. In no time they arrive to the campsite, it's enormous, there are 40 cottages organized by 10 in a circle, every ten cottages had their own big bathroom, in the middle of everything is a playground and a place for the BBQ, the leaders were notified where they were staying so they organized their people and take them to their cottage; they have to unpack and meet in the BBQ area to have breakfast, Élise doesn't know when Cat prepared everything, there's a big buffet for them, they can sit on the wooden tables and choose whatever they want, there the rank or teams don't matter, they can sit with whoever they want, Élise sits on a table and other people sit there with her but she's busy looking for her, although there's nowhere to be seen, probably she's busy organising more things.

She's having fruit, cereal and toasts when Jul sits next to her.

"Hey Élise, isn't this great?"

"Yeah, it's good...is it always like this?" Jul has more time working there.

"No, every year is different but it's always relaxing, Mrs. Andino seems serious, but she puts effort on this".

"Yeah". She continues eating not commenting more about Cat who seems serious but she's known her more. "What's next?"
