"What are you doing here? I've been trying to find you!" Ismael shouted when our eyes met.

Ismael looked at the cliff, and I could see the shock in his eyes when he saw Savannah. Ismael turned to me as if he wanted to ask me why my classmate went there, but because he is smart enough to know the answer, he immediately understood that it was more important to help Savannah get out first than to talk about what happened.

Ismael first helped me to stand up before helping Savannah, who was now crying non-stop, and hugging Ismael while thanking her endlessly. Ismael grimaced at me while apologizing. I'm not the type to get jealous easily, so it's fine with me. Savannah was probably just scared, so she hugged the one who helped her.

Everyone was surprised by the appearance of the three of us, whose bodies were full of dirt. They were asking what happened.

"Jothea, what happened to you?" Raviel inquired when he saw me.

Ismael immediately pulled me closer to him. "You should clean up now," he whispered. "You might get sick because you got wet from the rain," he said firmly before walking away from us.

"O-okay," I answered, knowing I knew he didn't hear. I turned to Savannah to ask her to take a shower when I saw her staring at Raviel. Wait a minute...

I was stunned to realize it all.

"Savannah!" I called her. "Come on, let's take a shower. We're a mess!"

She glanced at me and followed. I thought she was going to argue with me. Fortunately, she did not, because I don't have the energy for it anymore.

We went to the shower room together to take a bath. We were both naked.

I closed my eyes, feeling tired. I've been walking up and down hills in the jungle looking for flags. Hold on, where are our flags?

"Savannah, where are our flags?" I asked her. I noticed her staring and watching the water drip from the shower. She didn't answer.

"H-hey, are you okay?" I approached her and touched her shoulder. She turned to me.

"Do you like Raviel?" I was surprised by her sudden question. But it confirms that my hunch was right. She likes Raviel, and maybe that was the reason why her blood boils for me.

"No. I already like Ismael." I couldn't stop my mouth from answering her directly. I saw her blink for a moment. Shit. Why am I so honest? "I mean, P-professor Ismael..." I corrected, but it seemed too late.

"And he likes you too..."

I nodded. "Yes, he likes me too."

I saw a glimpse of hope in her face. I feel like something has changed about her. She was talking to me calmly. It's effective. What Ismael said to me was real. When you don't return evil for evil, your argument will end. It's actually more convenient when there are no enemies.

"I see. Maybe there's something that Professor Mondalla sees in you that's why he liked you... and somehow, I can see a part of it now. Thanks for helping me earlier. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be here."

I smiled and shook my head. "Ismael helped you. It wasn't me."

After we showered, we returned to the field. They were all looking at Savannah and me. I looked at Ismael curiously to ask him what was wrong, but he just smiled. I noticed the five flags he was holding. Wait, is that ours?

"And to our winners, Miss Savannah Dela Fueroz and Miss Jothea Alvandra! May we call on the team in front?"

I gasped when I heard my name. I looked up to Savannah; she was surprised too. I smiled and pulled her to get our prize. Two thousand five hundred is fine when divided! Now I can buy rice!
