What if

The young Chloe

"Wake up! Wake up!" shouted the elementary school teacher going from one tent to another. It was the first day of camp and different schools from all over the country gathered in one place to compete and learn at the same time.

Twelve-year-old Chloe yawned, blinked three times and got up.

It was the first day, but she has to be early since she has to gather all the students from her school. Let's just say that our little Chloe is chosen to be the leader, not because she's the smartest but because all the others qualified for this position is too feminine, unlike her.

She tied her hair and ran towards the place where all leaders from different schools would meet when they hear the whistle. They formed a line, she was in between a girl and a boy.

"Hi! I'm Danise. I think this would be our position for five days"

"Ohh.. Hi, I'm Chloe. I guess so."

"Nice to meet you Chloe, by the way that guy on your right is my friend. He's Alden"

Alden smiled and looked up front before the chief of camp scold them for talking. So, everyday the three of them are on the same line. They meet three times a day to get instructions from the chief. Some of the camping activities were crossing a rope bridge, hiking, building a fire, and all other stuffs you experience when you camp.

Then it was the last night of camp, the students were allowed to stay up a little late to catch up with new found friends. Chloe just stayed in her tent.

"Aren't you going out?" asked one of her friends.

"Hmm, nope. I'm actually not interested."

"Really? But there are lots of cute guys around! I was actually hoping I'd see Alden from the camp next to ours"

"Ehh, why?", Chloe asked in confusion.

"He's really handsome, you know. And a lot of our classmates are interested in him too. By the way  did you know that our teacher in Arts also teach in their school? Such a coincidence, maybe we're destined to meet"

Chloe in disbelief, "Ehhhh? But I thought Alden likes guys."

Pouting and a bit irritated, "How could you say that Chloe?"

"Well, for starters his movement is kind of feminine." (few seconds of thinking) "And ah! I just feel it"

"What? You just feel it? Never mind. I'm going out, enjoy your loneliness here."

Chloe stayed in her tent, and after a few minutes fell asleep.

"Last day! Last day! Everyone, please gather yourselves in the field."

"Atlast. I can go home and sleep comfortably, five days felt so long and the food was no good." Chloe told herself. She's thinking of eating meat as soon as she arrives home, veggies for five days was too much.

"Okay kids, this is your last chance to greet your friends. And to make it a little more exciting, I'm giving you 5 minutes to look for someone, who you'd like for you to remember. Don't be shy and give them any kind of remembrance that you have on your pockets right now!"
