SANTA

'Wake up...We have reached Santa.' said Perth as I opened my eyes.
'What time is it?' I ask him.
'6 p.m. Let's go.' he says as he walks out of the bus.
I follow him but Pond stops me when he shouts my name.
'Santa!' he said.
'Yes?' I ask him.
'While you were sleeping, Perth took alot of photos of you. He said you look really cute when you sleep.' said Pond to me as he too went down the bus.
I smiled as I followed him down.
We take our luggage and get inside the place.

'Everyone you have 10 minutes, make groups of five people each and come to me. I will assign you a specific tent where you will be living during this trip. Oh yeah I forgot to introduce myself. I am Ritthirong Suwannathat. I will be your guide during this trip. You can call me Mr.Rit. Anyway you can make your groups now' the guide there said.
Me, Perth, Pond, Book and Dunk have decided to stay together in a tent. We go to Mr. Rit and ask him to assign a tent to us.
'I am assigning you to the first tent. You formed the group quite quickly. Are you all friends?' he asks us.
'Khap. We all are in the same class.' Book says to him.
'Okay okay. Here you go. Write your full name and nickname here.' Mr. Rit says as he hands us the register. 'Let's keeps our things in our tent, shall we?' asks Perth.
We all nod a yes.

'Wow! It's bigger than I thought it would be!' says Dunk as he enters the tent.
'I will take this bed.' I say. I pick the bed which is by the wall.
'I will take the one beside yours then.' says Perth.
'The middle one is mine!' shouts Dunk.
'Oh no no Dunk. It is mine!' shouts back Book as he lays down on it.
'Get off here! It's my bed!' says Dunk.
Well they fight for another 5 minutes. Eventually Pond is the one who will be sleeping in the middle.

PERTH

A few minutes later everyone has been assigned a tent.
'Since the tents are decide head let me proceed with the first task of yours.' says Mr. Rit as he continues 'You all will be having an early dinner today which you will be making yourself. Your first task is to find the ingredients hidden in the forest in groups of five. We have marked the boundary and you have to stay inside it. There are fine ingredients - Rice, vegetable, spices, soy sauce, tofu. You will find them in wooden boxes. You have two hours to do the finding and making of food. Come back here when you are done. The quickest ones win. You can start now!'

'Come on guys! Follow me!' shouts Dunk.
'Hey hey! Come back!' I shout to him.
'Okay so here's what we are going to do. Five items. Us five. Let's get one item each. Santa you go for rice. Dunk you go for spices. Pond, soy sauce. Book, tofu and I will go for vegetables.
'Okay' says everyone as we go into the forest.
I find tofu in the bushes near some tree however I leave it there. That's not what I am supposed to find.
A few minutes pass just like that yet I have still not found any box with vegetables. This is surely gonna take long.

-Two hours later-

'Guys, did you find everything?' asks Pond.
Me and Book nod a yes.
We look at Dunk who says 'Sorry man. I couldn't find the spices but I did find the rice.'
'That's what Santa was supposed to find. Every group is nearly done. You might have found the last box of rice. That's why he is not here.' I say.
'Ugh. I will just go find him and bring him back.' I say as I go back.
A few minutes later I find him sitting somewhere playing with a cat.
Perth : What are you doing? You did not find rice, right?
Santa : Nope. I did find spices. I guess rice is not here I looked for it everywhere.
Perth : You know what? Dunk found rice. Come on. Let's go back.
Santa : Look at this cat. I think it is hungry. Let's take it with us.

I look at him and smile. He surely is very kind.
'Okay. Let's go.' I say to him as we head back.

SANTA

'Wow Santa! You make such good meals! This was so tasty!' says Book.
I smile at him and answer 'Thank you so much na. Phi'Aou taught me to make this. You should eat food made by him sometime. He makes it really well' I say.
'Everyone after you finish your meal come to the bonfire.' says Mr. Rit.
When everyone sits down, one of the guides starts saying 'You know a few months back, an incident happened here.'
Mr.Rit looks at him and says 'You really want to tell them about them?'
The guide nods a yes and continues 'So a group of friends came here. They included a pair of siblings. The boy was very naughty. He went into the woods even when I told him not to. The sister got worried and went to find him. You know, they happened been back? We searched everywhere but no one was to be found. When the friends were here, they reported hearing their voices at times. They even had a black cat with them, but we never saw it in their hands when they went back.'
Well what he said was enough to send a chill down my spine.
BLACK CAT?!
I FOUND A BLACK CAT IN THE FOREST TOO.
'Hey! Don't care the kids! Everyone, you are safe. Nothing has been reported after that!' says Mr.Rit.
He continues 'Come on! Let's play some camp games, shall we?'
We then play some games.
After an hour or so Mr.Rit says 'Okay so nowadays a metor shower can be seen in the night sky. We have two telescopes so daily two groups will be allowed to stay awake till 12 a.m. You can watch the sky for that time period. For today it is group one and two. Rest you all have to sleep now.'
'This is going to be so fun!' Perth says to me.
A few minutes later Mr. Rit gives us the telescope saying 'Your group is lucky. Today is the brightest day of red moon.'
Nice.
'I will go first!' says Pond as he looks through the telescope.
He then continues 'I can see the meteors. They are kind of dimly visible. It does look nice.'
Dunk then says 'My turn!...Wow! Give me my phone. I will click a picture of this!'
'Hey my turn, my turn!' I say to Dunk, but he doesn't listen to me.
I get the telescope from him like ten minute later.
The view is actually very pretty.'I can't see the moon.' I say to them.
'Rotate the telescope towards right. It's there.' says Perth.
It's soo clear and beautiful.

AOU

-Tuesday-

'It's Boom's birthday tomorrow.' I say to everyone when Boom is not there.
I then continue 'But I do need your help. We must organise a party for him.'
View : Party for him?Where?
Film : Aou's mother's restaurant.
Aou : Preparations me and Santa will do- Ugh no. Santa is not here. You all will help me.
Louis : Okay. What should the decoration design be?
Gun : Guys...I remember on View's birthday when we were planning her a surprise party, Boom kept suggesting this design for decoration. It was totally emo and not at all how View actually likes. I guess I have a picture of that. I will show you. Let's decorate like that, he will love it.
Film : Show it show it...yeah this looks nice.
Aou : I will get the material ordered right now. After class just go to my house and get as much decoration done as you can.
Louis : You won't go with us?
Aou : I have to go with Boom to see his father in the hospital.
View : Okay.

-In the hospital-

I take the lift to the floor and then head to the room.
Boom is there on a chair.
Sleeping.
I sit next to him and pat his head lightly, not waking him up.
'You must be going through so much Boom.I hope everything gets well.' I think to myself.
A few minutes later Boom wakes up.
Boom : Oh? You're here?
Aou : Yeah. How is your father?
Boom : Better. The doctors are saying he might wake up soon.
Aou : Okay. That's good. Have you had something?
Boom : Nope.
'Come with me. Let's eat something downstairs.'. I say to him as I drag him downstairs with me.
