SANTA

'Wake up everyone!' says someone from outside the tent. I open my eyes to find Perth looking at me. I smile at his face.
'What are you doing?' I ask him. 'Looking at you. I can't help, you're cute to look
at' he says.
I turn to the side to look at him.
He comes near to kiss me but-
'Oh, look at you. Two little love birds.' says Book as he enters the tent.
I sit up and see Perth giving side eyes to him. 'Come on, let's go!' I say to him as I get up.

PERTH

'Eggs?I don't like eggs. Is there something else too?' says Pond.
'Stay hungry then, and let me have the eggs atleast.' I say to him.
We all sit down at the table as Santa starts saying 'I heard Mr. Rit saying that today we will do rock climbing and also raft building.'
'I once did rock climbing, I guess that was two years ago? But I also fell and broke my arm.' says Dunk.
'Don't worry. You will be fine this time. The school has to ensure our safety.' says Santa.
'Let's hope so. replies Dunk.

AOU

'How is the decoration going?' I ask View.
'Pretty fine, but people are looking at and asking what's going. sing on. she replies View continues 'How are things over there?'
'His father hasn't waken up yet. The doctors are saying he might not ever be able to wake up, but he can hear us faintly' I reply.

'Boom, Don't you have class today?" I ask him.
Boom : It's in the afternoon, but I can't go. I have to be here and take care of him.
Aou: You can go I will stay here with him.
Boom: You yourself too have class.
Aou: My attendence is fine. You have missed way too many classes of yours.
Boom: Are you sure you will be here with him?
Aou: Yes. Ofcourse.
'Here you go.' Boom says as he gives me a peace of paper.
'The doctor asked me to get these medicines for him.' he continues.
'Okay. Don't worry. You go.' I say to him as he leaves the room.
I call Film.
'Hello?' answers film over the call.
Aou: You have afternoon class, right?
Film: Yes. What about it?
Aou: I have sent Boom for his just now. His mood isn't well. Please take care of him.
Film: Okay okay. Let me tell Gun also. He is also there.
Aou: Okay
Film: How is his father by by the way?
Aou: Now His health is fine, but he is in coma. Boom is sad because of this. Though the doctors are saying he will be alright, but Boom is still worried.
Film : Okay okay. We will take care of him.

SANTA

'Shia! We have to climb this?!' says Dunk.
'Hey hey relax child. It's not that big, just 10 metres in height. You will also use safety harnesses.' replies Mr.Rit.
It took us nearly an hour to come of here. All the way to the near top of this hill. This is going to be so tiring.
'I will show you how to do this first, then one by one you all will do and yeah you have to get off there also.' says Mr.Rit.
We have to get off there also?!
'Okay let me start now. First of all. Put on the safety material.
You just have to wear this and then this guy over here will put on the harness and rope to your clothes. Once you start climbing shout 'I am climbing' so that the guy up there gets informed to pull you slowly up. Then once there they will change the harness and then you can get off.' Mr.Rit continues.
He shows us a demo.
'Who wants to start first? You...you come...You will start' he says pointing towards Perth.
Perth nods.
With a scared face he goes forward trying to look cool and wears the safety material.
'I am climbing!' he shouts as he starts going up.
He goes up pretty fine while coming down he faces some problem.
'How am I even supposed to do this?' Perth says as he looks around to figure out something.
He slowly continues coming down.
'Perth, perth come down from there!' shouts Book.
He continues 'Keep your feet there Perth!'
Perth who is already annoyed shouts back 'Book shut up!'
Everyone around goes laughing.
When he comes down I ask him 'Are you fine?'
He kindly replies 'Khap' with a smile on his face.
'Look at you Perth. Kind to him. Not me. I am your friend, man! You know that, right?!' says Book.
'Shut up. I wouldn't have done that if you hadn't told me how to come down like a hundred times.'

'Ouch!' I shout as I sleep on one of the rocks while coming down the hill.
'Are you okay?' says Perth.
I look at my scratched knee which is bleeding.
'Let me call Mr.Rit, he must have something for this.' says Dunk as he goes and gets Mr.Rit to me.
'It is not that bad. We are just about to reach the place. Can you take care of yourself till then?' He asks to me.
I nod a yes.
'Come, I will help you.' says Perth as he slides his hand under my arms holding my waist lightly.
He helps me get down.

'Our next activity is raft building. There will be two teams - A and B. You will be handed over material to build raft. Build it in any way you want. Then you will race with the raft you build from one end of the pool to another.' says Mr.Rit.
We are handed bamboo sticks and rubber tyres.
We are in team B.
A few minutes later our raft is prepared.
For the first round, me, Dunk , Book and Perth go from our team.
We wear life jackets and are handed wooden sticks for rowing the raft.
'Three, two, one, start!'
We start rowing our raft, it goes pretty fine until we notice the other team which is quite a head of us.
'Row it fast!' I shout.
That's what we do and we win.
'Come slowly!' says Pond as he open his arm to help us easily come out of the pool.
When I step out of the raft, I don't know what happens next.
Was their a hole in my life jacket?
Or is it because I don't know how to swim?
I don't know but I faint.
In water.

'Santa! Santa! Are you okay?' says Mr.Rit as I wake up.
'What happened to me?' I ask him.
'You drowned and then fainted but luckily Perth saved you. Well I have to go,you take care of yourself.' Mr.Rit replies.
Santa : Thank you for saving me na.
Perth : Yeah. It's alright. Are you okay?
Santa : Hmm...I feel fine.
Dunk : You know what, man? Perth jumped into the water to save you from drowning. He shouted 'Santa!' and then without thinking twice he jumped and got you out. It was scary, you know?
Santa : Really? He did that?
Dunk : Yeah. It was so cool.

It's so nice to know Perth cares about me.
Or else he wouldn't have risked his life to save me. I really am lucky.
Having someone like him there for me.

PERTH

'Oh? What are you doing here? It's not our turn today.' I ask Santa as I look back to find him standing there.
Santa : That should be my question, what are you doing here? In this forest.
Perth : Oh, the stars are so pretty. Not prettier than you but, you know? Looking at you is a better view for me.
Santa : Shut up. So uh...Are we in a situationship right now?
Perth : Situationship? Why?
Santa : Well, you like me and we have kissed also...

I laugh at what he said. So I get closer and whisper in his ear 'But I thought we were dating already.'
He too laughs at my words and replies 'Shut up. Don't make me blush!!!.'
Wierd guy.
Maybe this is the reason I like him.

BOOM

'I really need you to be here Boom...Things are not well. Please come!!' says Aou over the call.
'Don't worry, don't worry! Mother is here with father! I will be there soon!' I reply as I cut the call.
What's going on there?!
Is everything okay?!
Ugh.
I reach Aou's restaurant.
It's so dark in here.
'Hello? Aou?' I say as I enter the restaurant.
'Happy Birthday to you, Happy birthday to you. Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday to you.' sings everyone as the lights switch on.
Boom : What's going on here?
Film : Oh!!! You don't know anything or are you acting dumb? I feel it's the latter. We organised you a party.
Boom : Thank you all so much. Who thought of the design? It's amazing.
Gun : I did. I remember you suggested this for View's birthday.
Boom : It's seriously beautiful.
View : Come, let's cut the cake. Let's go.
