A/N: Hello!  Can you help me?  I'm having trouble as of late whether I'm doing fine or horribly.  I don't know what to do.  If you have something in mind, just let me know.  Your comments, suggestions and violent reactions are very much appreciated. Thank you!       :)


POV: Suzette

I'm trying to find  Zieg and Aimee. It's been a long time since they left --- Oh, there they are... sitting in the grass field.  Based on what I witnessed,   they were talking casually. Hmm.. I'll let them have their own moment. 

To be honest, the whole thing was my plan. I really want for them to reconcile, to be back to what they used to. Therefore, I asked the help of the others.

Let me tell you a secret, all the papers in the hat had number '8s' written on it. Yeah, ALL. We had already pre-selected numbers hidden in our pockets. The first part was for a show. And when the two distanced themselves from us, it's time for us to have a legit drafting process. I'm pretty clever, right? 

After more than an hour, Zieg came back to the campsite and asked me if where are the water glasses located. I saw his face... it looks like, he cried?  

I brought him to the place where the water glasses are and asked him if what those are for.

He said, "We gonna smash these to release all the heartaches we had."

"Psh. Okay, suit yourself, genius!" But once our teachers learned about this, they're dead!

Moments later, all of us in the campsite were stirred by the sounds of breaking, cracking glasses. Our teachers were alarmed to what was happening. I tried to clarify to them what was going on, with a scientific explanation that the two were just releasing their frustrations. Thankfully they understood, but they will not tolerate such actions.  Yup, GGWP! xD

It was almost midnight when those two went back. Geez, they're really maximized the moment huh. Sir Leroy and Ma'am Eds talked to them about what happened earlier. Based on what I heard, the two of them can't join the morning activities for tomorrow because they have to do housekeeping chores as a punishment.

The next day....

We went back to the campsite. We just concluded our morning activities. It was fun but Aimee and Zieg missed it. And right on cue, I saw my bestie, entertaining the others. But wait, where's the other one?

I asked her, "Hey Aims, you alone? Where's Zieg?"

"Huh? I think he's on the river, collecting water for us. Can you call him? We will be having our lunch in any minute..." Still, she's busy to what she is doing.

"Okay, okay. I'm on it."

So I followed him to the river. Geez, it's quite far than I expected. And finally, I saw him, topless and he wears only his worn-out jeans, fetching water with a bunch of containers in the river bank. Who else wearing jeans while they are fetching water? It's really hard to move with your jeans on!

I went near to call him. "Hey, Zieg! Continue that later. The lunch is ready! Let's eat first."

"Okay. I'm coming!" He put down a container he was holding and joined me going back to the campsite.

"'Sup? You're a mess and... wet!"

"I'm okay. I guess it's worth a mess."

"Huh? What do you mean?"
