Chapter 5

I ended up taking a nap till we got there. I woke up on Justin's shoulder again. this time his arm was wrapped around me.

"EVERYBODY UP!" Mary yelled

All of us were asleep so we trudged off of the bus sleepily. we walked over to where Mary was handing out sandwiches and water bottles. Okay guys, Bathrooms are over there, she pointed to four small wooden stalls near where all of the tents were. I got my sandwiches, handed it to Samantha while I decided to go use the bathroom and change before everyone else decided to

I walked out of the bathroom wearing this . "Thanks" I told her. We walked over to where Ryan and Justin were sitting and eating. After we ate we were all exhausted and headed into our tents. I crawled into my sleeping bag and fell asleep instantly.

The next morning I woke up with Justin's arms wrapped around me like when I was younger. I had missed this. I checked my phone, it was 6:30 so I got up and it was quite warm. I untangled my self from his. I shook him awake. Mary had wanted Justin, Ryan , Samantha and myself at the school at seven o'clock.

I walked over to the bathrooms and changed into this and ran into Samantha wearing a very patriotic outfit. "Hey!" I said walking past her. "You ready to go see the kids?"

she nodded her head. "I'll be right back." I told her "I need to see if Justin is up."

I walked back into the tent and he was up he just didn't have a shirt on. he turned and saw me "uhh, sorry" I said snapping out of my trance

"Like what you see Martin." he smirked seeing me staring at me.

"What about you." He kept glancing at me after all I was just wearing a tank top and short shorts

"Whatever we gotta go." I said

We met up with Ryan and Mantha (A/N samantha may be called Mantha). All of us walked over to the school. It was just starting. Mantha and I were helping in the classrooms and Justin and Ryan were working on building new parts of the school.

We walked over to the school. Manth and I ran up to the school and entered. A woman walked up to us. she spoke very good English She directed us to a classroom full of little kids. The teacher looked at us and smiled. She as well spoke English

"Hello. My name is Christina and this is our first grade class." She said gesturing to the kids behind her.

"My name is Alexandra but I go by Alex and this is Samantha." I introduced us. "Is everyone fluent in English?"

She nodded "Yes it is required to learn it in our classes."

"Wow..." Samantha breathed "Its amazing. what are you guys doing now?"

"We are about to read." Christine said

"What are you reading?" I asked

"A traditional story called the spider and the honey tree." She told us. (A/N this is a real story)

"Would you like us to read it for you and you can get some other work done?" I asked her.

"Would you? That would be amazing" she thanked us

We walked up to the front of the room.

"Hi." I said "My name is Alex and this is Samantha. Were going to read to you today. Is that okay?" The class nodded Samantha handed me the book

"Once Upon a Time.." I began

There was once a young girl from a village far way who had a special talent for finding the very best foods in the bush. Her oranges were just a little sweeter, her plums just a little larger, and her bananas had just a little more flavor. Everyone wondered where she located such delicious fruits. But, nobody ever asked the girl about her secrets of the bush. That is, nobody asked her after they heard the story about Spider and this young girl.
