 Part 14 - You Promised!

 "Okay, students, for now, we are giving you a free time. This free time will be your time to explore nature. But, we do encourage you not to stray too far from the campsites. This will also teach you how to explore foreign territory on your own. And, keep a lookout for your colored markers. The first team to find all ten markers win the Observation Challenge. For those with bodyguards, they'll be around to keep eyes on you. Our rules apply to all: All electronic devices will be taken away if you brought any, clearly disobeying our first rule. No experimenting with unknown plants. No going into the river. No climbing up the trees. No wild animal wrestling matches. No cruel pranks against each other. And no leaving without your buddies. There will also be no foul play with regards to the markers. Those caught tampering with the other teams' markers will entitle your team to a disqualification. Am I understood, students?"

I looked around and saw everyone nod. Most of the girls used something for the scratches on their legs. It's no wonder that the male population underestimates us. Chancey was standing to my right, ignoring the girls who wanted him to be their knight in shining armor. *sigh*

Em, Keely, Liam, Sam, Sky and Luke stood close to us, getting to know each other. I couldn't be bothered to acquaint them myself, they seem to be getting along rather well; if you count Sky's very loud debate with Keely concerning the purpose of dresses. I smiled to myself and watched as each of the buddies scampered off into the unknown--to us at least-- forest.

"We're heading out to the forest. Don't wait up," Ben said as he and Lee disappeared after we told them to be safe.

"Wait just a sec., guys. I'm just going to grab some things," I said to my friends and jogged to our campsite near here and went to my tent.

I unlocked the tent with my key and opened one of my duffels. I grabbed 3 Cheetos, 6 bars of chocolate and 5 Gatorade bottles. I put the chocolates in my pockets and held the Cheetos and Gatorade bottles in my hands, barely holding them up. When I exited my tent, I saw Thane look at me and raise an eyebrow. I shrugged and stupidly tried to lock the tent. Thane chuckled and locked it for me and put the key back in my pocket.

"Thanks," I said and smiled.

"No biggie. You need help?" he asked.

"Yeah, thanks again," I said and handed him the Gatorade bottles.

"Leave it to you to take advantage of a person's offer," he said and laughed.

I cracked a smile and made my way back to main campsite, to my friends.

"Okay, who do these go to?" Thane asked as we stopped.

"C and J, Sky, Luke and me," I said, and he passed it to each of them, receiving a thanks in the process.

I heard a bitter laugh from behind me and turned, only to see Giselle with her posse, my Cheetos still in my hand.

"Oh, look, girls. She has nicknames for the princes. She thinks she's close to them. So much for the whole, I'm not here for the princes thing," she said and her posse laughed.

2 out of her 5 posse members know I am close with them, but they laughed for the sake of Giselle's happiness and pride. You could easily tell they were faking.
