CHAPTER 19

Aesha's Point Of View

"Moo, wake up," Kyler's voice brought me back to reality. I could feel the touch of his hand on my cheek. I opened my eyes and looked at him. "We're here," he said with a smile. I adjusted my sitting position and looked out the window. Indeed, we had arrived. Several vans were parked, carrying other students who joined the field trip. It seemed like everyone was already here. I just noticed that Kyler and I were the only ones left in the van.

He helped me get out of the van. I stood by the van as he grabbed our belongings. The name 'Sitio Pungayan' greeted us at the gate. This must be the name of the place we're staying. Stella had already sent her bag to Alexander. I could still see them, the first ones to walk towards the villa we'll be staying in. After Kyler got our stuff, we followed them.

Stella, Hope, Natasha, and I shared a large room. In the lower room were Kyler, Wesley, Justine, and Alexander. Each villa should accommodate 10 students. Emerald didn't join us because she went on a field trip with Faure University. Her boyfriend goes there.

There were five beds in one room, and our villa was complete. There was a kitchen, two bathrooms for males and females, and a spacious living room. The villas were close to each other, with a large oval garden in the middle and a bench. There's also a large gym where we'll have our activities. After settling our belongings, the tour guide told us about the forest and caves where tourists usually visit. It's so cold, even though it's only three in the afternoon. Not far from here, there's a sea called 'El Caseron Beach Resort.' It's about two hours away, but it doesn't seem too far. The tour guide's explanation was quite confusing. Haha.

We all got out of the van together with Stella, Natasha, and Hope. We were wearing thick jackets and pajamas. It's still chilly inside. There will be a bonfire later at seven. For now, we're heading to the gym because our professors called us.

The boys met us halfway. Kyler was wearing a bonnet, pajamas, and a black jacket. Alexander was wearing a blue jacket with a bonnet, and he was also wearing pajamas. They seemed to have coordinated their outfits. Haha.

Kyler held my waist as we walked out of the villa. We're now in the gym. We're sitting cross-legged. There must be about 500 students here. We were divided into 10 lines with 50 students each.

Hope was standing in front of all of us, along with our professors. Students from different year levels were here, so it was quite lively. This is the first time Henderson University has organized such an activity since I enrolled.

"I have four pieces of fabric of different colors: blue, red, yellow, and orange. This is a random game. For those who want to participate, everyone should join in various games. Now, I need four representatives to lead their respective teams."

"Miss Hope, the Badass Four!" a female student shouted from the back.

"Yes!" others agreed. I looked at Kyler and smiled.

"Okay. Alexander, Kyler, Wesley, and Justine... stand up," they all stood up. They were facing Hope and us behind them. "Close your eyes, and I'll choose a color for you." They followed her instructions. Hope first chose Justine. Justine picked a yellow fabric, then stood by the side. Wesley was next. He chose orange fabric. Kyler followed. He picked blue, leaving red for Alexander. "Now that the four leaders have chosen their colors, I need 16 more students. Each leader will have four members." Stella pulled me up, laughing. She was looking at me teasingly. This girl is something else, she almost dislocated my bones.

The three of us, along with Natasha, went to the front. We stood at the back of the line. Carrie, Bomi, and Cheska were in front of us, waiting. Bomi approached Alexander because she chose red fabric. It was obvious she was excited. Carrie went to Kyler because blue was her choice. Cheska went to Justine, as she picked yellow. Just one member was left for Alexander, Kyler, and Justine. It was now just Stella, Natasha, and I left. Hope still had blue, red, and yellow fabrics. We were at the back of the line, with Natasha in front of me and Stella behind me.
