Today's the mandatory field trip for science. We're going into the forest to spot hidden camouflaged animals. I'm not actually that crazy about it, neither are Remy & Lara, but, since we're paired up with our soulmates, I'm just thinking of this as a scavenger hunt with Luke, it could be fun.

"I hate mud," I said for the 25th time in the last 15 min.
Luke laughed," I know that Nellie, what I dunno is how many times r u gonna say it?"
"Sorry," I mumbled.
He laughed harder.
"C'mere," he engulfed me in a hug & then picked me up & sat me down on a log, then he came & sat beside me.
"I know we're supposed to be taking pics of hidden animals, but they're hidden, so whatever, let's talk," he said.
"As much as I'd love to, me wanna get a good grade," I whined.
"10 min? Pretty please?" Luke said with a mocked pout.
"Anything for u," I said.
He smirked.
"Tell me, Nel, r u scared about finally finishing college & living real lives in the real world?" he asked me.
"I remember we having this type of talk just before high school was done," I said. "Could u imagine, Luke, how long we've come?!"
"I know, Nellie. We're almost done. Not just High School done, really done. Finally done," he sighed.
"We're gonna be together every step of our new life, right?" I asked.
I was hinting on getting married. But he didn't seem to notice. Was it possible he didn't want us to get married at all? Nope, couldn't be.
"Of course, darling. How could you think otherwise?" he smiled.
"I didn't," I said.
"I knew it!" he laughed.
He kissed me. Right then, I knew that we're always gonna be together, no matter what.
