The Camping Trip!

Chapter 4 - I have asthma

Chapter 4

After that nice and refreshing shower, i wore my clothes and prepared my things for camp. The activities would be a secret because it would look like suspense, said Mr Robinson. Sometimes i just don't understand that guy. He's absolutely nuts.

Anyway, Charles wasn't kidding when he said he's gonna make me pay for what i did to him. Specifically the one when i accidentally thew a rock at him earlier.

That jerk messed up my points for the camp and made me look bad. First, while we were being thought how to tie knots, he said some crappy information on how to tie the knot faster. And me, being the fool i am believed him! My knot ended up looking more like a twig than a ribbon. Then, when we were making fire, he spat on my work, literally. Ugh!

That's not even the worst part. The worst thing was when we were being thought how to row a boat. Mr Robinson decided to pair us with our cabin partners so of course i was paired up with him! I ended up falling into the lake while seeing his laughing face.

By the end of the day, Mr. Robinson said i sucked at everything. That bastard. It was so irritating and aggravating that i stomped my way back. On the way there, Britney and her friends walked up to me.

"Hey uhm, i have a favour to ask." She said with her stuck up voice. I nodded for her to continue.

"Can you like, stay away from him?" She said. I was confused fro a moment but then a struck of realisation hit me.

"Or else what?" I asked, not really intending to sound cocky. I just asked. He smirked and stepped closer to me.

"Or else this!" And before i knew it, her perfectly manicured hand was on my right cheek. She slapped me. The bitch freaking slapped me! I was gonna fight back but, what could i do? I was frail and weak, i don't even tire myself too much because of my asthma.

"Or else that. Now learn your lesson and stay away from him, he's mine" She said arrogantly then walked away with her friends cockily laughing. I held in my tears and just continued to walk back quietly to our cabin. Man, i'm beat. And her slap wasn't really all rainbows and sunshines. It was more like fire and hell.

I cleaned myself up and looked in the mirror. I winced at the sight of my swollen right cheek. Have i forgot to mention? I'm anaemic so, so much of just merely touching me makes it form bruises.

I sighed and just hurried of to bed before Charles gets back. But it was too late. Just as i was going to walk to my bed, Charles walked into our shared cabin.

"Hah! I told you i'd get you- whoa. What happened to your face?" Charles asked, actually looking concerned. That jerk.

"None of your business. Just bumped into a tree" I snapped.

"I was just asking. Man, i didn't know you were such a klutz" he said while trying to hide his laughter.

I glared at him and just went to bed. If only he knew that he was the reason for this swollen face of mine. I don't even like Charles, is what i wanted to tell Britney but her hand got the best of her. Only 1 week and 4 days ti'll this trip is over. All i have to do is ignore Charles. Piece of cake. Ugh, who am i kidding? That dude is stuck to me like a leach! And sharing a room with him makes it even harder. Ugh!!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day, i had a bad feeling that something bad is going to happen. When i woke up, Charles was already outside. I took a shower and headed out to get some breakfast.

Today they served Bacon and eggs. What a nice breakfast. I ate silently and thanked God for this food. A few minutes later, Charles joined me. Oh no. Britney was watching.

"Why are you always alone?" He asked.

"A popular guy like you wouldn't understand" I said, trying not to stutter. By now, you can just imagine her anger towards me.

"I'm still just a human you know. I'll under-"He was cut iff when Britney and her friends suddenly popped up beside us.

"Charles honey, why are you talking to that loser?" She said, sneering at like like she was so disgusted. My jaw dropped but i quickly closed them. I don't stand a chance against her anyway so there's no use in arguing any further.

"Excuse me? My cabin mate isn't a loser. In fact, we'll prove it to you. Later at the marathon run around the jungle. We'll beat you" he said confidently, oblivious to my panicked face. Oh my gosh, now way!

"Fine. But if we win, you'll have to kiss me in front of everyone, on the lips and admit that she is a loser" she said while pointing at me.

"Yeah but if we win, you'll take back what you said about chloe bing a loser" Charles countered.

"Okay then, its a deal. See you then, loser" Britney said, mostly to me.

"What did you just do?!" I practically shouted. All of the people just witnessed the whole thing and now, we're the Center Of attention! There are all sorts of cheering going on.

"What? She insulted you. I had to do something" he said casually. I only shook my head at him, my eyes filled with panic.

"Wait, you can run right?" He asked me cautiously. I nodded, unable to speak.

There's only one problem though. I have asthma.

What am I gonna do?
