After Lunch.
Mr Steve announced we would be going on a team building exercise. Probably shared us into different groups.Hell no!
I can't be in that group Mr Steve.
Rachael do you mind going back MacFarlane?
Yeah drop me off.Uh Uh off you go by yourself.
I can't Mr Steve.
Then good. Fall out and join your group besides Mat would be a great team leader.
Yuck.So it was Luke, I, Rachael and Sylvia.
'Got a map and compass for our team' Sylvia said.
'Make sure you follow the instructions and the paths labelled out for you. Good luck guys.' Carsley said.
Carsley and Adams were group partners with sm other jogs.
'Let's get going Rachael.' I said
Fine.
Can I have the map Sylvia? I can't afford to loose. Rachel said.Luke: it's not a competition okay. It's a team building exercise, doesn't matter who wins.
It does to me.
How make me understand?
U won't since you're not me. Bunch of losers could never understand my sense of reasoning.'Gosh the weathers hot today. I said
Take the jacket off then Sylvia said.How about you shut your mouth cause you're making me feel hotter.
What!
Yeah.
Then we all laughed.Guys I think a found a fast route to get there.
No. Mr Steve said follow the rules.
Rules are meant to broken blonde boy.
We could get lost you know Rachael.
Yeah and we could win blonde boy if we follow this route.You coming? She asked. As she and Sylvia walked forward.
Mat?! This is a bad idea.
Sighs. I just hope she knows what she's doing.
Yeah I hope so too.So you guys finally agreed to join us.
Yeah. I guess so.
So which way then left or right Rachael? Sylvia asked.
I don't know I think left.You think?
Yeah I think.'Now were lost thanks to you.' Luke said angrily.
Give the map to me, game over for you.
No!.. Let go.
Give it back Luke.Finally the map was torn into pieces .
You're so annoying.
OMG. What the hell's wrong with you two!. I screamed.
You happy now Huh.'Now we'll not only be lost, we'll be lost forever.'Rachael said
If we had just followed the path. This wouldn't have happened.
Yeah now it's my fault for tearing the map.
Yes.
Okay I'll play the role I've been given.
Go ahead find your way back.You not coming?. Sylvia asked Rachael
Uh Uh. I'll better walk alone.
'What we can't leave you here alone, who knows what's in this forest?.' I said.I can't be first working with losers.
Sighs. Good luck friend. Sylvia said.
Let's keep moving Matilda
Alright Sylvia.We'll see you at the board.
Take care. Luke said.Finally we found a way out
Congrats guys you made your way back.
And one, two, three..... Where's Rachael Mr Steve asked?
She isn't back yet?
Uh Uh.
What?!!!How come she's not with you guys
Can't be with losers. She said.
OMG. Call the tour assistant.She'll be back Mr Steve I assure you.
And if not I don't know.
It's getting late already it's almost six.Five missed calls from Deck.
Mat why don't you send him a text? Cars suggested.
He'll over react. I know Deck.
What about Rachael she isn't back yet? Adams asked.
Now I'm getting scared. I said.We'll have a search party. But it looks like a storm is coming.
Get inside everyone.Mr Steve any new update?
Not yet Mat, you know how Rachael is you can never predict her.
Yeah right.
But we're trying our best.Soon there was a storm then it started raining.
Mat you can't go outside it really raining heavily.
I have to. We both know that the police aren't doing anything.
But it's too dangerous.
And what about Rachael out there guys. Does she deserve to be in danger too Adams?
'But she made her decision already'.
Luke saidMat no!. We'll be putting you in danger too. Cars said.
I'm going to find her, you coming or not? I said putting on a raincoat.
Oh God Mat.!
Mat!
What.?
Fine let's go. Adams said.R.A.C.H.A.E.L!!!!! ..
Can you hear me.Mat can you remember the path you took before you got lost.
Yeah she said left. And this is exactly where we left her.
Rachael....!!!Adams this way.
Be careful Mat. Okay.
Yeah give me a hand.
There you go. He said.Hey put your flash light over there..
That's Rachael's jacket.
Yeah. She won't be any farther than that.Rachael!!!!!
Mat is that you?
OMG Rachael what happened to you?I tumbled and then bruised my ankle. Probably have a broken bone too.
We've been looking for you.
Tnks for coming to get me. I couldn't take the storm.Here get at back. Adams said
Then I smiled.
And he backed her till we got to the board.We found her Cars!!
Thank goodness you're safe.
I've been so worried Cars hugged me pecking my cheeks.
Les.! Luke screamed.Shut up Luke we both said. Jinxing it.
And that was it.
I was about to face reality when I get back home to Deck.
What I'm I going to tell him. I thought and soon I fell asleep.
