It was an extra early rise this morning; 6am. We had an extra 5k to walk today so jan instructed an early start. It's day 3; my hair is greasy, I stink of a mixture of mud and sweat and my bones are aching. Thank god there isn't any mirrors in this place because if I were to look I to one now it would probably smash.
The first part of the walk was so boring. It was just a straight flat path with trees everywhere. It was the same setting for a good hour or so. There were a lot of wild life passing by; mostly deers and birds
"Who wants to play a game of I spy?" Tim asked
Everybody groaned.
"Aw come on!" Tim encouraged, "it's not as if there's anything else to do"
"Fine" we all agreed
"I'll start" Tim smiled, "I spy with my little eye something beginning with T"
"Trees" we all shouted out
"How'd you guess so fast?" Tim frowned
"It was just an instinct" Connor said
"Well I'll need to do another one then because that was a draw" tim started, "I spy with my little eye something beginning with G"
"Grass" we all shouted again
"Oh for god sake" tim shouted
"Well it's not exactly as if there's much surrounding us. Trees and grass are pretty much the gist of it" I said
"Fine then" tim huffed, "we'll just not do anything"
"Well what actually is there to do?" Lucy shouted, "we're in the middle of nowhere!"
"Sometimes you've just got to create your own entertainment" emma said
"How are we supposed to do that? We don't have any money!"
"You don't need money to be happy" Connor replied
Lucy laughed, "yeah, okay Connor"
We walked in silence for the next hour or so; just the sound of twigs snapping, leaves crunching and Tim humming the theme to Star Wars. For an hour straight.
"So, who's all your favourite bands or singers. Mine is the Star Wars orchestra, obviously" Tim said
"I like One Direction" Lucy said
"Oh yeah me too!" Tim screeched in a girl voice, "my favourite's Harry because of his curly locks"
"I like disney music" Emma said
"What, like Selena Gomez and stuff?" Tim asked
"No" Emma shouted as if she was offended, "I mean like 'when you wish upon a star' and 'can you feel the love tonight'"
"Sorry there Emma. I was just asking" tim apologised
"I like Green Day" I stated
"Me too" Connor smiled, "what's your favourite song?"
"Well" I laughed, "my favourite song is 'boulevard of broken dreams' but every time I say that somebody accuses me of being a 'fake fan' so I just say my favourite song is 'Do you know the enemy'"
"Yeah I know" Connor laughed,"just because your favourite song is the most popular one doesn't mean that you're a fake fan"
"Oh, Green Day" Lucy shouted, "they covered that 5 seconds of summer song 'American an idiot' didn't they?"
