Something Different

Chapter 6|The Camping

"Attention to all First Year students. A camping programme will be held on this weekend. Students are required to take part, especially the first year, since the programme is held for ice breaking session and students-teachers bonding. Please register your name at the Main Hall to get  the camping schedule,"

Soarin sighed. Laziness caught him all over. Camping programme, just great. The school is in the middle of the forest though, so that programme will be held in the forest. It's not good, not bad either. But knowing he only went camping at the school hall, or the backyard, this will be a new experience for him.

"Why? Just why?"

Spitfire chuckled." Well, I can't say anything about that. You really hate camping,"

"Who wouldn't? Mosquitoes, darkness, uncomfortable sleep spot, mosquitoes, itchy, mosquitoes, no air conditioner nor fans, mosquitoes!"

Soarin and mosquitoes have no mercy

"Give yourself a chance dude. Feel the night breeze, sleeping under the stars, making s'mores. Not mention about my favourite activity, the night walk!"

Soarin glanced on her. Sure she loves night walk, she don't afraid of darkness, or ghosts, or what kind of ghost hiding in the darkness.

They just registered their name that afternoon, holy shit how did he agree actually? Soarin continued to finish his homework. They are still in prep time, with only less than an hour until sleep.

"So, about yesterday," she began.

"How do you know Dash actually? I mean yeah you stumbled upon her but don't you feel anything?"

"What kind of feeling?" He asked, puzzled.

"You know, that feeling,"

"I don't get it. And speaking of Dash, where is she?"

"In her room. She likes to do her homeworks all alone though. Why do you ask?" The fiery girl smirked.

"Nothing. She is your friend, meaning she is my friend too," the guy retorted, still doing his homework.

Such a good boy.
Nah not really.

"Such a cold heart," Spitfire mumbled, but still can be heard by the pie boy.

"Me? Look at the mirror first sis," he chuckled." Tell me when the last time you fall for a guy?" He continued, raising an eyebrow.

"Pfft I never, ever fall for a boy," she chuckled.

"We'll wait and see, dear sister,"

"I want my bed.." Thunderlane groaned." Who the fuck told us to sleep in the middle of the wood? Just kill me instead,"

"Calm down bro. You aren't the only one," Soarin sighed. Who knows, it's weekend already. The teachers made them assembled at the field, in the hot day.

"When do they will give us the tents actually?" Soarin grumbled. He's sweating like crazy.

After few grunting, swearing, groaning sound, from the students, the teachers finally give them the tents.

"How do they build this?" Soarin complained. Yeah, he doesn't know how to set it up. Not his fault though. At school he just sleep in the class, while his father set the tent up for him when they're camping at the backyard.

He sometimes glanced on Thunderlane, who don't seem to care about the tent. In fact, he's lookin' busy flirting with girls. Such a nice helper.

After a few minutes, he finally done it. Well, almost. Maybe if he put the metal correctly, the tent would look less like than a pile of garbage.

"Need some help?" A familiar voice offered behind him. The guy immediately turned around, just to see a pair of magenta eyes looking at him." No thanks," he responded. Rainbow Dash chuckled, the are-you-sure look plastered on her face.

"Well, if you're lookin' for a hand, you know where to find," Dash smiled, pointing at the nice built-up tent around 50 meters from him.

Soarin mouthed thanks, as Dash walked away.

"You sure you considered her as just a friend?" Spitfire smirked. Her sudden presence makes the pale blue guy startled a bit.

"Where did you come from?" He asked, half annoyed.

The fiery girl rolled her eyes in amusement. She them eyed Soarin's tent." Why don't you let her help?" She asked.

"Isn't it a bit humiliating when a girl set up a boy's tent?" Soarin replied. It's indeed a shame actually.

"Well yeah but isn't it a bit egoistic to not accept a help?"

Soarin snickered. Ego? The rainbow girl is defined by that word. Not him though, he's more to annoyingly sexy boy.

"Nobody thinks you sexy dude," Spitfire rolled her eyes.

"I thought I told you to not read my mind,"

"I can't help. Most of your thought really made my day,"

Soarin cursed under his breath. His sister can read his mind, but he can't read hers. So unfair.

"Where's your tent-mate?"

(Wait, that doesn't seem right)

Soarin motioned his eyes to the right side. The fiery girl followed him, as her eyes landed on the grey guy with a girl with pale grey skin and stunning royal purple hair." That fash? He got a taste,"

The guy rolled his eyes." Well, good luck on your journey to fight for a perfect tent. 'til we meet again, Mr. Skies," Spitfire laughed like a maniac and go away.

"That bitch.." Soarin muttered, and continued his journey, I mean, his job.
