'A camping trip?!'

Akko yelled inside her head.

She, along with the rest of the school, were currently in a assembly.

"Yes, we will be conducting a camping trip. Being held in the Arcturus Forest!" The headmistress announced to the school.

Faces turning and looking at each other, many students were confused.

"Well, Sucy, Lotte, this will be fun!" Akko looked at her teammates with sparkle.

"However, you will not be with your traditional team of Witches. Each Camping Team of 3 will be randomly selected!" Headmistress Holbrook quickly followed up on her previous statement, and caused all the students to gasp in shock. She used a spell and a screen appeared out of thin air, two lines separating three sections. A small level appeared on the ground next to Holbrook.

"r-random...

ALL RIGHT!" Akko jumped up and down repeatedly. Ever since the missile crisis, many people rushed to be Akko's friend. Now, she could be paired with two random witches from her school, for one whole week. She could make new friends. Old friends wouldn't be bad at all either. The first pull of the level happened, three faces were matched, just like a slot machine.

About 10-20 minutes later, Akko still hadn't been chosen. Only a handful remained.

Holbrook pulled the lever one more time.

The first face shown on the screen was Akko, and she froze. The next few seconds felt like centuries for her.

"Atsuko...kagari" Professor Finneran said, with a monotone, lackluster voice.

The second faced appeared, and Akko let out a sigh of relief.

"Amanda O'Neil…" Finneran's voice got a bit normal, as she isn't talking about her least favorite student.

"WOOHO! Luckily I didn't get a person like-" Amanda cheered, before seeing the third and final face.

"O Fu-"

"WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE O'NEIL!" Finneran yelled

She then proceeded to jump up, "Diana Cavendish!" Finneran yelled.

Akko's face smiled strongly. She was extremely happy she'll be put with Cavendish, her latest best friend. Akko knew it was mostly because she had feelings for her, but she tried to ignore it. Akko was also happy to see that Amanda was on her team, she, along with Diana, were helping her with her flight. Which was extremely kind, but would always end with Diana and Amanda arguing. Hopefully it won't be the same for the trip.

Akko ran to the two of them and gave a nice group hug. "I'M SO HAPPY! I get to spend a whole week with you!"

"The feelings aren't mutual. I would love to spend time with you. Diana on the other hand, I have many words to say, but I don't want Finneran to yell at me again." Amanda smirked, but not in a happy way. "Oh, I apologize, I'm sorry that I may have been rude in the past, but we're all friends now, your team, Akko's team, and my team. So, could we move past this? As long as Akko's happy, I'm happy. And you should be happy too." Diana smiled. As Sucy would say, she's became too soft. Diana tries to be nicer, and it's mostly because Akko showed her how, Akko showed her how to smile, and, without even knowing it, Akko had shown Diana how to love.

"Bullshit, you and I both know we don't even want to look at each other." Amanda barked back, disregarding Diana's attempt of being nice.

"guys" Akko mumbled

A small crowd formed around the three girls.

"I'm trying to be nice, ok! I may not entirely like you, but I'm making an effort. Can't we just be friends, at least for Akko?!" Diana fought back

"Oh Akko this, Oh Akko that. Could you be quiet about Akko for once. We get it, Akko has changed you, she's known for that. Now stop being fake and stop being so soft, you hate me and you know that." Amanda was getting on fire.

The crowd grew larger

"Guyss…" Akko was slightly tearing up, seeing two of her friends fight.

"Maybe I do hate you, but I want to be nice, I want to be friends, can't you understand that? You... you useless American trash!"

The crowd was at it's limit, professors were racing towards the front to prevent the fight was starting.

"I guess Diana isn't so soft after all." Sucy chuckled from inside the crowd

Diana's accent slipped through, and it was strong.

"Oh I've had it with cunts like you" Amanda drew her wand. "Mu-"

"GUYS STOP!" Akko yelled at the top of her lungs, she was in tears, she didn't care about anyone watching. Both Amanda and Diana froze in place.

"Akko…" Diana and Amanda spoke in unison, both staring at the crying brunette.

"NO! How do you think you'll survive a week together if you're just going to yell and scream at each other?! You two do this all the time! I'm tired of it!" Tears came out like a waterfall, Akko just wanted a fun nice time.

"KAGARI! CAVENDISH! O'NEIL! HOLBROOK'S OFFICE NOW!"

"Atsuko, may you kindly explain what happened, seeing as you were the only one not arguing, and for once, won't receive a punishment." Professor Finneran asked, the other professors by her side, including Ursula.

Akko sniffled and spoke up. "Well, I gave them a hug, because I was happy to be paired with two close friends. Amanda couldn't be quiet for one second and just had to say something bad. Diana stayed calm and tried to be mature, but Amanda, like always, can't accept an apology. They went back and forth and Diana lost her patience. They drew their wands, and I stopped them before anything got serious."

"I understand. O'Neil, do you have any reasoning on attacking Diana, that isn't your personal feelings over her?" Finneran questioned.

"Well, no… but-"

"But nothing!" Finneran barked. "Diana had every right to argue back, and she didn't even try to at first! She should not be punished."

"Now now Finneran. Diana still should be punished, she was going to fight as well, they deserve an equal punishment." Professor Ursula spoke against Finneran, with good reason.

"I agree, I should not have snapped, and I accept any punishment given as long as it's reasonable." Diana spoke in favor of Ursula's proposal.

It was Holbrook's turn to speak. "Your punishment will be held after the week long camping trip. So, you three will still be together. I trust Akko in controlling you two."

Akko had her signature spark in her eyes "Yes Headmistress!"

"Now, head back to your rooms and start gathering clothing and items, tomorrow will commence the camping trip."

Akko was walking to her room, she wasn't happy with either of the two. She doesn't plan to see them again until tomorrow morning. Until Diana called her name

"Akko!"

Diana was running behind her.

"Diana, I'm disappointed in you, I don't want to hear your excuses. By tomorrow morning, I'll forgive you two, but for now, leave me be."

"Akko, look, I'm not going to persuade you to forgive me. So, tomorrow, at night, I need to tell you something, so I won't make you feel bad. That is all."

Diana walked away, and Akko continued on.

'What would she tell me that's so important?'

Amanda was heading back to her room, her face was red and she was pissed.

'Of course Diana would be paired with me. I have terrible luck. She's going to ruin me for the next week. UGh and I'm going to deal with Akko's and her's lovey dovey shit for the rest of the week, and they can't even admit it! It's like they're teasing me. Like I get it Diana! You like Akko and she likes you, now actually start dating before I lose my mind. Akko chose you, not me. I get it, you're a Cavendish, you get everything you want, you royal princess bullshit.

Why does Akko like you…

Why not me…

Why

not

me

…'

Tears ran down her face and she continued walking, as if she isn't even crying.

(Eeeee! This is going to be 9 chapters long. This first one, the camping trip(7 Chapters in total), then the aftermath.

Leave any feedback, hoping this is way better then the first. I learnt not to include unnecessary plot lines. Thanks for the feedback on the first. Leave more here. I'll be back soon with another chapter(Most likely a night or 2 from now))

Peace!
