So this was a dream I once had a few years ago. Decided to turn it into a short story. I'm totally NOT confident in my English but I'd like to try nevertheless. This is the first story I've ever published so reviews are welcome.

And onwards to the story!

So there we were. It was late in the afternoon and the sun was already setting. Only a few fireflies and it would've been a perfect scene. Sitting around the leftovers of a campfire. Nobody bothered to light it up again. Enjoying the last day of our school field trip. Not. The mood was sour, depressed. Not just me, everyone was. But it was my fault. Jim and Odd were walking around, desperately trying to lighten the mood among the students. They failed. The mood has been like this ever since... Well let's just start with how it began.

It started a few hours ago. I was chatting with William, just chatting and nothing more or less. Despite the sun, it was rather chilly outside. So we were sitting a little closer to each other than we normally would. Without ANY intention. Then Ulrich came walking towards me. Upon noticing William, or rather how close William was, he froze in his tracks. His expression went from shocked to angry really fast and the tension rose. There'd always been a tension between those two but today was different. Ulrich was acting strange the past few days, the whole trip, so I knew something was on. But still I got annoyed by him acting like a spoiled little brat -my thoughts at that moment, I regret them now- and I lashed out at him. I told him to leave me alone. That I would've come to him if I wanted to hang out with him instead of William but how I didn't. I was done with how he always treated William. So this time, it was me who was angry.

I never saw him looking so hurt before. He stared at me for a few seconds, making me realize what I just said. Then he turned around an ran away, into the woods that surrounded the campsite, leaving me on thr edge of tears. William tried to comfort me immediately but I refused him. I was done with him for now. The only boy that really mattered to me just ran away because of what I did. All the strenght left my knees and I crumbled to the ground.

A few hours passed and I'm still here. Aelita and Odd were trying their best to comfort me but they were feeling pretty down themselves. Everyone was feeling down -even the kids that didn't know what happened or the kids thst didn't know Ulrich at all. Jim was the only adult around. All the others were searching for Ulrich, in the dark and gloomy forest. In only a few hours we'd leave and head back to Kadic Academy. But no way I'd leave without Ulrich, just no way. Everyone started to pack their stuff and breaking up the camp; an order from Jim. But I didn't. I knew what I had to do. I rose to my feet, shrugging off Aelita's hand. "I'll see you later guys," I mumbled as I made my way to the forest. After a quick glance at Jim I started to run, in the same direction as Ulrich did. I disappeared into the trees, without Jim noticing. It's time to fix what I broke.
