Damn that field trip. It should have been a blast. But Cassidy wasn't there as he should have. And honestly... she didn't want to have him around, he'd dumped her almost a month ago. She didn't know exactly why, but she didn't miss him that bad. It hurt more because she felt like a idiot. Next time she'll go out with a guy she'll find a more mature one. A older one. A bad ass. Like Weevil ! She smirked. No way. It wasn't that Weevil wasn't attractive, but why a guy like him would even notice her.

Her foot got caught in a root and she groaned. Woods. Damn, I wouldn't have liked to live in the prehistoric era. She was high tech, dsl and computers. She was stripes of colors in her hair, she was jeans. She was Mac. And she was... wondering where she was.

She looked around. "That's official. I got lost." She sighed. And sat on the floor. She searched her bad for her cell phone and... crap. Where is a network when you need one ? She drank a little of water and massaged her temples. So... where were they arrived ? What did she saw when she'd gotten out of the bus. A cliff. So... go mac, prove you're not only a computer geek. You're like sporty girl too. She stared to climb a tree. "Just... not.. the.. cheerleader kind."

She sat on a branch, examining the horizon. This way. She began to climb down and heard a crack. Someone swore.

Oh, please. She dropped her bad and jumped down the tree just in front of Dick, a whiskey flask in the hand. His eyes widened. "What the hell ... ?" He focused. "Where's Tarzan, Ghost World ?" she smirked at him and started to walk away. Then stopped. He was probably lost too. She couldn't let him die in the woods. Can't I ?

"Are you lost, Dick ?" he looked at her. "No I'm just looking for a bear to fuck. Of course I am !" She gave up, and turned away. When they'll find his bleached bones, she'll say he didn't want her help.

"Wait !" he caught up with her. "Are you too or not ?" She nodded. "Shit." he let out. "But I know where I'm heading." he followed her, raising a eyebrow. "there's a cliff over there. The same one we saw when we got out of the bus. I think we'll find the road if we head that way." he snorted, putting the flask back in his pocket. "You 'think'..." She stopped angrily. "You know you're free to go away !" He remained silent. She started back walking. He followed.

When they finally found the road, they realized it was almost night. When they indeed arrived to the place the bus had been parked, it was gone.

Mac groaned. "Go ahead ! Mock me !!!" he yelled at Dick. "I wasn't going to... I.. got lost too you know." he shook his head, and she find her cool again. "Sorry."

He shook his head. "That's shitty." he said. "Maybe they'll come back searching for us." she said, sitting on a dead tree. "I don't think so. At least for a week." She raised her brows. "They thing we're in the kids camp." She slammed her forehead. "Right !"

There was a kid camp down on the valley. The hight school trip was also a way to get them in the woods. And a few students were supposed to stay there to watch. He was alone at home and her parents were out for two weeks. How would know they didn't volunteered in the last minute ?

"I guess it means it us on our own." she noted. "Lucky you have a brain." he said. She frowned, surprised. He picked the flask. "i'm out of order right now." she smiled and grabbed it from him. He yelped as he thought she was going to dodge it, but she drank a damn big gulp of alcohol.

"Me too. I had a crappy day. It was supposed to be great. So... let end it properly." he chocked. "Damn, girl, you got it bad !" he sat beside her. She turned the flask upside down. "Too bad it's empty." she snorted. He smiled. "Not hardly." he opened his bag and got a full bottle of whiskey. "The flask is just easier to carry in my pocket."

She smiled and took the bottle. And failed in opening it. When she was about to use her teeth he took it from her and opened it with a grin. "Thanks." She drank a bit, and grimaced. "You don't do that often, right ?" he asked. "Well, no." she said.

He stood up. "I'll watch your back." he said, holding out his hand. "Come on." he invited and lifted her back on her feet.

They climbed the sloping cliff and sat as high as they could get. They watched the sun disappear. "We should start a fire before it gets too dark." She said. The sun had gone down the line of the see, the countdown to night had started. Thirty minutes.
