Chapter 7
School Annual Camping (Part 2)!
Previously...
As Athrun was walking on an elevated log, he stumbled a little. Trying not to look down he continued walking but he found some difficulties as he walked on. Just when he was about to step onto the platform...
"Shit!" Athrun cursed under his breath as he felt his feet almost touching the platform but now he could feel himself falling down from great heights. Even the bravest person would freak in this situation.
Athrun hastily look around for his partner. His eyes fixed on a patch of blonde hair holding the rope loosely in her hand.
What is she doing? She's supposed to pull the rope by now so that I won't hit the ground! Athrun panicked as he looked at her face which twisted into a devilish grin.
5...4...3...2...1! Cagalli gave the rope a small tug causing Athrun to swing a little bit. Then she slowly let him down to the ground.
"What are you trying to do?" Athrun pointed his finger at her and advanced towards her.
"This will teach you a lesson not to mess with me!" She replied as she looked up with a defiant face.
"So what! We're not in school anymore. This is a bonding camp for next year, not a camp so that we can fight! And what you did is very dangerous!"
"Who told you to start a fight in school with me in the first place!"
"Don't be childish, that is school fights, this is safety, what if you estimated wrongly?"
"Then you'll die. It's no big deal, then I'll have one less person to fight against." She said as she shrugged and started to walk off.
"YOU!"
"Me, what?" she turned around and gave him a challenging look.
"Fine! If you wanna be childish, I shall be childish too!" He stated and walked off in a huff.
As Cagalli was walking on the elevated log, Athrun was on the ground smirking happily to himself. Even though she noticed it, she didn't give a second thought.
And the same thing happened all over again, but this time, it was Athrun's turn to take his revenge on poor Cagalli.
Just as Cagalli was about to step onto the platform, she felt something constantly hitting her legs and when she looked down...
"WTF are you trying to do?" Cagalli shouted as another piece of pebble is being thrown at her.
"Nothing. I just wanted to throw some stones cos I'm bored, but I guess I used too much strength." Athrun replied with a smirk clearly shown on his face.
"YOU ARE SUCH A---" but even before she could finish her sentence, she felt her feet slipping from the log she was walking on. Just a second later she could feel herself plummeting like what she did to Athrun.
Shit! Shit! Shit! SHIT! What is this? Retribution! ARH!
Like what he did, she looked around to find her partner, who stood out quite well with his midnight blue hair. Even though she didn't want to show this to him, there was fear in her eyes.
After realizing what 'eye' she gave him, she quickly looked away only to find herself facing the ground. Then she realized that he wouldn't dare to let her fall so she looked back at him with a daring look.
But what made her even more scared was the look he gave back. It was like a mixture of (…………) altogether. Now she wasn't sure anymore that she is safe but she being the 'tough' girl she's known for, continued to glare at him.
She was nearing the floor but Athrun still isn't pulling the rope yet. Now, she is really scared. She looked at him but didn't show much fear yet.
Then, Athrun's hand tightened onto the rope and was going to pull but--- "SHIT! The rope! Where did it go?"
Upon hearing this, Cagalli's eyes closed unconsciously with her arms across her face preparing for the hard impact.
But it never came...
All she felt was her feet touching the floor gently. Her eyes shot open when she realised that she was tricked and Athrun saw her in her fear.
Athrun strolled happily towards her with the happiest face ever.
"This is how childish I can be" Athrun said in a mocking tone.
"Thi--" But before Cagalli could finish...
"Hey! The two of you! What do you think you're doing" The instructor shouted as he walked towards them.
"Um...um..." Athrun tried to think of a good excuse.
Cagalli snickered before saying, "I dun give a damn. I can do what I want."
"Oh no you can't. I've heard about you from the school committee. But this is not your school so here, you don't have the power you used to have."
"WHAT!" She shouted so loudly that everyone turned in their direction.
"YOU!" He turned to Athrun, "I saw what you did just now, and don't you know that it is very dangerous to do that?"
"BUSTED!" Cagalli said before turning in another direction leaving them.
But before Cagalli could walk any further, she was grabbed by the arm.
"Stop right there. You cannot leave too. You think I didn't see what you did to him? You two follow me."
He walked back to his cabin which is the main office...
45 minutes later...
"So by making the two of you get along, I'm going to give you two a punishment TOGETHER so that the two of can get along."
"WHAT! You can't do this! You can't put me with this...this...this childish spoilt brat!" Athrun was the first to object.
"WHAT! ME? Childish? And who was the one who let me drop onto the floor?"
"Cos you started it first!"
"So? If you say that you're not childish why did you even take revenge on me?"
"Cos you challenged me, so I did it!"
"Then if I ask you to surrender to in front of the whole school will you ever do it?"
"Of course not! You're asking me a really stupid question!"
"See? If you won't do it, then why did you do this?"
"These two things are a totally different thing!"
"WILL THE TWO OF YOU STOP IT? THIS IS THE REASON WHY I WANT TO GIVE YOU THIS PUNISHMENT!" The instructor screamed at the top of his lungs as he couldn't stand the childish bickering any longer.
"What punishment?" Both of them said at the same time.
"You two will have to partner each other for all the activities tonight and tomorrow", he looked at them seriously and continued, "And if you two still can't get along..."
He paused for a few moments before continuing, "I will have to put you two in the same cabin until you two can work together."
"WHAT! NO WAY! We are of different gender, which is against the rules of the camp!" Cagalli yelled out.
"Even the rules can be bend, right? Miss Cagalli?"
"So, you two should go back to your cabins now, I think the rest have finished their activities for today. Tonight you should know what's going to happen, and you two are partners"
He gestured them to leave the room and sat down on his own desk. He gave out a deep sigh and muttered to himself... "I hope this doesn't turn out disastrous."
Later that night everyone gathered at the foot of the hill waiting for instructions to be given. What they had to do is to hike with your partner up the hill, get each a key necklace, before walking down to the other side of the hill.
There they will see a long stretch of beach. They have to walk along the beach till they meet their destination. Each team will depart 15 minutes after the other so as not to cause any jams.
This would seem like a really adventurous trip for Cagalli...except for one tiny bit that would give her a lot of problems.
She's afraid of ghosts...
Seriously I took SOO long to write this chapter...i wanted to make it longer. But I was afraid that you guys would lose interest in my fanfiction cos I took a really long time to just update one chapter... But I really hope that you guys would enjoy it!
hmm...another request from you guys...PLEASE if you like my story drop a review... I'm feeling that the number of reviews are kinda little...
