Nature
Nature, it can be defined as the trees and the grass of the outdoors. Or that nature of a person.
Chris announced that the next challenge would be in "The Great outdoors". More like "The Sucky Outdoors" I thought to myself. I didn't have anything against nature, quite the opposite really, I was actually in charge of the others students when the school went camping and I was a counsellor in training. But there was something unpredictable about this particular camping trip.
Duncan.
It was like his nature or something to just annoy me.
I mean, so far everything was right on schedule, we made base but we couldn't find food (stupid DJ not letting us cook the bunny) but at least we had some safe berries nearby. After the camp fire I had predicted we would do a little team bonding but oh no, Duncan has to go and tell a stupid story (I was soooo not scared by it, by the way).
I told the others not to get freaked out and go to bed, but then Bridgette ruins it all by catching our tent on fire, and when I get a little upset Duncan tells me to relax, and then if rains! I could have predicted it all but I was distracted by Duncan!
Oh, and then he has the nerve to say that I was cuddling up next to him! How dare he! Oh I am so mad right now! I just had to get away from him, so I walked off into the woods, kicking the plants that I could. I heard Bridgette run after me, I don't know how, but we are not exactly the nicest to each other but we are still the only sane people on this team. "Courtney, what happened?" she asked.
"Ah! That jerk Duncan is totally saying that I was trying to cuddle him in my sleep." I told her, stomping away.
"DJ said that's what it looked like." I heard Bridgette mumble, I was about to tell her DJ didn't know anything when she came over to me and slung her arm around my shoulder "Look, boys are idiots by nature, and since they are in nature at the moment they are bigger fools. Who cares what Duncan thinks!"
I paused, she was right, girls are far more mature than boys and Duncan is like the missing evolutionary step "I agree Bridgette. Duncan is just being an idiot...thanks."
"No problem, that's what team mates are for. Now let's go get packed up" she told me, she wrapped her arm around mine and pulled us both towards camp again. Hm, maybe she right, but what I know for sure is that Bridgette is an actual friend and boys are stupid and unpredictable like nature.
Therefore, nature sucks.
