Chapter 3/The trip

I forgot to pack my bag, so i was rushing on the very last day.I brought tons of CDs, and some books, and dropped in a couple of nice snacks.Well that was the extra, that I didn't tell my mom about.

Magarett kept telling me, I'll be alright, and there's nothing to worry about.I hoped she was right.

**************

On the bus, I sat with Darla.She didn't pay any attention to me, and i was glad.Well she was busy talking with the other girls or flurting with Matt.I stared in disgust, as she twidled her fingers through his shirt trying to get under.I just hope no one saw my expression. I noticed Malikai sitting beside the window, as usual, staring at the empty highway.Personally, I liked to do that as well.You could find amazing things there.As well as people showing signs to others.

I gazed at the magestic beauty of the forest.Through the open window I heard beautiful songs of the birds.Some were sad, others content.as I noticed Darla look at me, I quickly reached into my bag, and took out my CD player.I put it on, knowing no one would bother talking to someone who will keep asking "pardon" or just the plain "what?".Darla turned away, and continued talking.

The other bus got near to ours, and I saw Margarett wave at me, and show me a sign that meant "don't be so nervous".I signed back that i'll be fine, and she smiled.Their bus raced ours, and that was all the time that i talked, or rather signed to Margarett.

I taped my finger against my knee while listening to music, when I heard the bus wheels screech, meaning that we've come to a stop. I looked out the window.Miles of spring green forests stretched out as far as I could see.The cabins were small wooden huts, painted in a thich coat of red.The roofs were black, and each cabin had two windows.There were about 16 cabins, excluding the large roomy buildings that were the teachers cabins, and the dining rooms or washrooms. I walked off the bus.Fresh air filled my lungs. I always wanted to see real forests.After all in the old days of Russia what was there besides dead troops?I got caught up in my thoughts and only realized that when someone shook my shoulder.It was Michelle.

"We have to go to our cabin."She shook her head and sneered.

I followed them.Our cabin had a big number eight painted on it. Darla cicked on the lightswitch, and the small room was filled with dim light. There was one bunk bed and five single beds.The girls got the single beds, and I was left with a bunk bed all to myself.I piled my bag on the bottom and climbed up to the top.It was really nice up there. A cotton matrass with a faded green color lay on the bed. I put my bedsheets, my pillow and my warm blanket on, and climbed back down.I started walking towards the door.

"Where are "you" going?"Mand stressed the you to make it sound as nasty as possible.

"To explore.I have the right to go wherever I want."I shot back, not turning aroung.

They shrug their shoulders and went back to talking.

I explored around the woods, looking for......I didn't know, I just felt as if I was.I found nothing, but at least I got to see real nature.

That night the girls went to cabin #9.Th guys cabin.I was left alone, for two minutes.Malikai walked in the room, and without saying a word fell on a bed.

"How come.....you're not hanging out with them?"I asked.

"I really don't want to see people make out or something like that."

I understood exactly what he meant.

"You really made a big mistake going with them."He said.

"I did?"

"Yeah, you should've gone with your friends, these people are going to give you a nightmare as a life."

"Thats true..."

"You're friends with Margarett, right?"

"Yeah...why'd you ask?"

"Oh nothing...actually...."

"Yeah what is it?"

"Can you promise not to tell anyone?''He asked.

"Sure."I made a cross under my collar bone.(represents a promise)

"Well does she ever speak about me?"

I looked at him.

"No! Don't get me wrong! I didn't mean it that way!....."He continued on talking.

"Yes, she does."

He stopped and looked at me carefully.

"Really?"He asked.

"Yeah."

"What does she say about me?"

"Oh not much, just what a nice guy you are or something like that.You like her, don't you?"

"Well....sorta...yeah."He blushed.

"Don't worry i won't tell.After all she likes you too."

He didn't respond.

"you can ask her to hang out with you tommorow, go exploring or something."I suggested.

"Yeah, I'll do that."

"Good luck."

We were silent for a couple more minutes.

"How come you don't like anyone?"

"Me?Dunno, just probably waiting for the right guy."I answered qickly.

"Oh I see.There's this new guy coming to our school after the trip.A friend of mine."

"And why should I care?"

"He's about the same attitude as you.His name is Ray."

My head shot up at the sound of the three letters.Could he really be?

"Do you know his last name by any chance?"I asked trying to put on a completely careless look on my face.

"I'd have to be an idiot not to remember it.Ray Kon."

My eyes widened in surprise.It had to be him.
