Two hearts, one love
Chapter 26: Ski trip
Crystal/Akina's POV
"Students, I am pleased to inform you that a ski camp has been planned for all of year 12. It is expected that you will all attend. Please pass around the forms and get your parents to sign them as soon as possible" Ms. Carmel explained while handing out sheets of paper.
I glanced down and to see that it read:
To parents and guardians,
A ski camp to Yuzawa has been planned by the school board. The students will attend ski lessons if they do not know how to ski or if they are more experienced they may develop their skills. Other activities such as snowboarding and ice-skating will also be run. It will commence on the 7th of September and will conclude on the 14th of September. The school is expecting that all will attend. Students are to assemble at the school gates at 6am on the day and from there they will travel by bus to arrive at ? by 10am. Students will arrive back at school at 6pm on the 14th. Included with this notice is a list of items the students must bring. The expenses will cover accommodation, equipment hire, lift passes and meals.
Thank-you
The school board
A ski camp huh? This should be interesting I thought as I skimmed through the list of items to bring which included warm clothes, gloves, shoes, toiletries, camera, etc. Sleeping bags were not required since we would be provided with Manchester.
"This is going to be so cool!" Mariah exclaimed.
"Yeah, only two weeks away. I'm surprised that they arranged it so soon" Tala commented.
"Okay students, cabins can hold 5 people each. Please assemble your groups and then list the names on the sheets here" Ms. Carmel said and held up some papers. "And before you ask, yes you may have boys and girls in the cabins, although it isn't highly recommended. But since the cabin is divided into rooms, it is possible if you really want to"
"So, is it safe for me to assume that the five of us," Rei glanced at Tala, Mariah, Kai and me, "Are going to share a cabin?"
"It's fine with me" I replied shrugging and everybody else nodded their agreement.
"I'll go get us a cabin then" Mariah suggested cheerfully and Rei got up to go with her.
"Think they plan on sharing a room?" Tala asked with a smirk.
Two weeks later
Kai's POV
It was too early to be up I thought as I fought to keep my eyes open.
"It's way too early to be up" Crystal said echoing my thoughts as she stifled a yawn.
"Think I'll sleep on the bus" Tala mumbled.
When the teachers had finished calling the roll and all the luggage had been stored away, we climbed up onto the bus.
Rei and Mariah immediately sat together in the middle of the bus, leaving Tala, Crystal and I figuring out where to sit. I couldn't care less where I sat so I just dumped myself on the seat behind Rei and Mariah. Tala then sat down in the seat behind me leaving only Crystal to decide where to sit. She stood there for a moment before seating herself down next to Tala.
After about 30mins on the bus, Crystal changed seats and slid into the one next to me.
"What are you doing here?" I grumbled.
"Tala fell asleep" she said. "I got bored"
"Hey Crystal" Mariah said twisting around in her seat to face us.
"Hey" she replied.
"So, have you skied before?" Rei asked us.
"Yeah, I used to go in winter" Crystal responded.
"You're so lucky. So does that mean you're really good?" Mariah questioned.
"Not really" Crystal answered.
"What about you Kai?" Rei asked me.
"I've been a few times before" I muttered.
After an hour of idle conversation, Rei and Mariah decided to sleep and cuddled up together leaving Crystal and I the only ones in our group awake.
"What are you listening to?" Crystal asked when I pulled out my MD.
"R'n'B" I said.
"Can I listen too?" she said hopefully.
I rolled my eyes and handed her a headphone.
After staring out the window for a while and watching fields go past as I listened to music, I noticed that there was a slight weight on my shoulder. I turned around to find Crystal's head resting lightly on my shoulder, her eyes closed.
Great, of all people to fall asleep on, she just had to fall asleep on my shoulder. When I looked at her, wondering whether I should move or not, her eyes opened and she looked straight at me.
"Hey Kai-kun" she said smiling.
"Would you mind moving your head?" I asked her.
"Actually yes I would" she replied back cheekily and I scowled.
"I am not a pillow" I stated.
"But your shirt is soft" she said her voice becoming muffled as she buried her face in it. "What kind of softener do you use?"
"How the hell am I suppose to know?" I snapped.
"You have anger management problems you know" she commented as she lifted her head up slightly to look at me directly.
"I do not. It's just because you're around" I answered.
"That's not a very nice thing to say Kai-kun" Crystal pouted.
"I don't care" I muttered before returning to stare out of the window.
Crystal/Akina's POV
The bus wound its way up the steep mountain until it finally reached the peak. The sight which greeted us was breath-taking. Everything around us was covered in snow and smoke curled its way up lazily into the sky from the lodge's chimney.
"Students, please collect your luggage from the bus and your room number and keys from me before making your way to the lodge." Ms. Carmel called out over the sea of chattering voices.
"I'll get the keys" Kai said after we had all collected out bags.
When he returned we all lugged out bags up to the lodge and stopped at the cabin marked with the number 19 on the front. Dropping his bags onto the floor, Kai dug the keys out of his pocket and opened the doors up. The cabin was tastefully furnished with oak furniture and oriental rugs covered the wooden floorboards. In the centre of the room there was a t.v, coffee table and several lounge chairs and couches. Doors stood on the left and the right of the t.v. To the left of the living room there was a kitchen and there was also a door next to it. To our right stood another door as well as a closet.
"Pretty nice" Tala commented and he opened the door to our rights. "I call this bedroom"
"Whatever" Kai mumbled as Rei, Mariah and I moved towards the kitchen. The door next to that produced another bedroom. The door on the right of the t.v led to a tiled bathroom and the last door to the left of the t.v revealed another bedroom.
"So, there are two bedrooms which fit two people and the one Tala called fits one." Rei said. "So the sensible thing to do would have Crystal and Mariah share one while Kai and I share the other."
"Why Rei, I thought that you and Mariah were going to share a room" Tala spoke up and Mariah and Rei's faces turned red.
"Don't be ridiculous Tala" Mariah spluttered.
"I'm not being ridiculous." Tala stated smoothly. "What's wrong with sharing a bedroom with a girl Rei? There are two single beds in there after all"
"But-" Rei began.
"So it's decided then?" Tala interrupted him. "Rei and Mariah can share the bedroom next to the kitchen leaving Kai and Crystal the one next to the bathroom"
"Tala, just let Mariah and Crystal share" Kai said.
"Nah, I think it'll be more amusing to make Rei and Mariah share a room" Tala replied.
"You're very bossy you know that Tala?" I said to him before entering the bedroom next to the bathroom and leaving the rest of them to argue.
I began unpacking my stuff and after several minutes, Kai entered the room with a stormy face.
"Which bed do you want?" I asked him gesturing towards the bed. There was a single bed and a double.
"I'll take the double" he said before heaving is bag on top of it.
That's it for now. Yeah I know it's kinda boring but hopefully it'll become more interesting soon. Please remember to review. Sorry for the short chapter..just to warn you now...the next few chapters aren't really long. But I promise you that chapter 29 is like really long okay? Really sorry once again... Also, some people want something to happen with Crystal and Kai, sorry but nothing really happens until, let's see......ermmz chapter 35? I'm really really sorry, but I've put other stuff in between but I'm not sure whether you'd like it. I think I warned you a few chapters back that it's gonna be a long and slow fic...
