"New Tech's Forest been with us for over a hundred years and seem to grow as New Tech City seem to get bigger. Soon your children will be standing here like you are today and admire the forest like yourselves. And another hundred years will be added to the Forest's age."
After a long walk in the forest this is what we were putting up with. A tour guide and his lovely story about the forest. We came to a stopped in front of two path. Both marked with arrows pointing to a direction.
"Um, tour guide Boom. How is this helping us with our scavenger hunt. I mean we been walking about an hour and a half and we haven't started looking for anything," said a student from another group.
"Oh yeah about that. Well I'm suppose to tell you that there are two different path for both teams to go to. One group take this path." Pointing at the left. "And another take this one." Pointing at the right. " I'm also suppose to give you your things for this hunt, so everyone line up in one straight line."
Everyone stood in a line and waited to be given something. As you know, my group still is split up in two group. Sky and Sydney in one and me, Jack, and Bridge in another. In order for us to stand in a line, Bridge and I had to make sure Jack and Sky wasn't by each other. So in the line stood Jack, me, Bridge, Syd., and Sky and in that order we received our things. The map, the bag, the compass, the walkie talkie, and the list of items. The two group split up and took different paths. My group took the right path with the brown arrows. We followed the arrows and followed Jack with the map into the deep forest of New Tech. After a while of walking we stopped to take a rest.
"Alright everyone take five and then it's back to walking," ordered Jack.
"Who died and made you the boss," retorted Sky.
"Since I'm the one holding the map," smiled Jack.
"Whatever."
"Talk about the road less travel, this path is doing major damage to my shoes. I bet the other team is walking on smooth, solid ground," Syd broke in.
"They don't look that bad," said Bridge.
"Not that bad, just look at them," taking off one of her shoes. "I have mud all over them and they're practically ruining the color on them."
"You can always get new ones," I said.
"Yeah I know but these are my favorite pair," she whined. She put back on her shoe and started to pout.
"I can't believe you're upset over shoes, it's not that serious," smiled Jack.
"Yeah well, you shouldn't be the one talking Mr. Black jacket. At least I have some sense of fashion… unlike yourself."
"Is that suppose to be an insult."
"You know you….you, Ah. I hate you."
Jack started laughing at Sydney and how she was getting angry. Sky, Bridge, and I just looked on as Jack and Syd went on.
"Can you give me the map please so I can look to see where's the restrooms are," she said stretching out her hand.
"Here," Jack said still laughing.
She snatch the map out of his and started to look at it.
"I don't see anything on here that shows where the restrooms are."
"Let me see," I said walking toward Sydney.
"There isn't…any. Except for the…one back at the store."
"Then how are we suppose to go to the restroom," Sydney scream.
"I hate to tell you this Syd. But we are going to have to use it in the forest," said Sky breaking his silent.
"What."
Everyone started laughing. Sydney pouted her way in the forest and the laugher died down.
"What's on the list that we have to find," I asked Sky. He pulled out the list and read from it.
"A bone, a can of green peas, a butterfly, a lily pad, a pine cone, a paper with a baby on it, and a star. Talk about a stupid list."
"Yeah right, what was Mr. Cruger thinking," I agreed.
"Give me a break," yelled Jack.
"What is your problem," asked Sky.
"You are."
"You know I keep hearing that from you and it's really getting old."
"Come on you guys we don't need this right now," scream Bridge. "Can't we just all get along."
Jack and Sky brought their attention back to each other as they stare each other down.
"Whatever," Jack said walking to a nearby tree to lean on. Sky rolled his eyes and also walked to a tree and leaned on it.
"Oh my gosh, I can't believe I just used the restroom in the forest. I feel dirty," Syd said, shivering.
"Alright breaks over. Let keep moving," Jack said getting off the tree and walking ahead.
We followed after.
