7.

Once again I had arrived early at school. It was on another good day, A promising one I guess.

For a reason I woke up feeling happy today. How I just wished I could be happy through out today, but I didn't think so .

On arriving early at school, I walked into the class only to bump into Ryan. I paused, looking up at the tall handsome figure. He too was looking at me. I felt my heart race but still, I kept my cool.

Before I could act cool, say sorry and walk away, he already took the action. He simply walked pass me making me feel belittled.

I held my head up, luckily there were only 5 people in class who cared less including ken who as at the back. I walked to the back and sat on my seat, besides ken who was looking at me obviously trying to study me.

"You look weird" He said as I looked back at him, meeting his gaze.

"Why?" I asked "what's wrong?"

He sighed still studying me "Why do I feel like you feel sad that he's ignoring you"

I was alarmed by his theory and had to fight back. "What? How could that be? Why would I? I don't care about him.... Didn't I tell you that? It's just that...he came right in front of me..." I explained, Hoping it was true.

"Okey...If you say so." He leaned back arranging his stuff "Do you want to know why he was nice to you the other day and Acts different now?"

I knew I wanted an answer to that so I buried my pride and asked away "Why?"

He smiled. He must have felt victorious. "Well ... Ever since Ryan was young ..he never let's anyone do him a favor or Help him out .. because he had this strange theory of his, to always repay any one's favor. So, he must have been nice to you because of your good will on him and since he has replayed it, he doesn't see any reason to talk to you. You get it?"

I slowly nodded" Oh ..now I get it. makes sense. .But. .. how do you know all these?"

He smiled gently flicking his fingers against my forehead. "Didn't I tell you that I'm his close friends who cleans up all his mess...so I know it all" He Said leaning back.

I was left contemplating on it. Although he was tagged a bad boy and all but I truly respected this theory of his. At least he knew how to return a favor which was gentlemanly. But he made it awkward!

The teacher had later arrived at class and taken the class on a rollercoaster of a long and boring course that got most people sleeping. I too even dozed off a little.

When it was finally over , we were glad she was finally leaving but before she left, she made an announcement.

"This weekend...The whole class together will be going on a camp season. So everyone get your stuff ready"

After she left, I began thinking of how it'd be. Actually, this was my first ever camp! I never went to camp in my previous schools because my mum said it was too dangerous and would always forbid me from going.

"Have you ever been to camp?" Ken who noticed my mood asked.

"Uh...well...yeah..eh......no ...I haven't" I finally replied. He smiled.

"Don't worry, I'll guild you on your first camp" He had assured and for a reason, I felt safe in his assurance.

I went home that that day preparing for the camp secretly in my room. I couldn't tell my mum about it. If she was to find out, she would definitely think that I'm not old enough and it's too dangerous. Then would again forbid me from going. But this time I really wanted to go. How nice it would be in the woods with your classmates. Based on my imagination of it, it was worth trying.

A night to the camp, I packed up the necessary stuff and then put them in my bad. It was just few clothes and stuff I might need there so I brought them along anyways.

It was going to be hard getting pass my mum with my bag through the sitting room so I had to find another alternative.

With the idea Intact, I threw off my bag through my window and watched it fall safely. Then I smiled in satisfaction. My camp was a sure thing!

I then got dressed in my casual looking outfit that day, a plain shirt and Jean trousers. I had my Black hair packed backwards in a ponytail style and then my glasses on

I left to the sitting room where my mum was cooking. "Hey sweetie aren't you gonna take anything to school?"

"Don't worry mum..I'm okey" I didn't wait to have further conversations with her. I just hurried out and then sneakily took the path of my window side where I picked up my bag and left.

Finally, I arrived at school and saw our classmates already standing outside before the school bus and waiting to board it. I simply walked to join them in the wait.

Just as I stood there, looking around, I felt someone tap me from behind. Shocked, I Looked back to see Ken's smiling face. My mood lightened up a bit

"You finally came... thought your parents would think that you're too young and wouldn't let you go" He said.

Come on! How does this guy literally know everything?! I smiled back ready to deny it all "No...no..it can't be...just overslept" I found an excuse as soon as possible.

"Okay then, that's good." He said. He was once dressed in a golf top and jumpers trousers which were both White and classical looking. And they suited him well.

"Everyone! Get on the bus! We're ready to go!" our teacher finally announced as they happily began boarding.

With a smile, ken looked at me "Ready for your first camp adventure?"

I nodded with a smile too "Sure"
