The room was filled with the sunset's color, violet and orange. Athena sat on her bed, enjoying the view. Suddenly, there's something that pops up to her mind but only for a split second. And she forgot about it.

"Athena! Come down, help me prepare dinner" Ashley, Athena's older sister shouted from downstairs

Without answering, Athena went down and went searching for her sister who was at the kitchen getting some plates.

"There you are." Athena's mother told her.

"What are we having" Athena asked as they were walking to the dining room.

"Pasta." She answered shortly as she put the plates down the table carefully

"Can you please help me get the pasta bowl in the kitchen? It's next to the seasoning section" Ashley asked

Athena nodded. She walked to the place her sister meant and came back with a bowl of pasta in her hands. When she arrived, she saw her dad was out fron his mini office room and sat down on the table.

"How's work, dad?" Ashley asked

"Pretty good" he replied while taking the pasta

"Oh, I wanted to tell you guys something" Athena said

"What is it?" Her dad, Mr. Windston Zerichter asked

"So, my school will have a camping trip for 3 days and 2 nights next week. Can I go?" Athena's Mother exchanged looks with her dad.

"Honey are you sure? You've never been to any school camping trips" Her mother asked. It's true, Athena never went on the school camping trip.

"I'm sure! Soraya and Vanessa will be there too." She replied

"Alright then. Is there... any permission forms we should fill in?" Her dad asked.

"Yeah, I'll give it to you after dinner"

"Here's the form" Athena handed the form for the school camping trip to her parents. Her dad read the form carefully and took a pen from his desk. He signed the paper and gave it to Athena for her to sign aswell. "Thank you dad!" She left her dad's office room and went to her room cheerfully. As soon as she entered her room, she grabbed her phone and texted her friends, Soraya and Vanessa. She was so excited that she spent 2 hours chatting with two of her friends talking about the camp

The camp is just 2 days away. Athena started to pack her things that she will need for the camp. "Sandals...books... OH! FLASHLIGHT!" She mumbled while packing her stuffs for the camp. Oh! How exciting will the camp be! She thought herself. She put her luggage next to her and Ashley's bunkbed. Then as always she grabbed her phone and texted her friends and surfed on the internet.
