EPISODE TEN 10: STIRRED.

"Apparently you fainted and Ethan carried you back to your tent and Miss Mellisa took care of you,"Ava said.

"Thank you so much, Miss Mellisa and Ethan, it means a lot," I said.

"It's nothing, it's my job as a teacher to take care of my students,"Miss Mellisa said with the brightest smile ever.

"Do you perhaps know what caused your passing out," Ethan asked in anticipation for me to answer.

"An incident happened to me when I was younger. Since then, I would either have a panic attack or pass out whenever I see blood," I said and I felt like a heavy load was lifted off my chest.

"I'll leave now. I need to assign those who are going to make lunch to their duties," Miss Mellisa said, setting to leave.

"What do you mean lunch, we are still going to the Castle right," I said hoping she would say yes.

"The time is 2:00pm, we can't go any longer because you passed out and I couldn't leave you with the security so we all had to stay, so we will be going tomorrow," she said.

"Oh my God, I can't believe I ruined the trip for everybody. They are all probably going to hate me forever,"I said.

"No, Hadizah, you did not ruin the trip for anybody, it was something you couldn't control, so it is not your fault," Miss Mellisa said.

"Anyway, we are going to be playing scavenger hunt, which was supposed to be for tomorrow," so there is a choice, she said smiling.

"Thank you so much," I said, trying to force a smile.

"It's nothing Hadizah, if you can't come for the game you should just stay in your tent and I'll ask Ethan or Ava to bring your food," she said.

"Ok, I'm definitely coming for a scavenger hunt, I'll just get ready and I'll be right out," I said.

It was then I realized I was still in a turban and I got very uncomfortable because Ethan was still in my tent.

"I think I should leave also," Ethan said, getting ready to leave.

I drew the end of his shirt.

"Thank you," I said.

"It's no problem Dee," he said.

How can he be such a gentleman?

"I'll leave now," he said.

"Bye," I said waving

"Bye,"he said, waving back.

"You guys are definitely a perfect match," Ava squilled.

"Stop shouting, he might hear you and how many times do I have to keep telling you that he has a girlfriend," I said.

"Did you see how cute he was when he carried you in the bridal style, it was so romantic," Ava said like a little girl that had just finished reading a fantasy book.

"Ava, I like the way you keep putting me in a high position with the hottest boy in school, I like it but trust me, we can never ever ever happen," I said.

"I still can't wait to tell you I told you so," she said.

"Ava let's get ready for the game," I said, shoving her out of my tent.

When we got out I felt all eyes on me, the stares pierced through me like a thousand daggers.

Since some of them thought of me like a terrorist and now the terrorist kept them from going to the Castle. They are all probably going to hate me forever.

Now the students have started murmuring between themselves. We all had lunch and the game was about to begin.

"So we have hidden different flags on the most secretive areas, the earlier you come with the boxes determines the rank you will be put in this is also going to add to your GPA," Miss Mellisa said.

"Do you understand," she said.

"Yes ma'am,"everyone chorused in a loud voice.

"Freddy.

Ethan.

Michael.

Mally.

Ryan.

You are on the same team.

Ashley.

Ava.

Dylan.

Mal.

Daniel.

You are on the same team.

Primrose.

Hadizah.

Capriana.

Maya.

Juliet.

You are on the same team," Miss Mellisa said.

Why, why me, what is it with me getting hooked with this girl, I know she dislikes me and now we are on the same freaking team.

"Now, disperse and let the games begin," Miss Mellisa said.

Move out of the way fucker, Maya said to me.

Oops, Rose said intentionally hitting me with her shoulder.

I tried to talk but then I remembered a verse of the holy Quran that states that Allah has a special Jannah for those who are perseverant in their lives.

"I think we should spread out and look for the flag. It's better if we split up and don't forget our team colour is blue," Capri said.

"Ok," I said.

After a long time of searching I finally found the flag.

"Hey look I found a flag," I said hoping that they would be happy about it. But then Juliet pushed over to the side as I was about to grab the flag.

"Hey what was that for,"? I asked.

"Ooops sorry about that," she said with a smirk on her face.

I looked up and that was when I realized that she and Rose were in cahoots.

"And that's for trying steal my boyfriend, from me you fucker," she said.

I could feel the sting of unshed tears in my eyes. My whole life has been screwed up and upside down ever since I got to this school and country. I just want to go back home already. I curled my knee up and I cried my eyes out.

"Hey are you Ok," I heard a voice.
