We went back to our cottage after the encounter with the Willows yesterday.
"What itinerary do we have today, Vanessa?" I ask and same as yesterday we're all here in our cottage aside from Shaun that is, we're thinking what we should do for the day. Our semestral break is only a week but we still don't know what to do.
"Yeah, let us hear your plans." Melissa said, cause between the three of us it's Vanessa who always plan things.
"Here," she said and handed us one by one some paper.
"Wow, you came prepared. I'm impressed!" Quintin exclaimed as he reads the paper.
"Ohh, so yesterday was suppose to be rest day?" Captain asked, Vanessa nodded.
"So today... we'll be riding banana boats?!" Reyver exclaimed happily as I hear in his tone. Woah, that's exciting!
"Then, have a baking contest?" I confusedly ask. That's what written.
"Yes!" Vanessa exclaimed happily while clapping her hands.
"You think very differently, m'lady." Captain said and chuckled while shocking his head.
"I think this would be fun." Caleb commented.
"What about you Hiro? say something." Melissa exclaimed and my gaze went directly to Hiro. He's been utterly quiet, I know.
"Yeah, bro. Say something, you're here with us but at the same time it's as if your not." Quintin.
"I'm okay with the idea, really. I just don't want to talk." I kept looking at Hiro from time to time. What's the problem with him?
"Let's go, banana boating!" Melissa yelled as she points outside and started walking out. I chuckled, let's have fun!
We rented two boats that for 4 people each. The one is; Captain, Melissa, Caleb and Vanessa while in ours is Hiro, Me, Quintin and Reyver.
I can't stop laughing seeing Captain's group are way behind us. Hiro is our Captain and I don't know if he's enjoying or something, but there's a small smile that forms his lips. They kept rowing, aside from me and I laughed at the scene where Caleb's falling plus Captain keeps rowing and seem so serious about this. We're having a race back and forth.
Now, we're going back while Captain's team is left behind.
"Need help?" Hiro ask as we came where Captain got stock with.
................... (Third person's POV)
"Boat attack!" Melissa yelled and jumped the distance from their boat to Chelsea's. Melissa jumped toward Chelsea and Quintin is the one ended up in the water. Chelsea kept laughing and laughing.
"Boat attack!" Vanessa did the same with Melissa and laughed and laughed when Reyver fall off the other boat.
Captain and Caleb looked at each other and smirked looking at Hiro.
"Boat attack!" they both shouted and did the same.
Their boat riding ended up shoving each other in the boat while the other boat is deserted. They splashed each other with water especially those who got fallen into the boat and climbing back up. They were laughing and laughing even Hiro couldn't help his laughs.
Indeed, they made a powerful and amazing bond such as friendship.
.....................
"Let me help you, Vanessa." Caleb offered his hand for me when we arrived at the shore. I took it.
"Thanks." I said. Why are you being so nice to me, Caleb?
"Let's go! What's next on the list?!" Reyver asked looking for his paper that I gave earlier maybe.
"Sweets making." I said and smiled at them.
"Let's head to the cooking station!" Melissa exclaimed. This girl is so excited same with Chelsea. I smiled, I'm glad their having fun.
"We'll buy the ingredients," Quintin said.
"We'll come with you," Melissa said back.
"No, m'lady. The five of us can go, you girls can tiny things up at the cooking station."
"Yeah, I agree." Chelsea stated I just nodded at the idea.
So we went to the station, while Caleb, Hiro, Quintin, Lucas and Reyver have went to the other side.
I'm wiping the table for cooking while Melissa do the washing of the tools for cooking and Chelsea? Don't get me started. I don't know if she's picking plates or picking some poisonous flower. I chuckled, she's holding it with his index finger and thumb. Good thing the plates haven't been broken because of that.
"We're here!" Reyver exclaimed as he and the others placed the ingredients in the table.
"Let's have two teams again!" Melissa suggested.
"I'll go with Vanessa." I looked at Caleb as he said that. He smiled at me and took some ingredients and went beside me. He looked at me as our eyes met. Look away, Caleb.
I think I'm falling more deeper in my depths if you don't stop staring at me. I might never find myself again in the vast ocean.
...............................(Chelsea)
Hooo! that was one hell of a day! It's so tiring and at the same time it's so fun. I keep remembering what happened to our so called 'baking.' I chuckled at the thought of it.
We made a cake and instead for the cake to be coated with icing we were the ones who looks like a cake! So in the end our icing run out before the came could have it. So, no cake.*pout*
The only food that's left is Vanessa's team cookies! and... it's an epic fail. I never tasted such cookies that's hard as a rock! So it ended that... we didn't get to eat our sweets.
We all walked together and went to our separate cottages.
"Where are you going, girl?" Melissa asked when I took my hoodie with me and ready to go outside.
"I want to feel the night breeze here." I said.
"You really like roaming around the night, do you?" Melissa asked both hand in the waist.
"We can go with you." Vanessa said and stopped for a moment when she's preparing the television so we can watch a marathon this night, just the three of us.
"No, it's okay. I won't be long, I'll be back before you know it." I said and smiled to assure them.
"Come back, before the movie starts." Vanessa said, I nodded and went outside.
Ohh! I shivered at the cooled breeze. I walked at the shore and looking at the waters. Their are lights so I'm not afraid and I haven't walked far from our cottage so it's perfectly—-
Sh*t!
Every lights turned black and I couldn't see anything!
Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t! What should I do?! I'm afraid of the dark! I'm afraid of the dark!
I curled myself in the corner were I can feel the tree in my back. Inhale, Exhale, Inhale, Exhale.
"Hey, Chelsea is that you!?" how matter how scared I am I looked at the person in front of me.
"Are you okay?" He asked and tapped my shoulder and looked at me if I'm hurt or something.
"I'm afraid of the dark." I manage to say when my tears started falling. I never said that to anyone.
"Don't be afraid of the dark. Expect that when you're all alone in the darkness, I will constantly come find you. I will stay by your side whenever you're in a dark place." He assured by looking at my eyes and hugged me. Thank you.
