The next morning we all reached the college campus because we had to go for the hiking. Lisa and I were also waiting for Peter in front of the bus that pulled up outside the college campus. But Peter had not arrived yet .
" Why hasn't Peter arrived yet? " I asked Lisa.
" Maybe he got late in getting ready or getting up, don't worry, he will arrive soon." She replied.
Then Alex also came there and went inside the bus , and we were still waiting for Peter outside the bus , After some time, Peter also came running towards the college campus holding his bag.
" I'm so sorry babes , I'm late I'm really sorry for whatever I did yesterday , I promise I'll never do this again."
"About that , It's okay and my anger was already subsided when you sent me a chocolate cake with sorry written on it yesterday. "
I also told Peter and he hugged me happily.
" Ahm ahm ... My dear love birds, can you both please get into the bus now or else we will be late for the hiking ? "
" Yeah , let's go peter." I said while blushing cause lisa was teasing us with her words .
All three of us boarded the bus and took our seats. After travelling in the bus for a few hours and enjoying the journey, we reached the hiking location.
Luci : Okay, so guys, now all the students will come out of the bus one by one , we
have all reached the hiking location. " Our lecturer miss lusi declared.
We all got down from the bus and gathered together.
" Now you all go with your respective partners and set up the tents as it is evening and it is about to get dark. Tomorrow you all will go hiking. "
" What ! Do we all have to share the tent with our partners?" Lisa asked miss Lucy in shock.
" Yes , my dear Lisa and you all have to share a tent with your partners and you also have to share tent with James , cause he is your partner" Miss lucy also replied to her.
" Ain't no way I'm sharing the tent with this asshole ! Alex " I also disagreed with Miss Lucy and said.
" Absolutely not, you will have to share the tent with your partners and this is my final decision." Miss Lucy said.
I took Lisa's hand and took her to a corner with me and said ,
" Lis, we have to do something, I don't want to live under the same tent with Alex. "
" I don't want to live under the same tent with this James either. "
" So ... What's the plan ? "
" Let's do a campfire ! " Lisa screamed with her idea for avoiding the so called same tent rule for partners."
" Yes, you're right. We should have a campfire. If everyone will be out of the tent all night, we won't have to sleep in the same tent with the two of them. " I said to her out of excitement.
" Come on , Lets talk to Miss Lucy about this idea."
Lisa held my hand and we both went to Miss Lucy and Miss Lucy also liked our idea and she gave us permission to have a campfire night . We all went to look for wood nearby. I was also looking for wood when I met Alex who was also looking for wood for the campfire.
" Hey , You did all this so that you wouldn't have to spend the night under a tent with me didn't you ? "
" Yes , I did it because I couldn't spend the night under a tent with you , cause you're so irritating ."
" Well, I also have no desire to spend the night with you in one tent, you're not my type. "
" You're also not my type either , huh ! "
I left angrily. It was night and the campfire was lit. Everyone formed a circle and sat around the fire.
" I think we should play some music, it will make the vibes even better. " Lisa suggested.
" My boyfriend plays guitar really well, so I think Alex baby , you should play guitar for all of us. " Lara said flexing her so called boyfriend alex's guitar skills.
Everyone agreed with Lara, and Alex brought his guitar and sat down to play. Everyone's attention was on him. The girls were looking at him as if he was the prince charming of all the girls' hearts. As soon as he started playing the guitar, I was really amazed by his guitar skills , I never thought that a boy like him could play the guitar so well. I was impressed by him the first time, his guitar skills were really praiseworthy.
" Guys let's do a couple dance too." Lara suggested and all the couples got up for dancing.
Lara took the guitar from Alex's hand and handed it to James, asking him to play it and started dancing with him to the tune of the guitar. All the couples started dancing to the tune of love. Seeing everyone dancing, Peter also came near me and extended his hand towards me and said ,
" May I ? "
" Sure , why not ? "
I also said this lovingly while giving him my hand and we both smiled at each other and started dancing to the romantic tune of the guitar. I still remember the tune of the song James was playing on the guitar, it was a very famous and very romantic song by Ed Sheeran, called "perfect " , we were just dancing to the dance steps and having our moment when the partner swapping step came up, and Peter left my hand, and I turned around and fell straight into Alex's arms. And Lara went to Peter. I didn't want to dance with Alex, so I tried to grab my hand from his shoulder, but instead he pulled my waist by his hands and continued dancing with me , but if he was stubborn then I was too i grabbed my hand and sat down instead of dancing with him.
After a night of dancing, it was morning and after a little rest in Lisa's tent, we had to go hiking in the morning. As per Miss Lucy's orders, we went to the hiking with our partners. I went with Alex even though I didn't want to, Peter was with Lara, and Lisa and James were together . I went with Alex. We were going when we came to a direction with two different paths.
" I think we should go to left " I insisted
" No , we should go to right " he said choosing a different path.
" No , left "
" I said , right "
" Okay , so you go the right but I'll go to the left path " I told him and angrily walked towards the left.
I walked angrily and walked on, without thinking about where I was going. After a while, I stopped and realized that I was back where I started from. And then I realized I was lost, I got scared and started screaming for help .
" Help !!! Is anyone here to help me, I am lost. "
I screamed and screamed a lot, but no one came to help me. searching for a way like this for a few hours, I got tired. I sat down and started crying. I felt like I was being choked. After some time I heard Alex's voice calling out to me.
" Alex , I am here, please help me, I am lost."
I cried and called out to Alex, and he called out to me in reply. After calling out to me for some time, he saw me and came running towards me. As soon as I saw him, I hugged him and started crying loudly. He also started to silence me and console me by patting his hands on my back and caressing my hairs . For the first time, seeing Alex gave me peace and happiness instead of frustration and anger, which I had never experienced before.
