"Hurry up! You're too lazy to act!"
I just sighed at Fiona's shout from outside. We still have 15 minutes before the game will start but she wants us to prepare already. You thought he was the leader, he was just an assistant. Duh.
"Oh, we're so sorry? We don't have any special powers so we're taking too long to get dressed," Mau replied to her, who was with me here in the tent and getting dressed.
"I know but we're not going to attend a party. A simple outfit will do," she said irritably.
Mau and I just hurried to get dressed before going out. The weather was hot so I just wore a loose crop top with a sports bra inside because that's Mau's suggestion. I'm not so comfortable while wearing it.
"So awful! I thought you wore a gown because of taking so long. Gosh! It's so hot and then you let me expose under the heat of the sun!" she complained when we got out.
I raised my eyebrow at her."And? Who told you to wait for us? You're in a hurry, maybe there's no one there yet."
"She's right. Wait, where are the others? Why did you just go to us. You should've told them and brought them here." Mau turned to him as I continued to stare around.
We haven’t even been able to tour here in the whole camp. Amp!
"Oh shit! Wait I'll just call them on the other tent. Mau come with me." Fiona pulled her but I immediately pulled Mau back as well.
"So, you're going to leave me alone like that? You're so deceitful!" I was trampled because I was annoyed when Mau went with him.
"Don't worry bessy, just wait there. We'll be back," she replied and turned to Fiona.
I just pouted and walked away, feeling the atmosphere that greets me. It's up to them, I won't wait for them. The sun wasn't that hot so I could freely walk around. It's just the number of students I encounter because this camp is big and they may be in different parts of it.
"Shara!"
I immediately turned around to find the person who called me."Hey, Racer! You're here! I haven't seen you before. Where did you go?"
"I'm still taking care of some things. I'm a member of the SSG Councilors. You? You're supposed to play games with your classmates, right?" he asked me again and followed my steps.
I was blown away again."My teammates left me to find the others so I'm just here, walking alone. But they will also come back so we can participate in the games."
"I would have liked to participate in the games in our section in case SSG can't be just watchers in the game. But we still have points since we did our job," he replied happily and waved his hands in the air.
"The boring part of your job, it's lifeless. You couldn't stretch your muscles by just standing there and watching them play. It's so unfair!" I protested.
He chuckled and shook his head."Yeah. But it's not that boring if you're the one I'm watching at. You're so fun to watch because apart from being naughty, you're also good at playing."
"Heh! It's just like you!"
We even went for a walk and talked about what he was doing as an SSG Vice-President. I know it's not that easy because instead of maintaining the peaceful treatment of the students, they still need to do a lot of things involving the school events and many others. Fortunately, even though I was the leader in our class, I was not one of them. Well, mostly their targets were an intelligent one.
"Argh! We've been looking for you before and you're just here with... Oh my gosh! Racer!" Roses and the rest of our teammates had just arrived.
"Shut up! I thought I was just your crush?!" annoyed, Steven said to her and closed his eyes.
I just shook my head and got up from the swing."We just met earlier and talked for some things while waiting for you guys. Are we going now?"
"Yeah. We only have 7 minutes before it'll start," Jelo replied.
I looked at Racer for a moment who also stood up on the swing he was sitting on."How's that? We gotta go now. See you later!"
"Hmm, sure. See you later." He waved at me until we were far away from him.
When we arrived at the meeting place where we would all meet, they were already there. The three groups were already there and we're the fourth group. There are two people arranging a table in the front and then two chairs. I even noticed the two microphones above the table and a folder that was entitled 'Q&A'. Maybe it's the questionnaire for our game. But why do there seem to be two contest hosts?
"So, good afternoon students. Are you ready for another contest? I'm sure this will gonna be fun." Coach Castanier appeared in front and raised both hands on the table.
"Yes coach!" they all shout.
"So for now, I'm going to call someone to accompany me for this game. Please welcome our SSG Vice-President, Racer Troveralia. He'll be the one to discuss the rules for this game." The coach applauded as Racer walked to the front and bowed to all of us.
"Shems! You talked to Mr. Handsome earlier, Shara. How lucky you are!" Kyla whispered to me.
"Hi, students. I bet you already know me since I'm a part of the SSG Councilors and the Vice-President to be exact. I'm here in front of you to explain how to play this game named 'Q&A', " he smiled at us all so his deep dimples appeared." First, you're going to form a circle by group. Second, coach Castanier and I will ask some questions and after that, you'll think for an answer in just 15 seconds. Third, if you already know the answer, you can run here in front and get the microphone to say the answer. And fourth, the group that will get the highest points will receive a price. Note, all of the members should participate to prevent disqualification but you can still help each other. Is it all clear? You can ask any questions if you're still bothered, "he added and looked at us one by one.
He shifted his gaze to me so he smiled. It seems that my classmates noticed that and started screaming. I immediately looked away while my teammates kept on teasing me. Fortunately, the coach, who was busy reading the contents of the folder, didn't notice that.
"Not a priest, not a king, dressed like anything. What is it?" Racer asked using the microphone and then laid it back on the table.
One of the members of group 2 stood up and ran to the front to answer the microphone."Vegetables."
"Wrong, hija. Who's next?" said the coach.
"What's going to happen?! Are the vegetables wearing clothes?! It's like a fool!" Josh said with a sigh.
I was thinking for a possible answer that suits for the question. I didn't know that this contest was riddles ... No one of us knows.
"Ten seconds left .. 10 .. 9 .. 8 .. 7 ---"
I suddenly hit Jelo when I found out the answer and then ran to the front."Butterfly, is that right?"
He smiled at me and nodded. "Yes, it's correct. Butterfly is the answer."
"Soft as a cloud, with me dreaming. What is it?" coach asked.
"Guys I know the answer! Isn't that a bed?" Mau shouted but was told to be quiet.
"I think she's right. Who will answer in front? Time is running," Jelo asked hurriedly.
"Wait, is it sure? It's just one mistake that can ruin our score," Kyla reminded us.
"We can't rush. It looks like the other group has already sounded. I bet they would answer it." Steven turned to the front and so did we.
"It's a bed, isn't it?" answer of a representative in group 5.
"I'm sorry but it's wrong."
"If it's wrong, then the answer is pillow. Pillow is the right answer, I assure you. Josh, you answered!" I hit him so he did nothing and quickly ran to the front.
"Pillow," he replied.
"I'm sorry but the time is up."
"No, he's just on time. It's correct, you can go back now." Racer stopped the coach and smiled a little at Josh.
"Gosh! We're almost there." Fiona even fanned herself as if she couldn't breathe. She didn't even help us to know the answer!
After the games, we were so happy after knowing that we won the game. They were so thankful because they have me and Jelo to help them analyze the questions. They said that our group was lucky because I was the first honor and Jelo was the second honor. We both shook our heads and went back to our tent to eat snacks. We had different snacks in the other group. Maybe because it's our price for winning the game.
"Hi guys! Congrats earlier." Racer suddenly appeared in front of me so I didn't accidentally spit out the mogu-mogu I was drinking.
"God! I'm so sorry. I didn't really mean it. It's your fault! You always appear like a mushroom!" I was confused and didn't know what to do. I don't have any handkerchief or any tissue.
My gosh! Embarrassing!
"No, it's okay. I had an extra T-shirt on my bag. I'll just change," he insisted and just laughed.
He still managed to laugh even though I already spilled the mogu-mogu from my mouth to his shirt. It's freaking disgusting!
"Tell me the truth. Did you have anything to do with our winning because you like Shara?" Roses asked continuously.
My eyes immediately widened so Steven covered his mouth."Why so straightforward, my admirer?"
My admirer? Pft. Sounds cute.
Racer suddenly laughed."No, I'm not. You just did your best on it. If you want to see your scores, you can approach coach Castanier. I'm even amazed at you guys... especially on you, Shara. "
"Is that right please? I might have a stroke because of the shiver. It's cannot!" Kyla even grabbed her forehead, as if she couldn't take it anymore.
Yuck! After the snack time, we have another free time to enjoy ourselves. Mau and I would have toured the whole camp in case he joined other classmates for picture taking. I'm not like the others that loves taking some pictures so I didn't join them. I don't know how to pose or anything. Maybe I'll just spend time with myself.
"Shara, it's you! It's a good thing we met you, I'll just ask you something about our games. Is it okay?" Hades blocked in front of me so I backed away a bit.
"If I know the answer maybe I could help you. What is it?" I asked frowning.
Caseth and Ziro were just standing next to him and watching us."Here, look. Maybe you know these riddles for our contest later. Just wait, let me read ah," Hades said.
I stopped him."Aren't you cheating? You shouldn't have a copy of the questions before the game, right? Don't tell me you stole it from your coach."
"What do you think of me as a thief? Our coach gave those questions and we can freely ask our schoolmates to help us for the answer," Caseth whispered, still looking stunned.
Are you mad at me?! But unfairness, their rules are different from ours.
"Actually, we know some of the answers but we still have remaining 5 questions. Can you help us?" This time, Ziro approaches me. He rarely spoke so I hesitated to refuse.
"Fine! Read the questions."
"Flowers should be made first, before you eat them," Hades read on the paper.
I thought about his question. Is there food with flowers? Their riddles seem a bit difficult. It wasn't belong on our questions earlier. Squeezing the brain!
"I think it's banana. Next."
The three of them widened their eyes."Stupid! Are you sure or are you just playing with us? How did the banana bloom, huh?"
Abat! Is Caseth still yelling at me?!
"You're stupid too! You asked for my answer and then you're hesitating if you're gonna believe me or not?!" I also annoyed growl at him.
"It's okay. Listen here. One entrance, three exits." Hades frowned and then laughed. Caseth and Ziro burst out of laughing too.
Son of an eggplant! What are they laughing at?!
"What are you?! I thought you guys were serious. If you don't stop I won't answer your questions!" I annoyed them and scolded them.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's nothing. What's the answer?" Hades still hasn’t come to his senses because he’s still holding back a laugh.
I just rolled my eyes at them."Shirts, of course. Tsk."
"Ah, that's it. I thought what, pft. Here's next. A grain of rice, covered the whole house." Hades wrote something on the paper for a moment and then turned his gaze back to me.
"Bulbs, probably. It's just so simple yet you didn't know it." I just shook my head and motioned for him to continue.
"You carry it everywhere. You carry what you carry. This is really the part where we are really confused. It's so hard to get." He scratched his head so hard and then looked at me.
"He said brief. Is it right?" Caseth asked me.
My eyes widened."Why so stupid?! Shoes is the answer."
"This is the last one really, we won't bother you anymore. Bones and skin, flying. It'sconfusing,s you know?" Hades' last question to me.
I thought for a moment."I think it's a kite. Yes, that's right... the answer is a kite."
"Thank god! Thanks Shara, you helped us a lot." Ziro messed up my hair so I tried to smile at him.
"Come on! We might not be able to make it, just a few minutes. Thanks, ugly." Caseth gently pushed my forehead and then shouldered his friends away.
Aish! Damn him! I'll be thankful to just push my forehead, amp!
