Chapter 11: Holiday Outing p.1

Thalia's POV

Today is Monday, and I love it because it's a holiday tomorrow.

Theo and his parents visited last Saturday. I am so happy to get to see them again after how many years. My parents welcomed them wholeheartedly, and both Theo and I's parents are talking in the living room, while Theo and I went to my room.

Flashback

"Wow! You still love anime,"

"Of course. I will forever love anime,"

"Yeah, yeah. You love anime so much,"

"Uhum"

"By the way, can I have the number of your friend?"

"Who?"

"The bubbly girl"

"Oh, Elkie?"

"Oh, so her name is Elkie,"

"You like her?"

"I find her interesting because she is kind of my ideal type,"

"Oh. To tell you the truth, you do look great together even though you are older than her a little bit,"

"We are?"

"Yup. Here's her number. You should be thankful because I don't give my friends numbers so easily,"

"Thank you so much, Thalia,"

"You're always welcome. Besides, I know you so much,"

"Tell me, Thalia. Is the guy carrying your bag, your boyfriend?"

"Zane? No"

"Oh. I thought your dating,"

"You thought. We are just close friends, nothing more,"

Theo looked at me intently.

"What's with the face?"

'Just close friends?"

"Ok, I will tell the truth. I like him, secretly,"

"Why not confess?"

"Because being with him is enough, and if I confess, I think there would be changes,"

'Oh, ok. You got a point there,"

"Thalia! Theo! Snack is ready!"

"Be right there, mom. Let's go?"

"Ok"

And that's what happened last Saturday.

Theo and his parents went home at 8 in the evening, after eating dinner and chatting with my parents.

I am now going out of the house.

"Good morning, Zane,"

"Morning"

"Let's go?"

"Uhum"

Narrator's POV

When Zane and Thalia arrived at the classroom, the squad are all there already.

"Morning," they all said.

"Morning," Zane and Thalia said.

Meanwhile, Elkie is so busy texting someone.

"Who are you texting, Elkie?"

"Huh? Nothing"

"Guys! Tomorrow and the next day is a holiday. How about we go to our rest house,"

"I'd love to," Elkie said.

"Count me in," Ronan said.

"I will ask permission from my parents first," Thalia said.

"Me too," Karina said.

"Me three," Zane said.

"Ok. Text me if you are going"

John and Katherine passed their classroom.

"John! Katherine!"

"What is it, Reese?"

"Want to go to our rest house this holiday?"

"I'm sorry, but I can't. You can go without me, John,"

"Is it ok?"

"Yes"

"Ok. I will just text you,"

That night, Thalia asked her parents if they would allow her to go to Reese's rest house this holiday, and her parents agreed. It made Thalia happy.

Her parents reminded her to be careful.

Thalia texted Zane if he's going, and he said yes.

Thalia hurriedly opened her closet and choose some clothes to wear for tomorrow and their stay at Reese's rest house for two days.

"What to wear tomorrow. Oh, I'm going to wear a white shirt, pants, and sneakers tomorrow,"

The next day, they all gathered where Reese said where to meet him.

By the way, Zane and Thalia both wear a white shirt, pants, and sneakers. They are like a couple.

"Oh, you're both wearing a white shirt," Karina said.

"You're like a couple," Elkie said.

"We didn't plan to wear the same color though,"

"Hop in guys,"

"Wow! You're so rich, Reese," Ronan said.

"I just borrowed the car. This is my brother's car,"

They all hop in the car, and they are on their way to Reese's family rest house.

After an hour and 30 minutes, they have arrived.

"We have arrived. Welcome to the rest house,"

"Wow!"

"It's big,"

"It's beautiful and cozy,"

"Come inside"

When they are inside, they all are fascinated by the interior.

"Feel at home, guys. By the way, there are seven rooms here, and it's good for all of us, so pick your rooms,"

"Ok!"

They all pick their rooms.

After picking their rooms, they all arranged their things and got some sleep because they arrived at 3 in the afternoon and they are all tired.

When they all woke up, it's already 5 in the afternoon.

"Did you all fall asleep?" Reese asked.

"Yes. The bed was comfortable,"

"How about we all cook dinner and eat it outside,"

"Ok"

Thalia's POV

We are done cooking and are now outside.

"Wow! The night sky today is nice,"

"I agree"

"Let's eat!"

"I'm so hungry just by the smell,"

We all started eating.

No one is talking because they are all busy eating.

It's getting cold, and I forgot to bring my jacket. It's in my bag.

"Are you cold?"

"I forgot to bring my jacket. It's inside my bag,"

"Use this"

Zane handed me a blanket.

"Thanks"

"No problem"

Just by lending me, his blanket makes my heart race.

"Ler's harvest strawberry and oranges tomorrow, guys. We have a strawberry and orange farm here. Let's clean the surroundings also. I told the workers that we would do it instead of them,"

"Call!"

That would be fun,"

"Let's pick them and make strawberry shake and orange juice for our snack tomorrow," Reese said.

"Ok"

"I know how to make strawberry shake," I said.

"I will make the orange juice," Zane said.

I looked at Zane.

Thinking about only the two of us in the kitchen makes me so happy.

"Is there something on my face, Thalia?"

"Oh, nothing. Sorry"

After eating, we went inside, washed the dishes, and watched movies.

We watched three movies.

After watching three movies, we all said good night, I mean, good morning because it's already 2 in the morning.
