Chapter 3

"It's owned by the Harrison family, the richest clan here in St. Louis. Monica. "

The students nodded in amazement at what they saw.

"It seems scary to live there ..." not in Maxine's own language.

"It s rare to see those. Actually, no one has seen them in person yet. They rarely come down. " dag-dag pa ng Instructor.

"Maybe those people are ugly because they are afraid to socialize." against Meghan. Everyone laughed at what he said.

"I've seen them once in a magazine, and you wouldn't think that there are such beautiful and handsome creatures hiding here in our town." contrary to the Instructor.

"Maybe it's just photogenic ..." Meghan still whispered. Once again there was laughter inside the car.

"Silence please ..." the Instructor scolded, looking at the watch. "I think we're here .."

a few moments later, the bus they were riding in stopped, as did the other buses that followed them, as well as the private vehicles with some Instructors on board

Maxine s Point of view...

The view from here on the mountain is truly AMAZING, comforting. it's a good thing we'll stay here for three days. It was also far from town, also about an hour before we arrived.

I couldn't help but look at the hill where I didn't know if it was a house or a palace. It is surrounded by tall walls. it was lifeless and full of sadness.

"It's a frog!" I suddenly shouted with a hand on my shoulder.

"Easy ..." said the familiar voice. "It's me, Hevo. "

I was shocked to see it. "You scared me."

"The depth is what you think. what are you looking at? " it looked in the direction I had looked earlier. "Ah ..' yan ba. I also noticed that earlier while I was still on the flight. "

"Do you think .. you can live there for long?"

It laughed at my question.

"No way! Only the abnormal can last there. look like a haunted palace .. "

After all, the awrang around the house is scary.

"Participants find your partner, by course!" we heard announced by Miss Calupe, one of the Instructors of COM.

"Sorry, she s my partner! " drag me when who.

Meghan.

I also saw Hevo being pulled over by a man who was probably his classmate.

"Does everyone already have a partner?"

"Yes ma'am!" we all respond simultaneously.

"Before anything else, welcome to management camp 2016-20017."

Silence ..

"To start with, let s start the program with a very very easy challenge. You are warm. " Ma am smiled, and based on her smile, I was nervous. "Okay participants, within ten minutes, you have to build your own tent!"

Tsk, said that, eh! Extraordinary!

"What?" Meghan's irritated ejaculation although not heard by the Instructors ahead, each participant was far away from where they were. "Is she f *cking serious?My God, I don t even know how to attach those! "

"Those who fail to complain within a given time will be punished." dag-dag pa ni Miss Calupe. "You may start now."

It all started in a panic with the pitching of the tent.

"Ugh, I hate this!" Meghan nodded.

"Calm down first, how can we do this if you're irritated?" my language is fluent.

"Shut your mouth and do it!"

"I am used to hardship, so I am not afraid of any punishment. I just don't know about you. "

It looks stunned by what I said.

"Fine!"

...

...

After a while ..

"In five .. four .. three .. two .. one. everyone, hands up. "

Many graduated, and many did not.

And unfortunately, we are among those who did not finish!

"Everyone who can't finish comes here to the front ..." Miss Calupe announced again.

Meghan and I quietly followed and so did the others. I also saw Miss Beatriz involved in the punishment. Napaismid ako. We are equal now, no one is poor, no one is rich.

"The activity you did is to test how cooperative you are to each other since you are partners." introduction by Miss Calupe. "But since you guys failed ..miss Gillany will give you the punishment. "

Ma am Gillany stood up. Fortunately and this will provide punishment, and at least it looks easy.

"Uhm, since I'm kind, I won't hurt you." Ma am s tongue was still smiling. "Since you did not pass the initial test. you can't have lunch today .. "

Ayaaay!

Ma am s remarks garnered mixed reactions; some complained, got bored, and even cried.

He's too smart!

"It's not over yet. Since I m kind .. I ll give you one hour to look for your own food. "

"Excuse me ?!" that was Miss Beatriz's voice. "And which continent are we going to look for?"

Tsk, really rude. I m pretty sure that failed at GMRC in Grade School.

Ma am Gillany smiled and spoke again. "That would be the challenge. Let see how resourceful each one of you. "

No one spoke. I can see in everyone's face that they still want to protest but for what else? This is a camp, and it is part of the school activities.

"As what I have told you guys, we will not just have fun here. If you don't do your punishment .. you won't have lunch. it s your choice anyway. The time start now .. "

"DON'T let me go Maxine, huh ..." Meghan said scared while holding my arm.

"We're not close aren't we, as I get older .. you're mad at me." I sniffed at him. I want to tease him. It's like our sheep now.

"Tsk, I'm not serious there. That s just the way I am. " its justification.

I smirked.

"You're just scared you won't be able to have lunch, eh ..."

It suddenly grinned which annoyed me. "You'll give it to me, won't you?"

I said eh.

"Find yours." biro ko.

"Maxine, eh ..."

shake that preceded me to walk. We are in the middle of the forest, jusmeyo!

"It's so itchy ..." I heard Meghan complain. "Aren't you itching?"

"No."

"Because your skin is already immune. Look at your skin, maybe you don't even apply lotion. Very dry. "

this woman is insulting. When I actually find food I will never give it to him!

We just kept walking for a while. Wherever we wear. Until we came to a stream.

I was amazed. but that amazement was replaced by a frown on my forehead as my eyes caught sight of the familiar figure of a man. Are you arrogant !? What is he doing in this place ?!

I don't know but my eyes were fixed on him. I could not help but keep an eye on him; from her very handsome face, to --- paksh*t, My face suddenly became hot when she took off her top. I feel my throat go dry.

Enjoy your view.

"Meghan, do you see what I see?" I asked while still looking at the arrogant.

...

"Meghan ..." I called without answering. "Meghan ---?"

No Meghan ?! Where is he?

I looked back at the stream again, arrogant gone. It probably jumped into the water based on the noise I heard.

but a few moments later it still did not float. I frantically approached the mouth of the stream where it jumped.

"Wait! Are you arrogant okay ?! " I shouted. "H-hey, don't joke like that! Are you still there !? "

I felt anxious when it still didn t show. I think it's over .. I'll even have that arrogant conscience when it happens. I no longer hesitated to jump. No matter who is in this situation I will do the same.

I dived stealthily to find it but I was disappointed. Where did it go? It didn't go up.

I decided to go up when I still couldn t find it. I gasped and caught my breath.

"Looking for me?"

I was shocked by that voice. Arrogant, it sat on the boulder and looked at me seriously.

"W-wait, how can you ..." I couldn't continue to say. how did it get there, eh I didn't see him go up. "Did you know that your joke isn't funny ?!" I'm just annoyed with my language.

It just grinned and went back down into the water.

"Who told you to jump?" its teasing question approaching in my direction. "You're a woman, you're abusive."

"Excuse me ?!" I recovered, I was stunned by what he said

"Don't deny it." he raised an eyebrow. "I feel sharp, and I have a strong sense of smell. So even if you're hiding, I know you've been coveting me before. "

I feel like my jaw has fallen into the water. Seriously, I have nothing to say about this man s arrogance. So, what is he, dog?

"Hey, I just passed by. And I know you can bathe in the middle of the mountains. Why, do you own it ?! " I almost shouted at him. "And what is desired?"

He laughed at what I said, his narrow eyes narrowed.

"With what you said, you seem to admit that I am right. You're right. What you step on and everything you see belongs to me. "

I backed away a little, because it was only a handful away from me.

"You have a beautiful collarbone. "He commented while looking at my chest.

I was swallowed.

"What are you planning?" I asked hard despite the fact that I couldn't help but feel a little fear in my chest.

"You smell thirsty."

Again I was swallowed. maybe this 'man is addicted. My God, this is what I got for being caring.

On the way back, I didn't realize that the part I was stepping on was deep. Suddenly something pulled at me causing me to sink stealthily.
