Confusion

Femi

I got to the camp site and it was beautiful nothing like I expected. It wasn't grand like I expected it to be but I guess they where going for something simple and natural. It was just one tent that has been set up, I guess they are just waiting for later in the night to set it up.

The view is amazing and peaceful although the tent has not been set up yet. I think that is why the place is peaceful and not crowded. By the time they finish setting up everything up I bet the place won't be as quiet as it is now. I decided to just walk around a bit so I can get used to my environment. Every time I go to a new place I love to explore a bit so my body can get use to the place.

The more I walk into the woods the more peaceful I feel. I haven't felt like this in a while not since everything that happened with my family. This place is freaking awesome I wondered why people don't come to this place. If I was the one that own this land i would have turned it into a pack so can come for picnic, come to think and even just to think. I wondered how Asher got permission to come to this place because I remembered clearly when I first got to this place the first thing that I was warned never to do, was to come to this place uninvited.

Asher managed to get himself invited he must have friends in high place, I heard that the mayor of this town lives here and alot of letters has been written to him by the townspeople and even strangers like me but the old man won't let or accept anyone's request. I am still confused how Asher got allowed into this place I guess it is just my lucky day, and seeing all the supplies Asher friends packed for this trip, they must have been planning this trip for a very long time.

Asher friends came prepared with bagpack full to the brim unlike me.

I came with just my laptop bag which have all my essentials like my toothbrush, my notebook, mosquito repellent, my vitamins and a changeof clothes. Asher friends on the other hand packed like they were on road trip or traveling. Realizing I have gone too far into the woods I decided to return to the other guys maybe now Asher can introduce me to the other guys so I will get to know who I spend the night and tomorrow with.

But the time I got to the clearing everyone was there talking to each other. I quickly found Asher since he was the only I know there. Everyone was told to introduce themselves and I don't know why they decided to start from Asher but they did.

"Hi everyone, my name is Asher am from South Korea, I was adopted by parents when I was three and I am a photographer. I just love photography so much ever since I was a little boy my mom got me a little camera for my birthday, I see every photograph as a story, the little details that makes up the photos. I love adventures and learning about new place I know this place hold so much history and am ready to explore"

"Nice Asher " says the guy that looks like the leader of this trip " next person" oh my God, I am so nervous I hope I don't mess this up.

"Hi everyone, my Femi am from Africa I just moved to this town. I teach at City college and am Asher professor. I love to explore and about the historical facts about places" this continues until everybody introduced themselves, but surprisingly they do not say much during the introduction.

I have a bad feeling about this people I wonder where Asher met this people. Like they keep to themselves always whispering amongst each other. The way they keep looking around like they are afraid of something.

I decided to ask Asher about these people and how much he can trust but as usual he is nowhere to be found. I searched and searched the entire camp until I found talking to the only female on this trip.

" Can I speak with you Asher" I ask Asher.

"Yes you can, go on am listening" there is nowhere am talking to him in front of her what was her name again.

"In private" I led him away from the clearing because I don't want anyone eavesdropping on our conversation.

"Asher how well do you know this guys" I know am being paranoid and a bit dramatic but my instincts never lies.

"Well not much, but I met Felix at the pub last week and one thing led to another we talked for a while about the extra I need for school and he told me about this trip with family, he was going to cancel the trip because he didn't want to see his family but I managed to convince to attend the camping trip"

" Okay so how did you get invited to the trip"

"Well...."

"Well do you mind finishing your statement for me"

"Okay fine, I practically invited my self okay" I can't believe this, I am pissed to speak right now . I wish I could just strangle him right now.

"I can't believe you right now, the one thing I hate so much it's to be an uninvited guest" now I know why I feel uncomfortable and weird around them .

"Am so sorry Prof " I wished he had told me earlier I won't have come on this trip.

I don't want to stay here anymore I feel so uncomfortable and I know am going stressing about this all weakend, but I have to push through.

I can't even look at you right now" I said to Asher, I left him standing there while I return back to the clearing.

I do feel bad for the way I spoke to him but he needs to learn not to deceive people.
