Chapter 16

      * 8 am *
  Our second activity started and my team splits into three groups with two members so we can easily find the 4 numbers pinned on the trees. 
     "So, I'm thinking me with Miwa, Tachibana with Higashi, and Saki with Scarlet. Does that work for everyone?" I asked, if they are okay with it.
     "How about we mix it up and team up with someone we're not as close to? It could be a fun way to get to know each other better," Scarlet suggested.
     " Okay, who do you want to partner with?" I asked her and she said she want to partner with Higashi. I asked Miwa who he want to team up with and he goes for Tachibana, I already guessed he would pick her because he doesn't want to be with someone he doesn't talk to, I am too but I'm the leader I can't complain when I ended up partnering the person I don't know, so I guess I'll be Saki's partner for this activity, I'm not close to her though but i had no choice.
     " If you found the numbers pinned on the woods, go back here at the campsite understood? also check the map carefully so any of us won't get lost." I said and we all want separate ways to find the numbers.
     I'm looking at the map and starts walking, I told Saki to look at the trees carefully because the numbers might be small. As we went deeper to the forest I immediately spotted a number and ask Saki to wrote it down for me, she was happy because we already found a number and we went searching again. 
     [ Miyuki's POV ]
     " Tachibana I have a confession to make" Miwa said out of the blue and I looked at him.
    "I'm starting to develop feelings for your best friend," he confessed, his expression serious and sincere.
      " Oh, I already guessed it but is your feelings true? Maybe you just like her for her personality" I said.
   "I know this may seem sudden, but ever since we started talking, I found myself drawn to her, not just because of her personality. I admire her authenticity, and it's rare for me to develop feelings this quickly, but she's different," he replied, his words coming out swiftly.
     " Okay I understand, but if you hurt her feelings I swear I'll slap you so hard. She's like my little sister now so don't do anything stupid." I said unamused. 
     "I promise, if we end up together, I'll take good care of her. Can you help me get to know her better? I'll rely on you to tell me what she likes and everything," his voice filled with happiness now. I looked at him, seeing his sincerity, and nodded in agreement. He jumped with joy, shaking my shoulders. I gently stopped him, refocusing us on our task at hand.
     [ Saki's POV ]
     I'm happy because I'm alone with Akiyama, but the problem is I'm too shy to speak or make a topic. We were walking for about two hours now and managed to find one number so far.
     So I strive hard looking for a tree with numbers so he'll be proud at me, I squinted my eyes in a distance tree and saw a white paper on it. I ran towards it but I stepped on a rock and fell to the ground.
     " Saki!" Akiyama immediately helped me stand up. I teared up because I hurt my foot pretty badly and the tears stream down my face. 
[ Author's Note: I remembered the song from One Direction, if you're a directioner you'll get what I mean:3 ]
     " I'm... I'm sorry Akiyama, I just got excited because I saw a paper on that tree" I pointed at it and started crying.
     " It's okay Saki, wait here I'll write down the number on that tree" Akiyama said, he went to the tree I pointed and came right back after.
     " Are you hurt?" He asked.
     " M...my foot hurts" I sniffed.
      " Can you try to walk?" He said and I tried standing up but the force when I fell down went to my feet was pretty bad.
      " I... I think I can't walk, it's okay Akiyama I'll try my best to walk" I sniffed again.
     He's down on one knee and said he'll carry me. My heart skipped a beat and rapidly beats again.
     " No no no! It's o-okay!" I said to him. 
     " I know it's painful to take a step, I insist Saki and we're going back at the campsite now, besides it's almost 12pm. I'm sure the others found a number by now." He assured.
     So I let him carry me and now we're going back at the campsite. I'm so happy I could scream, Akiyama is so kind and I can smell his perfume a little while I'm on his back. I closed my eyes and wish I could stay here for long.
     * At the campsite * 
     [ Kei's POV ] 
     When we arrived, Higashi and Scarlet was already there. Miwa along with Tachibana and I and Saki came to the campsite at the same time. Scarlet rushed to us and asked what happened to her friend and the teachers rushed to us too.
     " She injured her foot" I said and put Saki on a chair, the teacher fetched the first aid kit and putted an ice pack on her foot. 
    I left them after she was treated and searched for Miwa but I saw him talking to Tachibana and he was blushing at her and she push her slowly so they could be able to talk privately. I can still see him blushing at her and Tachibana spanked his shoulder and walk away from him, she was wearing a mask but I could clearly see her eye's smiling my eyes furrowed a little and shrugged it off.
     We gathered the numbers we wrote down and the teacher gave us a box and they said we could unlock it using the numbers we found. We mixed the numbers we found and unlocked it, inside there was a cake for us as a reward.
     All of them was happy except for Tachibana and I were not really excited to the cake but still happy to eat it. Miwa took a plate and spoon for all of us and sliced the cake, I thought she's going to give the first slice to Tachibana but he gave it to Higashi.
     We all ate the cake and the teachers said it's a reward for completing today's activity and proceeds giving the other members the box.
     I asked Saki if she's a little bit better now and she nodded and thanked me. I told her to be extra more careful specially inside the forest.
