“Wake up, Sophia. We need to go back to our room.” Emma, who was the second one gets up from the bed, trying to wake up her friends.
Aiden sits on the bed. He was the first one wake up from sleep. Or should he say he doesn’t sleep at all?
“Aiden, you look awful.” Emma spoke to Aiden. The dark circles under Aiden's eyes show that Aiden is not getting enough sleep.
“Is it because Mabel sleeping next to you? Oh, Aiden, you really like her huh?”
Yesterday, Aiden woke up when someone came into his bed. He was in his sleepy state, turning to see who was next to him and when he saw Mabella, Aiden fell off the bed.
He didn't know why Mabella came to his bed but looking at Mabella's condition, she was like walking in her sleep. Possibly, Mabella didn't realize that she had gone to someone else's bed.
Aiden, on the other hand, didn't know what to do since the other beds were all full. At the end, Aiden decided to sleep next to Mabella but unfortunately, he just couldn't sleep
Aiden covered his face with his hand. He can’t deny his nervousness. Why is he so alert with a girl sleeping next to him? No, he didn’t mean he slept with girl tons it just that he never expects the day he bothered by this would come. No wonder Marcos makes such a big fuss when he sleeps besides Sophia. Huh? Does that mean Marcos like Sophia?
Aiden shook his head, throwing away all his useless mindset. He with gentle, wake up Mabella from her sleep. “Mabel, it’s morning. You need to back to your room.”
“Hnggh.” Mabella rubbed her sleepy eyes. She is stretching her body and raised her face to look at the person in front of her.
“Whoaa!”
Bukk!
Mabella fell off from the bed.
“Wow, Mabel. You are really hilarious.” Sophia doesn’t expect to see things like this as soon as she woke up. Her sleepiness immediately disappeared when she saw Mabella.
Mabella really know how to make her day.
“Mabel? Are you okay?” Instead of funny, Aiden worried. This girl, can’t she be a little careful? Why does she always fall? Is that really a shock to see his face first in the morning?
“I’m ... I’m ... no, wait... Why- why did I slept next to you? Aren’t I yesterday slept with Sophia?” Mabella who still at her place, lifting her head, met eyes with Aiden.
“Probably, sleepwalking?” Aiden grinned with full meaning.
“That- that’s so embarrassing.” Mabella stand up without looking at Aiden. She continued walking towards the door. She just wants to quickly disappear from this room. Her cheeks couldn't bear the red anymore. Just how stupid can she be? Can’t she just stay sleep with Sophia?
Aiden can not help but let out a small laugh. If Mabella thought that was embarrassing, he thought that Mabella was cute. Can her cheeks get any redder?
“Stop laughing, Aiden. You are just the same. You couldn’t sleep because of that too.” Emma warned Aiden.
Aiden immediately remove the smile from his face. He gets up from the bed and went to the bathroom.
Emma, Gianna and Sophia went to their room while the others still busy sleeping.
Madam Nina stands in front of the students. She sighed in disappointment because of her students not being on time. She yesterday announced her students to gather in the lobby at 7 a.m. and right now it was 8.30 a.m. and of course the last person who was coming here was Marcos.
“So, Marcos, you have anything to say?”
“Not really.” Marcos shrugged his shoulder. He knew he was late but please, it’s not like other students were earlier too.
Madam Nina gives up. It is really no use talking to the problematic students. “Forget about it, we come here to have fun so let’s not spoil the mood.”
“Suzy, please explain to them today’s agenda.”
“Very well.” Teacher Suzy steps out. Like Madam Nina yesterday, she holding a few of white papers containing their activities.
“We are going to botanical garden today. The aim of our trip today for you to learn every kind of flowers you don’t know. You also can take a picture since it has a beautiful scenery. Today we will learn while calming the mind. That’s all, you can take the bus now.”
“Aiden, are you going to the same bus as Mabel?” Marcos questioning Aiden.
“Nah, I will pass today.” Seeing Mabella already getting on the bus with her friend, Lily, it’s better for him to not bother them. Not like they not gonna meet later.
“Hmm, I see. Then, lets go to the bus.” Marcos just let it off. He don’t even bother to ask reason since it’s not his problem anyway.
“But seriously, why garden? Is there anything interesting there?” Sophia sound out. She doesn't seem interested in learning about flowers.
“Well maybe because you are not a nature lover.”
“Then, how about you, Emma?”
“I like it. It’s calming and I just love everything that was green. If you happen to be sad or heart broken, you can come to a place like that. Either it was garden, beach or even on the hill, it can help your mind. The sounds of wind and birds chirping can make your mind in peace.”
“Wow, I felt like I talking to the poetic.”
Emma chuckled.
Aiden just heard both of them chatting. Emma is a soft hearted person. It suits her for being a nature freak.
But, well, he will take the advices well. Who knows, someday a bad thing would happen to him? It’s not a bad idea to spend time at a place like that.
“Are you guys done talking? If so, let's get on the bus now. I don’t want to get scolded from Madam Nina anymore.”
“Who asked you to wake up late? You are the one to blame here.” Sophia stuck out her tongue at Marcos. She ran into the bus when Marcos started chasing her.
The others just laughed. As usual, there isn't even a day they don't fight.
