Memories at Camp

Before 5 p.m., the girls who went to the waterfall kept their promise by returning to the camp area on time. Same with Cindy and Wendy. They returned to their tents and prepared to bathe in the public baths around the campground.

When she took off her waist bag, Cindy realized the keychain had disappeared. He searched inside the tent with a flashlight. That caught Wendy's attention.

"Search for what, Cin?" tanyakanya.

"My keychain's gone, Wen. She was still in her waist bag. Uda doesn't exist now. Where did it fall?" answer Cindy.

"Where is it like?" ask Wendy while you search.

"Okay that logo. Logo game I don't know what. It's silver blue."

Wendy gawking. "Because .... Those who have it can't be clear that's the description. Where do key chains come from?"

"From James's."

"Ha ha ha .. baeqlah!" wendy Syndir.

After spending a while searching inside the tent, Wendy said, "It's not like it's in the tent, Cin. Later on, it will be his way. Who knows, fall outside. Let's take a shower first. I have to cook too. It's not good with our other group friends if we're late. Later while walking/activity, we while looking around. Who knows."

"Yes, yeah." Forcibly, Cindy follows her best friend's proposal.

They shower, cook, and finally have dinner together. Throughout the activity, Cindy's eyes pay attention to the grass where she stands and downstream. He hopes that the key chain can be found there. Unfortunately, his efforts were in vain.

The dark came. The sun has been replaced by the moon and stars. The campfire in the center of the campground was already lit, making for a very different atmosphere to that of daylight.

Currently, the returning students are gathered for the preparation of the guts test event. They are briefed on the flow of the implementation of the event and its rules.

The content of the briefing is that they will walk together along the path in the middle of the forest border that has been arranged route by the teachers. The road has a width of approximately 1.5 meters and is bounded by ropes on both sides.

When going down the route, the pair of students are only equipped with a flashlight. And for the sake of security, they are strictly forbidden to go out of the rope. This is important so that they do not get lost in the middle of the dark forest. Not to mention because this is a mountainous area, there are some cliffs covered by shrubs.

When they cross the starting line, the time will be recorded. Between the paths, there will be posts containing challenges from the post guard teachers. Those who can complete every challenge in the post and get to the finish line with the fastest time will be the winners. The school has prepared a prize for 3 pairs of students who managed to win this game.

This was welcomed by the students. They are eager to follow the game and challenged to be the winner, although there are some who are a bit hesitant for fear of his show being held on the forest border in the dark.

They are free to choose their own partners. Of course as best friends, Cindy and Wendy become an inseparable couple.

The event also began. Participants pair by pair started to cross the starting line. Sometimes there are shouts from behind the trees in the middle of the forest that add to the tension of the atmosphere. Some of the waiting participants began to get nervous and curious about what was happening with their friends.

That's how Cindy felt as long as she was in the row waiting for her turn. He was a little afraid of things like this. He would not want to watch a horror movie by his friends. And games like this, become one of the most avoided.

In contrast to Wendy who from earlier seemed excited and impatient waiting for her turn to arrive. Just because it is required to join and pair with Wendy, Cindy is willing to participate. Come to think of it, it might just be the first and last memorable experience in closing down her High School life.

Finally their turn came. After recording the time, they began to follow the road.

A few moments later, they found the first post. The first post is guarded by a language teacher. There they can choose the challenge to be tested. The choice is to make a pantun, reclaim it in English, or answer a quiz. Because they are IPS children, they prefer to answer quizzes.

Fortunately, the quiz is not too difficult for drakor lovers like Cindy. The question is to mention 'hello', 'thank you', and 'sorry' in Korean. Without thinking long, Cindy immediately gave the answer as fast as lightning. (author: anyone know the answer? Answer in the comments section well ..)

After getting the star as proof of passing, they continued their journey through the path between the trees. The night wind blew, giving Cindy goosebumps. Whether he was cold or frightened, he himself was already unable to tell the difference.

His spirit seemed to be separated from his body as soon as he saw a long white figure in the shape of a bolster suddenly jump out from behind the tree in front of him. Suddenly he shouted loudly and unconsciously beat the pocong-like creature with his heart.

"Stop! Stopit! Ouch duh! Pain, Cin! Stop that!" Pocong begged Cindy to stop the action.

Cindy was silent at the familiar voice. While Wendy was already uproarious to see the fate of Mr. James who beaten his best friend without being able to withstand the attack. How to hold back if his hands are wrapped in white cloth?

Yep. Mr. James was given the task of disguising himself as a pocong to scare the girls. His face was thickly covered to look pale. Around his eyes was also given a blackish color to give a spooky impression. But for Cindy, even though the current form of Mr. James is quite scary, strangely he is not afraid. Instead, he even thumped as soon as he saw the man.

Now they just understood, apparently this kind of screams they heard in the row waiting for the turn. If they were to currently encounter Mr. James as a ghost, it was likely that they would also see other teachers in similar roles.

James took off his bed. He was caught with the incident of beaten students who were confused with ghosts, such as Cindy. James chose to be a pocong without being swaddled. The important thing is to hide your hands and jump, right? At least if anything happens, his hands can be free to use.

Cindy who had beaten James unconsciously, so hesitated to see the teacher. He was attacked with guilt.

"I'm sorry, sir. I've beaten you, "he said with a bowed face.

James smiled at Cindy's attitude. He patted the girl on the head and tried to calm himself down.

"It is precisely the Father who must apologize. You were so scared, huh? Please understand it. yah .... You just carry out the task, "he said while grinning.

Cindy's heart was warmed by her teacher's treatment. Not that he was scolded for beating the Master, but instead this teacher apologized to him.

"Means you have successfully carried out the role of Mr. Mr .... Until it can make Cindy kayak gini, " continued Wendy in the middle of her laughter. James who heard the comment again grinned and gave the letter v with both fingers.

For a moment, they laughed and chatted together until James reminded them to continue the journey, as their time remained recorded. Cindy is not obsessed with being a winner. If he could choose, he would rather be next to James than continue the game.

But rules remain rules. Wendy won't let him stop there. By forced he had to leave Mr. James who was still in charge of scaring the schoolgirls in that place alone. With a heavy heart, he continued his steps.

In the middle of the journey, they still pass two more posts, namely the IPS post and the IPA post. Apparently to be fair enough for every student in the class, teachers provide challenges that relate to every major that exists. They also still encounter a female teacher disguised as a kuntilanak and Mr. Roy who turns into a mummy.

Until the finish line, all passed Cindy just like that without a deep impression. The rest of the journey he could go through without feeling as frightened as before. The brief meeting with Mr. James gave his own changes in living the rest of the route. Either he becomes bolder or maybe he doesn't really care.

Maybe because half of his heart was still left with James under the tree. Along the way, he was still imagined with warm scenes and feelings when Mr. James patted his head. For a moment Cindy forgot, if she was still in the process of letting go Mr. James. Wendy who realized that could only shake her head at the behavior of her best friend.
