Hi! I'm Lise, Lise Cronel, 17 years old, only child, well I was, I'm an orphane, my parents died when I was 5. No one of my relatives wanted to take care of me so I was given to an orphanage.
When I became 15 I moved to study in a pretty prestigious high school. I lived in a rented appartement, I payed it from my own money, gained from the part-time jobs I worked in.
This summer after the end of the second year, my school decided to organize a camping trip to the mount... Uhh, well I don't remember which one. I chose to go because to change air and atmosphere.
"We're at destination students! Get off the the bus one by one."... And we're here.
It feels refreshing changing your (toxic) surroundings.
"... -ise! ... Lise! Lise!"
While I was peacefully taking a break from the long trip I heard some callings.
Ouh... I think I recognize this voice. Yeah, it's undoubtedly him. How annoying.
I turned my head slightly to check, well... I was right it's him.
_ So, what's wrong... London?
_ Lise! Well...Huff. Hufff... I... Huff. Huff... Wanted...Huff. Huff... To... Huff.Huff...
_ Umm... Take your time and breath. No need to rush things.
Seriously! He's really annoying!
Well this is London, his name may seem strange, I mean it IS strange. But it's only because of his parents, well as he told me he says that his parents named him after the city where they met... Ah,couples these days no naming sense, seriously.sooo bizzare...
Well he's not that of a bad guy but he's annoying. And it's not because of something but you see when I first came to this school I was bullied a lot because of many reasons, I guess, even though I ignored it and I couldn't care less . Well with each time passing each of those bullies started,umm...distancing, yes. they started distancing themselves from me, said in another way they were running away from me. they all fled eyes full of fear, it was quite the benefits for me. But, nothing is perfect as well as peace. While I wished to be alone he was always with me like, "Let's eat together Lise!", "Look Lise! What about we try some together!","Lise!", "Lise?", "Lise...". Always, he always stuck to me, smiling and full of joy not like the others. I wished only to be alone, so that's why I found him annoying and peace disturbing.
Well, now back to where we were.
"Sooo... You wanted to say? ", I said awkwardly trying to barely maintain a proper smile on my face. Of course only after knowing he won't start panting and choking out.
A childs smile embroidered his face as he he started talking, "Lise, you see the teacher told us to split up in groups so that each would take on a task. He also told us to finish before sun set. I already told him that you and me we'll be a group. And also, we were given the task of gathering wood for the fire . I also have some snacks with me so that when we finish we would have a picnic together. So, let's go! Fast! Let's go! "
And... He's gone. It's like he knows me too well , seriously. I guess I have no other choices than to follow him.
After some time of work...
He's still too calm, he's being so strange. It's truly strange and kind of awkward. Usually he would babble non-stop. Aghhh! Well you know what whatever, it's for better good.
" So Lise, what are you planning to do next year, after graduation i mean? ", he said breaking in the middle of the loud silence that made out quite of a thick barrier.
_ ... Well I... I don't know. Maybe a doctor or something. Better if it's a job with a good salary.
_ ...
_ ... Well I finished work here. I'll get going.
_ Oh, wait! Just a bit... And here we go! Seriously you've got a golden fish's memory or what?
_ Huh!? What do you mean by that?!
_ Nothing. Just it seems you don't remember what I told you moments ago. Well now time for some picnic! It's going yo be fun really! Just look forward to it! But before that, what about this ; let' s do a challenge !
I guess i was worried about nothing, he's still as normal as usual.
_ Well then let us hear what you've got.
_ Well you see there Lise. That lil moutain there. Let's do a climbing race and the one who wins gets a wish from the looser. What do you think?
_ Nice. But do you think you have chance against me? It seems you forgot.
_ Well, of course I didn't. But don't underestimate me. I already tried climbing when I was little and who knows I might be the winner. And even if I loose, I would have won a picnic on mountain where lies a magnificent view. Don't you think so?
_ Alright mister the pro-climber let's start this race.
_ Let's go! And by the way I never said i was a pro.
Well, we did as we said.
I think he's regretting it already. This is fun in countrary of what I imagined. I guess this camping trip will be a truly amazing and fun experience, and one like none of the other ones.
But now look at him so sweaty, tiredness fills his gaze. Should I help him a bit?
With quite a proud smirk a told him, "Do you want some help lil one? It seems that someone's going to loose."
He replied couldn't barely lift his head, "Haa...Haa... I'm...i'm alright. - WOAA!-w .. See i'm very capable."
He stood trembling, making up a somewhat courage by lifting his chest, like nothing happened. Hmff.
And so i turned back, and continued my way climbing and thinking about what my wish would be. Well I' m really close to finish.
_ Aaannd... FINISH!!
_ Ah seriously this is-huh?... Wait! Lise!!
_ Huh? Why does he have that look on his face?
What's this? I feel like body is really light. This is...! A hole!? In the middle of a mountain!? That's absurd...!
Is this the end?
It was only the first day of our camping trip.
Well, at least I got to die seeing such beautiful golden sight. How ironic.
