"Hi."
Michael turned around when he felt someone sitting beside him. When he saw that it was Selina, he smiled lightly and greeted back.
"Hi."
"Why are you sitting here alone? Don't you want to join in the fun? We're singing and playing games," Selina asked him.
"I'm bored of the card games."
"But it feels like you're being left out."
"I prefer to be left out."
Selina was surprised to hear that, but she smiled helplessly and said.
"Okay, but if you need anything, you can tell me and you're welcome to join anytime. I aslo wanted to thank you for last night. I had fun."
"Same for me, so no need to say thank you."
"Alright. I'm going now. Bye."
"Bye."
Michael took out his camera as they were about to reach their destination soon. He liked to take candid photos of nature or people.
They went around in a group. Everyone was hungry, so they overlooked the shops and went to food stalls first.
Soon after, they arrived at the street food center. Connected to the street food was street shopping, and they planned to shop today since from tomorrow they would be busy all day.
While walking, Michael took a few photos of the street and people walking on it. He also took a back photo of his classmates walking. Selina saw him taking photos and an inexplicable gaze swept up in her eyes.
They had different types of food and after tasting almost all of the street food, they stopped.
They had overeaten and felt their stomachs would burst, so they walked around the shopping center. Everyone bought things according to their choice and stopped after evening came. They went back to the hotel and changed into club dressing.
Michael didn't change, and a few others who didn't feel the need to or wanted to also didn't change. They had dinner at an Italian restaurant before going to the club.
Almost everyone went onto the dance floor and had fun, but Michael didn't dance. Instead he played games and other stuff. Later, he sat at the table with a mocktail, a virgin mojito.
Once in a while, a few would come to rest or get a drink. Selina came and sat beside him. She ordered a drink and looked at his drink.
"You don't drink alcohol?" She was surprised.
"No."
"That's surprising. Almost everyone drinks nowadays. So you don't like to drink or just don't drink?"
"I've never drunk it and I don't like it either."
"How would you know if you never tried?" She asked curiously.
"I don't like the smell. Most of all, I hate losing control over myself."
"Then... Do you also hate those around you who get drinks alcohol?"
"I don't like it, but I don't hate them. I know its normal for everyone."
"That's interesting." She smiled thoughtfully. Then her friends called her and she went back.
They left the club and reached the hotel at midnight.
They planned to visit the amusement park the next day. The day after that, they would go to the snowpark and have fun there. Then they can shop and do other things.
On the last day, they would visit a museum and an old famous castle. After that, they would board the train and reach home early in the morning.
