Trip time!!!
Yes, that's what had everyone excited. There was only a week left. The five of us gave our names as expected and payed the amount without a due. Nice. But we something that we hadn't been expecting, was awaiting us.

"I can't wait! I can't wait! I can't wait to breathe and bathe!" Megha was humming all along.
"You've been humming this from a week Megha... can you stop?" Sebastian asked, literally pleading.
But it seemed like Megha was in her own world, because she never stopped humming.
"Guess she didn't hear it." I said.
"Yeah. What a drag!" Ashok joined in.
One week passed in a jiffy.
Trip day. Everyone assembled at the grounds. We departed on time. The real shock was when we saw Megha with some other guy. She was sitting super close to him, and they were holding hands. Plus, we hadn't seen Maya in the week we had been waiting for the trip.

"You look cute." With that compliment I set out find seats for the both of us. She took the clue and came and sat next to me. Short drive, and we arrived our destination in five hours. Tropical forests. Camping trip. Exciting adventures. I could hardly control my adrenaline. All the way to the destination, Maya slept on my shoulder. I grew to like her hanging on to me, that it started feeling weird if she wasn't around me.

We all got down the bus and waited for Megha and her new found boyfriend to come down too. But it seems they had already gone onto the forest. By the time we found them, they had already set up their tent and we enjoying the sounds of nature.

"I wish I could do the same." Maya prodded me.
"Are you complaining?" I asked her.
She tried to leave me because of the question, but I caught her hand, pulled her towards me. We were so close. It could have well been a kiss. But we knew it wasnt the time. So none of us took the lead.
Recovering, we set out to put a tent of our...
