Chapter 3 - In The Middle Of Climbing The Mountain

-=+ 3 +=-

Early morning, the sun was peeking, nice breeze of wind not to strong and not to soft, and hearing some chicken greeting the morning made the best day for Milan however, the guy who hates morning have to be up 4 o clock and have to listen to Milan rambled about how exciting she was on this trip as well panicking if they all have the things they needed.

Thinking how he have to spend his 3 days with an annoying ghost and a bothersome so-called best friend send shivered all over his body. He regretted taking in the pain in the ass, ghost. 

Vincent yawned as he stares at the road waiting for the bus to come. Sooner and later the students have gathered and waited patiently for the bus, by the time they came Vincent was already asleep while standing. Milan is totally excited for her very first trip as a ghost. She did experience having camping but it's on indoor and probably the most fun for Milan when she was a kid. 

The bus came and woke up the sleepless Vincent. He went in and sat at the far corner at the back of the bus. Milan followed him and also Vincent team, which mean Milo and the others. He glares at them with disgust, in his mind he already cussing them for letting him experience normal human beings do, he considers himself like some alien who couldn't understand why he was born as a human, he rather be a demon, that seems fun for him.

Milo waved at him but he was absolutely ignored. The whole trip, Vincent just slept laying his head on the window, he cut of any connection that he's going to join this fun while Milan couldn't careless, she was enjoying it. 

After two hour of road trip, the time is 10 o clock am, they finally arrived their destination. All the students walk off the bus, one by one except the sleepyhead Vincent. Milo and the others tried to wake him up yet there was a hesitation, he is not only known as the weirdo but also the most 'scariest' or 'monster' in the entire school. In his 1st year of a high schooler (7th grader), he was sleeping at someone desk, the person finds out and tried to wake up Vincent in a rough way, kicking the table and also rocking his chair as he swears at Vincent.

Milo and the other students saw what he was doing yet they were afraid to warned him about the monster. As they guess, Vincent woke up, irritated, he faced was frowning, as he got up, he saw the guy who interrupted his sleep. 

"Hey, buddy." He raised his head "What are you doing in my sit? Who gave you the permission to sit there, huh?!"

He was completely picking a fight however he doesn't know he was picking a wrong fight. Vincent fixed his gaze and knit his brow but he didn't say anything. The other guy didn't like the attitude Vincent was showing, in his experience, no one ever tried to pick a fight to a boss of gangsters especially a normal student like Vincent, he showed off his skills, he punched the table beside his desk and the table was crushed down to two part. He arrogance grow stronger.

"See this?" He pointed at the desk he destroyed "This is what happened to you if you don't speak"

In spite his effort, Vincent wasn't even swayed by his strength he just continued to stare at him. He sighed and stood up, the whole class flinched while the guy who, let's just call him Arro confused with their reaction. Vincent came closer to Arro, he was 7 cm taller than Arro so he looked down on him.

Arro looked pissed off and pushed him off. One of the top lists of most hates thing in the world was pushing him. Vincent who couldn't contain his anger smashed to bits Arro's desk, with just one punched he obliterate the desk as well the floor got damaged. 

Arro eyes widen as he saw his desk couldn't fix anymore and the floor was shattered like some glass, he trembled in fear. He saw Vincent launched another punch to Arro, he flew across the room and landed him on the window which was damaged on the recoil. Since that day nobody dared to wake him up or bully him, the only one who do that are either dumb or a masochist. 

Back on the present, they are now in the situation of whether leave him or wake him up. The whole class came back to the bus to see the drama and how it goes. No one haven't tried awakening him. Milan tilted her head; she is puzzled by how they all act. They treat Vincent like some rare animal she shrugged it off and tried to wake Vincent up. She shakes him, slap, poke him yet he won't wake up.

'how long is he going to sleep? Arghh'

She started to think, what ways to wake a loner guy up? Annoy him? No, he's asleep how would he hear it. Blast sounds on his hear? Yikes, I don't want to disappear yet. How about the top list? I think that will do the least damaged. 

So, she tried, she whispered on his ear the top 10 on his list. His eyebrow started to wince and when Milan reached the number one, Vincent's eyes opened up. Everyone was startled, the sleeping monster have been awakened. They observed his awaken yet he didn't destroy anything, they sighed in relief and went off the bus. Although it looks that way, they didn't know that Milan will face the consequence of waking him up but that's for another time.

**

Two whole hours. They spend two hours climbing the mountain since the camping is at the top. This couldn't even get better for Vincent, he has to walk and climb a mountain, on the top of that their adviser suggest a teamwork competition and made all the team stuck with a rope tied at their waist. Ms. Evan made it into Vincent top list. The way it goes, at the top is Milo, second is Vincent, third is Milo's friend and the last member is Milo's friend 2. 

Vincent has been stuck with Milo since they were grade schooler. He doesn't remember how Milo been following him like some dog but he thought why Milo started talking to him, it was because he was the only kid who doesn't have friend, in the mindset of Milo 'If I became friends with Vincent, I'll be his best friend' and that is how he became the most hates guy.

Milan who have been this journey from the starts still excited, she can see the trees, birds and trees again. Milan feels alive, she didn't do anything exhausting since she can fly, Vincent felt jealous over it. He groaned as he took step one by one, he was forming sweat even though Milo is actually the one who carries him. The other member were girls so they chattered as they climbed, complaining how it's hot, they didn't put sunscreen on, how the guys wont escort them and being team with weirdo. It was annoying, literally a.n.n.o.y.i.n.g. They were also been put on Vincent list.

When they are at the half way to the top, Milo saw a girl trying to get her handkerchief on a branch in a stiff cliff, the ground wasn't stable and it was very risk cause once she fell, she dead from this height. Milo was surprised and attempted calling her out yet she won't stop reaching her handkerchief, the other members saw and gasped, they took a photo and send to the class what about to happened.

Vincent saw the situation, as always, he wasn't interested. The girl almost reached it until suddenly, the ground fell apart leading her to fall however with her last strength she grabbed the branch also the handkerchief and had a bit of minute to come back up but it was hard as fear took her in. Milan shocked in horror; it reminds her what happened to her father. 

She pulled Vincent shirt and gaze at him with tears "Help her!"

Vincent scowled "Why should I?"

"Please help her! I'll do anything so please" she was shaking, to the point even her voice as well and her tears won't stop overflowing.

Vincent recalled how he also hate tears, but it was not enough to be at top 10. He sighed "Okay, fine, just stop crying".

As promised, Vincent rushed to her and immediately catch her hand as she about to fall. Her tears started falling, she shook her head and saying she doesn't want to die yet, however, his power is beginning to weaken while her hand slip little in little, what can a loner do by himself? He struggled alone trying to pull her back.

Milo was there, watching as it goes. He was foremost scared and by now he realized he can't do anything by himself. The girls who glared at Milo 'What is he doing? Why isn't he helping?' They pushed his back to bring him back to the reality.

"MILO? HELLO? DUDE HELP THEM!" They both shouted as they point out Vincent and the girl.

Milo saw the situation now carefully, he hurriedly back up Vincent and work as a team to pulled her back. Even how much Vincent hate teamwork, he didn't hate this at least.
