Chapter 40 - Chapter 39

"No!" Toono cries out. He slams the hammer into the ground once more, but he seems worn out. His whole figure is drenched in sweat, but the rest of us are about the same in this heat. He's trying to get the stakes in the ground. I come over and try to help, but this one isn't going in. It's too big. Getting this tent up has been a nightmare all around though. I guess when a bunch of rich kids get together to go camping they learn they've all been too pampered to do anything.

"Careful, (y/n)." Shikatani tells me as he passes by. "If you get hurt you'll get sent back to the dorms. Last year Tamura hit his pinky and it was swollen all week." I nod, though I admit an AC sounds nice. Shikatani sits by Toono. "What a pity Kashima isn't in our group."

Toono has to play along, "Yeah.. hah hah what a shame.." Man, he's awful at this lying stuff.

"Don't have sex outside or you'll get attacked by bugs."

He nods, "We won't." Now, I'm sure he's thinking that that won't be a problem.

He looks away awkwardly, and I intervene. "Why is it a shame? Doesn't that mean we can have some fun? Kashima-kun doesn't need to know." I smirk at Itsuki.

"Meh, Toono's not really my type anyway. I'd rather do it with Kashima if anything." Shikatani adds, he's completely serious.

Once our senpai leaves, Toono sets the hammer down and lets out a long held back sigh. "Shikatani-senpai is the worst.." he whines, but he turns behind him only to find Itome there. He lets out a shriek as I burst into laughter. I had been meaning to say something just didn't want to spoil the fun. Unfortunately though, Itome is also caught off-guard and panics.

Itome holds his hand out to me, I wish I understood he had been waiting for us to give him a shot. He's just so quiet and reserved. I hand him the hammer, watching carefully as he raises it. He yanks it up and slams it into the ground roughly. Immediately he misses. The steak even comes out of the ground from what little progress we made. "It came out.." Toono mutters. Itome blushes out of embarrassment but reminds me of the sexual nature of Toono's words causing me to snicker.

"It's okay, Itome-san. It cums out sometimes." I pat his shoulder gently.

"What's going on? What's so funny?" Itsuki asks, coming over to see what I'm laughing about. He's even more curious as he sees the blush on Itome's face.

"It's nothing!" I shout, smiling up at him.

"Tell me! You were laughing, weren't you?" He starts to chase me around, and I chuckle. 'He can't catch up to me lol.'

"It wasn't anything. Just don't say anything dirty!" Toono shouts, backing me up. He won't let Shikatani-senpai know what he said.

But even he soon sees the steak out of ground, "Shit! Penises! It came out!"

"Um.. how's everything over here?" Yacchan asks awkwardly. "I just finished my part."

Everyone is really grateful. "At least something goes right today," I chuckle.

"Aw, it was nothing: super easy even." He smiles that killer smile of his. He eyes the stake, "Oh let me." Somehow he manages to get it in on the first shot. (Pfft..)

Itsuki has an annoyed look on his face as he watches. I nudged his shoulder a little, "Our little neko getting outshined?"

He sticks his lips out, "It's not like that."

"Now let's get the tent up!" Yacchan pumps his fist in the air, helping to motivate all of us. We probably would have been lost without him. He was the only athletic one out of us after all.
