Their rooms were allocated on the third floor and the height was not so high yet for a non-climber. That height would scare them to death. However, these girls loved to do extreme sports. They had a soft corner for adventurous sports and games. The thrill and exhilaration made it difficult for them to dislike such sports.
They tried most of the extreme sports yet their bucket list still had some uncrossed ones.
Disregarding their experience and expertise, the girls began to act as if it was their first time. They would have screamed if not for their situation demands.
They can't make noise as it would alert the guards and they will tell the Head Lady. And they couldn't let this happen. It would be a huge blow-up for their plans.
So even though they wanted to shriek merely for fun. They clamped their mouth shut and like a monkey, they easily ascended down. Everything was going good until Ines had to climb. The girls got scared as they had only seen her falling downwards whenever she tried to slide through a rope.
"Ines, Don't worry. We got your back."
"Do one thing. You should rather fall from there and we will catch you here", Livia got two smacks on her head from Serene and Diana with an odd and unbelievable look from Aza.
"What the F*** Livia! Shut your mouth and seal your lips before I sew them up." Annoyance dripping in her words.
Aza stared at Livia in utter jester. She had to pinch her arms to prevent her giggles when she saw how Ines had sworn at Livia for her foolish ideas.
She mouthed to Ines, 'Won't listen to her advice and fall on the ground. But let me remind you, I won't catch you in my arms. I will lose them if I hold you.'
Inwardly, she failed to realise how she had forgotten about her dreadful dream of last night all because of them, her friends, who held a position higher than sisters. They had never treated her like a baby and protected her. Instead, they pushed her towards challenges that helped to strengthen her.
Mentally, physically and spiritually.
Aza crossed arms and leaned on the trunk of the big mango tree.
'Is it a mango tree?' She was not sure of herself.
She took the role of a silent observer and enjoyed the chaotic show represented to them. Her friends were the ones to portray the main characters of the show. Certainly, the girls never thought that

Aza was merely enjoying the drama showcased to her by her friends.
"Ines!! Remember you have me!! I won't let you have a scratch. This is my promise."
Ines rolled her eyes at Livia's words. She saw the playfulness concealed in her eyes. Her continuously twitching mouth gave away her facade.
"Say one more word and I swear when I am done here. You will regret it." Ines said.
Livia's bravery flew out of her. She let out an awkward laugh and stepped back.
Serene and Diana chuckled at the turn of the events in just countable minutes.
"You deserve that." Diana cracked up in amusement.
Serene finds it difficult to deafen the sound of Diana's laugh, "Right, she should know better not to tease our mama hen."
In the end, she had to cover her mouth with her hands yet still Diana was a laughing mess.
Aza glanced at them and furrowed her eyebrows, "Tell her to pinch Dia on her waistline. She will stop immediately."
Since both Serene and Diana stood near to the rope end and quite away from Aza's position. Therefore, they didn't hear her due to the distance but Livia did.
And Aza had said those sentences to Livia so that she could pass them on to Serene.
Livia did what Aza expected, however, the after results were not something she took the liberty of fussing over.
Ines had started to glide and she was in the midway, she heard a tiny low scream. This worried her and she almost lost her balance.
Tumbling directly to the ground. The grass
layered perfectly on it would have made a good landing yet the force of gravity would make things harder like always.
It was Ines's capability and not sheer luck that she took back the control and stabilized her footing.
"God! I want to kill them."
She couldn't wait for the moment she reached and whacked the girl's head.
"Why the he**! Did you just bite my hand?" Serene glared at Diana. Her murderous glares didn't frighten her. Instead, she offered her injured friend a sheepish smile.
Serene scoffed, "Not even an apology? Wooow…"
"Serene, we had one rule that we won't thank or say sorry for minuscule mistakes. You forgot about it?" Diana innocently leaned her head to another side. Serene could feel Diana's provocation and it agitated her.
Meanwhile, Ines had glided lower from their balcony to the ground floor yet the two bickering girls didn't notice her presence until they felt a sudden whack on their backhead accompanied by a flick of the forehead.
Both Serene and Diana kept squabbling with their backs to the balcony side. This gave easy access to Ines. She took noiseless steps and smacked them.
Not liking the unforeseen hit on their heads nor the disturbance caused to them during their fight. They swiftly rotated to beat the person who had the guts to use their hands on them.
What greeted them made the girls freeze in realisation. They gulped their saliva.
"Hehehe...Ines! You arrived. I missed you so much."
'Why am I friends with these peeps when it is obvious that they are denser than those circus jokers? Even those jokers know that people only come to a circus to see them making a complete fool out of themselves by their hands.'
Aza compared her friends to the circus jokers and her comparison showed how her friends were even worse than them.
She decided to go there and stop before they aggravate Ines than she already was.
"You can beat them later but for now we need to hurry." Aza's statement turned their behaviour to 180 degrees.
Their faces looked more serious and their stances meant only business.
The four of them nodded at Aza as they chose to express their agreement with her through their expression rather than in words.
