The next day, we went camping at the Blue Fantasy Forest. This place was famous by all people when they went camping together. It is also a suitable place for camping gatherings. The journey to this forest takes only two hours and the entrance takes one hour. So, the total we have to take to enter this forest is around three hours.
Even though this place is a little too far, it is worth it because the environment inside the forest when a night was really beautiful. They have provided a blue light in each way and along the way, we will enjoy the atmosphere of that night like we are in a fantasy world.
*****
That morning, we gathered in front of our campus gateway. Before starting our journey, we have a talk section from our senior facilities. They just talk briefly to us about what will be doing and other activities that we will gonna do during the camp.
At that time, my eyes kept looking for someone. I look around and I found him. Yes, Him! I saw Brent was still busy talking with Senior Grey. I secretly watched him from afar. He looks so fascinating with that black t-shirt, long black pants, and white cap on his eyes.
While Lilian was busy keeping her eyes on Brent, actually...there was someone too that keep their eyes on Lilian. That, someone, was looking at Lilian with a dissatisfied look and jealousy.
Then, after the talk session was ended, Darren takes over to give the additional announcement. He will be in charge of their activities during their camp later. When his talk going to end, suddenly he called out to someone in front there.
''Hey, Clap girl!'' He said out loud. He was looking directly at Lilian. All the students there were curious about who is the one he was called out. They keep looking around.
''Hey, Lilian Casey! Yes, you. I hope you will not do anything funny during our camp. Anyway, it's cute!'' Darren said bravely and he chuckled after that.
After hearing Darren's sudden announcement, all the students there shout happily.
They started teasing Lilian with Darren there as a campus couple. Lilian was speechless. She didn't expect that Darren will be saying something like that. She stood stiffly there and tried to cover her face from embarrassment.
Darren proudly shows his big smile to his other friend. Both Grey and Stefan were laughing at his action but not Brent. He just standing there and smirking. Riana who is standing beside Brent notices that. She can feel that Brent was not satisfied with what Darren doing just now.
Lilian immediately saw Brent's reaction after what happened just now. She feels a little upset because Brent doesn't show anything reaction. As usual, he just gives his calm face and didn't show any sign.
''Lilian! Wow...you are interesting! Our student council has interested in you. He looks like he gives a compliment to you. Or...is that his sudden confession?!'' Lexi said joyously.
''Lexi, Shh...don't talk nonsense!''
''It looks like most of our student council is interested in you. You so lucky Lily!''
''What do you mean? I-I...!''
''You want to know something?''
''What?''
''Senior Grey interested in you too!''
''What??! Lexi, please don't make any wrong assumptions. It's not funny!''
''Lily, I'm said the truth. He said that to me before. I mean we have talked before. But...don't worry friend. I know who the one you like...''
''Lexi...!''
''It's him right? The person who is wearing the white cap!''
''Lexi! Shh...!''
''O-kay...okay! I'm shut my mouth.'' Lexi chuckling.
Lilian makes a deep sigh and replies in an upset voice, ''I don't think...he will like me too. He just standing there without any expression when Senior Darren spoke in front there.''
''Lilian, don't give up, and don't worry! I'm Lexi Harley promise to help my friend, Lilian Casey to get together with her love!''
''Lexi, stop it. Your face is so funny.'' Both of them burst into laughter.

After a few hours, they arrived at the Blue Fantasy Forest. They arrived there by bus and the other senior was using their cars. As soon as they arrived at that place, they are divided into two groups whether they want to walk inside or use a car.
But most students choose to ride in the car because some are tired and some do not dare to walk. When none of them chooses to walk, suddenly Lilian lifts her hands and says that she wants to walk.
After seeing Lilian bravely want to walk, her friends Lexi and Andrew follow her too. Then, a few students choose to walk too after seeing Lilian and her friends daringly choose for walking.
Brent just smirked after seeing her choosing to walk. After that, Darren and Grey will drive the car and bring the other with them to go to their main place. Meanwhile, Brent and Stefan will be leading the way for the other students who choose to walk out.
''I love too!'' Riana said suddenly.
''You?! Are you sure, Riana?'' Stefan asks with shock. He knows that Riana wasn't someone who liked the adventurous thing like this. She is someone like a princess girl.
''Yeah. I'm very sure. I want to have that experience too!'' She said it while secretly looking at Brent and she asks for Brent's help.
Lilian noticed their exchange look. Her heart becomes more dispirited. She knows that was something between them. She looks away and didn't want to see the suspicious behaviour that make them look like a couple.
Lexi holds Lilian's hands and tries to calm her down. She knows how Lilian feels right now.
''Senior, can we start our walk right now?'' Lexi suddenly barges into their conversation.
''Oh yeah, sure. Let us go.'' Stefan replied.
''Wait, one more thing. Please don't walk alone. Just walk within the groups.'' Brent said then take a glance at Lilian. But she ignores him. At that time, Lilian feels a little disappointed.
''Senior, can we take a few pictures here?'' One of the students asked.
''Yeah, sure can.'' After Brent gives their permission, they feel excited.
Along the way, they were enjoying the view. The trail they walkthrough was a little challenging but they can manage to walk smoothly. Stefan and Riana were talking together and the other students also follow them behind. They were happily walking and talking with each other.
Like always, Lexi and Andrew will be bickering along the time. Whoever watches them together, will wonder how they can be friends.
Meanwhile, Lilian was busy taking pictures around her. She didn't realize that she was a little left behind and luckily Brent was the only one who keeps his eyes on her. He watches her from the back and he secretly smiles when he sees her reaction amazed by what she looking at.
All of sudden, Lilian carelessly stepped on the stone while walking. She didn't see the stone and her leg almost sprained. When she almost fell, Brent manages to save her and he instantly grabs her waist tightly.
''Watch out!'' Brent said while still holding her waist tightly.
''Ah!'' She quickly holds his arms and hugs him tightly.
''Please, watch carefully for your step,'' Brent said again in worry.
''Err-uh...O-okay...thank you.'' Lilian was startled. Her heart started pounding again. This time, they were close. She can smell his fragrance closely. They stared at each other for a while.
At that moment, Lilian feels like a dream. She didn't believe what happened right now and suddenly she pinches his cheeks.
''What are you doing?''
''I want to know if this is a dream or not. Did you feel hurt?''
''Yes.''
''But, why you didn't show any expression?''
''What expression?''
''Your facial expression is still the same. You didn't show to me that you feel hurt.''
''How do I want to show it?''
''Huh?'' Lilian was speechless when he replied like that.
''Can you walk by yourself? Or...did you want me to piggyback you?'' He suddenly whispered.
''What??'' She was shocked. ''Err...no! I can walk. My leg is still fine.''
''Okay.'' He let go of his hand around her waist and they continue the walk. After the incident earlier, Brent take out his rope in the bag and tied the rope to her hands and at his hands.
''Why do you do this? I can walk by myself. How do I want to take pictures?'' Lilian asks in a puzzle.
''After what happened just now, I don't want you to lose after this.''
She chuckles. ''No, I'm not. I...''
''You're my responsibility. I need to take care of you.''
''But I...''
''Just walk...''
Lilian feels a little annoying with that but at the same time, she feels happy. At least, she can see him beside her and he was close next to her. She smiled along the way and her hands secretly holding the hem of his shirt.
Brent can feel that and he also smiling inside his heart but his face still shows calmness. They didn't talk but...both their heart was talking with each other.
After an hour, they arrived at their camping base. After arriving, they divide a few groups to do some work. Once the division of tasks is complete, they start moving and start their work. They need to prepare their base before they started their orientation activities.
The work that Lilian in was in the cooking team. She was on that team because she knows how to cook. Looking at which group is Lilian, Brent feels curious about her cooking skills. He didn't expect that she knows to cook.
From afar, Brent secretly watching what Lilian doing. Then, suddenly...he saw Darren come to the cooking team place and he was standing next to Lilian. He knows that Darren tried to take Lilian's attention toward him.
He just stares at them with sharp eyes. He thought for a while, he wonders why his heart feels pain when he saw Lilian give attention to another guy. Suddenly, someone was looking at Lilian secretly.
Brent accidentally can feel something wrong with one of the students near Lilian. He observes that student from afar and her behaviour was a little strange. At the same time too, he suddenly got a secret signal at his watch.
After receiving the signal, he left that place immediately.
On the other side, Lilian was busy doing her things. For a moment, she forgot about Brent and focus on her job. Later, they need water, and their water stock is only a little left. She volunteers to go to the opposite place to take the water from there.
Without wasting time, she went there alone and bring some bottles with her. When she walks, she suddenly saw a little light not far from there. She curious and headed toward there to see what is that.
She slowly walks toward the light and when she came closer, suddenly the light shoot into her body and she immediately collapses there.
