I woke up. Realized it's a Saturday morning. I have a lot of things to do, Tomorrow is the day of the play. We have to do rehearsal. Even if I complete the rehearsal, there's something else going on my mind. I mean a lot of things. Whenever I feel like this, I do try doing gratitude journaling. So let's do it.
I took my journal and wrote.
🖋
Things that are bothering me.
1. Why did our school trip got cancelled?
2. What were that poem we found at paws house?
3. Who locked me and mike on that haunted house?
4. What's exactly been going on with paws?
🖋
That's all, now I have to solve these. Before that I have to go to the theater.
I got up, get dressed and went to the canteen to have breakfast. There I met mike.
"Hey, mike" I called out.
"Emma!"
"Have you got your food?" I asked him.
"Yeah, look. I got a cereal bowl and a smoothie. Have you grabbed any?"
"No, I was going to" I replied
"Then go get it, we can eat together. Look, that table is free"
"Sure, we can have together. I will go get my cereal" I said and got them.
I was so depressed inside, but I didn't know I was looking depressed until mike asked
"Are you okay?"
"All good, what made you ask"
"You seem distracted? No depressed or frustrated?"
"Am good mike" I said to him with a little smile
"If there's anything, you can talk to me. If you want" he said and I realized I am not 100% alone. I have mike. Who's being so nice to me.
"Fine, I have a problem"
"Oh, what problem?"
"Not one problem but four problems"
"Holy cow, what are they?" he asked and I told him all about the problems.
"I can relate with the first problem. My school tour has also been cancelled rapidly and they send us here instead" he said.
"Oh"
"The second problem doesn't seem big, what if it's written by your friend paws's parents or parent's friends?"
"No, that song was written by a person called drew. We asked her parents but they don't know a drew"
"oh. But that poem was found from your friend's house. So why're you worrying?"
"Right! Why would I worry" I said.
"The third problem. It's a very big because yeah, who locked us in?"
"Yeah, who locked?" I replied.
"I can't do anything with the fourth problem, to get it solved you should talk to paws"
"Not in this lifetime. I mean you heard what all she said yesterday. I am not entirely prepared for an apologizing? Or maybe forgiving!"
"Whenever you are ready"
"uhm. Should we get to the theater? I finished eating"
"me too, let's go"
We both walked to the theater…
"Okay, everybody ready?" I asked. Me and mike are sitting in a bench right in front of the stage. The theater is very small. We can adjust no prob.
"And scene 2. Action" I said.
"Kids" Before my cast could start somebody called out and there is our counsellor
"Georgia?" I said.
"who is she?" mike asked.
"she's a counsellor, we met her the day we came"
"we?"
"Me, Ellie and paws"
"right, sorry"
"The theater has to be closed" Georgia said.
"What? But we haven't even started the rehearsal and tomorrow is play" I said.
"Tomorrow, there will not be play" she said
"What, why?" mike asked.
"listen to me. Our camp's founder drew Charlie Michael is dead. So the camp will be closed and your vehicles will arrive soon. Go get ready to go back home" she said and leaved, so do the cast and crew. Except for me and mike.
"Drew! Will this drew be that drew. I mean will that drew be this drew" Mike asked.
"I don't know; this is really bad"
"Take it easy, anyway it was a pleasure meeting you Emma. You were a very good friend and you will be. "mike said
"You too… I will text you someday" I replied. We smiled at each other and said bye and went to our rooms.
I packed everything and went to sit in my bus. Thinking I will be alone when I reach home, no Ellie, No paws. But it's okay as long as I haven't done anything. The bus started and I closed my eyes, forgetting everything. I slept in the bus, dreamingggg…
Suddenly I opened my eyes widely when I heard a song. One of our counsellor is singing it.
🎶 I never realized how good I am actually is…. Even in the--
"Where did you get this from?" I interrupted the counsellor.
"Well, as all of you know. Our founder drew have died. Such a terrible news! I know. She was the best person I have ever seen in my life. So kind. She wrote this song"
My eyes were widely opened. The exact expression of astonished was in my face. I turned to the back to look what Ellie and paws were doing. Same. They were looking at me with the 'astonished' face.
The counsellor continued singing. I ran to the back seat where paws and Ellie were sitting
And I said to them "Am sorry if I am the one who did wrong, but we have to find this. How did Drew's song come into your car shed?"
"Am the one who did wrong and am sorry and I don't know how it came" Paws said and we three smiled knowing that our friendship is totally back on track.
"One sec" I told the girls and sat straight and took my phone and texted mike that he was right! That drew is this drew!!
"What do we do now?" Ellie asked
"I don't know, maybe this can be nothing but maybe this can be something. Like the song drew wrote and sang to only her closed ones, it came to paws car shed and that too wrote in a paper. "I said
"yeah, can be nothing or can be something, if it is something, it will be" Ellie said and we said all together "something big".
