In the library, there are not many students and there are many empty table near the window. She sit at one of the table and start doing the revision alone. Even from afar she looks lonely, actually that is what she need. Alone. Peaceful. Quite. The focus that hard to get from other place other than her room.
Ten minutes before the school bell ring indicates that class will starts, Camellia walk to her classroom to pick up some stationery needed for the next class at the same time wait for Jessica from her meal. The next subject is art that will held in an art room in the next building. The students need to walk for some time to reach there.
For the art subject, the students were ask to make a painting of a scenery in a mountain only based on their imagination and creativity. To fulfil the theme of a mountain scenery really make Camellia and Jessica excited. They live near the mountain in the town so they can use it as an example.
Jessica decide to sketch a scenery during day with all the green trees and flying birds. The sketch during spring time where the sun looks just perfect at the right angle showing evening sun.
While Camellia have a different idea and visual in her mind. She decided to make a night scenery with full moon up in the sky, a dark forest of night time, several flying bat or birds in the night sky and there was a girl at the end of the cliff. At the back of the girl behind a huge bush at the corner of the paper was a creature. A creature that almost looks like a wolf. A wolf bigger than the little girl.
She put all her focus on the painting without giving any care of other. She hold the brush and make a careful stroke to make the outline of the drawing. She want to finish the painting before the end of the class. She really want to have the perfect painting as soon as possible. With the beautiful scenery she received a lot of compliment from the art teacher and other classmates. But never from Riana. Her meaningless opinion doesn't need in Camellia's life and she never care.
The teacher ask for Camellia's permission to put her work on the wall of the art room. And of course Jessica force her to agree, to show off her 'perfect' bestfriend to Riana. With double meaning, Riana will never get to the same level as Camellia in be it in studies and appearance. Physically or mentally. Humph.
"Girl… you're good with your hands except cook. Hahaha…" whisper Jessica near Camellia ear and the chuckle to herself when she saw the bright red face of her friend.
After the art subject, all the students have to walk back to the classroom. They have another subject before the end of the school session. It is science class. They have to learn about the theory for the next day experiment in the chemical lab.
The theory for the experiment is really interesting. They learn about a few different types of mixture and how to handle them. Some of the might cause injuries if not handle with care. There were also some liquid that might explode if they mix with the wrong way. The teacher keep telling and remind the students to be careful and make sure they make the revision at home for the experiment.

On their way back home, Camellia come across with the pharmacist in the town.
"Oh, Camellia. It's good to encounter you here. Are you guys already back from school?"
"Yeah, we're. And it's good to see you too Mr Rowan." Reply the both at the same time.
They talk some more after Camellia promise the pharmacist that she will come later of the day to send all the fresh and dried medical herbs she found on the mountain. And send the herbs to town pharmacist. He said it is good to have someone that know the mountain trails and understand the fine herbs. It make his job became easier with her help.
"Wow… another compliment for the day. Just for our lovely and smarty pants Camellia. The girl who know no limits." Said Jessica sarcastically.
"Stop it Jess. I don't want hear that sarcastic remarks from you. It's annoying, you know?"
"But it's the truth. First from the art teacher then the pharmacist. I wonder, who will be next"
"No one. Shut up, Jess. Urghhh…"
Jessica just sticking her tongue out and giggle to herself when she heard that her friend already mad. Even though she always tease here and there, they never get mad each other for long. Jessica really know how to make other lose their cool. She never miss her chance to do so especially toward Camellia. She will only stop when Camellia ask her to shut up. It means that is the limit.
Both of them then walk home in silent finding their own peaceful. When they arrive in front of Jessica's house, they bids goodbye to each other and Jessica make Camellia promised to come as soon as possible so that they can have lunch together. Jessica then skipping into her house and Camellia just take a fast stride to her house.
As soon as Camellia reach her home, she clean herself up to go have lunch. She stink of sweat and need to take a bath. Only then she proceed with her daily activities.
Walk to the town to send the medicinal herbs. Going up the mountain into the deep forest to look for fresh herbs. Walk around the mountain to learn some new trail and so on only come back later evening before dark. Have dinner and do homework and revision while waiting for her parents come back from work.
Spend some time with her parents, telling them her day and massage hands and feet some time even their head. They love it when Camellia offer to do that for them. It feels refresh after the massage and reduce their fatigue even before all of them hit the hay.
