Chapter 42 - The Campsite

It was a beautiful morning with birds chipping and beautiful breeze touching my body. No sooner did I open my eyes than I realized we are still traveling. After an exhausted and scary night, The day was absolutely beautiful, cloudless, warm and awash with scents of blossom.

"We haven't reached yet?" I asked Alan who was driving the car.

"Oh, You woke up. Goodmorning." Alan replied. Everyone other than me and Alan was deep asleep.

"Goodmorning Alan!" I said cheerfully

"So how have you been doing princess? Slept well?" Alan asked. The word 'princess' made me blush.

"Princess?" A strong voice interrupted our conversation. Surely it had to none other than Jared. "What's even going between you two? It hasn't even been much time since you both have met and princess and all. Wow." Jared said suspicious.

Alan giggled and replied, "Nothing like that, I just asked in a friendly manner. Anyways Serena is a princess only and we are her soldier protecting her."

Jared was at a bit of a relieved but I didn't like it.

'Why did he had to say that? Can't he have just kept quiet? Friendly manner it seems.' I said to myself little bit pissed.

"Can you all please lower up your volume? You all are destroying my beauty sleep." Jared said totally annoyed and sleepy.

Aphrodite was lying on Jared's shoulder. They both were sharing the same blanket. Aphrodite had been very oblivious to love, though alot of people are obsessed over her beauty but she never let anyone make it through the borders of her heart. It was so adorable to see Jared and Aphrodite.

"You sleepy head get up now. We have almost reached the campsite." Alan said pulling up Jared's leg.

Alan was correct after few minutes, we reached the campsite. it was really really beautiful. I always love the country side life more than the city ones. Hundreds of beautiful tent surrounded that area.

"Ooof, Finally we reached." Aphrodite said in her half sleep.

"Dude see, how beautiful this scene is." I said to Aphrodite with full excitement.

"I know right." Tom said with a charming smile on his face.

Everyone was tired but Maria seemed tense again.

"What's up with you these days? You seems so disturbed and tensed." I asked Maria

"Give me some time, I need to figure out stuff." Maria said, Maria words were always enough to ruin my mood and give me anxiety.

Just then a strict voice were heard from behind, "When you said you are doing night stay with your friends I knew that Tom and Serena had to hit your list." It was none another than our Professor Hernandez taunting Alan for being friends with us.

"I never understand what problem he has with us." Tom whispered in my ears.

"Well I was at Jared's house and only I and Jared was there studying." Alan said with a soft voice.

"Yes, Yes" Jared said as soon as he can supporting up Alan's statement.

"I just never understand you people. Why did you all had to come up with your separate cars when you could have come up with the school vehicle. Too much of tantrums you have. right Serena?" Mr Hernandez asked pin pointing me.

"What did I do now sir?" I asked him with a very sharp voice. I was already frustrated from everything and he simply blaming me triggered my nerves. Tom kept a hand on my shoulder relaxing me up.

"Shhhh, Don't dare to argue with your Professor. All of you all go and select up the tents. God knows how you kids looks so tired as if you haven't slept at the all the last night." Mr Hernandez shouted at us. What else he even knew other than shouting. I took my bag and went alway from his sight as soon as I could
