Summer Camp 17. Snake
Theodore's POV "Now, everyone, listen carefully.." Mr Alberty clears his throat after making us stand in a circle around him, just after we hop out of the bus. "For the last two days, you know, we were just roaming about in the forest edge and not the actual dense forest," he commences. "But today, listen guys, we are going to go a little deep and so there's high chance that we meet a few wild fellows along our way, I mean even a bear or a woolf." That arouses a lot of shrieks and squeals from the people around. "I know it all sounds exciting to you. But it's also equally dangerous," he continues. "So, what I'm trying to say is, be cautious and behave properly in the forest. Don't try to provoke any animals, especially monkeys. And also be cautious of snakes. I'm sure we'll be encountering a lot of narrow fellows in the grass today." That earns a lot of gasps from the girls. "No need to be scared. You're all wearing boots. You won't get bitten unless you pick up a snake from the g
Summer Camp 18. Consequences of Catching a Fluffy Bunny
Adonis's POV "Adonis! Adonis! Look there.." Theo whispers to me pointing at a rock. "What's there?" I frown, bending a little to take a better look. I couldn't see anything. "Shh.. there's a small bunny behind it. White and brown. Fluffy! I wish I could touch it," he says and quietly starts moving towards the rock. I couldn't help but smile, watching him go to catch the fluffy bunny he was talking about. Just as he reaches near the rock, the rabbit suddenly jumps out from behind it and starts hoping away in a frenzy. I don't know what caught my head at that moment but suddenly I start dashing behind the rabbit, shrugging my back pack off my shoulder and dropping it on the ground. "Adonis!" I hear Theo shudder. Then the next moment, I hear Mr Alberty's voice shouting at me to come back. But I don't stop. I keep running behind the rabbit. In a few seconds, I hear another man's voice which I soon recognise as one of the two forest officers'. I could also hear heavy footsteps follo
Summer Camp 19. Realisation
Theodore's POV I sit at the bow of the canoe with Adonis behind me in the middle and our oarsman at the stern, staring at the waves and ripples being created on the water by our little boat. The sky reflected in the water looks clear blue and the air feels calm despite the weather service saying there could be summer showers. At first, when I got into the canoe, I was feeling a bit scared. Because it's my first time going canoeing and although I have got the safety vest on, sitting only a foot above the water level, with waves buffeting the canoe, I never felt so small or exposed. But surprisingly, Adonis was more scared than me. At first when he agreed to let me sit at the bow and paddle the boat, I thought he was just being nice. But soon I realised it was just cause he is afraid of water and honestly it was so funny. When Adonis tried to step in, the canoe started to rock back and forth and the oarsman and me together had to help him into the middle. And he was still lookin
Summer Camp 20. Last Moments
Adonis's POV I glance at Theo as he sit there a little away from me with his full concentration on his sketch book. He hasn't even tilted his head once or looked at me after we sat down to draw the portrait of the grazing herd of deer, far away. We are again at an open field and after having a late lunch here, Mr Alberty instructed us to sit down and sketch the sight in front of us. It's not just that Theo is so much concentrated on his work that he isn't looking at me. Things kind of turned awkward between us after I picked him up from the canoe earlier. I couldn't help it, I happened to stare into his eyes for a few seconds and he is now confused. He hasn't really talked to me after that. He was completely silent during the five minutes walk from the river bank upto here. I too felt nervous that I didn't talk. Then we sat together with the others for having lunch. So, we couldn't talk anything then. After that we were told to sit and draw, and so, here we are, silently sitting be
Summer Camp 21. Stalking Theo
1 week later Adonis's POV "Ah Finally! I found it! Yes!" I leave a sigh and lie back on my bed, staring at the attractive comic book cover on my phone screen. The cover features a beautiful blonde girl in the middle of two identical twin guys, their only difference in the colour of their hair. One has blonde hair and the other is a brunette. "Double Trouble," I read the name aloud. "And it's the last one." It's the last of Theo's comic books. I finished reading all four of Green peas's other comic books in the last one week. Each one was available on a different site and this one 'Double Trouble' was especially hard to find. Anyway, finally I found it. But I don't know what I will do after finishing this one. He has drawn only five comic books and the sixth one 'Rainy Days' is ongoing. It's upcoming chapter will be available only next Wednesday. What will I do until then? Anyway, let's start this one now. It looks fun. As I'm about to open the first chapter, my phone rings sho
Summer Camp 22. Wit and Wisdom
Theodore's POV I stand in front of the floor length mirror propped up against the wall in my bed room, staring awkwardly at my own reflection. Sure, I look presentable enough. Except for the little dark circles underneath my eyes, everything looks fine, but I still feel nervous as hell. Leaving a sigh, I grab my coat off my computer chair, slipping into it. After making sure my phone and wallet are tucked carefully away in my coat pocket, I sling my bag on my shoulder and leave my room, closing the door behind shut. Walking down the stairs towards the living room, I hear the sound of my Dad talking to someone in a reassuring business sort of way. He was sitting, leaning against the couch, dressed in his crisp black suit, his new iPhone 15 Pro Max in his grasp as he chatted during what was no doubt a business call. He glances up at me as I walk towards the front door and totally surprises me by saying, "Sam, I'll have to give you a call later. My son's getting ready to go out." I
Summer Camp 23. Meeting Again
Adonis's POV "Oh wow! This is great!" I utter looking at my phone screen. "What is great?" Adrien asks and peeks at my phone. "Manga?? When did you start reading Manga?" "I read it sometimes," I say. "Wow! Dude, are you smiling? Why are you so happy suddenly?" He laughs, swallowing the food in his mouth. "My favourite artist announced their new manga! First chapter will be released next Friday!" I can't help the enthusiasm in my voice and Adrien stares at me with a frown creasing his features. "What?" I ask, starting to munch on my sandwich. "You get this happy over a manga?" He asks. "Cause it's Green peas, my favourite artist," I mumble. "Green peas?? That's their name? You know them personally?" "No!" "Really?" He looks at me suspiciously. "You were looking so down until now and suddenly you cheered up. Something's fishy." I leave a dramatic sigh and take a sip of my coffee, ignoring him. I'm so happy Theo's first manga is going to be released soon. And that means, he
Summer Camp 24. Chocolate Box
Theodore's POV "Hey, whom are you buying that for?" Sana asks me as I pick up a chocolate box from the local sweet shop on our way down to the bus stop. Today I got my first sallery from the bookshop, so I treated Sana to a meal and then when I noticed this sweet shop, I thought to buy my sisters something. I already got a picture storybook from the bookshop for my youngest sister. "For my sisters," I turn and smile at Sana. "Aww..you really are a sweet brother. How many sisters have you got?" "Two little sisters. One is thirteen and the other is six." "Oh..you're a big brother? That's cute," she says. After I pay for the chocolate box, we together walk down the street towards the bus stop. "How do you know those guys from Cypress Boys?" I then ask her. I had thought to ask her about it during lunch but then she was telling me about her experience as a waitress at a cafe and I couldn't touch the topic. "You mean Adrien and Adonis?" "Yeah.." I nod. "They both are famous at o
