Tuesday of August when we had our camping in the forest. This wasn't the usual camping that most of the students had experienced, this will teach us on how to survive without the presence of technology. Which is I think a difficult to do since we are all dependent into a hightech objects around us. However, this was a great idea as well because young teenagers like me and like us would be knowledgeable when it comes to survival.
I have spent my time on staring at the ceiling of my tent, I wanted to sleep already because I might feel sleepy tomorrow. We will be having some early errands that I somewhat hated. I do not know how many times I scratched my eyes and plucked it just to make myself sleep. I could not use my phone as well because this place has no signals to utilize. Minutes have passed, and I found myself still starring at the ceiling that I have been doing since 2 hours ago. I bit my lower lip because it was quarter to 12 AM already.
"Ahh. "
A sudden noise appeared that made my heart beats so fast or triple compared to a usual heartbeat of a person. Who the hell won't panic like this if it was in the midst of the night and you suddenly heard a noise in the middle of the forest. I can feel the curiousness lingering through my entire body, I am hesitating to find where it was or just focus with myself who was having a difficult time to sleep. However, I found myself standing at my tent. Since I could not sleep, might as well discover what I wanted to. And I can not sleep as well if I have this curiousity within me— that will make myself even harder to feel asleep.
I opened the zipper of my tent. Oh— I almost forgot to mention that the tent is somewhat big for all of the students here. You can even stand and I do not know what is the purpose of this when each everyone of us have our own and does not want to share with anybody. After I opened my tent the darkness slapped my face, I can not see anything except the lights that our batch provided so it could not be too dark. And the fact that some of us are terrified on a complete darkness of surroundings. There are 12 tents incircling and at the middle there was a bonfire that we did earlier.
It was difficult because we didn't use a lighter or anything. We did it by the presence of woods. And at the side of every tents there is a light with a stand, it is same to just a bulb but it has a stand. I grabbed my phone inside of my pocket, luckily it wasn't in low battery, hence I used the flashlight of it and slowly sauntered to nowhere— because I do not know where the noise came from. My footstep made a slight noise due to the dead leaves that fell from the trees. I bit my lower lip, I think this won't disturb their deep sleep.
I was not too far yet from the location of our tent when I saw a shadow of a two person. I winced a little just to recognize that they are definitely a human and not a weird creature in the forest that some senior have been mentioning to a kid to make them scare. I walked continously towards them, not that close, I am actually anxious that they are a bad person. Therefore, I hid myself behind a big rock, I turned off the flashlight of my phone immediately and stared at what they are planning. I closed my mouth instantly with my palm when I saw them doing the action of sin. Oh hell. In the middle of the forest, there was no electricity, no adequate safe place, and they have still time to make love not too far away from the students?
Well. I think they did not know that there are students who are having a camping here. I don't know why I am watching how they make love. Lol, am I curious or what?
"Hey. "
I suddenly made a noise— but it was not that loud, it can not disturb anybody. I flinched when someone's tapped my back, I turned my body while my heart was beating so fast. And there, I saw Cosmo with his sleepy eyes. I furrowed my forehead at him, he shocked me, literally. I did not notice immediately that he was here or I do not heard a noise coming from his foot step. Did he teleport from the camp to here?
"What?"
I whispered. He glanced at what I was watching before he appeared, I saw how his sleepy eyes closed slightly while looking at my back— that was the area where I saw the horny couple earlier. He looked back at me, the light came from the moon reflected onto his face that made me have a clear view upon it.
"What you looking at there?"
I opened my mouth slightly and pointed the area at my back.
"A couple was the— "
My sentence was cut, the couple was not there anymore. It made my brow raised and furrowed my forehead at the same time. They disappeared? Maybe they heard my noise and perhaps got shocked because someone heard and saw how they had sex. I looked back at Cosmo and pouted my lips, at least I fed my curiosity right? And good thing they left, I do not want to hear their moans anymore. I have a good sense of hearing and I might hear their noises even they are somewhat far from our camp. Of course, their voice would echo.
"No one was there. Anyways, why you still awake and why you are here?"
He was starring at me directly, Cosmo's eyes were blank— which is his usual emotion and expressions. He was taller than me, therefore he bowed his head slightly, seems like praying for me because of my height. And while me I am looking up because he is too tall.
"I can't sleep earlier. Then I heard a noise so I tried to find it. And guess what? I have found a couple making love in the middle of the forest at this point of time. "
I scratched my head. He chuckled at me. Lol, what it makes funnier? I slapped his left arm slightly while he was still chuckling and his face made a winced.
"And you watched how they make love?"
He laughed slightly that make it more hot of him. I yawned for the first time today and I think I could sleep now. This horny couple made me feel sleepy, good thing I saw them, if otherwise my eyes were still widely open. I did not answer her query for me, isn't it obvious that I watched them? Come on.
"Let's go back to the camp. You are sleepy already. "
I nodded at him as an answer. He held my wrist while he was holding his phone, a light suddenly appeared from it. Of course, he turned on the flash light. Cosmo was guiding me while he was still holding my hand, how gentleman of him. Anyways, Cosmo is my batchmate, we are not classmates, just a batchmates. Actually, he does not want to join this camp but when he found out I joined he immediately pass his name to the department who were assigned for this camping thing. He is my childhood friend, by the way. My parents knew him already and likewise Cosmo's parents, that is why he take care of me always because my parents said so. As if I could not take care of myself.
"Are you sure you can sleep now?"
He instantly questioned me when we were in front of my tent. His voice was not loud and he almost whisper, we do not want to disturb anybody's sleep. He even gave me an ointment that I can spread on my head if ever I can't still sleep. I nodded at him again and smiled widely, he smiled too.
"You are free to enter my tent if ever you can't sleep. Don't just go anywhere, you might lost here. Understood?"
He messed my hair and I signed 'okay' at him as a response, I am seriously beyond grateful having him by myside. He is like a brother and a buddy to me.
"I'll sleep now. Good night. Thanks for the ointment, by the way. "
I entered in my tent and layed on the mat. I opened the ointment and get some of it to spread on my forehead, it gave chills in me. And I think this is a mentol it seems like it evaporates from my head. It's so cool, the smells was so great as well. I breathe deeply repeteadly and closed my eyes.
