CHAPTER 4
I glanced at the guy who had chocolate brown smooth hair, who had long eyes. He was still hanging his bag on his shoulders. I could surmise that he hadn't saved himself a seat before taking food. Since the time was running out and I was starving, I nodded at him.
"We don't mind, you can join us," he flashed his rectangular boxy smile as I acquiesced him. "Thank you so much," I found his charming smile winsome. I walked towards the place I and Luna previously bumped our bags. There was enough space for three people at the corner desk.
Luna glanced at the boy behind me with a raised eyebrow. I placed my food tray on the table and sat beside her. "Who is this?" she asked me in a low voice. The guy dropped his bag on the floor and sat face to face with us. He again grinned, showing off his pearly teeth.
"I'm Taehyung, Kim Taehyung. She let me sit with you guys, "he motioned his head towards me. Luna's lips took an 'O' shape as she perceived. She sure was surprised by the fact that I actually talked and let a random guy join us. Luna extended her hand to him,
"I'm Luna, and this is my sister Juvanna," she introduced ourselves as she knew that I wasn't good with strangers. I smiled awkwardly at him. "Ah, you two are sisters? should have guessed from your looks," he said, starting to bite his burger. For the first time, I was wondering whether Luna and I actually had any physical similarities. We three started eating without further conversation as we were so hungry.
While we were quietly eating, I heard the voice of the host through the speakers, loud and clear.
" As a first step, we will divide you guys into groups of ten people each. Overall, there will be ten groups with ten people in one. As for the sleeping situation, take out the cards we pinned in your admission papers,"
As she said, others pulled out their papers. I too rummaged through my bag and found the paper she was talking about. There was a number '7' written on mine. I peered at Luna's, and to my somewhat relief, my sister had the same number as me. Taehyung tilted his head towards his, scanning the paper with his dark orbs.
"That will be the room number you guys will be staying. After lunch, these staff will show you your rooms. You guys must follow their instructions and make yourself home here, " Kate continued talking, explaining things to the boys and girls who were curiously listening to her.
" You guys will be given tasks to complete, which are based on teamwork and your ability to make the right decision at the right time. We will be choosing the best team among you guys, and the ones who will get the highest scores will be rewarded,"
"Rewarded? Now, this is something I never heard of," Taehyung said, tucking his chin on his palm as he leaned his elbow on the table. I curiously stared at the host cause this was something new for me. She glances at everyone with her gleeful eyes.
"And the reward will be a secret," she chuckled mysteriously. She made us even more curious with her eccentric behaviour. "Wonder what the reward is," Luna said making me immersed in various thoughts that were running through my mind.
"Since you guys have finished, shall we see your rooms now?" Everyone seemed to agree with her. The hall was filled with scratching noises, chairs dragging, and metal clanging as we stood from our seats.
"Everyone please gather as I call the room numbers," Kate started calling the teams, starting from number one. As she called, girls and boys started gliding towards her. She let one of the staff lead them to their chambers. The crowd in the hall was decreasing as she continued her work. As she called number five, the boy who was acquainting us turned to us,
"That's my call, I'll see you, girls, later then, it was a pleasure meeting you," he said before bidding a farewell to us. I waved back as he started walking away from us, making his way to the front. He joined a group of boys before disappearing from the main hall, just like the others did. We waited to be called. My heart raced as I heard her call out number seven loud and clear.
Both me and Luna grabbed our stuff, heading to the front. There weren't many people remaining in the room as the people lessened. As we both approached, I was surprised to see the two girls from the gate were there as well, meaning that we were roommates as well. I counted the girls around me in my mind.
There were seven of us, including me and Luna.
And for both my fear and jitter, our guider was none other than Gwen, that creepy old woman. I gulped as her sharp gaze fell on me, scanning my head to toes. Her blazing gazes were menacing. It was making me so much uncomfortable.
"Come with me," for the first time ever, I heard her talking and her voice was as spooky as her. It was coarse as I expected. She motioned us to follow her. We accompanied her, sauntered behind her, lugging our bags with us.
I scrutinised the other girls who were with me. From their looks, they didn't look that bad, but I wasn't enthusiastic to get in a conversation or relationship with them. I'm so bad at talking to people. But, at least I should try if I have to survive here. I can't live shadowing my sister as always. Gwen took us through a long passage, leading us to a place separated from the main building. As we walked, I felt like the temperature was dropping every second.
"God, it's freezing here," a girl whose name I didn't know enfolded her arms around to protect herself from the cold.My lips were feeling dry with the frosty weather.
"It's a little bit cold here, you'll get used to it soon," Gwen answered, not even turning back. The girl zipped her mouth, not affording to talk anymore. We finally reached a house like a place, probably was part of the convent, yet it was quite far from the main building.
It was pretty neat for a house. It looked modified and well maintained. As we entered inside, I espied that it was smaller than a normal house but perfectly enough for seven people to live. We all headed inside, making our way into the house. Inside the house was warmer than outside, gladly.
"Settle yourselves and be back in fifteen minutes," Gwen left even before someone could shoot her any questions. She shut closed the doors behind us, leaving some people who were merely strangers to each other. One girl with black shoulder-length hair spoke, clearing her throat, deciding to break the ice between us.
"I think we should get to know each other first, right? I'm Zaylee, " her eyes sparkled as she talked in a friendly manner, commencing a conversation to start with. With her words, others leisurely started talking, with less awareness surrounding us.
"I am Jizza, and here's my bestie since childhood, Cassy," the girl we saw near the gate spoke. Her rosy cheeks and black eyes were bringing her a unique beauty. Her brown-colored wavy hair freely spread on her shoulders, making her look like a model for a shampoo ad. She elbowed the girl near her who looked like she was somewhere out of this world, even though she was actually there. Cassy was rather casual looking but had her own beauty inside her. From their looks and behaviours, Jizza was the more
The bubbly type, while Cassy was a somewhat weird girl.
The uneasiness inside me was slowly fading away.
We got to know each other. As we talked with each other, I got to know my other roommates. The tall girl with dark brown hair, who looked like a hardcore type, one was Lee. She had that somewhat smirk on her face that made her look a little arrogant, but I didn't think she would be like that cause she spoke casually and amiably. The other one who was next to her was Adina, a beautiful and cute girl who looked so calm, totally the opposite of that girl Lee. After getting to know each of them, deep inside I felt somewhat satisfied.
Maybe this won't be bad as I thought.
After we shared the four rooms, we again assembled in the main building of the convent as we were told to do so. All the campers were already there. As I checked around, I noticed that the staff were gone. They had disappeared.
Maybe they were sent back, Kate did say that from today onwards we would be on our own.
Kate, the main host, climbed to a stage that looked like a place while Gwen got acquainted with her as well. She glanced at us.
"Let's start our first game, shall we? Time to begin the fun."
Wonder what will be there in this creepy camp, what do you think?
