It was a cold, misty morning. We stepped out onto the driveway and stood by the coach. This class resedential was so far just about as boring class resedentials could get. We hadn't even had a campfire yet, and it was the fourth day. Well, this was more like a holiday since it was for 3 weeks. Ms Wright, our teacher, came out of the lodge and told us to stand in a line with our partners. I looked at my best friend Charlotte and she looked at me the same way. We were always partners for everything. We then took our seats in the coach and made ourselves comfortable. After everyone got on, I took my phone out of my pocket. It was 8:15am. No wonder it was so cold. I put on my headphones and leaned back. The drive was gonna be around half to an entire hour so Charlotte fell asleep. As soon as Ms Davies finished taking the register, we were off.

       As I was listening to Don't Wanna Know by Maroon 5, I thought about everything that had happened the week before. My last fight with Natasha, finding out that this girl that was in my primary class had gotten liver cancer, all the bad stuff rushed into my head. It was then that I realised how messed up my life was. I mean, my life has always been messed up, but this felt worse. I felt guilt. I felt anger. I don't know why, I hadn't done anything. I have never let people realise this though. I never will.

         After around 45 minutes, we arrived at the foot of this belgiun mountain. What was it called again? I nudged Charlotte awake and began to take off my seatbelt, but Ms Davies stopped us. She said that we were driving uo the mountain and to put our seatbelts back on.

       "But miss! The road will be too narrow for the coach to go up it! Why don't we just hike it?" I asked. The road was clearly too narrow for the coach.

      "It's fine Rebecca. We have the best driver with us so calm down. Just make sure you don't move around as much. Alright? Off we go."

     I looked at Charlotte, she was clearly as nervous as me. I placed my headphones and started listening to Cheap Thrills by Sia. We started the climb up the mountain and I could already feel my heart beat faster. I looked at Charlotte and saw that she was fast asleep, again. Honestly, how can she sleep like that? Doesn't she know that any minute we could- no. Don't jinx it. Just don't. I stared at the edge of the road as we carried on with our climb up the mountain. The space was getting smaller. We were getting closer. My heart was racing. My breathing was getting louder and faster. Suddenly, we stopped and everyone took off their seatbelts. Phew. We made it. Thank God.

         We left the coach and started walking for a couple of minutes until we met Jan, our leader for the day. She started talking about the history of the mountain and all that stuff. Boring. I checked the time again. 10:15. Wow. Time goes quickly when you're listening to your favourite songs. I started daydreaming about me falling in love with this random boy and then me saving the world. It was crazy.

      "Rebecca! What year did I say that this mountain was first climbed?" Damn it. Caught again daydreaming. I really couldn't give a damn though.

        "God knows." I replied, a bit proud to finally say that to a teacher who deserved it. I heard a few giggles and snickers, but I just stared right into Jan's eyes, burning through her soul, drilling to the middle of her brain, trying to find her response. Instead, she just smiled a dodgy smile and replied,
  "Thank you for being honest, Rebecca. But next time, try to pay a bit more attention." I rolled my eyes at her and put on my headphones. Ooh, Let Me Love You was on. I love that song, it makes me feel good. Makes feel happy. Loved.

         We started walking towards the coach again and I sat near the window. We thanked Jan and set off, down the mountain.

     Why did I sit on this side again? I was sitting on the mountain edge side, and I was able to see right to the bottom. God damnit.
