"Sir, don't you want to stop by?" bargain Alice after Edric's car reaches the courtyard of her mansion.
"No," Edric answered briefly without looking.
"Well, thank you for driving me."
"Hm." An indifferent deheman Edric uses in response, Alice becomes clumsy and ashamed of herself.
He quickly opened the car door and got out of the old man's car. Just as he had closed the door, the car had already driven straight away from the Lawrence family mansion. "Based on old man, stiff, arrogant, stingy .. let alone yes, ah already!" he was furious, after which he immediately entered the mansion.
"Alice," Lucy screeched after seeing Alice at the door.
"I'm sorry, I was looking for you everywhere but didn't meet. I didn't know that you weren't with Mr. Aldric, I .. I.." Lucy said she heard tears welling up in her eyes, making Alice who initially wanted to get angry became unbearable.
"That's it," Alice answered at last, holding her best friend's shoulders.
"I'm important that I'm not papa" he continued with a smile, a smile that creeps on Lucy behind her cries. "Sorry," he regretted again while hugging tightly the employer and his best friend.

Three days have passed, today is the day of departure camping. All new students will gather in the campus hall to be directed to their respective buses.
"Alice, let's go! Later we're late," cried Lucy outside the bathroom, from early in the morning she's been bothered like mothers who take care of her children. Starting from the equipment, food, clothes, everything he has prepared.
"Yes, Cy. Patience first!" reply Alice ogah-ogahan, he was not so eager to follow this event. If it's too late, don't go, she thought.
.

"Well, it's because of you. We're almost late," Lucy grumbled to make Alice grow her smile, Lucy has been braver lately. Now I dare to grumble.
Alice stopped Lucy's hand from pulling her arm, "You dare to say something to me?" alice asked with a face made fierce.
"Eh, don't you dare Miss." Lucy lowered her head, realizing that she was too late. Alice who saw it blew her laughter, now she was no longer jaim to this little girl of her followers.
Lucy who was initially confused also laughed, so they unconsciously stopped their trip for a few minutes just to joke. Making those who are initially late even late.
"Hey, what are you doing in there?" a guard shouted to wake them up.
"Everyone on the bus, you're still here?" he continued with both hands on his waist, not knowing that he was angry was the daughter of the campus owner.
"Lice, go! We're really late" said Lucy in a panic, then clasped Alice's arm and pulled her to run along.
Alice's heart became warm, this was the real friendship. What Alice never got first, and Ayla did in her life. He secretly smiles, a shady smile capable of hypnotizing one of the bus occupants as Alice and Lucy pass by.
...
Alice and Lucy were on a different bus, and because it was too late, Alice was forced to sit next to their coach. In the front row, behind the driver.
'Ah, fuck. Why meet this old man again?' the sound is in the heart. He turned his eyes away, hoping that there was another empty place but it was all completely full. He took his breath, then forcedly said, "Excuse me, sir. Can I sit here?"
Edric looked at him, then gave the code by swiping next to him.
'Besides the food stingy, also the voice stingy. Like speaking a little can make his voice run out, ' his grunts returned, only daring in the heart.
He sat there with a fist, and he had to sit like a statue during the journey. Because it moved just a little, the old man would cluck. It was as if Alice was deeply disturbing her calm.
And do not think there will be sweet scenes like in Korean dramas. When the girl feels sleepy, the man will lend her his shoulder. Because in reality, Alice did not let her eyes close at all, nor did Edric. Both of them stayed awake despite the trip taking almost three hours.

The students seemed stunned by this beautiful scenery, not a few who had posed and took selfies with their friends.
"Alice," call Lucy who's coming with Kiara.
"Come, let's bring the tent," asked Kiara who had started to bring out various equipment. They help each other, but I don't know what's wrong. Setting up the tent included the difficult work for these three girls, it had already been an hour passed and their tent had not stood up making the three girls overwhelmed.
"Can I help you?" The greeting from behind them averted the tired eyes of the three girls. And instantly their smiles expanded.
"Of course," Alice replied excitedly. With Haven he won't hesitate.
Haven immediately helped them, not long after that also came Aldric and Malvin who without asking directly helped.
In a short time their tent had stood perfectly. "Thank you" Alice said as she threw a bottle of the drink she had brought to Haven. Aldric who saw it felt a little hot, without a word he went from there without even turning his head. Alice chose not to ignore it.

At nightfall, the campers had entered their respective tents. They had been divided into dozens of groups, and the activities would begin tomorrow.
"Lucy," whispered Kiara as she slowly pushed Lucy's arm.
"Ngg, what's up?" ask Lucy between conscious and unconscious.
"Take me to the toilet, I'll go to the toilet."
"Ngg, just take Alice with you."
"Hey, how could I wake her up." Although already a good friend, but still Kiara is still reluctant to Alice.
"Well, I'm out on my own."
He stretched out his hand, slowly unzipped the tent and peeked out. The dark atmosphere of the night made him shudder, it was better to just be held back he thought.
But after a while he couldn't stand it anymore, and he was forced to start waking Alice up for fear of having to go alone. "Australia ... Alice."
"Hmm," Alice murmured with a slight opening of her eyelids.
"Guide me to the toilet dong, I kebelet nih," melasnya make Alice could not bear.
He slowly woke up, neutralizing his consciousness first and accompanied Kiara out. Though he had promised himself would not go out at night to avoid a piece of the plot of the novel Belenggu Cinta.
On the other hand, Olivia was taking a walk by the lake. His hand was holding a cell phone stuck to his ear.
"Yes, Ma. Mama take it easy, I can look after myself."
"... ."
"Okay Ma, yes, yes. I'm gonna take a break, Mama's gonna take a break, too."
Oliv kept his phone in his pants pocket then stared at the natural beauty of the lake. The radiance of the moonlight made the lake look beautiful.
Suddenly.
