As all three buses landed, we took our turns getting off one by one. Even after everything I tried to envision, my eyes were not prepared for the stunning beauty of the massive camp. We ended up in the recreational center first and foremost, so I set down my heavy bags to pan all around me, absorbing the view and the frigid air around me.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PoitNvYY9

The cold made me feel more alive than ever, while the new scenery took all my attention to process. I'm not one to leave the house much, so going anywhere new was always a fun and fascinating experience. Knowing I would be here for the next three days refreshed all the excitement I had been building up before.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyl7S1vn2s

All of the other students and teachers started walking by me in the background, but I stood almost stone still, admiring the view even from the simple entrance location. The sun was struggling to shine behind some strong incoming overcast, failing to warm the place up to levels that would bother me. Despite being hundreds of miles from home, I felt like I could belong here at any moment. The sights really are breath taking... I'll periodically use some of my telepathy to share the visuals with you, since words are not enough.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw5YINQL4s

It's like some veritable oasis of life packed snug into surrounding woods of nature, much of which I have not even seen yet. I wanted to keep my pace so slow and easy, but in less than a minute, I was already being interrupted by the voice of someone certainly older than me.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdK8JVDbBO
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ag3btVkIO
"Hey Reed?"135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4UiR7nmeF
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANmFVRVRGr
I turned around, unsurprised by who was calling out my name. "Ms. Quaker. Looks like we're finally here." I'm glad we all made it here without any issues. I didn't ask this teacher what she was doing with all of that heavy looking loot in her arms, slightly covering her face from my angle. I didn't ask what she wanted from me either, since I wasn't expecting anything from her beyond my thoughts on this camp.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nupSQSPFD
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj4tWEjSgJ
"Yes, it's quite the enjoyable experience." Ms. Quaker eyed me up and down, realizing that I had placed my own valuables on the floor beside me for a brief rest. "Here," she offered, placing all of her loot into my arms without even asking. I reached out to grab them, only because I didn't want her to drop her own belongings, though I was confused on why she wanted me to carry them at all. "Can you do me the favor of delivering all this stuff to Ms. Ray Ray? She kind of just left it with me and forgot to retrieve it."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznB8JYoPk7
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuK3Xo6ftz
I was already over-encumbered by the weight of the suitcase and two stacked binders, so my voice was being squashed by the effort I had to use to hold them up. I knew already that it was a little too late to refuse the favor, but I didn't mind too much. I knew already that Ms. Quaker trusts me enough not to misplace other people's things or do any harm, but I don't know where Ray Ray would be. What about my things? "I don't mind, but what bus did she get off of?" I knew it wasn't my bus, because I never saw her anywhere, despite being told she was attending as another chaperone.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrTTER4ard
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQVqWnm7fq
"I think she got off of Bus C. Don't worry about your things. I'll keep them safe with me until you return. I didn't find her when I checked the other bus, so I presume she's already on her way to the other cabin, over there on that field." Ms. Quaker pointed to where I would have to go, to a large open field separated by a small yet beautiful bridge over a river, populated with only one single cabin and a tetherball court.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qZ6pS3wX0
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxjb9bESQi
It looked like quite the distance to travel. I was only able to make out what I could thanks to my far-sided vision. The suitcase and binders were not too heavy for me to carry, but I was soon aware why Ms. Quaker didn't want to transport this stuff herself. She wanted to rely one somebody more trustworthy and fit with energy. Being the good Samaritan I was, I didn't refuse after a second of thought. "Alright. I'll deliver these to her for you."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2updoevxv
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJwNGODzMq
"Thank you so much Reed! It's nice of you to help us out."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS6nAllFV4
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGIqCW4pR3
I started walking away already, too bothered with the stuff in my hands to turn around and acknowledge her. It's not really that big a deal. I really don't mind going out of my way to help others when they ask for it. I've had an interesting time in school lately, following rules selectively, only when I find them suitable for me, or when they come from teachers and instructors who are chilled out to begin with. I can't always have such fortune in getting relaxed teachers, so I don't go out of my way to help those I can't stand. Of course, of all the rules I've broken so far, it's mostly just been me ducking class to be with Lumina, or to hit the Library in order to keep up with my other work. The point is, this isn't unusual for me. I know Ms. Quaker enough to trust her not to lose my things in return.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9PdgUgIBd

Before I could get to that small bridge, I had lots of students passing me by, going towards or away from me in many directions. I knew already that they have some protocol for the central field to use bell tolls to roll call everybody in one place, but as for now, everybody must have been settling in or exploring. The process made general traffic around me quite heavy. I didn't even get to ask where we're all staying and unpacking... Oh well. I'll just ask somebody when I'm done with this delivery. I happen to have a physics class with Ms. Ray Ray, so I was doing two people a favor for the price of one, and it gave me my own excuse to explore randomly around.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3USBf0SexL
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWRdaFnQUc
All of the sights I took in on the way there were so insightful. The changing angle gave me some visual access to some of the other fields. There were basically three large fields, two of them open with little on them, excluding the central field. There were rough but visible paths leading into specific routes in the woods in some areas. I knew already I was going to have to mentally map out this entire place to avoid getting lost later.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh3HL7Bdmh
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbMBcNpatr
"Scuse me." Another random student tried to go around me from the front, as I barely avoided bumping into her impatient movement. I had no trouble seeing over the top of the binders and suitcase stuck in my hands, but the materials were heavy enough to hinder my own movement and walking speed a bit, so I did my best to avoid getting in anybody's way.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs3mpP89i5

When I reached the overhead bridge, I had to slow myself down on purpose, admiring how amazing it looked, both the bridge and the river flowing underneath it. Just sitting on this bridge itself would be a source of serenity for me, and I began to fall evermore in love with nature. I crossed this small structure of beauty, as it separated the central field from the field I had to reach. The other open field also had another separate bridge just like this one connecting the two.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG617JebQlm

As I walked deeper into the field, I approached the only large structure in sight, one of the many cabins stationed around the camp. It looked a lot like some kind of lodge house built entire out of worn-out timber. The natural wear and weathering of the building gave it an attractive appearance and texture to me, displaying its standing history in all the years it must have endured the great outdoors.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaxLai8Edo
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtShV1AEyt
"Where's Ms. Ray Ray?" I panned around again as I was near the steps of the entrance to the cabin, hoping to see some adult I could ask, but the only people walking nearby were other female students. She must be inside. I turned around, preparing to walk up these steps without losing my balance or dropping the suitcase in my hands. I reminded myself how big of a favor this was, since the materials seemed heavy. I only assumed them to be learning materials and a change of clothes or something, since I didn't peer inside to find out. I thought nothing of anything when I reached the cabin door, pushing the cracked wood open to let myself inside, expecting to find Ms. Ray Ray.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsvJmVOP7X
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkgy9TtAEu
I wasn't expecting the noise level to suddenly be so loud, but the sights in front of me were more surprising. I stood here still, admiring a wondrous scene of many other students, whom have obviously settled in long enough to play and fool around. Some of the girls were just casually walking around and unpacking their personal belongings, but many others were jumping around on their beds, slamming each other with various pillows, and enjoying their horseplay enough to laugh so strongly.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaghwlYAFp
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFlVxiU0kz
The first thing I felt was left out, only because they seemed to be having so much more fun than I was currently having. As I quickly reminded myself what I would be doing with Lumina later, I didn't let it bother me too much longer. I still wasn't expecting to see everybody so hyped up, including Banarus and some of the other friends she had, all of which did not notice me yet. I decided to stick with the assignment, since my arms were getting tired. I panned around the room impatiently, waiting to see if my target was in sights. "Where is the teacher?"135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uevVnBBeE
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksD9hOaegR
"Reed?! What are you doing in here?!"135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOikSIDq6L
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nCGtGrXhd
"What?" I found Ashly already. I didn't know why she looked too surprised or shocked to see me, and I didn't care either. "I'm trying to find Ms. Ray Ray. I have all this stuff for her."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8aidjhGC9
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGxqmFWYUZ
"Who let him into the cabin?" By now, the others became aware of my presence, killing their moods quickly. Several of the girls were giving shocked or panicked looks, which only confused me further.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnU68gKRkbY
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuYO02p02g
Another random student I didn't know announced something right after, lifting a cloud of fog that shielded my mind. "Hey! We have someone changing in the other room. He can't be here!"135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3ZJw2yBay
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcc0g42g4v
"Wha—" was all I could get out, as the epiphany hit me a little too late. It was only now that I remembered the fact that both fields as well as both main cabins were gender divided. It explained why this cabin was only inhabited by only female students. I quickly began to panic inside, since I realized I was totally unwelcome here.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKbEOiVXNu
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd7OpEMFx0
"Reed?! What are you—" The teacher cut herself off, unable to conceive of the very sentence she was about to finish.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaHKeGtpEy
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmucoDE97Im
At last! I found Ms. Ray Ray, standing between a side entryway leading to some separate room of the same cabin, the same room that other student warned about. The fact that there were or might be other students changing nearby registered in me next, making me more nervous that I might have made somebody upset. I lifted up her own luggage, absolving myself of any other possibility. "I... Ms. Quaker asked me to deliver this stuff to you."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMqNr1o9nO
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF55jEbBGu
"Okay, I'll take that, but you can't be in here!" I've never seen Ms. Ray Ray get so stern and upset with me before. She seemed to be more in a panicked rush than she was angry though. "This is the girl's cabin, and it's on their side of the field! Go!" She pointed behind me, directly to the door from which I came.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLJdygnWYb
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE74f40uiJq
I swiftly nodded, and turned myself around faster than ever before. "Right. I didn't remember that till now."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlDVNH1jTg
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBv3SurxvY
"Just hurry on back to the roll call area before you get into trouble." I could hear the rush in her voice, but I kept my eyes forward, realizing how awkward this was only to now realize it.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mpqRSvaIz
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSRPXytP3c
With no arguments, I hurried myself out, getting a few meters from the stairs of their cabin before I felt a little more relaxed. The brief exchange didn't give me time to think until now. With Ray Ray's things returned to her, I can at least tell Ms. Quaker I was finished. I get it now. They gender divide the cabins and fields so that the girls and boys can sleep separately, and also so that they can change. Wahsega doesn't really have a specific changing room, and the strange bathroom buildings they do have aren't big enough to support that role either. In all, this was the one detail I blocked out from my mind earlier, mainly because I wasn't looking forward to spending any time with the other heathens on my side of the open field.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GqKhwYtAV

"Nyah!"My body trembled inside as if an evil spirit were about to eat my soul! As I nervously turned around, I saw one of my other teachers, towering over me with an angry glare as she held her hands on both hips. I knew already that I was seriously about to be in one hell of a pickle, especially since this is Ms. Dang; she doesn't go easy on anybody for anything.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6jIX9EQRM
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s6LHluo3s
"You can't be on this side of the field! You're coming with me to have a discussion with—"135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC5Lqr0FSt
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUT2Wgre0zC
"Ms. Dang! Stop it!" One teacher was abruptly interrupted by another, as I now saw Ms. Quaker, struggling to get her legs over here as fast as she could. "I already told you that I'm the one who sent him on an errand!"135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4szUVeGcl
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBgWmort5T
It took everything inside me to try finding out what was going on here. I didn't expect Quaker to have caught up to me at all. I wondered why I didn't see Ms. Dang before I got here, and pondered why she was so quick to find me. If I had to guess, Ms. Dang might have found out where I was from what Ms. Quaker told her, and promptly freaked out from that moment on.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSa8Y787Pu
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdaAoCdNUv
Ms. Dang turned to address Ms. Quaker, as the two of them started getting into a heated argument with me just standing here confused and upset. "I don't care what kind of errand you sent him on. That's no excuse to break the rules! Didn't you use your brain to think what could have happened? Or have you forgotten about the peeping incident they had here two years ago?"135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26FvwMAWUB
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeaDE3ERbX
While Ms. Quaker was getting an earful, she focused on me before continuing to be chewed out by the other superior. "Sorry about this Reed. Please just go back to the recreation center." She was practically begging me to leave in her tone, out of desperation and regret.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw59mqPop8
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoTMvQjh1A
"Yeah... Sure..." I delayed myself slightly, while the two adults continued ripping into each other about what happened. Once I started walking back to the bridge over the river, I had some time to think about what just happened back there.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIighfJkM6M
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX8xpJph4u
It all makes sense at least to why a superior like Ms. Dang would be so upset with the scene that would have gone on. From her perspective, a boy entered onto the other field, entered the female cabin, and left shortly after. Of course, Ms. Quaker literally asked me to do so, during which moment I wasn't thinking about all that other stuff. I know already why she asked me to do it too.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkypE03GRU
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnAkVEtuBX
Ms. Quaker and I go back a few years. We don't know each other too well on a personal level, but she's seen my good and polite side enough to favor me for errands or general chitchat. She's also seen another side of me that most teachers in my school don't understand themselves, that side of me which respects women and our manners to the tenth degree, while lacking any hint of masculine desires, or as I call them, heathenism traits. I only show off my polite side to those who return the sentiment before or after, but Ms. Quaker is calm and collected herself. It explains why she entrusted that strange errand to me rather than anyone else. She could have chosen any other female student for the task. Sadly, a majority of the other students would have likely turned down her request, or at the very least been too untrustworthy to handle somebody else's property. After all, I take perfect care of everything I own. She chose me, because Ms. Quaker knew I wasn't the type of person who would go to the girl's side of the field with any ulterior motive most other boys would have to the idea.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh9Yoo61yn
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKaX44fAKe
But even as I realized this on my way back to the central field, I quickly became upset with how all of that went down. I made Ms. Ray Ray and Ms. Dang upset with me, and got Ms. Quaker in some kind of trouble too. "Why send me on an errand, only to turn around and have people yell at me for completing it? I am so not in trouble for this!" I don't care how angry Ms. Dang is with me now. It's not my fault that this happened, and I refuse to be punished for it!135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlphmwGaCPo
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5GvVr8UDj

On my way to the cabin I was supposed to be going to, after retrieving my own belongings which Ms. Quaker left unattended in the recreation field, (as I called it the central hub), I got to pass by a few more interesting sights of nature. I knew I would be exploring a lot more than what I had already seen, but there was quite a fascinating river flow we had here. I stopped by to absorb the visual memory of it, bathing in the beauty that's always existed. Nature is a wonderful work of art.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAysfUfLQr3

Breathtaking, isn't it? All the fun and games ended when I reached my side of the field, the boy's section of Wahsega, as well as the boy's cabin. Going inside, I picked out a bed as my own in the far corner, using the space on the wooden ground to unload all that I brought for myself. I wouldn't need the rain boots yet, but I have a feeling we'll be walking through some of these rivers as time goes on.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1JyIxjfjq

I still had some time to relax before the cafeteria building starts to serve us lunch. After that however, the male chaperone assigned to our unit will be taking us around the camp to begin the less exciting educational activities.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9rk71ZPwu
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32mdHdMiUD
The teacher, whose name I can't be bothered to care for, was still just outside the open entrance of the door, guiding the stragglers in and introducing the way things will work tonight. "Yes, this is the men's cabin. Make some room and comfort, because all of you will be sleeping here tonight."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FINAwD0Lh
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiOd6XCtCi
"Huhu! I got dibs on the top bunk." Many of the students who were already trying to settle in began roughhousing, even though it was far more aggressive than what I witnessed earlier. It allowed me to briefly draw a comparison between what one side of the field was in for, and what hell I would be in for.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUkEyBPGAk
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgqnWdTGHX
I sighed loudly, cursing my luck for putting this barrier in my way of fun. So it is that I will be delivered this cruel fate, to be surrounded all day and night by a bunch of stupid heathens. Wonderful!135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuet7asEk8
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ysbf1PUB9
I could care less about the fact that I wasn't allowed on the girl's side of the field, even though the thought has been constantly on my mind for the past half hour following some absurdity. After overhearing what Ms. Dang said about some peeping incident, more of the puzzle pieces for why they had that rule slid into place for me. They divide the fields not because of people like me, but because of people like them! My fists clenched just looking at the ugly sight of the other heathens around me. At one point in time, probably long before I was even born, enough male idiots decided to be perverts for places or events like this, leading to the need for such a division. I wasn't angry that I wasn't a girl in this situation, but I wasn't too thrilled to be part of this other pack either. I'm nothing like them. I'm not associated with any part of their behavior. The fact that Ms. Dang assumed that was my reason for being on that side of the field is what infuriated me the most; that somebody, anybody would ever assume I'm that kind of man, that kind of disgusting heathen that would ever intentionally defile other women with lecherous eyes.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBoVd3hgXb
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGLLzEcIrW
It was worse now that I had to somehow find a way to separate myself from all of these idiots. If there's anything I won't do, it's spend the next three days with all of these vile creatures! My exaggeration was but objective truth. There wasn't a single person currently in my cabin who one could look at and call well-behaved, well-mannered, or non-toxic. Of all the lousy cards to be dealt, I couldn't figure out why I had been so unfortunate to be paired with these people.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7mN5t9xRB
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjoUybnO2k
The constant reminder only chipped away quickly at my deteriorating mood. I had been so excited all this time since on the way to Wahsega, and I still should be. Sadly, there are some truth bombs about this place that I didn't see coming. In all, it reminded me most about the very reason and purpose I came here to begin with! I'm supposed to be having fun with one plus person. Yeah, she's a girl, but I don't think the chaperones will chew me out if they never detect her presence in the first place. I knew from before that the temperature had gone up, just enough to disable telepathy, but I knew already how this weather system works. Despite the time of day, those thick clouds rolling in are bringing colder winds. In a matter of an hour or less, I'll be able to contact Lumina again.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPwB16FaFz
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7zl8tMNwP
The only reason I didn't call her sooner was because I wanted to unpack here first. I'm not to complain, due to the weird weather shifting up and down. It's better for me to wait until it gets cold again before contacting her, since it will strengthen the connection, lower the psionic load stress between us, and give me time to mentally prepare myself in showing her around, even through the learning experiences.

As I walked around aimlessly absorbing the view while my mind quieted down some more, I made my way to the cafeteria building, since the bells activating were indicating lunch time. Since this was in the recreation area of the fields, there was no gender division on where to eat. I was simply glad to have the calming time and space to think, since I felt a little overwhelmed hours ago. Even though I was preparing to defend myself for something that wasn't my fault, nobody approached me about the almost incident. I was clear of any blame, since I was asked to deliver things in the first place.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XohBFfHa1
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JiSFS1Khe
But I didn't let those thoughts loom over me for long. All I could think about was contacting Lumina before I get myself something to eat. I went to the massive building that I needed to get to, observing its similar wooden design. There was a space far behind and underneath the stairs of entry that obscured the view of many.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQZoiFYdk7
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiPVMMuTw9
There was more than one reason I didn't contact Lumina in advance when I could have. The temperature earlier, which fluctuated for a while was only now stabilizing in the cold of fifty-three degrees Nixus, and I knew it would continue to gradually fall throughout the day thanks to a helpful weather report. Reason two was, I wanted to unpack my things first, getting myself comfortable. Reason three for my delays, is that contacting Lumina at all takes a bit of work and concentration on my part. As much as I try to hide my actions, I've noticed that it's virtually impossible to mask my visual behavior when projecting signals strong enough to reach my fiancée. If I were to try it with other students or teachers lurking around, facing me from the front, it would be obvious that I was doing something strange.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF5E49JwEH
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA9ToAKr95
Not wanting to be suspicious to anybody, I ducked under these stairs and found a good hiding spot that was out of view for most people. From here, I took note of my surroundings to make sure I was in the clear, before changing my stance for balance, and closing my eyes for the devotion of focus. The rushing cold winds around me made it easy for my body and mind to understand that I was in a cold environment, one that would make telepathy fully viable. I tried not to get too excited just yet, since I needed to concentrate on calling her first thing.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFIoiezjeC
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewZPYVHFoT
After about ten seconds or so, on flooding my thoughts and emotions deep into that part of myself that can psionically project, I heard Lumina call my name, as she desperately tried to take hold of the link and stabilize the connection for both of us.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wdUBmN39G

"Lumina!" My body suddenly quivered as I moved to cover my own mouth, looking all around me to make sure nobody heard my excited chant. I knew Lumina was just as happy to hear from me again, but I shouldn't take the risk of outing myself. "Lumina."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt7wLwWCPx
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxAj3Fmkxr
After a soft giggle to my own mistake, Lumina reminded me of something I didn't need anymore. "Use your brain, not your tongue."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpVWAXMGv8
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Xo55d0ujy
"I've arrived!" Changing the subject to show her around, while I stepped back into better view, I let Lumina absorb the wondrous views all through my eyes, knowing there would be much more to show her later.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU7mQXY5G5
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD80WtE2ESf
"I can see that. It looks really amazing!"135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7atpE0Lfd
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vGTLjO2qO
I felt like staying outside forever. All of the cold windy air around filled me with some strong exciting sensation as well as belonging. I started associating the feeling of cold air with Lumina a long time ago, so it felt really good to be outside in this with no jacket on, inexplicably so. The sensation almost threw me into a trance, while my body felt like it was surviving in a brave new way.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr4lpASlyk
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzBt3yU5e1
"I'll show you around some more, but right now, I have to go inside and get some lunch. I'll tell you about all the things I've seen already while I'm standing in line." I couldn't even wait one minute to chat up a storm with Lumina. I've been waiting for this very moment all morning, and now she's finally here with me!135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WqRl8mrZy
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVanweEF59n
In agreement, Lumina waited the patient minute it took for me to enter the building with the others, preparing to pick up a tray and gather some food. I was initially too slow to do anything though, since I needed to absorb the sight and design of the cafeteria building. It looked bigger and more spacious on the inside than the outside, an impressive display as expected.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHlxFvP3Pj
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZcS74zOf6
As I slowly decided on the food I wanted with only minor wait time to take my turn, I could hear the many loud conversations going on around and beside me. Naturally, I tried not to pay attention to most of them, since it was just random noise.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1EJSPAubu
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9y7ttkMzY
"Yeah, I'm telling you, that's exactly what happened! Any more than a few seconds, and she would have accidentally shown everything to him."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2v3m4vFfR
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rq5zaRCUF
I plopped the goopy scoop of food on my tray with a small sigh. "I see the mash potatoes are the only thing to look forward to today." I didn't take into account how picky I can be with food. The cafeteria here isn't much better than the ordinary school one back home.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3tkgqr9yc
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rXKqenF7v
"Quit complaining! We both have all day and night to enjoy this." Lumina quickly got all excited again; I could even feel her shaking a little with impatience and bliss. "To think, we're actually on a field trip so far away from home! It kind of feels like a honeymoon."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknOOlhxMcp
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQIa9KNEDS
I was little match for Lumina's romantic mood. Hearing the mere suggestion made me blush while imagining our days as she was trying to. In some strange way, she wasn't mistaken. I'll never get a better chance to have this much fun than this weekend. The idea of hanging out with Lumina while knowing we wanted to make it more romantic flooded my mind with dopamine, happy as I was already. "Maybe it will be. Nobody said the honeymoon has to happen after the wedding."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBFSleCTGS
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFbWiOmsJR
"He's standing right there!"135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeifcUrU2BV
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPkXQPQLJY
"Huh? You mean Reed?"135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7WBgNHK6A
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb2CyZZzgG
"Wha—" "Yes?" I turned around, confused by whatever commotion was going on behind me. I saw Laura and some other chick I didn't know giving me the stink eye, but I wasn't aware of their background conversation, since I was so focused on Lumina.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4laBikbzM
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTVPce793W
"Uh..." Laura, who looked as if she was seeing some kind of illusion, nodded a little, shaking away whatever thoughts she kept to herself. With the frown of legend on her face, she pointed her rear thumb behind her, towards the table she was sitting at. "Come sit with me when you get your food." Then, she just stormed off.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCVfy5DDFS
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZnZZtxaZm
"Okay?" Before I had a clue to what was going on, Lumina made her own passive observations.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatmZLLz8cH
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiNqYctpqh
"Looks like you're already getting popular here."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRiirhTVns
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvz64i2fmJ
"... No. Something's wrong. That didn't seem normal if you ask me." The way Laura looked at me, as if she couldn't decide whether to be upset or concerned told me something wasn't right. Plus, it was rare for me to ever see her without that laughing smile. Laura and her friends joke around so often, those giggling moods are what they're known for. "But whatever. I was going to ask you how the meeting went anyway, after finding somewhere to sit."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF64wgWGgyG
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuykqxh2KQq
Lumina answered my curiosity as I slowly walked over to their table without a care in the world. "The Queen accepted the invitation! She's going to be the one who declares our marriage herself."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bGNciTIE4
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZRYfvpsvT
"That's awesome! We actually have the queen's blessing on this one. So then, where is the wedding going to take place?"135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOCnaHsW9w
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIB3ztdgcj
"In the Altiri Temple of course. They're going to redecorate their throne room just for this event. I've never seen them redecorate for any other reason. This will be a once in a lifetime thing!"135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbQgZtH0MS
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXedekaFq4
"Awesome!" I knew I could trust Lumina to set things up properly. Knowing that the queen was on our side, after the laws Lumina broke in the past was also quite refreshing. I'm so excited, I can barely stand! In a month from now, I'll actually be married to Lumina!135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv0mUKtZ9F
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuNIa659qo
"So absolutely no headaches this time!" Lumina hollered her warning to me directly, as if it were a problem she expected to have come up.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRobTyfqYKM
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL5Mt3k4h8
I wasn't surprised she would worry about that detail. I myself was worried about such a conflict. My headache condition never did improve from before. I've been using Aspirin to deal with the recent ones, but Aspirin isn't working as well as it used to. I think I'm building up a tolerance to that medication. If I am, I'm screwed, since there is nothing else. "I promise, no headaches. I'll also make sure that day is cold in advance, just so we can be certain."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1qFgvNQh7
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tksPuQ4mh
"In just a month, we'll be husband and wife. It feels so perfect!"135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGluCSxgtJ
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOrSJTpZsC
I know Lumina, I know. I can't explain why it's so incredibly exciting for us to be getting married, but I wouldn't have it any other way. "That energy and spirit of yours has already just made my day. I love seeing you this excited Lumina. And I love you as well."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVx3VnBjfq
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYJj71H3xF
"Awh! I love you too Reed!"135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadCgpenrKc
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgPG8r1upf
I felt like I was floating in air by the time I managed to sit down at the large table. A few of the girls I knew were in front of me, plus a few strangers who were mostly not paying me any attention. I almost zoned them all out instantly, wanting to wrap myself in Lumina's happiness for eternity.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaYPEzcSIS
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnE4xTP2gC
"Hey Reed." Laura greeted me again, with the same demeanor she held before. The tone in her voice wasn't a happy one; I could tell she wasn't happy to see or talk to me, which kept me out of my imminent trance for a new curiosity.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhAGBOqj2q
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTiOAgSKht
Banarus teamed up against me too, getting to the point rather quickly with a stern attitude. "So... See anything fun earlier?"135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rSTq1Pffb
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNYhR4XtQ2
"Huh?" I didn't want to directly ask what this was about, but I knew there was some trouble brewing.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeUVY85qrW
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6MPSLoV9c
Banarus folded her arms in front of me before touching her food, her eyes staring daggers into mine as if I were hunted prey. "I know you think you can try to blend in with the girls, but if you think you can go peeping around, you've gone a mile too far!"135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVADHTQdAkq
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRLmeqVUUx
"Reed? What is she talking about?" Lumina was growing concerned too, finally realizing long after I did that something wasn't right with this situation.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyGEXwsaFF
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTp3z1AEVZ
"What are you all blabbing on about?" I didn't mean to come off as rude, but this was quite annoying. However, before Laura or Banarus could dig into me any further, the background thoughts I pushed back took the spotlight, reminding me what happened earlier, while lining up that event with their mysterious context. "You mean— Oh, come on! You know damn well I wasn't doing anything wrong. I didn't see anything, and I'm not some creep!"135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcAAvt1Rgy
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg1QkvgClr
When did this happen? I forgot to consider that while the chaperones managed to figure out I was technically innocent, the other girls of the cabin may not have been given the same context. I've seen just enough TV to know this won't end well, not if the entire school thinks I did something when I really didn't.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4YrDipNba
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ112GdcnqKl
"Weren't you trying to deliver something?"135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONdfL8lZPV
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqyZHt2A5y
That's right, Ashly was there too. She was the first person to recognize me, and she certainly spotted me holding all of that luggage in hand. Now that she's here at the same table, I have real support for the alibi. See? Not everyone is a headless drone.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfOC8aBiZd
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LeV6c59qt
"Reeeed?!"135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8Y24HclcH
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAqtvhBASi
The last thing I need is Lumina to start losing her mind, but I have to explain myself to the humans first. "Look. I was specifically instructed to hand deliver some things to Ms. Ray Ray, her personal belongings or whatever. I don't know what it was. All I did was locate her and deliver everything. I had no idea what else was going on around me besides that. Honest!"135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK8c8SqM33
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavhdLvMJ0i
"Oh no, no, no." Lumina face palmed gently as she listened to my brief summary of what happened.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjDhCZSqv4
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV2XuFfFB6
"So then you were ordered to?" Laura let out a visible sigh to relax. "Ooof! That's a relief for a lot of people here."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyjm77C605
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrcOiRGeAN
"Come on, is that what people think of me?" If this is all it takes to make all the girls on this trip hate me, when it wasn't even my fault to begin with, then I'm going to have a bigger problem with the world here.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPMWlZUwO3
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eyZq70xU8
"But who would even ask you to deliver something like that?" Banarus brought up a good point, something I didn't consider when I agreed to the task earlier, but I could just as easily answer that. It wasn't worth it to me to protect Ms. Quaker considering the possible punishment I would face by covering for her.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BM5WFB7cY
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAIyKb981B
"One of the teachers who knew me well enough to trust with that kind of thing. Still, Ms. Dang chewed me out the moment I stepped back outside. I was completely ambushed into that crap, so I don't want to hear any more about me trying to do something I know I would never do. The way I see it, I nearly got into nuclear trouble simply for doing what I was told." Ms. Quaker might be in nuclear trouble herself, but I only hope she's not. I get that she messed up, but she doesn't deserve to be punished for it. She knew I would never-ever think about taking advantage of other people, to any degree.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQDgw9GRsA
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRNYAEM9yN
"So let me get this straight!"135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt5eMJqZnS
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcoem8Ortj
Uh oh!135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh3B8FOJms
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxwdEH4x6Y
Lumina projected her voice as loudly as she could, slowly summarizing so that she could understand the stupidity of this morning, while I was certain to be in the doghouse for it. "You've only been here for one hour... And in the time I was gone, you just walked right into the girl's cabin?! Right where any one of them could have been changing clothes? Do you realize how much worse this could have been for you?"135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuKPIGENBo
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqETck2VAP
Without addressing to the others why, I felt myself sink down with every sentence that she yelled into my brain. Lumina sounded most like my own mother right now, when she was most angry and upset about something I did to disappoint her. But she must know I'm not lying! "Lumina! You know I would never–"135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KvhwfhyJI
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y0i620tw7
"I'll just stop you right there Reed. I'm not mad at you. I know already that you weren't trying to spy a glimpse."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHncYLNe8AK
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EWIyTcZad
"Oh..." So she already believes me then? I know it sucks, but why is she so mad at me for it? Her near screeching voice told me she wasn't simply over it.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3QxrHjYTK
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKoJEwnFOL
"It's just..." Lumina held the entire top of her head with her arms in pure frustration, letting out a panicked groan. "Sometimes, you can be so incredibly naive with things that it surprises me, and I'm supposed to know you best by now!"135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhqIXRx8li
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgrDmUXrHE
Naive huh? I hated being called that. It wasn't the first time I've heard such a thing. I can't fully argue back on her with this one; that's exactly what happened and why. "Look, I wasn't aware of the entire situation." If I had been more awake or given it more thought before agreeing, maybe I would have seen the light of reason sooner.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN3kS1e12l
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpcgiMRjWZ
"I figured as much. You agreed because you're always so helpful and polite. Your teacher probably knew you were not one to ever give into those kinds of urges; I'm betting that's why she tasked you with something so strange."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyxOnfgEUZ
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hgDrkJ2nr
Wow. Lumina read into this much faster than I could have, and she hasn't even met Ms. Quaker!135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK8N2Z0jTU
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZhHaVbpCh
"It's not good though Reed, even though it isn't your fault. Ms. Dang and Ms. Ray Ray probably don't see you the same way. They see most boys the same way most boys behave, as heathens or perverts. You're lucky you didn't get into any real trouble. Of course, if you did, you better believe you and I both would fight through hell to make sure you were absolved."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRVVFACsoK
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbGtOSaBbG
"But I'm not a heathen! The only person I would ever let myself see naked is you! You know that!" I felt a little odd saying that last part, but I knew it was true. Ever since Lumina came back from the first summer, my general interest in any and all other women have been sent to zero, romantically speaking. Lumina of all people knows that I'm nothing like that at all, nothing like a heathen!135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiDp0Xcc7M
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU476EE2IhW
"I know Reed, but... You and I seriously need to have a talk later tonight. You're too old to not know about certain aspects of humanity."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtse8k1oxR
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeThHlAtkg
"I've already had the talk." I don't need Lumina to try and educate me on what sex is or why people have it. I've known for enough years already.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntR12eyS02
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0xlVwLXVH
"I'm not talking about that talk. I'm talking about everything else related to it. Sensual cues, flirtatious language, even all the naughty words other kids your age tend to use, but most certainly all the situations that people think of when it pertains to this kind of stuff. You confuse and amaze me at the same time Reed. If it would have been anybody else, any other male being asked to deliver that luggage into the girl's cabin, it would have been obvious to anybody what was wrong long before he could get to the other side."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGzEEuAXpm
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNufC1jYQN
I just sighed in defeat. I didn't want to admit Lumina was right, not after she was telling me how naive I was, or about how much I didn't know. With the tone she was using now, I knew there was no way to convince her that I was getting by good enough... There have been enough times when the others have used new words in front of me, laughing at my own ignorance, only for me to find out much later. But was it really such a big deal?135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgX8cvVkAf
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrLX4aZuvd
Banarus planked her plastic cup down on the table, reminding me that she and the others existed as I was having an invisible conversation already. "It's a really good thing that we know you were only there to drop some things off. If it were anyone else getting involved like this, Laura and I would have had to give you a black eye."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HG27QCCkP
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTmdK4XgBi
"Thanks?" Conflicted between their combined threat and affirmation of my own innocence, I shrugged at them both, my smile faded beyond the troubling seriousness of it all. I figured this was a big deal before Lumina let me know. But if Lumina thought it was important, I had to reevaluate everything with stronger scrutiny.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVGJSi5NQe
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWoKfYSzAP
"It's not really a compliment," Lumina reminded.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sD8ykf1Pt
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFi9M6zk1U
"I figured that much. It's good that they know I'm not lying. Banarus and Laura might not be my actual friends, but I trust them enough not to spread lies about me knowing what really happened. Still, I could do without the insults."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqvNCCJ69U
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDLnI7n5LZ
"As I said before, you're too naive. But that's okay, because when I'm through with you tonight, I'll never have to worry about it again. You'll be reborn, knowing every sexual reference or euphemism!"135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSsXeAF99W
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uW2rIQNAY
"Right... What is a euphemism again?"135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1fQY7lSd4
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAp96W07PA
With another sigh, Lumina shut her eyes and nodded left to right. "I need a drink. Reprogramming you is going to take all my time and effort."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JbCJ521zS
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjJtqwC7bF
"But what about all the sights and events and stuff?"135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhSmHjcdjJ
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ2u51y5kR
"Divide and conquer Reed. There's no reason why we can't do both at the same time. With the amount of thoughts you have in your head at once, I know how much you can keep up with. It's not optional either you know. You're going to learn all the crazy things I learned through previous clairvoyance; no matter how uncomfortable it makes you."135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCLfTAAoV6
