Chapter 11
We get moving up the mountain. Myst fell asleep in my arms. I squeezed her tightly and marched forward. "When are we going to stop?" Anthony asked, "I'm tired, hungry and I need some more water"
"Anthony, stop your whining," Gabriella snapped.
"Shut up Gabriella!" Bruno said rolling his eyes.
Before Gabriella could shoot back, Mason stepped in. "You guys calm down," he said, "Anthony is right, we should settle down. It's getting dark out. Gabriella, Bruno, you two need to at least forgive each other. You are acting like a couple of babies"
Gabriella stomped her foot and pouted. I rolled my eyes as Mason and Zeke started to set their stuff up. Anthony, Bruno and I started helping Zeke and Mason with our stuff while Gabriella refused to do anything with us. She found a spot a good ten feet away from our spot and set up her stuff. I had Myst sleeping in our tent. Gabriella fell asleep in her sleeping back beside where her fire had been as the rest of us stayed up telling stories and jokes all night.
Myst had woken up about half-way through our night and sat with us. She wore my hoodie, which was way to big for her, and cuddled next to me as we ate s'mores. "I think it's time for someone to go back to sleep," I teased as she yawned.
She looked up at my and stuck her tongue out. I laughed and tickled her. "Stop it!" she giggled.
She wiggled as she tried to get out of my grip. She finally escaped and ran into our tent. I laughed as she peeked out with a small smile on her face. "I'm coming," I told her standing up.
"I guess we should get to bed if we want to get a good start tomorrow," Mason said, standing up as well.
Anthony, Bruno, and Zeke nodded. We all walked to our tents. When I walked into mine, Myst ran over to where we had put our sleeping bags. I walked over to her and unzipped our sleeping bags. I zipped them so that they were one giant sleeping bag and laid down inside of it. "Come here," I said, motioning to the spot next to me.
She crawled into the sleeping bag and cuddled into my side. With a yawn, she looked up at me and kissed me on the cheek. I smiled at her and gave her a kiss on the nose. She giggled and cuddled even closer to me. It wasn't long before I heard her small snores. I squeezed her tightly and laid there. We are halfway through break, I thought to myself, and we're not even close to being done with our trip. Where the hell is Mason taking us?
As soon as I thought that, Mason walked into my tent. "Hey," he whispered.
"Hey", I replied with a small smile.
" How much longer do you guys have?" he asked.
I knew what he was talking about. During our way up after Myst had met the mermaid, I had told him that we were on break and didn't have too much longer left. "Right now, we are about half-way through break," I told him, "We can finish going up the mountain and camp in the cabin for a couple of days. Then we can walk back down"
He nodded. "I was just wondering. I kind of don't want to get in trouble for you guys leaving late," he said, making me laugh.
"Don't worry," I said, "We will make it down on time"
He nodded again before leaving my tent. I soon closed my eyes and fell asleep. I couldn't wait to get started in the morning.
