277 Bonding Through The Ages (1)
(Jane’s PoV)
Sanji used his authority as a lecturer to join the activity of Civil Engineering Departnt. Well, he wasn’t the only one outside the Civil Engineering’s area, actually. Since he was handso and had many admirers, of course the other lecturers and the committee let him co with us. His victorious smile was quite annoying to see, but I believed he did so to annoy the hell out of Tom.
Talking about Tom, that man was sulking when I told him that I was going to have a three days outing class and Sanji was going to follow there since he was a lecturer. Since the camping site was locked from any outsider during the event, there was no way he could go there with his identity. He couldn’t find any reasons to be with us and Siji seed to have plans for him as well. So, even if he found any reasons to co with us, I believed he would still follow Siji’s plans since that Advisor told him that it was beneficial for our next mission in the Grand eting.
It was unfortunate that he couldn’t join us, but it was for the best.
The road to the camping site took nearly thirty minutes by bus. I was separated from Sanji since he went with the other lecturers -he insisted to be on the sa bus with but his identity as a non-civil engineering’s lecturer didn’t allow him to do so. The Dean clearly said before our departure that this trip was ant to create a friendly bonding between students and to clearly understand the role of each person. There would be no aningless provocation and pressure physically. It should be a rather peaceful trip and for what I saw so far, it was pretty harmonious within the bus I was in.
Since Sanji and Siji manipulated so of my acquaintances, other than Senior Dino and Mia, I didn’t really know anyone else. It was like I returned to the first ti I entered the college. I had to start over in getting to know everyone.
No worries, I consoled myself. I should take things slow this ti.
By the ti we reached the camping site, I had made three friends, excluding Mia who was basically almost inseparable from Senior Dino. The first one was the shy junior, Alivia. Even though she was shy -totally the opposite of the stereotype of an engineering student -she was willing to join this event to get rid of her shyness and to gain more self-confidence. What a great purpose!
The second one was a bit surprising for . It was the aloof girl from my year. Her na was Yuni. I wasn’t close to her even when we entered the college at the sa ti since I thought she was too hard to approach. Also, we weren’t on the sa class so I couldn’t find any reason to get close to her even if I wanted to. She exuded a cold and withdrawn aura which made her look arrogant and unapproachable. This ti, however, she proved wrong. Sitting next to her made realize that she wasn’t a cold person. She was just shy by nature and didn’t know how to start a conversation.
.....
I was the one who started our conversation, of course, and slowly she started to open up. Since I practically had never talked to her before, her mory about was still intact. After the initial awkwardness, we finally got close due to our sa interest. Who would have thought this girl was so fond of supranatural things related to the history of lands to the point I wanted to ask her the point of her joining civil engineering. But, when I talked to her about any lesson in civil engineering, her bright eyes turned serious, yet I could discern from her voice that she took her choice of entering the departnt seriously and joyfully. There was no pressure. She enjoyed both the engineering and the supranatural things almost equally and she put a clear distinction between the both of them.
The third one was a senior, her na was Daisy. She was a feminine, lady-like, and friendly woman. Her entire being from head to toe scread the sexual appeal of a woman. I rembered I used to hear the na of ‘The Goddess of Civil Engineering’. If Alivia was the opposite stereotype of civil engineering students’ confidence and dare-devil behavior, Daisy -she forbid to call her Senior -was the total opposite of the stereotype of female students in any engineering departnts.
The most formal clothes she would wear was culottes pants or pencil skirt and a shirt. Sotis, when she wanted to be a bit casual, she would wear a pair of sneakers. She would even wear a knee-length body-hugging dress with an outer along with her sneakers. There were also tis when she paired the dress with a pair of high heels. She was like a model student, yet she still looked aweso in those attires even when she was carrying her equipnt.
In other words, she was a fem fatale. Despite her charming appearance, she also had a lovely personality. She was strong yet so girly at the sa ti. To be honest, her confidence and self bearing attracted towards her so much and I think both Alivia and Yuni would agree with on this. After all, for soone who was practically emitting such a strong aura of confidence, that was what the other two were hoping for themselves.
After reaching the camping site, I found out that the committee and the owner of the site had prepared lots of tents for us. It was big enough for four people and -intentionally or not -we needed to team up with the others from different year. Since we t the requirents, the four of us agreed to be a team. I thought, it would be great teaming up with great people.
So we headed to the camping area with the a package of tent in our hands. Since our team was ford faster than the others, we had the privilege to pick the best spot for us. We chose the place not too far from the entrance just in case we needed an ergency exit. Then, we set up our tent.
Daisy showed us that she wasn’t just a pretty face. She really got skill! How could a perfect woman like her exist? I really wanted to worship her seeing her swiftly connected every piece as if it was perfectly normal and easy for her. The rest of us combined wouldn’t be able to be as fast as her in setting up a tent. She was truly fascinating!
After the matter of setting up our tent had done, we decided to take a walk around the periter. There were sidewalks and direction board nearby. I even thought that I saw a map on the registration building. We needed to know where the toilet and bathroom as well as other places in the site. The camping site itself was surrounded by the many tall teak trees. It was easy to get lost inside a teak forest if not for the existence of the sidewalks and the direction boards.
Even so, it was still best to be careful. After all, ghost in the forest was different from the ghost in the city.
