(Why do people roast marshmallows over a fire? Why not another food? Have you ever thought about that? The reason is actually that a culture spreads everywhere due to popularity. Anyway, the real story is what happened today—like how I got severely bullied by a girl and got a nickname… And why are camps done in groups instead of individually? What's the purpose of that? Is it just to make this chapter more readable? Nothing I can do about it, I guess. Maybe I can ask the teacher for a solo camp.)
Our character stood up from his seat and walked to the guidance teacher, who was sitting with the other teachers.
****: "Sir, can we talk?"
The guidance teacher turned toward him.
Guidance Teacher: "Of course. What's it about?"
****: "About the camp... Can I stay in a tent alone?"
Guidance Teacher: "Why do you want to stay alone? Do you have a problem with your partner?"
****: "No, sir. I just want to be alone."
Guidance Teacher: "Ahhh, we give you guys opportunities, but you don't even realize it."
***: "But—"
Guidance Teacher: "There aren't any extra tents, so get along with your partner."
Failing to convince the teacher, our character returned to the campfire. At that moment, students from other classes had also gathered around the fire. Something was being discussed.
Sophie: "Guys, calm down! They're trying to provoke us. If we do something to the other schools, we'll get punished or face disciplinary action. We came here to have fun!"
Leo: "You don't get it, Sophie! They openly asked for a fight, man. We have to respond, right, Michael?"
Before Michael could say anything, someone suddenly interrupted—it was Anna.
Anna: "What do you mean, 'we don't get it'? They straight-up insulted us! Do you think you're above us just because you act like some tough guys?"
Anna's words escalated the tension between her and Leo, and a fight broke out. Just as things were about to get out of hand, Michael stepped in.
Michael: "Guys! Calm down and speak one at a time. I agree with Sophie. If we cause trouble, it'll backfire on us. You get that, right?"
With Michael's words, the fight came to an end. Our character watched from the back, listening to everything unfold…
