Niccolo PoV
The helpers have gone down a while ago and it's already seven two.
"Where are they?" Loke consciously asked himself while opening a can of beer.
"Hey,that's pretty early."
"It's ok,I got a healthy liver."
He laughed and give me a can of beer.
"This is gonna be an awesome weekend.I mean,I think they just opened a hot spring."
I took a sip.
"Really?That's great. How far is it?"
Loke took our map and drink his beer.
"Hmmmm....." he started pointing to different parts of the map.
"....I think here...." he showed me a certain point.
"....its just....hmmm....30 meters below us,I think"
"You think? That's a great calcution,though."
"They really took their time,don't you think?"
"Yes,I agree."
We waited for a couple of minutes and the others haven't arrived yet.
"For f*ck sakes,where are those peo---"
He stopped when his phone rang.
"Who is it?"
He looked at the name.
"It's Mika."
he said loudly and pick his phone.
"I'm about to call!"
he raised his voice.
When he hears nothing from the other line,Loke turns on the loud speaker.
"Where the hell are you,you stupid?!!!!!" Mika raised her voice on the other side.
Loke was surprised that he widen his eyes for a moment.
"Sorry.sorry.....Where are you? I've been waiting here for an hour? Nic's with me."
He said.
We've been waiting here since five o'clock.
Where in this frickin town are those stupid f*ck???
Where might their b-----
I hurriedly look my phone and I muted my notifications so I didn't read Mika's text.
Loke's f*cked up,man.
"Where are you?!!!!!" Mika asked.
Loke let put a deep sigh.
" At the mountain foot,darling. Where are you?"
"You stupid!!!!! We all agreed to our meeting place.
And it's not the f*****g foot,you i***t.
I texted that we meet in front of Coffee Brain."
He did not answer for a couple of seconds.
"Loke." I whispered.
He look to me and I give him my phone.
"She texted.We mute it."
" I never receiv---" he pauses.
"I accidentally muted my notifications,babe"
Loke giggled.
"Sorry for my words.I'm pissed right now."Mika apologised before ending the call.
" Let's go."
"Where?" Loke asked.
"To the foot,idiot.We're gonna pick up those late motherf*uckers."
We ride our snowmobile so we can go downuch faster than walking.
Snowmobile is allowed for atleast five person above group of campers.
We arrived at the foot five minutes earlier.
They still haven't arrived.
"How long are we gonna wait for those people?"
"Be patient,Nic."
A few more minutes and they still haven't arrived.
I was sweaty when we reach the mountains entrance.
We paid for our own walkie talkies because our phone is useless for calling since it will be a hell to find a signal before we enter the mountain.
We also brought two radios and batteries for emergencies.
Before we got to enter the mountain range,Loke and I go to the restrooms and change our clothes for hiking with scarfs and jackets and gloves.The preferred type of the Mt.Havaleine caretakers.
Loke got a black jacket.
He also wear a hat.
Thick Hat.
It's gonna be a cold weekend for us.
I got my favorite jacket.
We also bought instant noodles,waters and instant coffee and tea.
Loke got a text from Mika that they have arrived and they want us to pick them up.
In which we already waited here,for twelve minutes
It's been eight minutes before I saw them at the entrance from the backdoor which will lead us to the opening scenery.
The close up figure of Mt.Havaleine.
The guy who accompany me and Loke is their to once again lead us to our camping site.The government did this so the accident twelve years ago won't happen again.
They added new rules like:
•Always bring a fifteen meter rope.
•Walkie talkies should be carried everywhere and not
to be lost.
•Guides should be with the camperss every eighteen hours after reaching their camping site.(Guides can come home after an hour and a half with their assigned campers.)And should guide them;from and to.
•Never leave the group for more than twenty feet.
•If it's only one camper or two a local resident of Sciroco should be with them fifteen feet away.
And there is a lot that I can't remember but we a little pamphlet to look.
We have all the things we need.
It took us five minutes to reach the foot since the girls are walking and stopping for goddamn thirty seconds.
I helped Loke to discharge our equipments.
It has been a silent moment when Loke spoke.
"So...Kris what were you doing at Levy's house?"
he said while passing the tents to me.
Vehicles are not allowed to be drivin' in the mountain for it has a possibility to wake an avalanche.So we put it to our snowmobile.Mika and the others got their snowmobiles along with the things they bought.
Before answering Kris looks at Levy.
Something must have happened.
I have no idea.
"I was just worried that Levy might be very sick so I came to watch over.That's all."
What a liar.
"So,where did the two of you go for your anni?"
I ask Mika.
I didn't want to end the word anniversary because it always remind me of Lucy.
Honestly,I am not scared that I'm gonna live lonely for the rest of his life.
I still lives in the past,anyway.
"So guys,today will be the day that we'll remember for the rest of our life.I want you guys to enjoy our camping trip."
It's my speech everytime we had a camping trip.
We arrived to our camping site with mine and Loke's things are all arrange.
"Now let's rest for a couple of minutes before we start." Kris said while grabbing a beer.
"I'll cook."Dean voluntarily says.
It's already eight forty eight when Dean finished cooking.
He cook something that smells good.
It is Jean and Mika's favorite.
It's a hot pot.
We enjoyed our food as we laugh to jokes.
Nine nineteen.
Levy and Kris cleaned our tables and washes the plate.
We have a restroom just a few meters below us.
So we don't have to bring washing equipments.
I helped Jean on preparing her tent since she bought new type and which case,she doesn't know how to prepare.
Even geniuses have things they didn't know.
It's already eleven in the noon after we set up our camp.
