After the first group, Miss Jessica announced the next group and I was very surprised when the names of: Andrea, Lara and Vanessa were called, they were the next team to participate in the challenge. I can't get out of my mind to worry about Lara but maybe she won't use her power as an advantage for them to win the obstacle. I knew her already from the moment we’ve met, she knows how to give to mortals and I also know that she has a pure heart to help those in need.
When they started, I whispered to him to cheer for the three of them, and he responded with a smile on her lips, which made me feel better. The three of them were holding hands and I noticed that Andrea and Lara were acting mortal and they were sliding down the trunk of the tree but they quickly recovered, Vanessa was in front of them who looked like she was the acting leader of their group. We were even surprised when they suddenly started singing while they slowly bridged along the trunk of the tree.
Lookin' in your eyes
I see a paradise
This world that I've found is too good to be true
Standin' here beside you
Want so much to give you
This love in my heart that I'm feeling for you
Lara caught a glimpse of me while she was walking along the trunk of the tree, Endrix noticed me so the rest of our colleagues got louder and louder but instead of being shy I joined the three young women in singing while clapping, I was happy to follow the lyrics of the songs and my classmates notice me until all of us were singing along, we thought at first that Miss Jessica would reprimand us and she would be angry at what we were doing but she just let us go, maybe she also likes the technique that the three young women did to strengthen the within each other. The song continued until the last lyrics of the song.
And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And that's where the time of the three of them ended.
"Time's up, Team A congratulations you got 30 minutes."
We all applauded and I hurriedly helped Lara to get down and I noticed that Vanessa was looking at us carefully so I thought of helping her get down from the trunk of the tree especially Andrea.
The next players followed, Kelly, Louise and Vincent, and we were worried about them because Kelly almost fainted while they were in the middle of the long trunk, fortunately our fellow nurse was able to support us then, immediately Kelly recovered but they couldn't catch up with the fast time, they got 60 minutes but despite everything they still supported each other as a team.
Next was the team of Danita Joy, Fritz Lawrence and Ford and Fritz's behavior was really annoying and shocking especially when he scolded Danita and Ford repeatedly when they almost fell from the trunk of the tree. I just found out that Fritz is not sport-minded, he likes to blame other people whenever he fails or gets hurt. Even if we wanted to mock him for what he was doing with his two members, we just kept quiet because we respect their team as well as Miss Jessica. Fortunately, they reached 50 minutes, but until the very end, he was still constantly blaming Danita and Ford, who he thought were the reasons why they didn't bridge the trunk of the tree quickly.
A few minutes later, Miss Jessica called us. The three of us got ready and started walking along the trunk of the tree. The three of us and our classmates became a bit of a joke when Endrix and Raim thought of dancing and dancing in the middle of our steps, I almost slipped and fortunately Raim held me tightly in the hand, I don't know if I would be annoyed or laugh at what they do, I feel like they don't take the obstacle challenge seriously but when the time was up and we finally got to the end of the tree, I was very surprised when Miss Jessica announced the time we used in the obstacle challenge.
"Congratulations Team D you got 20 minutes," our other classmates cheered us but Richard's group even John Carmelo frowned at us and really didn't even congratulate us.
"Ma'am, you are welcome. You know, as long as I can serve anything I will do, as long as it's for you." Raim said to Miss Jessica that our classmates made fun of them.
Miss Jessica raised an eyebrow at Raim and then she spoke.
"Mr. Raim are you a cockroach?"
"Well, why?"
"Because I want to kill you using my shoes,"
And then our classmates started teasing Raim while he just scratched his head.
A few minutes later we saw the arrival of Charles, with Mr. Molina, his color is still a bit pale but he still walks very well. Raim and Endrix were just surprised when Andrea suddenly greeted her to sit on the bench, I was shocked that the fairy probably had hidden love and care for my friend.
When he sat down on the bench we greeted him with a give-me-five and said hello before we refocused on the next group. We were happy that even though Charles didn’t reach us and watch us playing the obstacle challenge, he still managed to make an effort to come here even though his body was still a little weak just to support us as friends.
Next came TEAM B, Elvis and Jake, even though there were only two of them, they were able to bridge the top of the tree, followed by TEAM F, which consisted of Luther Edward, Mischa, Roldan and the last group to participate in the obstacle challenge was the TEAM E composed of John Carmelo, Monique and Cecile.
Before the lunch break, Miss Jessica gathered us all together and they announced each team's minutes in the obstacle challenge.
TEAM A – 30 minutes
TEAM B- 45 minutes
TEAM C- 40 minutes
TEAM D – 20 minutes
TEAM E – 50 minutes
TEAM F – 60 minutes
TEAM G- 50 minutes
TEAM H- 60 minutes
"At this point, we will only choose four winning teams that will have badges made up of different points: 1st place equivalent to 30 points, 2nd place got 25 points, 3rd place got 20 points and the 4th place got 10 points. So, the 1st place goes to TEAM D, while the 2nd place goes to TEAM A, 3rd place goes to TEAM C and the 4th place goes to TEAM B. Congratulations,"
We shouted and hugged each other as friends especially the other teams that won our obstacle challenge, the losing teams were happy for us except for Richard and John Carmelo who look like bitter, sour grapes and don't know how to accept of any loss.
Lara hugged me tightly but soon Vanessa saw our sweet moments with Lara again and I noticed again that she looked embarrassed and had a little sadness in her eyes, she just shook hands with me and then went to her other friends.
It was not yet all over the merriment when Miss Jessica spoke again.
"Later night at exactly 7:00 pm we will have a Victory ball where a little party will take place in the hall, I hope everyone will participate and join together before we finish our program tomorrow, and now we will return to the base for can have lunch. Thank you guys and see you this evening."
After he spoke, we started walking towards where we were staying.
We partied, and after freshening up, we got ready for the party that will take place tonight. No attire was mentioned so we just wore casual clothes.
In the evening I just wore a polo shirt and pants and rubber shoes as well as the outfit of my friends, we went together to the big hall where we noticed that the whole hall looked like a disco party, there were different disco lights , cocktail foods and table foods. There we met Lara, Andrea and Cecile and we were really fascinated by their looks, Lara was wearing a floral dress and she really looked like a mortal teenager and I couldn't hide my admiration for her classic beauty, especially she looked fairy with her wavy brown hair. Looks like I'm falling in love with her beauty again.
Suddenly a love song played and I thought of making Lara dance, when I looked behind me Charles and Andrea were dancing next as well as Raim with Miss Jessica wearing a bodycon sexy red dress.
Lara and I stared at each other and that's when I felt the thrill in my whole body. I felt like it was just the two of us on the dancefloor, we claimed the beautiful music all around, I closed my eyes and savored every moment as I held her waist tightly. I hope the whole night will be just for us because we don't want to let go of each other, but everything was just a fantasy when suddenly the music ended and we both got out of each other's bodies.
Andrea approached us.
"Lance, can I borrow Lara for just a few minutes? We have something important to discuss." Andrea's question was calm so I immediately responded to her.
"Sure,"
The two women went to one side together and then they talked. I went to my friends who were sitting at the round table while drinking pineapple juice.
"Wow, Raim, you're a perfect young man. You're not stupid anymore because you've danced with Miss Jessica. Haha," said Charles laughing.
"Of course, I'm a gentleman to her."
"Oh, you really didn't look at her healthy breasts? You didn't imagine? Haha." Endrix was teasing him so he threw a tissue at Raim's face which made way for us to laugh.
I briefly glanced in the direction of Lara and Andea and I noticed that they seemed to be arguing, Andrea was trying to explain something to her but Lara wasn't listening to her and I could see that she was a bit irritated by her request, I didn't want to interfere but she didn't that I saw was beautiful so I immediately approached them.
"What's wrong? Are you two fighting?" I asked them both.
The two women stopped talking a little, Lara tried to avoid, she grabbed my hand and hurriedly left.
"Wait, wait, what's going on?" I was confused and kept Lara from leaving until Andrea tapped me on the shoulder.
"Lance, you have something to know."
Andrea caught my attention.
"Andrea, please don't tell him." Lara begs Andrea.
"What? What should I know? What are you talking about Andrea?" I'm confused, are they hiding something from me? Why is Lara preventing Andrea from revealing a truth to me? What should I know?
"Lance, it's not true that we just visited you here on earth. The truth is that Princess Aurora and I left the kingdom because they had a fierce argument with the dear king because of me,"
My eyes widened.
"What?"
Lara was angry with Andrea.
"Why did you tell Lance? Didn't I tell you that we will keep this a secret because we don't want Lance to get into trouble."
Andrea's facial expression looked sad.
"Dear princess, please forgive me but my conscience can't take it anymore. Also, the dear queen has already spoken to me. She and the dear king are worried about our condition here on earth, they ordering me to send you back in the kingdom."
Lara and I stared into each other's eyes and I could see the fear, apprehension and worry in her eyes as she stared intently at me while she was still holding my hands.
"Why did you have to lie and not tell me the whole truth right away and manage to keep a secret from me?" I asked him.
"I'm sorry Lance, I don't want you to worry about me and I don't want you to be in harm's way." Tears began to fall from Lara's eyes.
