Like the snow

Chapter 42

*Keita's P.O.V*

"Hey Shiroi … still tired? You're not skipping the trip, are you?"

I sent a reminder message to her, few minutes later I got the reply

"What trip?"

She got to be kidding me … "Come on Shiroooi you forgot already!! The camping! please tell me you're going …"

"Ah … I see …"

Well, I took her silent as agreement

Later at school she was indeed there

I was so excited but she showed no different expression

In our way I tried to talk to her as often as I could

After a while we got out of the bus as we arrived, it was a cloudy day with refreshing cold breeze

As the teacher informed us, we had to go through the forest to reach the camping location

We were warned not to wander too far because it might be dangerous but once I saw the shiny beautiful white petals, I couldn't help breaking the rule

"Hey Shiroooi" I whispered "take a look at that"

She came closer as I continued: "Your favourite daisies ~ they look so pretty under the cloudy blue sky, don't they?"

After staring for a while she commented: "Yeah, pretty"

Once we were done gazing, we realized that everybody else have left, continuing their way to the camping location

"Uhhh okaay … are we lost?"

She looked around for moments "seems so"

"Let's take the right path!"

"How come you're saying that so confidently?"

"The right path should be the right one, right?" I laughed

She glared at me "You're still laughing in such a situation?"

"Take it easy ~ we'll be there in no time ~" I smiled

……………

Time passed, it got dark and we still haven't found our way

We kept walking with slow steps, low breaths and noisy heartbeats

A little while later I heard a sound of falling that kinda startled me, I turned around

"Shiroi! are you okay?"

"Ah … yeah … my foot tripped with something"

I asked her about whether she could walk or not

Although she said yes but it was obvious that she couldn't

"Get up" I crouched infront of her

"I said I can walk on my own …"

"Shiroi" I said with my tone getting more serious

"We both know that you can't … now, put your pride aside and get up … it's for your sake"

She hesitated a bit but she did what I said

"It won't be not my fault If you hurt your back" she mumbled

"I won't, I have a strong body ~ and you're not even heavy"

Just when I thought "it couldn't be any worse" it started raining

Juuust GREAT

It was raining so heavily and the wind started getting stronger, turning fast from a nice cloudy day to a rainy storm

After a while of walking carefully, I found a cave and got in hoping that it'd be a safe one

I put Shiroi down, quick checked it then returned to her

Luckily there was no wild animals or anything … and we had no choice but to spend the night here

I took off my shirt while facing the other side

"Um … you would catch a cold If you kept …… your clothes on …"

"I'm not cold … at all"

She was lying again … I could feel the shivers from her voice

"I cross my heart … I won't look"

I sat down, still facing the other side

A bit later, my breaths fastened and my heart was almost jumping out of my chest as I could hear the sound of the clothes sliding off her body …
