The scorching sun above the sky at noon, students who are in the cla.s.sroom holding their portable fan while writing down the notes on the board given by the teacher. Not to mention the air humidity making the students all groggy and tired. They all wish cla.s.s will end soon so they could go home and lay on their cool, comfy bed.

Teachers in the school are no exception to the suffering of the heat wave, they had to think of something. Maybe to reward the student. Students watch the hands on the wall clock in their cla.s.sroom a few more seconds till school ends.

3..2..1

Ring~

All the students quickly stood up and cheer, the teacher slam the table " Did I say you can leave? " The students face all turn to a frown " Teacher, please don't give extra homework! We want to have a peaceful summer vacation! "

The teacher's eyebrows twitch " You guys are getting more daring because of the heat huh? I guess you don't want to know about the school trip? "

The students face brightens up " School trip?! Where are we going teacher? Tell us ! "

" I thought you all one to go home first ? " the teacher teases. The students groan and apologise. " Qin Yang, will explain to you. " the teacher signals her to come in front. Before lunch break, all Year 2 cla.s.s presidents had a meeting in the student council room together with the teachers. Since next year will be the final year and it will be stressful for the Year 2 students especially college exams. Within the budget, the school planned to take the Year 2 students somewhere to play and of course the one of the main reason is character building.

" As you all know, every year the school will bring Year 2 students somewhere for school trip aka camp. This year we are going to a reserve forest for camping. You will be split in to 5 groups. Each group will care out tasks. There will be a detailed explanation on the first day. " Qin Yang explains with a folder in her arm.

The cla.s.s once again became noisy, this time they whine " That is not a vacation ! Teacher, you lied to us. This is torture! I rather stay at home. " The teacher glare at the student coldly " Qin Yang is not done yet. Don't interrupt her. "

Qin Yang clears her throat and smile " We will go there for a week. 7 days no more no less. On the last day, we will pack up and head to the beach to play. You will have free time to yourself." The whole grins from ear to ear " Why didn't you say that earlier ?! Of course we will go ! "

" Yeah ! I heard the beach in B city is beautiful "

"We can watch the sunset ! "

" Let's go snorkelling ! "

" Oh yes ! We can see the girls in swimsuit "

The teacher clears her throat before the others get to far " Attendance is compulsory. Those who didn't attend will sweep the school garden after school for the rest of the year. "

Qin Yang continued " During the camp, there will be cla.s.s compet.i.tion so please take care of your health before it starts as they maybe extreme activities "

No one dares to absence especially after they heard they had to clean the school garden. The school garden is half the football field and worse there is a grumpy old man who takes care of it. Thinking about it sounds like a nightmare. The teacher know what is going on in their mind, she knows the won't skip it " Ok. Cla.s.s dismissed. "

All the students rush out one by one, leaving only Zhou Qin Yang and the teacher. The teacher pats on her shoulder " I have troubled you. "

" It's okay teacher. It's my responsibility. " she gave an a.s.sured smile. The teacher then remembered " Ah ! Lee Jun Ting has to come along too. Attendance is compulsory, the princ.i.p.al has his father's permission already. The only thing left is to convince him. "

Zhou Qin Yang sighs " Yes. I understand. " Who else but her right ?
