Anna Lu - Chapter 43 Lost In The Forest 1
“Anna dear, are you nervous?” Eve asked concerned, the girl was still lost in though even after the ceremony was over.
“Huh?…..no, no” Anna shook her head. Eve sighed in relief and looked signaled Scarlet who was standing next to her “Take her to the first instructor for this week” Eve then turned to look at Anna “We won’t be seeing each other for a while so good luck!” Eve said before leaving in a hurry.
“Don’t mind Eve, they always have a party to celebrate the trainees right after the ceremony. Even though the trainees aren’t actually invited” Scarlet said, Anna giggled. That explains why the woman was practically running.
“Are you ready?…..the first training is always a test so I’m guess the first instructor should be…..** ”
Anna raised her eye brows”Justin Bieber? ”
Scarlet burst into a fit of laughter “No….his name is literary Jaybee” Scarlet said wiping the tears at the corners of her eyes.
Anna nodded and took a deep breath ‘This is the first step’ Anna followed behind Scarlet.
They walked till they reached where the crowd was gathered, the women looked excited while scarlet shook her head. They had no idea what they were in for.
“Hello Ladies, I am your first instructor for this week and we are going to be doing a test today” ** noticed all the women sighing and he struggled to hold his laughter “Not a paper kind of test” he said making everyone’s expression drop.
Well some some women didn’t mind as they were busy admiring their well muscled instructor. Well, Jaybee was really handsome. He looked like a man who had spent half his years working hard in a field as he looked extremely manly and dangerous. Little did they know….this man was a softie.
“You all see this forest of trees behind me?”
The women looked behind him and nodded, the forest seemed really thick as one could hardly see the beach from here.
“Well, you’re all gonna go in groups of three and the first group to make it to the beach is the winner” ** said smiling at the women.
“OMG I’m going to faint he just smiled at me!”
“Nope he was smiling at me?”
Listening to the conversation of the women next to her, Anna wanted this test to start already. “Is that all?” she asked surprising **
“huh?….yeah yeah, that’s it!”
** looked at Anna intently before he continued “But, apart from your groups, the first person to make it to the beach will be rewarded finely but, it doesn’t mean you should kill the peopleyou entered with.” he joked but a sly smile formed on his lips when he noticed the expression of a few women. Just one look and he knew those were the ones to betray their own groups.
“So, chooseyour group mates everyone, you have 20 minutes”
** said before walking away, he was curious to see who was going to pick who.
“Hi…can we…join your group?”
Anna looked at both the girls standing in front of her she thought she was going to go blind.
They were wearing such colorful clothes, bunny ears, glittering earrings and necklaces.
“Uh…., why are you both wearing thesame clothes?”
The taller girl blushed “Oh….this is Kate and I am Ruby. We are besties ” she said giggling.
Anna smiled….tried to. She knew there was more to this test than just reaching the beach, if these girls decided to follow her she will end up distracted to whole time.
Anna laughed nervously and looked around, she spotted a girl wearing completely black clothes ‘She doesn’t seem to have a group..’
Anna quickly held the girl’s hand and pulled her to her side
“She is already in my group so I only need one more person….sorry girls” Anna said while smiling apologetically to the girl she just pulled over
“Yeah….crazy girl and I are teammates so we can only pick one of you” The girl in black said, Anna was relieved.
“No way….we can’t be separated” Kate said before holding her friend’s hand and walking away.
“I’m really sorry, its just that…..”
“They’re blinding your eyes?” The girl in black asked smiling, Anna couldn’t help but feel that the girl’s smoke was really pretty.
Anna nodded.
“Well, since you’ve made me your teammate, we just need one more person to…..ouch!”
A really young girl was running and bumped into the girl in black by accident.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…” The girl apologized, she looked somewhat nervous.
“Are you okay?” Anna asked. The girl quickly hid behind Anna.
“Please take me along….they’re after me”
Seeing how scared the girl was, both girls hid the young girl in between them.
“So are you guys ready?”
They were tiny screams from annoying fan girls but apart from that everyone nodded.
** smiled at the women before he stated to count down from 5.
Once he said zero, all of them rushed into the forest to begin the race.
Once they were already out of sight from others, the girls finally distanced themselves.
“What’s your name?” Anna asked the girl who was shivering
“A..Angel, I’m fourteen years old. Nice to meet you!” The girl bowed.
The girl in black laughed and shook Angel’s hand “I’m Amber”
Anna’s eyes widened “Our names all start with ‘A’ ?” Anna said looking at them in surprise.
Amber stared at the bracelet on Anna’s wrist “Anna huh?….that’s a nice name”
The trio decided that it was best to win the race first before having proper introductions.
“Which way do we go?”
Anna shrugged, everyone else were taking different paths.
“Let’s just keep going straight.”
