{ I HATE YOU MOON }
Poppy saw miss cherry walking towards them in a haste and she quickly faced Alec.
” Where should I hide!. She’s coming, Alec. Oh no!” She panicked silently.
” Be calm” Alec said, staring at her seriously.
” No. I’m in soup. She’s gonna kill me, I have to hide!!” Poppy said and grabbed his coat open, trying to hide inside him.
” Poppy. Stop behaving like a kid” He pulled her out and Poppy quickly palmed her face fearfully.
” Don’t tell me to open my eyes even if she comes” She said and Alec sighed hotly, putting his hands into his pocket.
Miss cherry approached them and pointed the torch at their faces.
” Alec?. Poppy????.” She almost yelled and Poppy dropped her hands, stiffing them.
” I can explain” She said making a puppet face.
” What do you have to explain?. we kept worrying about you. Do you know we had to stop the bus on our way here just to search for you at school!” Miss cherry yelled.
” I’m so sorry” She said, rubbing her arm while looking at Alec like he was now her only saviour.
” What brou-ght you to the boy’s quater?” Miss cherry asked her.
” Alec made me come here” She said and Miss cherry looked at him.
” Alec?”
” She’s right. I am the one who forced her to come here” Alec spat, staring at Poppy with the corner of his eyes.
Poppy sighed and turned to Miss cherry.
” I wanted to be close to Alec so I had dressed like a boy just so that we could be….together and so that no one would find out” She said.
” Dressing like a boy and living in their midst just to be with your friend?. The girls camp is just a few walks from here, you can still see him every day” She said.
” I was never thinking of it that way” She said lowly.
” Poppy. You are aware that you just violated the school rules hugely and i’m sure you know the consequences?” She said.
” Conse….Consequences?” Her face turned awful as she stared at her.
” Yes. I’ll collect your card number and you’ll return home tomorrow after being punished” She said and her eyes wide-ned.
She quickly held miss cherry’s hand and won’t let go of it.
” Please I beg you in Pete’s sake, please don’t let the principal know about this. Please I don’t want to go home yet, please miss cherry. I promise to be a good girl throu-ghout the trip. I promise” She plead.
” Oh really?. You promise to be a good girl?” Miss cherry asked smiling cheekily.
” Yeah. I promise to be good. I won’t cause any problem at all. I’ll read my books. I won’t fight too” She shaked her heads as she spoke.
” I like that.” She smiled. ” Go pack your things immediately. You are moving to the girls camp” She said and Poppy sighed before walking into the boys tent.
Miss cherry quickly faced Alec and her beautiful smile returned.
” Alec. I finally left xylan.” She said.
” Oh. That’s a little achievement” He said.
” No it’s not. Cos, I still like him. And he likes me too including his kid. The thing keeping us far away from eachother is that he’s married” She said.
” You should probably follow your heart, miss cherry.”
” But my heart seeks xylan a lot, but I’m scared cos of his wife” She said sadly.
” It all kinda complicated” He said.
” Yeah. Love is something else” She laughed but Alec could see sadness in the pit of her eyes.
Meanwhile, Poppy leaped into the tent and the boys turned their head to stare at her.
She took out her hood and exposed her girly body. Her hair fell on her shoulder and some of them got blinded by her adorable beauty.
” Poppy?” Axel gasped shockingly as he stood.
” Poppy?” Kookie said slowly, looking at her lovingly. He knew that bite on his neck was familiar that’s why he felt somehow.
” Yep. it’s me. Surprise, surprise” She smiled sadly waving her hands.
All the boys suddenly burst into a large row of laughter and she pouted her li-ps cutely, wondering why.
” Wait guys. How come we didn’t notice it was you dressed like a boy?” Axel asked and Poppy crossed her arm on her chest.
” Well, cos your brain and eyes don’t work together!” She yelled and the boys laughed at Axel.
She squated and pulled out her luggage from under the bed.
She zipped it up and stood up.
” Where are you going?” Axel asked before she could turn away.
” Girls camp” She said giving lazy eyes.
” Haha. You were being caught!” Axel said but no one found it funny.
Poppy left afterwards and Kookie found a purse that dropped while she was leaving.
He went over it and picked it up.
He got to his bed and sat down before going throu-ghwhat was inside. He found a pack of sanitary pads, a love boat drawing paper and a dairy book inside.
He sighed and dropped it back into the purse before hiding it under the pillow.
***
GIRLS TENT**
Miss cherry escorted Poppy to the tent and she went inside quickly.
She stood there and scanned the entire atmosphere and saw that the girls tent was boring. It was calmer and neater than the boys tent.
Some girls were awake while some were fast asleep.
As soon as they noticed her presence, they left what they were doing to stare at her.
” Hey Mrs Jack hin shan. Here’s your welcome gift!” Vera called, throwing her a soft duck toy.
” Thanks” She smiled and picked the cute little toy. She squashed it ha-rd and something like thick liquid splashed on her face.
” Ew!!” Vera laughed ha-rd and the girls watching joined her.
Poppy gro-aned angrily and cleaned her face with a face towel she found in her pocket.
” I’ll just be a good girl for now so I won’t be sent back home. I’ll endure, Fuc-k it!” She sobbed to herself and arranged the quilt on her bed.
Oceana’s bed was next to her.
” Hey, where have you been the whole time?” Oceana asked and Poppy faced her.
” Oh. I was with Alec in his camp” She said.
” You don’t look happy”
” Yeah, I’m starting to miss him a lot.” She said, climbing up the bed before relaxing on it.
” You can still see him tomorrow and every other day” She said.
” A night without him hurt so good” She said hugging her pillows to her chest.
” That how I feel for Axel too. I told him to give me his sweater so I can sniff it all night and imagine he’s here cuddling me” She said and sniffed the sweater, smiling dreamily.
” I want to go to bed now. Good night” She said.
” Yeah, goodnight” Oceana said and they both rested on their pillow.
Poppy forced her eyes to close up but it was difficult. She couldn’t sleep without Alec by her side. She was addicted to them cuddling while sleeping.
She sighed and took out one of Alec’s old toothbrush and hug-ged it to her face.
” Maybe if I sniff this, I’ll sleep too” She said and finally closed her eyes, hugging the toothbrush till the next day.
***
MORNING* OUTSIDE THE CAMP.
Poppy ran out of the tent and met the other kids outside the shore already.
” Such a bright full morning” She smiled widening her arms taking in the island fresh air.
She saw Alec with his friends and her smile got very adorable.
He was still with that morning rou-ghhair strand but his face was still perfect.
” Alec!” She ran to him and Alec looked at her.
She stopped in front of him and leaned on her tiny toes, ki-ssing him hardly while ignoring his friends.
Alec smiled se-xily inbetween the ki-ss and lifted her up for a while before keeping her on her feet.
They broke the short ki-ss and Poppy sulked her li-ps shyly, wondering why they couldn’t continue.
” Gosh. We were just away from eachother for a night.” He said chuckling.
” That’s what makes me even what you close to me everytime” She said and Alec thought of what would happen if he’s away from her forever.
He sighed and shaked the odd thought off his head.
” How’s your night orange?” He asked, taking her by her hands as they strolled around.
She started counting her fingers.
” Awful. Devastating. You were absent, I hate it. Sleepless night. Couldn’t even breath__”
” I understand cutie” He said and rou-ghed her hair slightly.
” I want you to be close to me every single second of the day, okay moon?” She asked staring at him with those glittering eyes.
” Of course I would” He said staring at her lovingly before looking above her height. ” Oh. They’ve brou-ght the bicycles” He said.
” You are going to ride too?” She asked.
” Yep.”
” Woah. I can’t believe you’re among. I’ll make sure I cheer up for you with a microphone!” She said and Alec palmed his eyes laughing.
Meanwhile, Axel was sitting on one of the old breaches busy with his phones.
” Goodness. There’s no network around here!” He yelled frustrated.
Oceana snapped the phone from him and he looked at her.
” Hey” She waved.
” Hey” He said lazily.
” Hey?. You don’t know how to pet my name anymore??” She gasped.
” Correction. You used ‘Hey’ for me so I just said it back” He said.
.” Ugh!!!. Have your useless phone!” She rolled her eyes and sat next to him.
Axel turned to her.
” You are still pregnant or…?” He asked and she gasped.
” What the___????. I will never answer that question in my life!” She glared at him and Axel chuckled.
” I was only teasing you baby. Anyways, I’m going out for bike riding. Wish me goodluck.”
” I wish you fail and break your head along” She hissed, looking away.
” Thanks for the encouragement. Any words counts” He said and leaned in, ki-ssing her beautiful cheeks softly.
That single doing made her cheeks buff out and turn super red.
She turned and stared at him.
” Why did you do that?” She glared at him, trying to sound upset.
” I did it for Sidney and Sam” He said standing up.
” Who are those?!” She yelled.
” My future kids” He winked and walked away. Oceana gasped and covered her li-ps.
Her heart had never flatter to that extent before. She suddenly felt loved and special and it made her feel like a woman.
She sniffed and stared at her fingers.
” I don’t know if he likes me or just cos of the baby.” She said and looked over to the others at the field.
Kookie tied up his long hair into a ponytail and came out with his bicycle.
Axel and Alec also rode out to the starting line and they waited for the whistle.
” There is a red flag at the end of the island, when you see it, turn around and come back here. Get it?” The principal asked.
” Got it” The three boys said at once and the whistle was blown.
They snapped into a lightning speed and everyone began cheering for them.
They hadn’t gotten half of the road when Alec’s body began to wobble uncontrollably.
His eyes also started to feel dizzy and he didn’t know why he felt somehow.
He quickly stopped, falling to the floor tiredly. Poppy saw him and she ran towards him quickly.
” Alec. Are you okay?. What’s wrong?” She asked, making him seat up.
He quickly drank the bottle of water with her and poured a large potion on his face and hair.
” I’m fine” He said breathing heavily.
” You Sure?” She asked worriedly.
” Yes, I’m fine” He said and stood up on his feet.
She saw blood on his nose and she quickly to-re a part of her jean skirt and palmed his nose with it.
” You’re bleeding, Alec. Quickly. Let’s go meet miss cherry” She said and pulled him towards the teacher.
He was allowed to sit and rest for a while and Poppy sat next to him, watching him at every second.
She had never seen him so hurt that he didn’t even want to look at her face. She held his hands and interlocked their fingers together.
” You didn’t win but I’m sure you could have won if you didn’t fall” She said and Alec slightly smiled.
He seemed to be lost thinking of something else big and important and Poppy was hating it.
” Don’t worry. You’ll be fine, moon. Perhaps, you are tired” She said and rested her head on his shoulder.
The two other boys began to ride quickly back to the other side and the cheering got louder and wilder.
Kookie was a usual bike rider so he was leading the race. He pa-ssed the green flag and won the race casually.
No one cheered cos they were expecting Axel to win since Alec failed.
He went to rest under a tree and picked up Poppy’s purse and thought of returning it to her but he also wanted to explore into it.
He brou-ght out bracelet and love boat drawing and he couldn’t stop himself from laughing.
He took out the diary note and the first thing he saw was the picture of the young looking man in a jacket.
He squinted his eyes and saw that the man resembled someone he knew but couldn’t really recognise.
He brou-ght out a pic on his phone and saw that the men in it totally looked like eachother.
He went back to her diary and saw her ugly handwriting, he couldn’t even read throu-ghwords.
He skipped it and found that he was someone related to poppy, probably her dad.
The research got interesting when he realised the evident of his death.
He smirked, finding answers to the entire problem he was facing since he joined MINIONS.
” He was Poppy’s dad. Alec killed Poppy’s dad. They don’t know about it, but I do. Everything is getting more interesting” He said and got on his feet quickly.
He was very surprised but he knew they would be more surprised.

SNACKS Sto-re ***
Oceana got into the snacks sto-re and ran towards the chocolate glas-simmediately.
” Axel!. This is it!. The chocolate has not been sold out” She screamed excitedly.
Axel came forward and stared at it.
” This chocolate is highly expensive, geeeez”
” Expensive?. But you got money to longue into hotels with those freaking rat!” She yelled and snatched his wallet from him and gave it all to the cashiers.
” Take the amount you need and give me the chocolate” She said and Axel sighed loudly as if the world was finished.
The cashier laughed and brou-ght out her chocolate before handing her back the wallet.
” Thanks boo bear. Have your wallet” She said giving him back his wallet.
She pecked his li-ps and started opening the warps.
” The principal gave us two hours break. Let’s quickly go back to camp” He said and pulled her outside the sto-re.
She saw an ice cream truck moving and her eyes glittered.
” Axel. There are so many benefits to icecream” She said, pulling him back.
” What the heck again!” He yelled.
” Just buy me an ice cream. I promise not to trouble you for today” She said and Axel threw his wallet to her.
” Please yourself and don’t blame me if I disown you after this” He said and walked away and Oceana chuckled, running after him.

XYLAN’S MANSION
Lisa came out of the bathroom and saw xylan dressing up already.
” Hey. Where are you going this hot noon?” She smiled as she approached him.
” Somewhere”
” Um..Can I come with you then?”
” No. its somewhere personal” He said and she sighed.
” You always leave me at home and I hate staying in doors, baby.”
” I’m not caging you. if you want to fly to the sky, you can fly to any limit. You are more or less my concern here” He said and Craig walked in.
” Dad. The bodyguard went on a return visit and they said cherry isn’t home” He said.
” You are going to cherry’s home!. Hell no!” Lisa yelled standing to her feet.
” Is there a reason to panic?” Xylan faced her.
” Of course. I am your own wife, you married me. And I had Craig for you. Why do I feel like I’m not beautiful and enough for you” She yelled.
” You are not enough or you are not suitable to fill in the space anymore???” Xylan asked and walked out of the room with craig, slamming the door hardly.
Lisa sighed hardly and fell her bu-tt back on the bed. Soon, she started crying for the third time that day.
***
CAMP**NIGHT**
Poppy and Alec were outside talking to eachother when kookie came and disrupted their union.
” Hey. Have this” He dropped her purse and the picture of her dad and they both looked up.
” Where did you take my purse from?. Did you open my dairy??” She gasped. There were so many embarra-ssing things she wrote in there.
” No. I got attracted to that pic. Who’s he?” He asked and Poppy picked the picture.
” It was my dad. He’s not alive anymore” She said and Alec stared at the pic again, trying to clue out something.
” This is not your dad” He said.
” He is. He’s the first thing I look into every morning when I wake up. Sadly, he was killed by some gangsters” She said, hugging the picture sadly.
Alec blinked for a while trying to recover his senses. Yes, he remembered everything but he was finding it ha-rd to believe it’s her dad.
” Alec. What’s the problem?. You look so uneasy” Kookie smirked and Alec stood on his feet before walking away quickly lifelessly.
” Alec?!” Poppy stood up worriedly.
” Shh. He’s guilty conscience is slowly kicking in” He smiled.
” What do you mean?” She asked.
” He’s the criminal that everyone is after. He might be responsible for your dad’s death too” He shrugged and Poppy slapped him very ha-rd on his face.
” I won’t believe you !” She cried hardly and ran away to her tent.
He smiled and cracked his neck.
” Let see the drama tomorrow morning” He smitked and walked away.
