Gathering Up
My Oasis (My Resting Place)
Everyone gathered in front of the school early in the morning waiting to leave. Sa Rang got out of her mom’s car and closed the passenger door. She had her blue suitcase in her hand. She looked at every one who was there with bigger suitcases. Her mother talked to her through the opened window on the passenger side. “Alright Sa Rang. Take care, and don’t do stupid things okay? Stay with the group and don’t get lost, all right? And you have your phone?” her mother asked. “Yes mother,” Sa Rang said with a smile. “Alright, you want us to come pick you up when you get back?”
“Oh, no, I’ll walk home. Or my friends will give me a ride. Don’t worry about it. You two might be too busy too.” She said. Her mother smiled. “Alright, bye, take care.” Her mother said. “Bye mom,” Sa Rang said then her mother drove off.
“Hey, Sa Rang, you’re finally here?” Lee Soo Young said walking up to her. “Oh, Soo Young, you’re here early.” Sa Rang said. “Yes” Soo Young said.
“Okay every one, make sure to put your names on your suitcases. Lets put your things in the bus and get loaded. Let’s go.” Mr. Lee said coming out of the school. Every one got their things in there and went inside the bus. Jun Hyung’s parents stopped the car in front of the bus and dropped him off. He came out with his suitcase and put his name on it then put it in the bus. He went into the bus with people behind him and sat down in a seat. Hyun Bin got on the bus and looked for Sa Rang.
“Oh, Hyun Bin, I’m here.” Sa Rang said waving a hand at Sa Rang. Jun Hyung looked at Sa Rang then smacked his lips and turned back around. Hyun Bin and Sa Rang sat together while Jun Hyung sat by a friend of his.
Sa Rang slept during the drive with her head dangling down. Hyun Bin and she were listening to songs together from his I-pod. He looked over at her from looking outside and smiled. He gently pushed her head towards him and placed it on his shoulder. He looked at her and gently kissed her forehead.
Jun Hyung slept also, with his head dangling next to the window. His friend looked at him and pushed his head to lean against the window.
“All right, everyone. Wake up!” Mr. Lee said. Jun Hyung woke up looking outside seeing green grass and a wide lake in view. Sa Rang and Hyun Bin, whose heads were against each other, woke up and looked around. “We’re on our first stop. Go to the restroom and get some fresh air for a while. Be back in twenty minutes okay? There’re snacks in front of the bus too, so whoever’s hungry can grab something to eat. Let’s go.” Mr. Lee said then every one went out. Sa Rang yawned with a stretch and walked out with Hyun Bin behind her. Jun Hyung yawned stretching and was about to get up and go out, but Sa Rang blocked the way. They looked at each other. “Oh, go ahead, sorry.” Sa Rang said. “No, go ahead. Girl’s first.” Jun Hyung said. She smiled and left with Hyun Bin behind her. Jun Hyung let everyone off then he left.
“Wow, this place is so refreshing.” Sa Rang said walking up to the lake. She reached her arms out and looked up at the sky stretching again. She looked at the water and bent down to get a better view of it. Hyun Bin waited in line for the restroom with Jun Hyung in front of him. “Hey, how was the ride?” Hyun Bin asked him. Jun Hyung smiled. “Good. How about you?”
“Good.” Hyun Bin said. Jun Hyung smiled and looked away with an I-don’t-care expression. Jun Hyung looked over and saw Sa Rang bent down looking at the water. Hyun Bin looked over at him then looked at where he was looking at and looked back at Jun Hyung suspiciously.
Sa Rang got up and looked at Jun Hyung who was looking at her. She stared at him for a long while until it was his turn to go use the restroom. She smiled and looked at Hyun Bin who looked her way. Hyun Bin waved a hand at her. She smiled and waved a hand back. She walked up to the snack bar and grabbed some food to eat along with a drink.
