Conversation - A Trip for an Assignment

Disclaimer : Coconuts! (c) antaRES

****

2 p.m., in the innermost corridor where people were usually hanging out after class. It was quiet as most students had gone home. Only three students remained, with one joining them later.

****

Grazel : *sleeps with head slumped to the table*
Krista : *drinks her mineral water*
Viktoir : *stares at her laptop, sometimes typing and ramming the backspace button continuously*
Dorothy : *comes in* “Guys? I thought you’ve gone home already.”
Viktoir : *turns to Dorothy* “We’re working on our drama assignment. Don't you remember?” *sighs*
Dorothy : “Ah... yeah. *looks at the sleeping Grazel* Then why is she asleep?”
Krista : “She’s been pulling an all-nighter to write the script with the most suitable plot for us...”
Viktoir : “Yet to no avail. So I’m helping her out.” *points at her laptop*
Krista : *peers at the monitor; it shows a completely blank Word document* “Uh... Vik?”
Viktoir : “Yes, big sis?”
Dorothy : *scrolls the document up and down* “You’re not typing anything at all?”
Viktoir : “I typed, but then I erased it all over. I’m kinda short on ideas.”
Krista : *covers her face with her palm* “Oh god... We’re totally in hot water.”
Grazel : *wakes up and rubs her eyes* “Did I miss anything?”
Dorothy : *turns to Grazel* “Our minds went blank.” *shrugs*
Grazel : “What? What happened to the assignment?”
Viktoir : “I can’t even write a single word!”
Krista : “We’re so doomed, Grazel!”
Grazel : “Darlings, please. I’ve got news for you... an inspiration for our drama.”
Dorothy : “What inspiration? *stares at Grazel* Tell us!”
Grazel : “So... I dreamt of being visited by someone who spoke to me about trips and such... mm, okay, that was crazy, though. Just the usual angel’s dream, nothing special...” *looks at the others; they’re completely silent*
Krista : “That... actually sounds like a great idea.”
Dorothy : “An adventure! It might be good for our assignment!”
Viktoir : “Glad to see I’m not the only one excited about this. *sighs in relief* So, where will we go?    The woods? The swamps? The dark alleys?”
Dorothy : “We’ll... talk about that later. And when will we go?”
Krista : “Uh... *thinks* Right after this. We’re going to hand this in tomorrow.” *starts tidying up her stuff*
Grazel : “Not tomorrow! The deadline is still in three days.”
Krista : “But still, we need to hurry.”
Viktoir : *shuts down her laptop and puts it—along with the charger—in her bag* “Uh... okay. I just hope I don’t get grounded later.”
Dorothy : “Mm... fine by me. *shrugs* But I can only keep you company until around four.”
Grazel : *walks out to the parking area, followed by the others* “O~kay! It’s settled—wait, Vik-dear. You don’t have a motorcycle, so how will you get there?”
Viktoir : “I’m going with you, obviously.”
Grazel : “I don’t ride here today.”
Dorothy : “You hopeless beings! Now how do we go there?!
Krista : “You go on ahead, Dorothy. I’ll take them both with me.”
Viktoir : “Can you?”
Grazel : “I have a bad feeling here...”
Krista : “Oh, come on. *gets on her motorcycle* My riding speed won’t decrease just because I carry two passengers at once.” *winks*
Dorothy : “But it’s going to be dangerous... and illegal.”
Krista : “Eh? Why?” *looks at the others innocently*
Grazel-Viktoir : *yell together* “YOU DON’T EVEN WEAR A HELMET!!”
Krista : *laughs* “I forgot the helmet today! A-Anyway, let’s just go. Get on, I’ll be sure nobody notices us.”
Grazel-Viktoir : “Okay...” *get on Krista’s motorcycle*
Dorothy : “Hey, I have a spare helmet for— *sees the trio ride off and sighs* They’re hopeless...” *gets on her motorcycle and rides off as well, following the others*

****

2.:30 p.m., everyone arrived at the destination place. Dorothy arrived there faster than the others.

****

Dorothy : *sees Krista’s motorcycle stop* “You guys! What’s with ‘my riding speed won’t decrease just because I carry two passengers at once’? I arrived earlier!” *pouts*
Krista : “Sorry, sorry~” *grins*
Grazel : *turns to Viktoir* “Are you sure you’re going to be okay? We’re not going home until this thing is done.”
Viktoir : “Worry not. I’ll be fine. *glares at Grazel* You’re the one to be worried about. You need to return to the dorm before curfew, right?”
Grazel : “Seems we’ll be home before seven.” *chuckles*
Dorothy : “Are you not going to make up a story for when you’re home later?”
Viktoir : “Naaaaah. I’d better be grounded rather than lie.”
Krista : “Now let’s go, shall we?”
Grazel : “But what are we going to do?”
Dorothy : *squeals* “Selfies!”
Krista : “Dorothy, please... *smiles widely* You can say that again.” *starts taking selfies with Dorothy*
Viktoir : “Both of you are hopeless.”
Grazel : *pats Viktoir’s shoulder* “Oh, come on, Vik-dear. We can still have our adventure here, right?” *winks*
Viktoir : *smiles and nods* “Let’s go, then!”

****

And so the quartet spent their time taking a walk around and snapping photos, completely forgotten about their assignment.

****

4:50 p.m., the quartet had finished their ‘adventure’ and were now at Dorothy’s room.

****

Dorothy : “Whew! *lies down on the bed* What a tiring day! Let’s take a nap, guys.”
Grazel : “But how about the assignment?”
Viktoir : “You forgot one thing. *smirks* My imagination is already running wild, so I’ll work it out.” *takes out her laptop and switched it on*
Krista : “I know what you mean. So this time you’re the one who’s going to spend all night long for this?”
Viktoir : “To be honest, I still have energy for this. I’ll make sure to finish it on time.”
Grazel : “We’re counting on you, then. But I was already under a lot of pressure for this, so don’t push yourself.”
Viktoir : “Yeah, I know.” *starts typing*
Krista : “You’re a worrywart, Grazel. No wonder you felt pressured.”
Grazel : “You hurt my feelings, Krista. How cruel.” *puts a pained expression*
Dorothy : “Hey, how about having lunch together after this thing is done? I’ll treat you guys to the restaurant near our campus.”
Krista-Viktoir : “Sounds great!”
Grazel : “Don’t say it now, Dorothy... I’m getting hungry.” *covers her ears*
All : *laugh together*

****

The next day, 9:45 a.m. It was break time and Viktoir went with Grazel to print out the drama script.

****

Krista : *comes downstairs* “Dorothy, did you see Grazel around?”
Dorothy : “Printing the assignment with Viktoir. *checks her wristwatch* But the break time’s almost over...”
Krista : “I bet they’re running over here like— *sees Viktoir and Grazel enter the campus with script in hand* Oh, ther they are!”
Grazel : “Darlings! *runs to Krista and Dorothy* Phew... we made it in the nick of time.”
Viktoir : “Aaaaand here’s the assignment!” *hands over the paper to Krista*
Krista : “Great! But the deadline isn’t today, so what are we going to do next?”
Dorothy : “Time to fulfill my promise. We’ll eat together after the next class!”
All : “Yay!!”
