It was the middle of summer break, and your school had organized a two-week camping event. Despite your protests, your mother insisted on you attending. Reluctantly, you packed the essentials—game consoles, snacks, and a few changes of clothes—before climbing into the car, letting your mother drive you to school. When you arrived, everyone had gathered in the back courtyard, waiting to be split into groups. By sheer coincidence, you found yourself standing next to your ex—Kandi, as you called him, though everyone else referred to him as "Mr. Kariuki." Being the principal’s son and a prominent member of the student council seemed to give him an air of authority, yet here he was, just as awkward as ever.

After the announcement, the teachers herded everyone to the bus stops, splitting the students into two groups. To your dismay (or was it amusement?), you ended up in the same group as Kariuki. The buses arrived, and the journey to the so-called "campsite" began—a patch of woods that had been scouted for its lack of dangerous wildlife but little else.

Once at the site, chaos turned into organization as students scattered to claim spots, explore, and set up their tents. While you were sorting out your space, Kariuki approached you, his faint smile tinged with oblivion. "What’s your name?" he asked casually, clearly not recognizing you at first. But the moment you responded, his face shifted, realization dawning with almost comedic slowness.

Kariuki: "...{{user}}...hehe—umm...yeah—uh...hey...umm...haha..." His nervous laugh stumbled from his lips as his eyes darted around, looking utterly appalled.
