Cherreads

Chapter 46 - bath time

(Day 5 continued.)

 

(Nightfall, after Abby's horror story.)

JUWON

What happened?

ABBY

That is for you to finish the rest of the story.

HAKI

That was some story.

BEN

Yeah, TOP even started screaming like a girl.

TOP

No, I wasn't.

HANNA

Yeah, you were. I never thought you could scream like that.

TOP

(His face turns red.)

JUWON

Ohh! Someone is blushing.

TOP

No, I'm not. Anyways, I'm going to bed. Good night everyone.

JUHI

TOP, there's the creepy old lady!

TOP

Waaaah! Where?!

JUHI

Got ya! Hahahahaha!

GRACE

Hahahahaha! She got you.

TOP

Hahahaha! Very funny Juhi.

(They head to bed as Julie returns.)

JULIE

So, where am I going to sleep?

HANNA

You can sleep in the girls' tent. We can't leave you sleep in the open,

MADDIE

Yeah. After hearing Abby's scary story.

JULIE

I bet it wasn't that scary.

MADDIE

It was. Very scary.

JULIE

Oh really. Tell me.

(Maddie narrates. Lisa falls asleep.)

JULIE

That was scary. Cannibalism is what scares you? You got to be kidding me.

MADDIE

It was a scary story. Especially, how the old woman looked like.

HANNA

Maddie, go to bed. And I thought you didn't want to hear scary stories.

MADDIE

Okay fine. Are you also scared Hanna?

HANNA

I don't like hearing it when it comes to bed time. It gives me nightmares.

MADDIE

Okay. I stop. But I too feel scared. Maybe we can cuddle.

HANNA

Ah, good idea. Let's cuddle. That way we won't have nightmares.

(They cuddle next to their sleeping bags.)

JULIE

What are you? A bunch of toddlers?!

(She gets into her sleeping bag. Abby smiles in her sleep.)

ABBY

[My horror story really got Hanna and Maddie. Well, that story got me creeps when my dad narrated it to me when I was in middle school.]

(As lights fade out inside the tents, someone steals Julie's walkie talkie and breaks it. Then returns it back to her bag.)

 

(Day 5 ends.)

 

(Day 6 arrives.)

 

(The next day, Julie notices the walkie talkie is broken.)

JULIE

JUWON

Is something the matter?

JULIE

No, it's nothing at all. What do you need?

JUWON

Hanna needs help in carrying the bucket of water. So that she could bathe.

JULIE

Why can't you help?

JUWON

She is in her towel. And I don't want to see her body and be called a perv. And also it will be weird for her twin brother.

JULIE

Can the other girls do it?

JUWON

Bucket too heavy for them to carry. And if you are asking about the boys…

(TOP is banging at the bathroom stall's door.)

TOP

Justin! Hurry the hell up! We also want the bucket so that we can bathe!

JUSTIN

Just a minute! I'm almost done!

CLIVE

What the hell are you doing man?! Have you become a lady all of a sudden?!

HAKI

The girls are almost done bathing. And you are busy taking your sweet time.

JUSTIN

I'll be done in a minute! Waaaah!

TOP

What is it?! Is there a slug?!

JUSTIN

No!

BEN

Then what is it?

JUSTIN

I have grown pubic hair!

(The boys groan.)

TOP

Is this the pretty boy that girls in our class were crushing on?

CLIVE

Hurry up in there! No one cares if you have started growing pubic hair or not!!!!

 

(Back to Juwon and Julie.)

JUWON

See.

JULIE

Fine then. I'll help your twin sister out.

(Julie helps Hanna to carry the bucket full of warm water. She is in a towel.)

HANNA

Thanks.

JULIE

Your brother asked me to help you out. It's not like I wanted to or anything.

HANNA

Sure, he did. And you helping me out, it's like you are a nice person.

JULIE

What?! What nonsense are you saying?

HANNA

If there is anything that you need help, you can ask me. Okay?

JULIE

LISA

Hanna?! Why are you outside in a towel only?

HANNA

Because, I'm going to bathe.

LISA

You could have fetched water in the river to mix with the water with clothes on. And took it off when you are in the bathroom!

HANNA

I didn't think of that.

(Her towel falls making the boys to instinctively turn around. However, the girls including Julie cover for her. The bucket is in the bathroom now.)

ABBY

What are you boys looking at? There is nothing to see.

BOYS

… [We almost saw something.]

(Justin finishes bathing.)

JUSTIN

Who is next?!

TOP

Let us vote that Justin should be the last to be bathing.

BOYS

Agreed.

JUSTIN

Eh.
