Capítulo 148: Fishing - Day 3
Day 2 ended successfully with its corresponding activities while Day 3 began with a clear sky and gentle breeze.
The third day of the trip included early morning fishing and a visit to the lake house later in the evening. The students were all instructed the previous night about their fishing event. It's a team activity with two per team as per the roommate arrangement. Seth informed the kids to assemble early in the morning outside the building as usual.
After assembling, Seth did the headcount and checked for the attendance. Later, they all left together along with the guides. The guides have been extremely patient with Seth and the kids. So far, nothing serious has happened, and hence, the trip went smooth for all.
Everyone enjoyed and had fun with friends. It was refreshing.
Soon, they reached the fishing area. With kids grouped as a team, the guides along with the staff helped in distributing the fishing gears around. Next, the instructors taught the fundamental way of working with the fishing gear and the to do's and don'ts of the activity. When it ended, the kids are permitted to begin fishing.
All chose their desired spot and then took position after tying the worm to the hook. The sound of fish hooks hitting the water in the early morning felt distinctive. Because it is summer, the guides have informed that early morning and late evening will be high time for fishing, and so, Seth finalized it as day activity moving the lake house visit in the evening.
The young teenagers actively threw the hook, trying to catch the fish.
When the event was selected, the kids frowned, saying it is a dull activity done by older people, not suited for kids. To encourage them in participating, Seth announced that the fishes they catch would be grilled and served that night for dinner. Hearing it, the kids got thrilled and turned it into a game.
Now, at the location, the kids competed against each other, mostly the guys did while the girls only concurred. Some were scared to catch a fish, some were eager and while some were goofing around, like Lillian Grey.
Lillian Grey and her roommate Mindy are partners. As soon as they got the gear, Mindy helped in baiting the hook with a worm and then gave to Lillian.
Patience ran out within five minutes Lillian returned the gear to Mindy and told to continue while she sneaked out.
"I'm done. If I stay another minute in here, I'll go mad. Mindy, you can play it," Lillian responded and then fled the spot.
She didn't leave the place but shifted to another spot and got hold a person secretly from behind.
"Gisellee-"Lillian's called.
Since yesterday, Lillian's way of calling Giselle changed, she stretched the last letter to make it sound like a distinctive nickname only for Giselle.
Startled by the entrance, Giselle, who got partnered with Anna, saw Lillian Grey clinging onto her shoulders.
"Well, just when I think we're alone and having a great time with ourselves," Anna remarked with the sudden entrance.
"What?"
"Am I not allowed to intrude?" Lillian cried.
"Yes, why are you here with us in the first place?" Anna scolded.
"Did you catch any fish, Lillian?" Giselle asked eagerly.
Only then, Lillian left her shoulders and relocated next to Giselle.
"Nah, I hate it," Lillian replied, showing her disinterest.
"I don't like fishing."
Lillian declared proudly.
"How do you know if didn't try?" Giselle questioned.
"I did, for like five minutes and I hated it so much, I left Mindy to continue. She's having fun, see,"
Lillian informed and pointed at Mindy's location. The three took a look and saw the poor girl struggling all alone.
Anna's nerves ticked off and she smacked Lillian on her head.
"How can you leave your partner alone?" Anna railed against her friend.
"Fine, fine, I'll go help her," Lillian retracted quickly and departed.
Anna and Giselle saw her going in another direction away from Mindy. When Anna yelled, Lillian informed that she is going to take a small detour and then go to help her. Lillian replied and winked at Giselle as she left. Seeing Anna furious, Giselle comforted her.
"Anna! Calm down," Giselle eased her.
Anna was the one holding onto the gear in that team, and so, she couldn't move much to kick Lillian's ass. However, she groaned, knowing that nothing can be done, with a girl like her.
The two returned to catch a fish.
"She's like that always, you know."
Anna spoke suddenly, evoking her memories.
"Even when our families go out together, she doesn't try fishing. Only Edwin does it," Anna shared.
Giselle listened to it in a trance, "Edwin?" she puzzled.
"Oh, Edwin Grey, Lilly's father," Anna answered.
Until now, Giselle knew nothing about Lillian Grey except admiring her from afar. Learning about Lillian's father secretly made Giselle happier as if she solved a mystery.
'Lillian's mother?' – Giselle thought.
Noticing Anna, Giselle wanted to learn more about Lillian Grey. She used the opportunity.
"What about Lillian's mother?" Giselle asked.
Anna, who was concentrating on catching the fish, heard Giselle and turned to face her.
"Lilly's mother died when she was young."
Giselle's heart dropped when she heard it. She froze, her eyes growing in shock.
"It's okay you didn't know," Anna explained, observing Giselle's reaction.
"I'm sorry," she confessed.
"Hey! It's alright, Giselle. You didn't know it, right!"
Anna relaxed on the fishing rod and helped Giselle in calming her as she appeared devastated.
"Gees, what you two even talk when you're together?" Anna mumbled.
Giselle shook her head.
"I know, I know, you sick people go to the libraries, I get it."
"Alright, let's catch a fish now, okay?" Anna appealed.
Giselle agreed.
Those two returned to fishing.
