The Trip for Food

 #4

 We were on my friend's house one boring day. One of us thought of an idea to go to Charmaigne(our classmate)'s house. At first, we were hesitant to go there because it is very far away, it is located on the mountainous part of our city, and we only had one peso. But because of  boredom  , all six of us agreed  to go to Charmaigne's house. We just walked in order for us to go to her house, erasing the mere thought  that it was very far away.

    In the middle of our trip, we felt hunger, but we do not have any food with us, only one peso. That is why we searched for food anywhere. When we passed by a star apple tree, our eyes were mesmerized by a single fruit. Without hesitation, we stole the star apple. The fruit, obviously did not satisfy our hunger. That's why when we passed by a store, we used our only money to buy a bubblegum. After buying, we cut it into small pieces and we shared it. The trip was so long that we stopped every time we saw a good place for us to rest. During our stop over, we always thought of many weird ideas, we even did the shadow dance, and maybe we did those crazy things because of our hunger.

    After almost two hours of walking, we arrived on Charmaigne's house. She and her cousin, who was on her house, were surprised when they saw us. They did not have any idea that we were coming. Because of hunger, two of my friends hurriedly climbed up the coconut tree to get young coconut. But when they were on the middle of the tree, they suddenly felt afraid, they then quickly slid down. That's why we asked for help to Charmaigne's uncle. While his uncle was busy climbing the tree, Charmaigne led us to her neighbor to ask for some star fruits.Generously, they permitted us to do so. After getting fruits, we then went to the store to buy milk for the coconut. When we went back to her house, we then  prepared everything; we scraped the coconut, mixed it with milk, and washed the star fruit. 

    We were busy eating, chatting, teasing and laughing that we did not notice that it was already getting dark. We just noticed it when we heard the already awakened nocturnal creatures dancing gracefully in the darkness of the night. We then directly cleaned up, thanked Charmaigne and her family, then bid them goodbye. We walked quickly because the road was so dark, that we cannot even see the both sides of the road. In the middle of our walk, a very heavy rain poured over us. It made the road very muddy and no one could ever imagine what we looked like during those chilly scenario. Dark road, no single house could be  seen, sounds of creepy animals, heavy rain, and only us walking, it seemed like we were on a horror film. That's why we ran so fast until we arrived on a waiting shed that had light. We rested there for a while and waited for the rain to stop. While resting, we were surprised when we looked on our feet, it was full of mud, as if we were wearing shoes made of mud.

    It was almost 9:00 pm when we reached the highway, we then headed to our respective houses. When I arrived home, I was expecting that I will be scolded by my mother, but luckily I wasn't. After a few minutes of rest, I then took a bath, went to bed and fell unto a very deep sleep.

  That day was really a memorable one, even though the trip was really tiresome. I did not regret for it. It was a once in a lifetime experience that I will never ever forget in my entire life.
