All of the graduating students go on a school field trip each semester. It is part of their curriculum to learn about and experience the outside world. The purpose of the trip was to learn while having fun. The university changes the location of the school trip every year. Last year, they went camping in the virgin forest to discover and research various wild animals and trees. The university had intended to send the students to the island this year so they could demonstrate their survival skills. They will receive the essential tools and gear for camping. They are not permitted to bring any electronics, gadgets, or cell phones. They are always safe since a lighthouse tower with guards is keeping watch over them. There is a transmission radio in the tower in case of an emergency, but they are not allowed to interfere with student activities unless it is a life-threatening emergency. A companion must be assigned to them before they board

The sun's heat was on Edward's face when he awoke. He covered his eyes with his hands so he could view the weather outside the cave and noticed the sun blazing brightly in the clear, blue sky. It was a clear, sunny day. The sky was a pure, brilliant blue, with white cotton candy clouds drifting through it.  Edward was about to get up, but he saw Ella's arm wrapped around his waist. Later, he returned and lay down. She was sleeping as he cast a glance at her face. Even though she is sleeping, he finds it amusing to watch her. When she is sleeping, she appears to be a whole different person, as though she is nicer and more refined than when she is awake. Ella is somewhat rude and boyish. After some time, he sensed Ella waking up gradually and moving. He became anxious and was afraid that she might feel awkward if he was seen watching her. When Ella awoke, Edward pretended to be sleeping. She puts on her goggles while moving gently to

Ella couldn't help but smile as she gazed at the stunning red gown Edward had given her. She had never had new clothes or owned anything new since she was a child. Everything she owns is secondhand or passed down. She gently took the gown from the box and draped it over her while looking at the shop's mirror wall. Ella begins to swirl and dance gracefully around, carrying the gown in a rich, deep crimson shade that brims with a fiery passion. Her eyes sparkled with delight, and her pearly white teeth gleamed as she smiled while watching herself dance in the mirror. "Why don't you give it a try girl?" Bruce proposed it to her. "Go, girl. I'm curious to see how it looks on you "Salome exclaimed with glee. Salome suddenly remembered: "No wonder Edward was asking for your body measurement the other day. I had no idea he was planning to surprise you with a gown as a gift." Ella dashed to the stockroom to

The burden of being an only child is that they must meet the expectations of their parents and those around them. The only child can be spoiled or neglected and mistreated. They are always expected to follow in their parent's footsteps and carry on their legacy. Luis was not immune to any of these; despite being born with a silver spoon in his mouth, his life was never easy. He was constantly compared to his cousins, especially Edward because they were the same age. Luis is the only child of Enrique Santibanez and Henrietta Madrigal, Mateo's older sister, and Edward's father. Ever since they were young people want them to compete with each other on who is better.  Flashback thirteen years ago... "Luis, come over here, my child," Margaux summons Luis. Luis put down his toys and rushed over to Margaux. He noticed a young boy standing beside her. He was shy and tried to hi

Ella has been staring at the necklace for hours. She intends to give it to Edward on his birthday; the only question is whether she should wrap it or simply hand it to him. She has a variety of colorful gift wrappers on her bed and is debating which one to use. Some girls would look for an attractive dress to wear, whereas Ella was thinking about what wrapper to use to make the gift look presentable. Her phone rang shortly after she decided to use the metallic red wrapper. When she answered the phone, it was the catering service. They want her to work with them over the weekend because they were hired by a wealthy family for a charitable event. Ella couldn't say no when she learned that the job was for a good cause. She was always eager to participate in events that aided poor people like herself. She accepted the job without hesitation. Ella let out an audible sigh as she stared at the necklace. "Sorry, but duty calls. I suppose you'll be s
