JULIEN
It has now been three months since my accident and I'm ok. Hell, I'm better than ok. I have my own apartment now, my own car, I started going back to school online of course, I don't have the time or energy to be running around some god forsaken campus. Akio and Haru come over often, i know it's weird to hang out so much with your ex and someone who forced themselves onto you but hey, my life is weird and awkward enough, no need to dig deeper if i don't have to. Unfortunately we are all supposed to go on another company trip to some orchard of a sort. let me tell you i'm not looking forward to that at all. As you know our last company trip was a bust and absolute hell.
At this moment we are now all on the bus awaiting judgement day, I mean our picnic day. As I look around I notice everyones nervous, frustrated, or just plain woeful. After six fucking hour on a bus with all of these people w efinally pull up to a farm/inn. We were all eager to get off the bus. Akio especially, I'm pretty sure he was plotting to strangle Haru in his sleep more than once. As we all got to the door , a tall man surpassing all of us bumped into a few of us at the door, one of them being me. He easily pulled me up as if I weighed nothis and apologized. As soon she was there he was gone.
A petite older woman ran to the door and greeted us.
"Hello my name is Mrs.Cho and I'm so excited to get my new little helpers."
Of course, of course he would do this to us. We are either going to be working on a farm or in a house. I am begging for the house. I don't think I would survive in that damn orchard for an hour. None of us replied or disagreed , we all knew it was going to eb some fucked up trip. We all just cheered sarcastically and went to our rooms. I was paired with haru who looked like he wanted to cry.
"You know it's trips like this that make me was to quit."
" i know how you feel."
Seconds later there was a knock on the door , we opened it to find the woman holding out overalls. We took them with a deep sigh and thanked her.
"Oh right I'm sorry dear I couldn't find anything else in your size, you're just so small."
"Its-"
Before I finished my sentence she was gone. I unfolded them to find that they only went down to a little above my knee. Aww crap, imagine poor Akio were the same size. After I changed , Haru looked at me for a moment like a hungry dog, I snapped my fingers and he began laughing.
"Pervert."
'oh come on those are basically booty shorts, now all the missing is a nice hat to go with it and a few ribbons in your hair."
'I hate you so much right now."
"I am now bessy."
I grabbed my phone, put it in my pocket and walked outside of the room to find a few more of my co-workers in the same damn thing.I guess this isn't going to be such an uncomfortable week after all. I think I just jinxed myself. just the ten strapping men in actual overalls walked down the hall, they all stopped in their tracks and just took a good look at us, seeming confused and amused.(Cool that rhymed)
At this point I didn't care. I pretty much left my dignity at home, what was the use of bringing it. I wasn't the only one that did so, we all just went downstairs to find the same woman with a clipboard.
"Sorry again ears, yoru all just so small."
I forced a smile but couldn't hold it, she began giving work assignments and I was in the damn orchard. She handed me a hat and a pair of gloves. Only two people were inside due to the lack of help she had around the in.
"Ok dears, you only have three hours in the orchards today since it's already getting dark. Dinner is at 8, breakfast is at 6, lunch is at 12. Go on now, my sons will give you your work assignments when you get there."
A few of us were in the apple orchard, others peach and the rest grape. I was in the peach orchard. Thankfully, I'm not a huge fan of grapes and apples tend to have more worms. The five people with me walked down a row until we saw two tall figures.
Among the five of us, two were from a different company and we all happened to mix. Luckily they had on actual overalls. WHen we finally stood in front of the two men, they had wicked grons on their faces. I'm just gonna say it, goodbye smoothe hands, goodbye.
"So the city pork finally has to work for theri food for once, this will be fun."
Were as good as dead. One of the two men brought out a ladder, and a large metal bin with wheels on it. I guess now we will be given our tasks. I will be receiving mine last since I'm at the other end of the line.
"Blondie, you pick up rotten peaches and toss them into the metal bin over there, short stuff will help you."
We all looked confused, we were all similar height except for the two guys from a different company. The man noticed our confusion and pointed to one of the outsiders. Both of the damned began their task as soon a steh were assigned. He pointed towards the person next to me.
"You will move around the ladder, and your cutie will eb climbing and picking, edhead you will be collecting. Now that you all have your work assignments we will be over there."
They pointed to two chairs with umbrellas and lemonade. These assholes.Hold up did he just call me cutie? This is going to be the longest three hours of our lives. I climbed up onto the ladder and began picking, the whole time I could feel someone staring at my ass, I looked down and it was the heron holding the ladder of any of the poems I was with. It was a song of the tall men relaxing, I wasn't the only one they were staring at. By the tie our hellish three house were, up my limbs were stiff, i felt like a doll trapped in a pose. i had to punch my legs a few times, beau they had gone numb. When I finally got off the ladder i dnt know if I was gonna make it back. The two guys from the other company left before we did. Gustav and Tomoe were as tired as i was. We walked for ten minutes before I gave up on life. The two taller men had already left after they woke up from their nap.
"Gustav, Tomoe, i don't think we're gonna make it."
They gave me the same tired look."
"I can proudly say i fought in this war with the both of you, you were both my right hand soldiers."
"Oorah."
I'm pretty sure we were all too tired to even process our own words. Our legs were jelly, our arms were sour, our hands burning. It was pitch black outside and when we finally got back dinner as over. Apparently no one got any, our skinny and athletic bodies barely made it back in one piece. when i came into my room Haru was passed out on the floor, he couldn't make it.
I flopped down on my bed just for it to bounce me right off onto the ground, maybe he did make it. At this point neither of us were willing to get up.
"H-Haru, you are alive."
"No."
"I want to go home, I can't last a whole day."
"Home, yes, pain , yes, work, no, no, no, no."
At tsi point i think that was a far as he was getting with full sentence. Poor Haru, poor me. I close my eyes just to hear a bell. I opened them to see it was morning, no that's not possible i just closed my eyes, i practically blinked. I nudged Haru and he rolled onto his back. I crawled to the bathroom to take a shower and got dressed again. Honestly i'm ready to leave screw you James. WHen i came out of the shower haru was waiting he passed me on the way in smelling like hell and looking like a zombie. When I heard my phone give me a notification I checked to see there was a group video chat starting, I answered and it was all my coworkers. I wasn't the only one not feeling thijs place.
Call
Akio: We are leaving this hell hole right?
Everyone else: UUUUHHHH
Me: DOes anyone have the number for the bus?"
Someone: I think i got the number in one of my selfies, let me check, oh i id d.
Akio: Call it, i'm packing up and going out the window, i have a feeling those farmers were looking for a week of rest an dwerent going to let it walk out of here that easily."
Me; ok well haru is in the shower i'll tell him, who calls the bus text us when it is on its way so we can pack and what not, i suggest we all lock our doors till then.
Someone: It will be here in 15 minutes'
Everyone: Crap
End
I tossed my phone in my bag and everything that belonged to me, I also began packing Ahrus clothes, when he walked out of eh shower I just remembered I was still in my towel.
"Haru someone called the bus, get dressed it will be here in 15 minutes."
"Thank god."
He just dropped his towel and began getting dressed, jesus the confidence in him. I turned around and took out underwear and tights in case we would have to run for it when these people heard the bus and a sweatshirt. After I was dressed and my sneakers were cleaned up I began putting my bag next to the window.
"Haru pass me your bed sheets."
We tied them together and lowered it half way done, thankfully our room was at the back of the inn where there were no windows. Moments later I heard a knock on the door, oh crap.
"Hau Julien, it's open up, our rooms have windows below them."
I quickly opened up and everyone rushed in some with extra sheets. I went down first with my bag on my back, haru next , then akio and everyone else. We heard the bus push its horn and we looked at it, it's a decent run away. Just then the farmers came out wondering what was with the sound, they hadn't spotted us yet so we could still make it. I looked at everyone and began to run iek my life depended on it, it took everyone else a second but they did the sema, when i looked behind me there practically was a herd of bull chasing. I waxed my arms and the bus driver opened up the door, he looked almost as terrified as I was. When I finally made it to the boss I tossed my back into the seat all the way in the back, moments later when everyone else got on Akio was yelling.
"Floor it damn it do you want to die with us."
The poor man really did floor it, Akio almost fell but quickly took a seat. As the man was driving we heards bangs on the side of the truck, the farmers were stoning us for what the hell. WHen we finally reached the city, oh sweet city we begged the guy to pull up to the first KFC there was. WHen we got back to the office we were actually thankful to see the building.
"Wait a minute guys who are going to pay for the damage."
"Put it on the company card.'
We all began laughing as Todd there in the parking lot. I took out my keys and walked to my car with my half bucket of fried chicken. what a life i lie huh
