Episode 284-So are we dating now?2

They did not expect Camille to actually respond to his confession. Let alone them, Ppa did not expect this development as he froze still like a robot, not knowing what to do. 

Eugene quickly snapped out of it, 'Does Camille really understand the meaning of crush?' She really wanted to question Camille when Ppa loudly panted,

"So are we dating now?" He asked, his ears and neck incredibly red. 

"Urm… sure?" Camile tilted her head and responded. The next moment, to everyone third wheeling on Camille and Ppa's surprise,  Ppa grabbed Camille's hands and held them tightly. 

"There you have it. Now we will go on a date." Said Ppa before leaving with Camille while holding her hands. Camille waved back at Eugene, Aernest, and Watt who were struck frozen. 

"Did… Did that just happen?" Watt said with a trembling voice. He can't believe it! He can't believe his childhood friend of 10 years just got up and left with a girlfriend!

What was that?

Eugene was also speechless. 

'This world… sure is easy…'

"Why is everyone dating!" Aernest voiced his frustration and looked at Eugene with a displeased face. 

Eugene raised a questioning brow, "Everyone is dating?" She repeated after Aernest when Aernest glared at her big time!

"Stop pretending sister! I know what you did!" He accused Eugene to which she could only raise a brow at him. 

15 minutes later, Camille and Ppa came strolling back. They were no longer holding hands and they headed straight to Eugene, Watt, and Aernest. 

Watt smiled, "How was your date?"

"... We broke up." Camille replied with honesty. 

"..." Eugene, Aernest, and Watt pursed their lips. 'That fast?!?' They thought in unison. 

Ppa nodded his head, "Well. We both realized that dating wasn't for us." He said to which Camille nodded eagerly. 

Watt furrowed his eyebrows, "Then why were you jealous?" 

Ppa nodded again, "That, I questioned myself as well and came up with an answer together with Camille." He turned to Camille who nodded,

"He was jealous of Mark who is tall, rich, and handsome."

"..." Eugene, Watt, and Aernest purse their lips. 

"Then… Why did you say you have a crush on Camille?" Eugene couldn't take it anymore and asked. 

"Because I like her." He replied to everyone's confusion. 

Camille scratched her head and explained, "On the way, we saw what a real 'crush' is." 

5 minutes ago…

They had come across a young couple lightly pecking each other on the lips. Who the couple was they didn't know as they quickly ran away in shock and in horror. 

Camille and Ppa had a quick meeting as they hid away, 

"Does dating require that mouth to mouth action?" Ppa couldn't take it in the end and asked Camille. 

".... I don't know… I presume so." Camille responded and nodded.

"Okay. Let's try it." Ppa said before leaning in close to Camille. Of course just when their lips were about to touch a loud crack was heard, stopping them from any sort of action. The loud crack naturally belonged to that of someone stepping on a branch. 

".... I don't know but I don't think … this is it." Ppa said with his hands on his chin. 

Camille nodded, "Me too. You were too close for comfort." 

Ppa nodded in agreement.

"I guess dating isn't for us?" Ppa said to which Camille nodded. In the end, they both shook their hands and successfully broke up. 

"... What did you think dating was?" Watt couldn't help but ask; his voice was filled with nothing but speechlessness. 

"Best friends with females?" Ppa answered. 

"...." Everyone was speechless. 

Eugene was silent for a while before she began to explain what dating means, "Dating is one of the last steps to start a family." She replied in simple terms. 

Camille and Ppa's eyes widened in shock! They both turned to each other with disgust on their faces.

'Now they know…' Eugene sighed and shook her head. 

"W, We! What have we done!" Ppa and Camille said in unison to which Eugene shrugged her shoulders. 

And that was the end of Camille and Ppa's dark dating history that Eugene, Watt, Aernest, and two other people witnessed. As to who the two people are, that is a secret for the future. 

The students got 30 minutes of rest before they were ordered to gather around. Though this orientation is meant for everyone to unite, teams a, b, and c combined number to 150 students which makes it hard to do activities together. The only time the three groups are together is when they have to be instructed. Another activity that involved everyone is the campfire gathering later on in the night. 

Their two next schedules are to set up their tents and to cook and eat. Eugene is an expert in setting up tents hence she had no problems setting up hers at all. Aernest also had no problem as they were both trained in the military to prepare in case they had to sleep outside at night. They were even trained how to make a small shelter out of natural resources though that is another story for another time.

After the easy setup, Eugene went around helping other students who were struggling. 

The female aristocrats were of course surprised that Eugene was even helping them and froze for a bit however thanked Eugene after she was done. Their opinions of Eugene also became better as Eugene explained to them how to set it up. Eugene together with the girls set up the tents and it wasn't long before the girls understood what to do and did it themselves.

Though they were aristocrats and setting housing was beneath them, they also didn't want to be embarrassed if Eugene, who belonged to their circle, could do it. 

After Eugene was done, she went back to Camille and encountered Aernest who was also done helping the boys out. He nodded to acknowledge that everything was fine over by his side.
