《Not So Normal - A Corbyn Besson FanFic》Chapter - Backyard Adventures
Advertisement
We all reunited at the end of the day and walked out of school together to get our bikes, Corbyn took a little longer than us as we went to get his little sister as well. Once he came back with Ashley we all hopped on our bikes and started our trip home.
Zach, Jonah and I drop off our bikes in our garage, change our clothes quickly and walk over to Lily's house, we all decided on the way back that we should go and explore the forests beyond our backyards. My house is right next to Lily's so we are the first ones at her's, the others following shortly behind. I walk into her house, greeting Mr and Mrs Anderson and quickly grabbing a couple bags to put stuff in. We all then walk straight through the house to the backyard.
Their backyard is a similar size to mine, a patio and pool at the front and the back filled with grass and trees, and that is right where we're going, into the tree. We didn't know how far we would travel or how long we'd be gone so we brought a couple small backpacks containing water, snacks and swimsuits. Off we went, adventuring into the Hawaiian forests.
As we started walking through the trees, I was at the back and the seven in front of me were in the midst of what seemed like another stupid converstation about a ridiculous conspirasy theory. Meanwhile I was taking in our surroundings, all around us were trees, probably over 100 feet tall. The forest is brimming with the noises of its inhabitants, whatever they may be. The noises that stick out to me are the light, happy chirps of the birds. I've always loved the sounds of birds, they sound so happy, no matter whether they're in a storm or in the scorching sun, there's just something about them which always sounds so happy.
We've been walking for about 10 minutes now and I'm so caught up in the environment that I don't hear Jonah and Jordyn shouting for me to watch out. By the time I process what they're saying, I'm already face first in the dirt from tripping over a decently sized log. I hear the seven of them burst into a fit of laughter as I start laughing myself. I feel a pair of hands either said of me as Zach and Corbyn lift me up by my arms. "Did you not hear us shouting?" Jordyn speaks between laughs.

"Well obviously not otherwise I wouldn't have fallen face first in the dirt!" I retort, unable to stop myself from laughing as I wipe the dry dirt off my face. "I was too caught up in our beautiful surroundings that maybe you guys should appreciate more," I say, sassily placing my hands on my hips. The others hear what I say and actually take a second to look around at all the wild-life around us.
"It is beautiful," Jack murmurs, now also caught up in admiring the forest just as I was. I smile and walk forward slightly, realising we had reached a river. Lily takes a step next to me
"We should follow it upstream, there could possibly be a waterfall at the top of it," she says, making me jump slightly, not realising she was there. The others come next to us and agree as they turn to start walking upstream. BeforeI follow them, I tie a piece of coloured fabric around the closest tree to me as a marker so we don't get lost.
"Good idea Gingey... good idea," Lily mumbles the last part of her sentence as I catch up to the others.
We all get a little bit impatient after walking for about 20 minutes, until we start to hear the faint, heavy sound of waterfalling. As if we were all thinking the same thing, we all look at each other with excited looks on our faces and start jogging towards the sound. We jog for a couple minutes until we reach a glorious, big waterfall, surrounded by a small lake. We all stare at it in awe. It looks like something out of a movie, because of the angle the sunlight is hitting the water, there was a small, but bright rainbow formed at the top of the waterfall. It's beautiful. The water's crystal clear and the whole area was secluded with trees for miles around. There looks to be a small clearing of grass on top of the waterfall which I point out the others. Daniel suggests sitting up there to have a water and snack break, which we all gladly agree to.

There's, thankfully, a clear, not too steep, grassy slope up to the top of the waterfall, it's probably roughly 60-70 feet tall and the view's amazing from the top. You can see above the trees but you can see through them down the river and the lake below us. At the top of the waterfall the river continues to flow upstream leading to somewhere further in the forest, but for now, we sit down on the rather large area of perfectly green grass at the top of the waterfall.
We take off our backpacks and take out our snacks and sit there, eating and once again, having pointless conversation. It's moments like this that make me almost believe that my life isn't real, like it's just some sort of made up story.
I'm stripped from my thoughts as I hear the sound of beautiful voices, singing softly together.
I look up and see Zach, Jonah, Daniel, Corbyn and Jack all singing together. As I focus more on their voices, I hear that they're singing 'Make you feel my love' by Adele. Since when could they sing so amazingly? They sound so coordinated, have they planned this before? I have so many questions right now but it looks like I'll have to wait until their little performance is over. I mean, I'll happily wait, I don't think I can get enough of their voices already, they sound amazing together.
The boys finish their song and the girls and I stare at them in awe. Corbyn looks at me smiling at them and puts his head down blushing.
"That," Lily starts.
"Was," Jordyn continues.
"AMAZING!!" I finish, excessively loud.
All the boys look at us, slightly confused but start laughing. "Did you guys practice that or something? Like you seemed so coordinated," I say, still astonished by their flawless performance.
"No, I mean I just heard Jack start singing and I guess we all just joined in," Daniel chuckles mid-sentence. All the boys nod, agreeing with Daniel's statement.
"You guys are so good! You could start a band or something," Jordyn chimes in.
"Aha yeah, why don't we make a band?" Jonah laughs, not taking what Jordyn said seriously.
"Ooooo, what are we gonna be called?" Corbyn joins in, continuing to make a joke of the situation.
Daniel, Jack and Zach look at each other and speak simultaneously, "How about why don't we?" Now all the boys were in a fit of laughter while us girls were just rolling our eyes. I swear they all have the same brain
"She was serious you know," Lily expresses. The boys stop laughing, looking at us and noticing that we're being serious and start laughing again. We roll our eyes, yet again.
"As if we would be able to actually get anywhere," Zach scoffs.
"With voices like that you could be world famous!" I retort. Apparently it was now the boys' turn to roll their eyes. After arguing back and forth about starting a band, we blow off the idea and decide to get changed into our swimsuits and hop in the lake.

He is in the final days of his education at the elite Academy, where at the last minute he’s assigned a new teammate, Elvira. She is a total novice, but her unique abilities make her a promising addition to his team. We join the pair on their journey, Hitori, fighting to prove he belongs amongst the ranks of warriors indisputably his better, and Elvira, struggling to adapt to a world where the trophy for second place is a tombstone. Meanwhile, ancient and powerful forces clash in the shadows, racing across the globe to secure powerful artifacts capable of upending the foundations of the world. New chapters released every MWF. Sorry for the random tiny chapters. I structured and uploaded this as a series of scenes, some of which just didn't need to be very long. I could probably attach the "sub-scenes" to previous chapters, but that'd only be covering it up, so I'm not sure its worth it. Anyway if you find them annoying, let me know, and I'll put some more thought into it. I did, at least, make a point of always posting at least a thousand words on any given day (after I noticed the problem), which hopefully mitigates the problem.
