It was 11 o'clock in the evening.

Dale prepared to sneak out of his camping tent; he brought his flashlight and wore a black cap. He peeked
outside. Three teachers who guided 15 students on this camping trip appeared asleep in their own tent. He raised the tent’s opening.

“Hey Dale, we need to wake up early tomorrow, why are you sneaking out?” said Will, his classmate, and partner from the same tent; there
are two students per tent. Will held Dale’s wrist.

“Just go back to sleep, Will. I’ll get back here on time.” Dale brushed off Will’s hand.

Will yawned and said, “Suit yourself, the teachers are asleep anyway. Remember not to get lost. Good night.” He turned to his left and slept.

Dale got out of the tent. He walked several meters away from the camp before turning on his flashlight.

A path outlined by rocks guided Dale then he heard a stretched elastic band and a squeak. He pointed the flashlight towards a tree and saw a
squirrel run out of sight. Dale walked closer and noticed a red elastic band hanging on the tree branch. He whispered to himself, “What’s this
doing here?”

His flashlight turned to the right side of the path. He glimpsed another red band so he stepped out of the track. He walked towards it and saw
another elastic band further. Dale kept looking for the next and followed the trail into the unfamiliar part of the forest. A few minutes later, he
sighted a house. His flashlight was in that direction and he kept approaching it. It was a big house and appeared sturdy. Wooden planes
blocked the windows. The door seemed unlocked so he pushed it open; the door creaked as it swung open. Dale walked in and uttered, “This
house is so big but it’s only one story. Such a waste it’s empty; there’s a lot of cobwebs.”

“Who’s there?” spoke a girl’s voice. Dale led his flashlight to where he heard the voice, upwards. There was a spiral staircase with wooden
steps towards the opened rooftop; Dale saw the sky.

“Are you also from our student’s camp?” Dale stepped on the staircase and aimed at the rooftop.

A girl’s head showed up from the roof’s trapdoor, “Uh-huh. Hey! Turn that off; it’s dazzling!” Dale’s flashlight directed to her face, blinding
her.

“Ah! Sorry, it’s a bit dark here,” said Dale, putting down his flashlight and turning it off. “Mia? Don't you always go to sleep early? How
come you’re here?” He continued his steps upward and looked at her face.

“Of course I snuck out. But I can’t see your face, remove your hat and come here for a while,” said Mia. Her head faded from sight when
Dale drew closer to the top. Only Dale’s covered face appeared to look at the wooden balcony. Mia was sitting on its floor and snatched his
cap; she laughed, “Dale! I didn’t expect the good kid sneaked out under the teachers’ noses. You won’t tell on me for sure.”

Dale stopped walking, “Yes, that will be a trap for myself. Are you sure it’s safe there?”

“Relax, five people can occupy this space.” She put down the cap and leaned on the balcony.

Dale didn’t move and said, “How did you found this place?”

“This used to be a vacation house for watching the moon and stars. I read it on some child’s diary downstairs two days ago. Also, I found this
house by breaking the teacher’s rules,” Mia giggled, staring at the sky.

Dale turned his back, “I think we should go back, it’s not that safe in an old house in the middle of the forest.”

Mia replied, “The forest is the home of wild animals and you dared sneak out of the camp without thinking about that. You also entered an
unfamiliar aged house and you’re only nervous now.”

Dale sat on the stairs, “I’ll wait for you here if you don’t want to go back yet.”

“Oh, someone’s worried about me. The sky is bright tonight so I might stay until I fall asleep. Are you going to stay down there?” said Mia.
She was smiling when Dale started climbing up. He sat down opposite her and looked up.

“If I wasn’t scared, I wouldn’t have brought a flashlight,” said Dale that made Mia laugh.

Mia peeked at the forest around. “Is it that dark there? The trees are not that dense. You just focused on using your flashlight that you didn’t
try to look at the bright sky. Look how light penetrates through the bunch of leaves and lights up the path for you.”
“You know it doesn’t work that way. If you’re there, it’s darker,” Dale turned his head to look at another group of stars.

Mia looked at him, “Then you shouldn’t stay there at a time you don’t want to. Do not get stuck with things you don’t want to do either. You
can calm your mind and just admire the star-lighted sky tonight. So are you staying?” She smiled and gazed at the stars.

Dale whispered, “I do like stars.” Mia hummed.
