My friends betrayed me

L - R : Vinnie dungu, Me, Evan, WC

So, in 2014, when my classmates and I were all 16 years old, we had a Leadership Camp in Balik Pulau for 3 days and 2 nights.

There was one night where we had a War Game. It goes like this. We were separated into 4 teams and we were given a flag and a territory to protect and guard with our lives. All of us had to use a wristband to resemble our 'life'. If someone snatches our wristband, it means that we've lost or 'died' and we're out.

Okay so, Vinnie dungu and I were so excited to play this game. We came up with strategies and code names and WE WERE READY TO ATTACK. At about 7.50pm, the organisers gathered all of us, gave us our flags and wristbands and assigned us to our forts.

Vinnie, WC, Evan and I decided that we would be the first to go and attack while the rest of our team would stay at our fort to defend our fort. So the horn blew at 8pm and that marked the start of our game. So we walked out of our fort to attack other teams. It was pitch black and it was just the four of us.

As we were walking, I felt Evan gripping my wrist really hard. She said that she was really afraid of the dark and I was dumb enough to believe her. I asked her to stop holding on to my wrist so hard if not she would rip my wristband off and before I could finish my sentence, SHE RIPPED MY WRISTBAND OFF!!! I turned to Vinnie and WC in shock and WC ripped Vinnie's tag off too. Those two monkeys then ran off laughing and left us standing there dumb-founded.

WE WERE SO SHOCKED.

Little did we know that this was all planned. So here's the backstory. Everyone who was attending the Penang Bridge Run the next day was called aside during our break before the game started. They were told to be betrayers and to snatch the wristbands off their own teammate's wrists.

The moral of the whole game was to realise how it's not smart to simply trust everyone, not even your teammates. Which is true, but we didn't know that Evan and WC would do thisssss!

Since we were the first two idiots to lose, we now had 2 hours to rot in an air-conditioned room while we ranted the entire situation to our Co-curiculum teacher, Pn. Yon for a solid 45 minutes. All she did was laugh at our misery.

I'll never forget this story. Don't trust anyone!
