Bella POV

June 21, 2006 Afternoon

It's the first day of a summer camp I've been to all my life. This year will be my last. Next year, I can possibly be a counselor and play around with kids. Again, I write in this beloved journal I've taken to camp with me for the past 7 years. Now, I'm 16 and I could've done a lot more fun things in the summer since I can finally drive. I guess Camp Takoda calls back to me in the summer for I have spent countless days here and endless nights looking at the stars years before. A camp like no other, this place is. This is my Heaven on earth. Here, I made a lot of my friends and this year, my cabin is full of them. We also have a few new people in our cabin, but they look really sweet, so they should fit in like that. The smell of nature and the laughs of my friends keep Camp Takoda one of my favorite places in the world. I can't wait to see Jessica, Jasper, Angela, Connor, and Katie again. In the summer, I really do hope this journal will finally be filled up with different experiences, fresh memories, and new found friends.

-- Bella

"BELLA!!"

I spun around. "Oh, hey Jessica!" I called.

"Can you believe it? We're in the same cabin again! Isn't that great?"

"Yeah, Jess. And Angela and Katie are with us too."

"Yep. We're like the foursome."

"Well, I better start unpacking some of my stuff," I said as I picked up my journal and walked toward our cabin, Cabin 16.

"Alright," Jessica replied. "I'll catch up with you later."

I walked toward my cabin like any other year. I danced, skipped, and twirled toward my cabin. This was weird for me, as a big klutz I can be. Sometimes, when I get to camp, my klutziness is reduced to zero. I slowly opened the door to our cabin to see someone new. I figured she was a younger sibling of someone since she was so short. I walked past her to my luggage, and I turned around to see her face. She had a pixie face, with short, dark hair. Her eyes were a hazel color, and her teeth shown like the sun. She did look 16 but it was just her height that had me fooled. I now came to the conclusion that she was our fifth cabin-mate, Alice Cullen.

"Hey, you must be Alice. My name is Bella."



"Hello, Bella."

"Are you new here? I haven't seen you before, but you seem to know where everything in the cabin goes." She was very polite and calm, although her voice was spiked with excitement.

She laughed. "Haha, yea well, I haven't been here before for the summer, but my brother is a counselor this year and he dragged me along. He had the grand tour and all, so I followed and found where everything goes."

"Oh, I see. Well it was really nice meeting--"

"Bella," called someone from outside the cabin.

"Ahh… that must be Jasper," I told Alice. "Why don't you come with me to see him? He'd be happy to meet you, and he's really nice."

"Uh… sure? Why not?" Alice replied.

"Alright," I said. We walked side by side out the cabin door to see my tall, blonde friend, Jasper.

"Hey Jasper," I said. "How was that dreadful place you call school?"

"Fine. Better this year in fact," he replied. "Yours?"

"Same. Jasper, I want you to meet Alice Cullen," I said, as both our eyes drifted to her face. "She's my new friend and cabin-mate."

"Hey Alice," said Jasper with a smile.

"Hello," Alice replied with a bright smile on her face.

I saw a slight blush creep up to Alice's face. She started looking down at her feet and shifting around. Jasper had a slightly shy smile on his face. I looked back and forth between them, smiling. I just knew there was something there, but I wasn't entirely sure.

"Alice, would you like to go meet Jessica and Angela?" I asked.

"Sure, let's go Bella," she replied with a dazzling smile. "Jasper, would you like to come along?"

"Of course," Jasper said casually. He looked down at Alice and smiled at her.

We walked in complete solitude toward the lake that was in the center of Camp Takoda. The lake was shining with the reflection of the setting sun and the lake was still and calm. An occasional duck would disturb the lake's peace and cause it to stir. I saw Jessica sitting with Connor and Katie on a bench under a large, shady oak tree that rested peacefully near the lake. Then I saw Angela slowly come to the edge 

of the water and climb up, her skin glistening from the sun, and her perfect figure making a silhouette as she walked toward us. She waved at Jessica, Connor, and Katie then walked toward Jasper, Alice, and me. Her light brown eyes traveled from my chocolate eyes, Jasper's blue eyes, to Alice's hazel eyes, then stopped. She gazed at Alice like a new present on Christmas, then quickly met my face.

"Hey Bella," she said. "And Hey Jasper. And you… I don't believe I've met you before. I'm Angela Weber. What's your name?"

"Alice Cullen," she replied. "It's nice to meet you, Angela."

"Angela, this is our fifth cabin-mate this year," I told her. I smiled, Alice smiled, and Angela grinned back. We slowly strolled over toward the bench that Jessica, Connor, and Katie were residing on.

"Hey you guys," I stated.

A chorus of "hey" sang back to me.

"Oh, Jessica, Connor, Katie. This is Alice Cullen. She'll be in Cabin 16 with us this summer," I grinned.

"Oh, and remember Rosalie from last year? I think she's our cabin leader this year."

"Rosalie?" asked Alice. "My brother's friend's girlfriend is named Rosalie."

"Really?" I inquired. "Is she blonde and super pretty?"

"Yea," Alice laughed. "I guess we're both talking about the same person."

"Hey guys…" Angela started. "I think its time for dinner."

--

The first night's dinner was always grilled cheese sandwiches. We all ate at the same table as usual, we all sat with the same peopl, with the exception of our new friend, Alice Cullen. Alice left early saying she had to unpack more, then Angela went back to the lake for another swim, and then Jasper left saying he had to go find some things. When I was finished with dinner, I walked back to Cabin 16 looking at the darkened sky with the gleaming stars above me. I passed the lake and that nice little bench under the big oak tree aiding the beautiful lake. At the sight of the bench, I had to smile my biggest smile of the whole day. On the bench were Alice and Jasper gazing into each other's eyes.
