Chapter One
Camp Watepie

BPOV

"Come on Rose! You don't have to pack your mall into those suitcases. We're only going to be gone 2 months, you can survive on a suitcase. Besides, we'll be spending most of our time in our uniforms. You know how impractical high heels are in the woods, you'll break your leg in those."

It was ridiculous how she wanted o pack all her thing for two months in the great outdoors. Camp counselor jobs at Camp Watepie was extremely fun but it demanded a ton of climbing, not to mention pesky little blood-suckers. I was referring to mosquitoes, not some of the snobby little brats that always invariably ended up there because the parents needed a vacation, a two month vacation, from their little "angels." If you asked me, it was their fault they were like that. Who forced them to give into every little demand they had? They'd dug their own hole.

Rosalie finally came down, dragging 3 suitcases laden with clothes. It was so hard for people to imagine we were related sometimes, we could be complete opposites. Not just because of our physical appearance either, it was everything. She was tall and blond while I was short and had dark brown hair, she loved to shop and show off while I preferred to read and hang out with friends. Maybe show off was too harsh a word, it was more like putting herself out there. She could be a real tough bitch but was also one of the nicest people when you got to know her. That was one thing the three of us have in common. Rosalie, my brother Jasper and I were one of the nicest people you could ever meet.

Jasper looked very much like Rose, only in male formation. They could have easily been fraternal twins. Both tall, blond and blue eyed. Jasper was a little reserved and pensive but a real sweetheart and an awesome brother. As soon as he saw Rose trudging down the stairs hauling three suitcases, he went up and took two. I said he was a sweetheart, yeah, but he's also an older brother sweetheart. He was defiantly going to leave her with something to make her regret bringing all this stuff. Once we were loaded, we drove off, heading for Camp Watepie.

Camp Watepie was the most beautiful thing on the planet. Okay, it wasn't but it was pretty close. Lush, emerald green vegetation was everywhere, flowers in full bloom, and the lakes, they were something else. The one on the boys side was surrounded by trees, plants and flowers. More so than any other part of the camp. The lake on the girls side was in the middle of colorful plants and various bridges. A semi open field of grass was spread to one side, the supervisor AKA Manager and part owner welcomed us. She quickly informed us our cabins were chosen based on our interviews. Here in Watepie the cabin placements were chosen with great care; this was somewhat of a battle of the sexes. They always said it makes for healthy competition and created respect between the sexes. It was just a Yin-Yang thing if you asked me. We were to get into groups - already chosen for us - and report to the main hall for instructions on what our training would consist of for the day. We needed to do this every day for the whole week, by the end of the week, they would rearrange the cabin assignments if necessary. Each of us would be sharing our cabin with another person, our co-counselor. Leaving us to it, we made our way to our cabins to unpack and familiarize ourselves with our co-counselors.

My cabin was lovely and it seemed to me just large enough for eight little girls and two teens. This was my first year in this camp, I'd done counseling every summer for the past two years but never in this camp. Twin beds occupied most of the little room, two dressers and a bedside table left just enough room to get by. My current co-counselor's name was Jessica Stanley. She was okay, pretty nice and everything but a little full of herself. The first thing she said when I told her it was my first year in Watepie was, "God, I can't believe they gave me a first year as a co-counselor." It wasn't the way she said it that was mean, just what she said.

The "main hall" as they called it was used as a dining room and a conference room. Gathered there, everyone sat, ate, and talked to each other about how excited they were about training and getting their charges. It seemed as if everyone was hoping to het relocated into White Jasmin or Oakshore, the main Yin and Yang cabins. If you asked me, the names left a lot to be desired but whatever. I sat with my brother and sister, exchanging information about our co's and cabins. It wasn't long before we were holding our aching sides, trying to catch our breath while laughing. We really did have an awesome time together. We were in our own little world, chairs scraped and the chatter died out, we nearly missed it too but a booming laugh broke through and alerted us. Everyone was leaving, going to hit the sack early to get up at the crack of dawn. That was the part I hated most but I wasn't one to complain. In every camp I'd ever been to, we'd always rose early.

As we walked out among the counselors, I lost sight of Jasper and Rosalie. I was looking around for them when I bumped into what I thought was a tree. When I looked up, I saw it was a boy around my age, he was huge, he easily cleared my head by a foot and a half if not two. Already tanned dark, he had a Californian look about him, his dark hair had parts of light brown hair in it.

"Sorry," I said, rubbing my shoulder, arm, and part of my chest, trying not to be very obvious about it.

He looked down at my voice, seeming to notice me for the fist time. "For what?" he had a goofy smile on his face.

"Crashing into you." I made it sound like a question. He seemed undisturbed.

Before I could say anything more another guys voice spoke up. "Stop aggravating the girl, Emmett." The voice was smooth and seemed to wrap around me like ribbons of silk water and the oncoming darkness. Strange tingles ran down my spine.

"Aw, you're no fun," 'Emmett' said to the voice, to me he said, "I was just kidding, it's okay, no problem."

Rosalie and Jasper chose that moment, bless them, to find me. "There you are, Bella, we've been wondering where you were, come on, we're going to go to Jasper's cabin." Jasper pulled me to his side, leading the way through the dying sun's last rays.

I looked after the lovely girl who left, being towed by a tall blond and the guy I could assume was her boyfriend. Thinking about her questioning tone, I turned to Emmett. "You lug, do you always have to flirt with every girl you see? She was being serious, I bet you did some mighty damage, she's tiny; your best response was 'do you now?'" I didn't even know why I was getting so worked up about it, I usually never said anything to Emmett about girls, that was his business.

"What's the matter, Eddie, jealous you didn't spot her first?" Was I? I pushed the thought aside, I thought she was attractive, that's all. "Besides, you don't need to go all green monster on me, I liked the hot blond who led her away. Did you see her? She was so hot." I rolled my eyes, typical Emmett. I was starting to wonder why it was that I convinced him to come to Watepie with me. I liked this whole camp thing but it definitely wasn't Emmett's element. He was more the play video games and chase skirts type of guy. Okay, his parents wanted a change of scenery for Emmett but I don't think he's going to do that well. There was no way I was going to let him screw getting Oakshore up for me.

It was silly to care but it was the best male cabin, had a great view and I liked being in charge for the competitions. I had won the Cup since I was 17 and I wasn't going to give it up.

I just thought of this and had been waiting for the end of school to post it, tell me what you think. The chapters should most definitely get longer. I'm not entirely sure if I'll keep the rating or change it, but either way, tell me what you think.
