Growing up Riley and her older brother Josh went to summer camp every year and a few years she took her best friend, Maya with her. When Josh outgrew it he was a counselor and would tell Riley all the great things about being a counselor, so much she could not wait for the next year to come so she could be one herself. It was the dream for every girl who grew up there to fall in love at Camp Hope but at this point after she had been a counselor for a couple of years she never thought it'd happen to her, especially with the new guy no one knew anything about.

I am a camp counselor so a lot of the things that happen are going to be based off of what I know camp life to be like. But if you have different experiences feel free to tell me them.

"Ew. Guys slow it down with the PDA. You're acting like you won't see each other for weeks." Riley was annoyed with her best friend and her brother, ever since they made things official they won't let one another breathe.

"Oh riles you're just jealous bc you haven't found a guy as great as your brother here from camp."

"I don't want someone from camp I just haven't found a good enough guy yet."

"Sis you turned down Billy because something just didn't seem right, and what was that something Maya?"

"He didn't work at camp! Brother boing I think you're onto something." Riley was getting annoyed at these two and started to take her stuff to the car. The couple who were extremely satisfied followed behind her. Josh got in the drivers seat as Maya sat beside him and Riley got in the back.

"I can't believe I let you two bozos talk me into doing this! I hate kids and I feel like I just got saved, how am I supposed to teach them about Jesus?"

"Maya, you're going to school to be a teacher. And you being a new Christian might help you more than you think. Not all kids are the same and some are going to be rebellious and you're going to be able to relate to said kids." Riley said comforting her friend.

"Thanks riles that helps a lot, so what exactly is this week? No campers right?"

"So basically this week is just preparing us for the next 4 weeks. We do planning, make signs, plan for electives, talk about how to treat campers, grow closer as a group." Josh was so excited for this week, he loved the campers but he loved staff training week the most, you got to spend time with your friends you don't get to see all the time.

They arrived at Camp Hope and Josh dropped the girls off at their cabin as they reunited with all of their friends from previous summers. Even though Maya wasn't a counselor the past couple of years she still had friends from when she was a camper. Josh went to his cabin and noticed a new boy, there are usually a couple of new counselors every year but someone usually knows them. Unless his friend hadn't gotten there yet he looked pretty lonely so josh decided to introduce himself.

"Hi there, I'm Josh Matthews." Josh said reaching his hand out to the new boy.

"Lucas Friar." Lucas looked real nervous but he was smiling as he shook josh' hand.

"How'd you hear about camp Lucas?"

"Well actually I go to NC State and for one of my classes we were told to go outside of our comfort zones and so I looked up camps and this was the one that sounded the most interesting."

"Oh nice, well you're more than welcome to bunk with me and I'll introduce you to everyone as they come in." The guys went into the big room on the right side and Josh took the first bottom bunk he saw as Lucas took the bottom bunk beside of his new friend.

"Joshua Matthews!" Yelled his camp best friend, Farkle Minkus.

"Farkle!" Farkle and Josh hugged as Farkle put all of his stuff on the top bunk.

"New kid! Who are you?" Lucas laughed in response.

"Lucas Friar, nice to meet you." One by one everyone slowly started coming in and filling in the bunks. When it became dinner time they all headed towards the main building and Josh waited for the girls.

"You guys can go ahead if you want or you can stay and wait with me, it doesn't matter."

"No way I'm not leaving you! I want to see Riley! Is Maya here this year? I know you guys were going to talk to her about coming? Also you get to meet my girlfriend!"

"Yes we talked her into it but hold the front door, girlfriend? Why hasn't this been brought up before my little genius friend?" Josh just knew that Farkle would wait forever for Riley or Maya to say they'd date him but apparently not.

"I'll wait with you guys if you don't mind."

As Lucas said this the three girls came walking out and Lucas' mouth dropped as he had seen the most beautiful girl in the world and was hoping she was the single one.

"Farkle!" Both Maya and Riley said simultaneously as they hugged one of their best friends.

"Ladies! Farkle is no longer a single man anymore, this is my beautiful girlfriend, Isadora." The couple side hugged as she said hi to the new faces.

"Hi, what's your name?" Riley couldn't believe she did that, she went up to the new cute boy. Wow he was so cute. But she couldn't think that. She couldn't have feelings for someone, especially during camp.

"Hi, I'm Lucas Friar." Lucas was so relieved she was the single one and she seemed so adorable. Maybe this summer was going to be easier than he thought. But he hasnt told anyone the real reason as to why he was here yet. Well maybe he told them part of the truth.

Heres the first chapter! Let me know what you guys think!
