"Father I'm
home." A blonde haired boy named Edward shouted.
He handed
his tennis raquet to a maid & walked into the large dining room.
A tall middle aged man was standing by the window. He had blonde
hair and was very handsome.
He turned and smiled, "Welcome
home Edward!" Edward sat at the large table.
He loved living
in a mansion. Making everyone jealous, it felt good.
"How was
tennis practice?" His father asked, sitting next to him.
The
tired boy wiped the sweat off his head." It was good. A bit hard
though." He replied.
The room was silent for a moment, until
a maid walked in. "Hey, you!" Edward said to her. She
turned towards him, "Yes sir?" "Bring me a glass of
filtered water." He snapped his fingers. "Yes sir."
She walked into the kitchen.
The maid came back in and Edward took
it from her. She walked away as Edward took a sip.
"Oh, yes,
Edward I'm sending you to Summer Camp." The father told him,
after much hesitation.
Edward's eyes went wide as he dropped the
glass cup."You're what!?" Edward stood up.
A maid came
in and began to clean up the glass. "I'm sending you to summer
camp." He stated again.
"Father, WHY?!" Edward
asked, frusterated.
"I went to summer camp at your age. I
had a fun time. Plus every summer you lay around with your friends,
go swimming, and spend money.
I want you to do something more
valuable this summer." His father said sternly."Father!
That's what you're suppose to do during summer!" Edward yelled
bitterly. "Well Edward, I don't care." His expression was
serious. Edward glared, completely outraged his father would do this.
"You'll be leaving on Monday." The man said as Edward ran
upstairs.
A few miles away an eager mother was driving home to
tell her daughter some exciting news. She parked in the driveway and
ran inside.
"Bailey! Bailey!" She chirped. No one wad
downstairs. She ran upstairs and heard loud music. "Of
course..." She muttered.
Quickly, she ran inside the room. "
She loves me, she loves me not." A young girl sang while jumping
on the bed. Her mother turned down the volume.
The girl named
Bailey turned, "Mom!"
"Sorry honey! But I have
exciting news!" She smiled. "Oh really?" She sat down
on the bed. "Yeah really." Her mom sat next to her.
"I
signed you up for summer camp!" She exclaimed. Bailey frowned,
"Why?" Her mom looked at her,"I think it will be a fun
experience!" "But mom," Bailey rolled off the bed, "I
don't want to go."
Her mother thought for a moment. "Bailey,
you can meet cute boys..." Her mother leaned down. "Hmm..."
Bailey smiled, "Okay!"
On the other side of town the
same "exciting" news would be told to another.
An older
girl, probably around sixteen, walked into the living room with a
smirk. "Hey squirt, guess what I heard." She said to a
younger boy.
"That Mom & Dad are sending you away?"
He said with a smirk. "Ha, very funny," She lifted up the
couch and her brother fell off.
He layed their and glared. "But
no, I heard Mom & Dad are sending your bad self to Summer Camp."
She grinned.
He immedietly sat up, "Summer Camp!?" She
sat on the couch. "Yeah, Maxxie." She ruffled his hair. Max
ran into the kitchen.
"Ma', why are you sending me to summer
camp!?" He slammed his fist on the table. "Oh, Violet told
you?" His mother took a sip of tea.
"Yes..." Max
muttered.
"All you do each summer is lay around until all of
our friends come back, then all of you go around causing trouble.
It's very frusterating having to deal with it every summer." She
explained to him. Max glared at her. "I don't really know what
else to say, Max. But your dad said you are going." She swirled
her tea with her spoon.
"Whatever." Max stuffed his
hands into his pockets and left.
Those next two days were spent
calling their friends telling them about how they had to go to Summer
Camp.
It was early Monday, the day of departure. A limo drove up
near the bus. Everyone stared as the two men walked out. "I have
to ride a bus?" Edward had a frown on his face. "Yes,
Edward." Replied his father. The driver started unpacking.
"Remember to write Bailey!" Bailey's mom hugged her.
"Okay, mom." Bailey replied. "Your dad will be home by
the time you come back." Her mom said. "Okie-doke!"
Bailey smiled. Her mom hugged her tightly once more, then let her go.
"Have fun Bailey!" Bailey waved to her mom, then got on the
tree-colored green bus.
"Bye Max. Have fun!" His mother
hugged him. "Try to be good." His dad patted his shoulder.
"Mmhmm..." Max replied. Violet ruffled his hair, "See
ya dork!" Max fixed his hair & slowly walked onto the
bus.
"Goodbye Edward." Edward's father patted his
shoulder. "Goodbye... Father." Edward mumbled. "You'll
have fun Edward, without those brats -- I mean friends you hang out
with." He told him. Edward stared at him a moment. "Right..."
He grumbled and walked onto the grubby bus.
In Edward's luck he
found a one person seat in the back, and it wasn't taken. He rushed
to it quickly and sat down. 'At least I don't have to sit by some...
poor person.' He thought.
As the bus started moving kids waved to
their parents. There were two buses, the one Edward got on had ages
12-14, the other 9-11.
In seat 24 Max was sitting, he went into
his pockets and found his green squishy ball. Max smirked &
looked up at the bus driver.
' This bus is so loud...' Edward
thought bitterly.
"To throw it or not to throw it?" Max
whispered to himself jokingly. He squished the green ball in his hand
& smirked, "To throw it!" He heaved the green ball at
the driver's head.
Direct Hit!
The kids all started to laugh.
The bus driver stopped the bus and glared.
"WHO DID THAT!?"
He growled. No one answered.
He started walking back inspecting
everyone. Max was laying against the window with a smug look on his
face.
He reached Seat 24. "It was you!" He leaned in.
"Me? Never. I'd never do such a thing to a handsome devil like
you!" He pats the driver's face.
Some of the kids begin to
snicker.
"Very funny kid, what's your name?" The bus
driver glared. "Max, sir." He smirked.
"Well Max,
next time don't put your name on the ball." He smirked, handing
him the ball. The driver patted his head and walked away.
The
kids began laughing as Max stared at the ball.
"How
Immature..." Edward snickered. Max gripped the ball and smirked.
Edward ajusted his silver sunglasses and sighed.
Up front Bailey
was laying against the window sleeping.
"Eww! She's
drooling!" A girl pointed out to her friend. "Eww!"
Her friend pointed at the drool.
Bailey was now awake, eyes still
closed.
'Oh 'eff! I'm drooling!' She thought.
Bailey turned,
still pretending to be sleeping and whiped the drool off her
mouth.
Max turned towards the backseats of the bus, where he saw
Edward, then he threw the ball towards Edward's face.
Squish!
It
stuck to his face. He instantly glared at Max and began peeling it
off. Max grinned a toothy smile.
Edward smelled something foul...
then he saw the trash can. He gave Max an evil grin.
Max looked
back giving him a "Don't you dare" look.
Edward put his
hand over the trash can, "Oops," he smirked and let the
ball go into the trash can. Some kids in the back had been watching
and stared wide eyed, same as Max.
'Looks like I've made a new
enemy...' Max turned forward, smirking.
About an hour or so later
the bus stopped in front of the camp.
The bus driver yelled,
"Everyone off!" as he stepped out the door.
Kids
scrambled to get out.
Bailey had just woken up, she sat up and
looked around. Then she stood up and got out of her seat, cutting in
front of someone of the back of the line.
"Uh, excuse me
"Miss", I was in front of you." A snotty voice said to
Bailey.
Bailey turned to see some snotty rich boy, "Uh,
excuse me," Edward nodded, waiting for her to move, "I
don't care!" She smiled and walked off the bus.
Edward stared
in shock but reluctantly got off too.
The driver had been passing
out luggage, or well throwing, when Edward saw his two big bags.
He
looked around at the kids carrying their own luggage; he frowned. "I
guess I'll have to carry my own luggage..." He grudgingly picked
up his bags and slowly walked in.
All the kids gathered around
three teenage guys.
"Welcome to Summer Camp, Kiddos!"
The one in the middle smiled.
