A/N I just noticed how terribly written the first four chapters are so I'm thinking about rewriting them with more detail. Until then enjoy the chapter.
"Oh cheer up Chastity," I heard my little brother, Hunter say. "We're going to summer camp; it's going to be awesome!"
I tuned my brother out as he continued to talk fifty miles an hour about how great camp was going to be at the newly reopened Camp Crystal Lake. I, myself am not a camper since I was fifteen; I somehow got dragged into being a consoler by my uptight parents. They thought it would be safer for Hunter if I went along with him and waste my summer babysitting him.
"How much longer until we get there," I questioned my mom, who wouldn't stop fidgeting.
She glanced back at me, before yelling to my dad to stop the car.
"I can't do this," she said, once dad slammed on the breaks. "He isn't ready Harold, he just isn't ready. He can't even swim yet, and we expect he will be fine at a camp with a lake surrounding it. Oh and what if the other kids make fun of him because of his . . . disorder."
My dad and I gasped in shock; we promised as a family back when Hunter was born, we would try not to bring anything up that involved Hunter's disorder.
"Hannah, stop this madness," my dad said in a serious tone. "Hunter is ten years old, he can take care of himself. Besides he won't be alone, Chastity is going to be there with him."
I looked at my little brother, who was oblivious to what was going on, and felt a pang of sadness sweep over me. Hunter was diagnosed with Down Syndrome when he was born. For those of you who don't know what it is, it's a genetic disorder in which a human has three chromosomes in chromosome 21. You're only supposed to have two. So, my family made a promise that when would try hard not to talk about it in front of him. My mom felt that if we did, then it would make Hunter feel bad about himself.
"Mom don't worry," I say to her. "I'll take care of Hunter; I won't let him out of my sight. Anyway, he's been excited about this camping trip since the beginning of the school year. Do you really want to wreck this for him?"
Mom sighs in defeat and turns to look out the window. Dad turns and looks at me, mouthing thank you. I just nodded. The rest of the way to the camp was silent, except when Hunter thought he saw Bigfoot, it turned into a huge argument.
"Okay, so you know what number to call if there is an emergency," my mom asked for the billionth time.
I let out a long breath and nodded. Mom was about to ask again, when my dad pulled her away from me and Hunter, and into the car.
"Bye kids," he waved. "Don't have too much fun!"
Oh don't worry, we won't. My parents started to drive away, when I felt some touch my shoulder.
"So, you must be the other consoler that we've been waiting for," said a deep male voice. "Glad you finally arrive, Kylie thought we'd have to call the National Guard."
I turned around to look into the most gorgeous green eyes I have ever seen. What made it even better was that his black hair fell over one eye, which made him cuter.
"I know I'm hot and all but would you quit staring, it's rude," the boy said after a moment of silence.
And there goes the cute factor, the guy is arrogant. Great, why did all the hot guys have to be stuck up like that? I rolled my eyes and walked away from him.
"Come on Hunter, let's go find our cabin," I said.
Hunter followed me like an obedient dog, after watching the scene with amusement. As we walked away; I heard the boy following after us.
"Hey, wait I was just kidding," he said.
I didn't listen; I already had my first impression of him. When we got deeper into the woods, I started to feel a chill, like someone was watching us.
"Oh look Chastity, it's a lake," Hunter said gleefully.
Hunter let go of my hand and started to run towards the lake.
"Don't get to close, or you'll fall in," I warned.
He waved his hand, showing that he heard me. I sat down on the grass and watched my little brother; from a distance you would think he is a normal child. I wish it was really like that, so he wouldn't have to suffer. Hunter doesn't like to admit it, but he gets teased a lot at school for being the way he is, I know because I saw him being pushed down after school one day. Hunter, will never say it hurts him or that he wishes he was someone else, that's what I admire about him.
"Hey, Chastity right," I heard a voice behind me say.
When I turn to look, my face turns sour. It was the jerk.
"Yeah, it is," I said. "What do you want?"
The guy sighs and sits down next to me, I move away.
"I'm sorry for acting the way I did," he said "I should not have said that, I was trying to be funny but I guess it didn't work out. So, can we start over?"
He puts out his hand; I stare at it for a moment before talking.
"I'm Chastity, nice to meet you," I say, while shaking his hand.
The boy seemed relieved that I accepted his sorry.
"Nice to meet you Chastity, I'm Roman," he said
I smile at him before turning my head towards the lake, watching my brother run in delight. I was enjoying the peaceful lake, until I heard a loud scream. I jumped and looked at Roman in surprise.
