I woke up sun seeped through my blinds glistening off my hair as i slipped into my slippers and walked down stairs for breakfast. My mind was scrambling for the reason why i set my alarm so early. Then i remembered when i noticed the brown haired boy sitting right across from me with a crazy grin that could make any girl's knees buckle.
"Oh my gosh Jack i forgot!" I shouted and ran up the stairs. Rudy made us sign up for a youth camp to further develop our social skills, all thanks to Jerry and Eddie who got beat up because they were throwing Falafel balls at a bunch of 5th graders. So now thanks to them i have to load a bus with a bunch of kids i've never seen before on the first day of summer vacation. Also i have to deal with a bunch of girls falling over Jack, not that i`m jealous but i don`t want to be trying to talk to him and being interrupted. So here i am drying off and attempting to find a single lone positive out of this whole situation and there he is sitting at my table downstairs probably playing video games with my little brother and letting him win. I decided to wear some jean short-shorts and a light yellow tank top. I was hoping the seats weren`t leather on the bus or i would burn. I grabbed my Bag that i pre-packed. I walked down the stairs and Jack looked up from his seat on the floor and looked slightly dazed but recovered and jumped up immediatley. He waved good bye to my parents and held the door as i hugged them.
"After you my princess." He said while sweeping his hand in a joking gesture. Which caused my thoughts to erupt into a wave of overly thought out remarks.
"What your not carrying me?" He laughed, i noticed a slight twinkle in his eye and before i knew it i was being carried piggy back style through the streets of seaford.
"Jack, put me doen everyone is staring." I shouted at him as he laughed and chanted. "All hail Princess Crawford." I finally gave up and he shut up but continued to carry me. The sun was coming up through the trees as we walked along the sidewalk towards the bus station Rudy told us everyone was meeting at."So Kim, are you excited?" I saw my oppurtunity and leapt to the ground smiling as he frowned.
"Oh you poor baby. Don't worry you will have lots of time to snuggle with me after all this is a 3 week camp." I noticed his face expression change and i blushed realizing what i had just said. "Or we could cuddle right now." He said grabbing me in a bear hug and lifting me up bridal style and carrying me right into a crowd of people. I looked over noticing that this was the bus stop and Jack seemed to notice too as everybody turned in our direction. Thankfully Milton, Jerry and Eddie were here to cause a very good distraction fighting over one of Milton's moms vegetable cookie which even though the boys thought were disgusting they did happen to be the only edible thing obtainable to them without commiting a crime.
Jack shifted his gaze over to me. He giggled. "Everybody thinks your weird now." He whispered in my ear. "What you are the one that screamed lets cuddle right now." I said a little bit to loudly as every camper looked over at me and Jack again. I noticed the girls checking him out and occasionaly giving me a one over. Feeling very uncomfortable i turned to Jack who smirked at me. He was staring at me and immediatley shifted his gaze away from me. I noticed an angry look in his eye. His stare was enough to make every girl in the parking lot freak out as much as when somebody wins a Ikea gift card.
"What's wrong Jack?" I asked. "Those guys over there are checking you out." I glanced over to see three ackward guys stumbled to act cool as they noticed i looked their way. I wonder why Jack was so angry it's not like any of those guys were any kind of threat to me. I placed a hand on him.
"Don't worry Jack you don't have to be jealous." I teased him. " What i'm not jealous i just didn't want them making a move on you or anything." He immediatley said. Before i could reply the bus's doors opened and Jack grabbed me leading me to the back of the i walked through the isle of the cooled bus i noticed Jack was gripping me by the hand and every other girl on the bus seemed to notice it too. Jerry and Milton were sitting together across from Eddie who was sitting beside some guy that they were talking to before they entered the bus.
I sat next to Kim on the bus obviously taking the window seat. "You ever hear of ladies first?" She commented with her hands on her hips. "I figured such a strong beatiful girl like you could handle yourself." She smiled. "You are such a flirt." She giggled and sat down, i slipped my arm around her. "Is that why you have such a big crush on me or is it because i am such a gentleman?" She laughed and i got lost in her eyes, her perfect face and her smooth voice that i could listen to all day. She looked at me and smiled. I snapped out of my daze and ackwardly laughed. I looked out the window an noticed that we were driving by a forest and there was a slight clearing and i noticed a lake. The water glistened from the morning sun.
The bus abruptly came to a stop. I woke up and noticed Kim's head on my shoulder. She woke up and seemed to notice it too. I looked out the window to see a Campus like place. It had a field a path to the lake. What seemed like an entrance to a hiking spot. There was so much to take in. A short enthusiastic man stood up in the middle of the isle.
"Hello everyone. May you please follow the signs matching your group colour." I looked out the window to see all the different signs Yellow, Green, Red, Blue, Purple, Black and Pink. I remembered that at the registration the sign-up lady had given me a green shirt.I got my luggage and walked towards the building that the signs were pointing too. Me and Kim seemed to be Green. I walked into the building. It looked like a gymnasium, it had a stage though. I sat down on the ground leaning against the back with Kim. A girl stood up with a green shirt. who was ushering the other bus's in walked up to the front.
"Hello everybody and welcome to Camp." He announced and the gymnasium exploded with sound as the three hundred or more kids applauded.
