"Go," he stated calmly, avoiding my gaze. A quick peck on my lips sent me spiraling back into my misery. "Enjoy your wedding." 3 Weeks at a camp could cause this? AU.

Day 1
Welcome to the Club
"Hikari, we made this vacation for you!"
I narrowed my eyes at my mother, kicking my feet on the table to lean back in my chair. Right now, she was trying to convince me to go to a vacation she signed our family up for. I had just found out today, much to my dismay.
Sighing, I ran a hand throughout my locks. "That doesn't mean I want to go…," I mumbled, watching her through my lashes. "Besides, do we HAVE to go?"
She emitted a sigh similar to my own. "Dear, yes, we do! This might be the only vacation we get in a few years. Please, come! It's only 3 weeks!"
"3 weeks at a camp, in the middle of nowhere, with nothing to do but watch the grass grow?" I rephrased, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh, come on! Can we just go already?" she breathed, seeming defeated.
I really loved my mom. But it was times like these that angered me a bit. I mean, school wasn't even over yet! There was still a week and a half yet. Honestly, that was the only part that angered me. Usually, I would jump at the opportunity to get away like this, but…
I slipped a small grin, raising my arms over my head to stretch before nodding. "Sure."
"Looks like we're here," my mom sighed, setting her head on the wheel. Opening the car door, I was surprised. The place was so lively and energetic that it made me flash a smile. A little girl, who couldn't have been more than four, bumped into my leg.
"Oopsie, sowwy miss," she giggled, walking in the opposite direction as her mother followed, apologizing.
Scanning the area, I was content with this camp. A small park, a music department, a food hall, and a track were the only places within my view.
"Masako, welcome!" A tiny voice boomed. I turned to see a man- I think it was a man, with a baby face- chatting with my mother. He suddenly acknowledged that I was there, and greeted me with open arms. "And you must be Atsushi, Masako's son. Such a handsome young man…"
I looked at him in disgust, pulling off my baseball cap. On the way here, it was unusually hot. So, I pulled out my father's baseball cap, piling in all of my hair in the process.
As my hair fell in sheets around me, the baby-faced man backed up a bit and apologized, claiming I was a 'beautiful young woman' that resembled my mother so well. Eh?
I snickered. Even that little girl that ran into me knew I was a girl…
"Hikari Hanazono," I greeted, holding out my hand. "And you are…?"
"Satoru Takishima," he stated calmly, shaking my hand with a gentle grip. "Sorry about the, err, misconception…"
"Oh, it's fine," I said, grinning through clenched teeth.
Satoru turned away to talk with my mother, saying few words to me. Leading us to our cabin, he asked the one question I wanted to avoid.
"So, where is Atsushi? I know Jiro is away with work, but…"
"Atsushi won't be coming," I muttered, gripping the door knob with excessive force. The words came out harsher than I meant them to be. But my brother…
"Hikari!" my mother shouted. Without realizing it, I had dented the door knob into a concave shape with my unconscious force.
"Sorry!" I apologized. Satoru sighed and smiled back, claiming it was no big deal as long as it still worked.
Satoru said that tomorrow morning would be worker orientation. We were welcome to join and meet the staff of the camp and get a basic map of the camp's layout.
My mother swiftly nodded, saying that we would be there. Engulfing her in a bear hug, Satoru nodded and left, closing the door behind him.
"So, you know him?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. I pulled my hair into a quick ponytail before removing the contents of my suitcase.
"We go back to old times," she merely stated. "Your father should be here soon. With all the business he's doing…"
I nodded at the sudden change of topic. Still, it was getting late and all I wanted was a nice nap.
"Well, night," I mumbled, flopping onto my bed.
"Goodnight, Hikari."
Dun dun dunnnn. What happened to Atsushi, Hikari's brother? You'll find out soon enough. (; 5-10 reviews? Pwetty pwease? xD

"And lastly, this is my son, Kei Takishima!" Said boy walked to the front of the stage next to Satoru. "He's in charge of the athletic department."
"I love you, Kei!" somebody shouted. He flashed them a… sad smile. With his brown hair, matching eyes, and annoying cowlicks that stood on top of his head, I felt a deep envy come up inside of me. Not envy for that girl, but jealousy of him. Something on the spot made me realize I hated him. And he was in charge of the athletic department, the one place I'd probably be. Still, he seemed vaguely familiar…
When the meeting ceremony commenced, everyone scrambled to meet the staff. Purposely avoiding the Takishima kid, I skidded around him to where the girl, Megumi, seemed to be.
"Hi, I'm Hikari."
