A/N: I love re-reading and while right now I am re-reading Wild Things. Everyone knows that the story is filled with Casey and Billy and learning more about their characters and how awesome they really are. So, I got inspiration for Wild Things and what Casey's side of the story is. So, here you go! Casey version of Wild Things! I feel like I'll be able to connect to him really well because I love backpacking, and so does he. That and he likes Sammy, which is pretty clear to see why he does. Enjoy!

Casey never imagined running into Sammy into the wilderness. Not that he's complaining about it. The first few weeks of summer were better because of running into, actually. Plus, he finally earned her trust and some great memories.

Disclaimer: The name says it all. I'm just a devoted fan to Wendelin Van Draanen.

Prologue

Dad and I have been camping since I was little. And I remember loving it so much. Just being away from the rest of the world, getting to build and make a fire; watch the stars come out and just relaxing. Later, camping also gave us a break from the drama going down at home. Eventually, camping gave way to backpacking.

When Dad jetted off for an audition in L.A., I was kind tweaked about him leaving our traditional trip, but in the end, I had a good feeling about the trip. Don't ask me why, but getting to hang out with my best bud for a week sounded like fun.

Little did Billy and I what would come out of our trip…
