" You got everything?" I asked Jacky, stumbling behind her with the heaviest box ever full of her things; both of use heading towards my car.

" Yes Cheyenne, for the billionth time." She placed the her boxes in the trunk and helped me with mine. "Stop worrying."

"I 'm not worried! I'm excited." I slammed the trunk and put my sunglasses on. "Ready to go?"

"Wait, let me get changed real quick. It's gonna be a long ride." She ran into the house and i waited on the curb.
She was right, it was going to be a long ride. From Kelowna, BC to Forks, Washington was a good 8 hour drive. We had both applied for a summer camp job on the reservation near town and both got it. Pay was supposedly really good, and you basically just take care of a few kids for a couple months. Easy money and we got to spend all sumer together before going to different universities in the fall. Jacky and I have been friends since we were babies. She has a twin named Kelly, she's a good four or five inches taller than my tiny 5'1 body, and she has curly blonde hair with big green eyes. We are completely different when it comes to anything, but eating junk food, working out and surfing as often as possible. My grandparents own a cottage on the ocean north of BC and it gets some awesome waves most days. When we finally got our licenses, we made it our goal to hit up the beach any day we could spare the hour drive there and the hour back. Which actually, was fairly often.

"Alright, let's go!" She waved goodbye to her parents and walked over to my car wearing sweats, flip flops and a light grey long sleeve, she almost matched my sweats and flip flops but I differed from the shirt, I decided on a warm and cozy flannel button down.
I opened the door on my little black Volkswagen Jetta, and squeezed in. It seemed the two surf boards on the roof were more comfortable then we would be for the next many hours.

"Were splitting the drive time, every two hours we switch. Cool?" I said, turning on the engine and stepping on the brake to shift this car into go.

"Sounds good!"

We stopped a few times to pee and top off the gas, oh and possible spend too much on junk that we barely ate. I felt so nervous but so excited. It was a pretty awesome feeling though when the GPS beeped at us as we drove into Forks. We followed the directions we were given for once we got into town. They brought us down a rocky road through bright, and I mean vivid trees; a forest that resembled the fake looking ones in National Geographic photographs. I guess this proves they really do exist.
And at the end of this road, there was the beach and the ocean. It looked ready to surf. Further to the right, before the beach, there were cabins. At least six or eight; it was difficult to tell from here, the trees were so dense. Jacky pointed out some cars parked near the beach so we parked my Jetta beside those ones and stepped out. It was nearing nine pm and much too dark to catch a quick surf. The moon was huge and the stars were bright but not enough for my taste. And I think she was thinking that too cause Jacky grabbed her sweater and jogged over to me. We walked over to a bigger cabin, made out of timber just like the other ones. There were lights on and we can here some guitar playing. I knocked on the door but I don't think they heard it because we stood outside like idiots for almost two minutes till my best friend did what she does best: just walked in, invite free. It was all lit with candles, and it smelled of ocean and musk from the woods outside. Then a whiff of chocolate chip cookies filled our noses. No one noticed us, except for a dark skinned, really tall woman who walked up to us with a plate full of cookies, I mean like almost a hundred cookies.

"Hi girls! Jacky and Cheyenne right? Your the last two to arrive." She put the plate down on an island in the kitchen. It was a huge kitchen with two fridges, two stove tops and two ovens. In other words, two of everything. "Cutting it close, I'd say." She smiled and turned towards the group seeing and laughing along with the guitars, the noises and music mixing together making such a harmonious sound. Thats when I saw Jacky staring at the woman, she was staring at four face long scars on her face. They were painful looking, but yet completely healed over.
She turned back towards us and smiled, Jacky and I quickly looked away trying to make it seem like we were observing the room for dust or trap doors. "Well it's up to you girls, would you like to meet everyone now and settle in your cabin later when you're tired; or would you like to settle in your cabin now, get some rest and meet everyone tomorrow?"

"I think we should get some rest, I am exhausted." Jacky nodded in agreement

"I don't look greet-able at the moment anyway!" Jacky added smelling her sweater and making a face. I even noticed popsicle stain on her shirt. The woman smiled and walked out the door, motioning us to follow.

"I am Emily, by the way. One of your bosses." She said as she walked us to our cabin. "My husband Sam and I just started this camp up this summer, so everyone here is new to it here." She placed an arm around each of us, even though I didn't know her, it didn't feel awkward at all.

"Really?" I asked. When she interviewed us a few weeks back, it seemed like she had done this lots of times prior.

"Yep! Why?" She smiled; her smile was distracting, it really pulled away my attention from her scars.

"The way you were talking to us before, it just seemed like you've done this many times.

"Oh, that's so sweet. Well thank you!"

"Is this our cabin?" Jacky asked looking through one of the little windows.

"Yes it is. Here you go ladies," Emily said, handing us each a rubber wrist band with a key attached to it. "We lock the doors while the kids are here, and as well as at night." We both nodded. "Alright, welcome to La Push Little Wolves Camp girls!" She started walking away. "Eight am sharp tomorrow morning, I want everyone in the main cabin for orientation and scheduling. So set your alarms!" Near the end she was pretty much yelling.

I turned to Jacky and smiled. "This is so awesome! I hope we can surf tomorrow, it's supposed to be really hot!"

"I doubt were gonna be doing whatever she said all day. When ever we get a break we'll go real quick." She planned as we walked back to my car.

It took us a good twenty minutes but we finally got everything inside and outside my car, into our cabin. Emily had mentioned during our interviews that the cabin Jacky and I would be sharing would only have two beds, but the other 7 cabins cabins had three each. In total at this camp, there are eleven girl staff and twelve boy staff, so there's twenty three of us.

I laid down on my bed, spread eagle, ready to pass out. My blonde friend was slipping out of her clothes till she had nothing but a big t-shirt on and followed suit under the covers.

"Only two months left girly. We have to make the most of this." I said, getting under the blanket and closing my eyes.

"As long as we don't do anything dumb," She paused for a minute. "I wonder if the guys are hot."

"Probably, I hope the other girls are ugly." I heard Jacky giggle.

"That is so mean." She giggled some more, "I hope they're not annoying or younger than us."

"I agree, I hope they're nice. I was kidding about the ugly thing," Jacky laughed really loud, I think she even snorted.

"No you weren't!"

"Shhh!" she lowered her laugh to a whispered one. "Goodnight Jacky!"

"Night Chey!"
