Flights and feelings.
Suze pulled her bike jacket on and slipped her sandals on also. She watched the rays of the morning streak across her room. Her younger step brother doc as she called him banged on her door. "Suze get up! You're going to be late for the plane!" She watched the ocean outside her window and hollered, "I'm coming!" The last look of her room made her sad, She had decided to go to camp this summer as a CIT (Counselor in training) it was supposed to broaden her horizons. Paul and CeeCee promised to hold down the fort for her for the next month. She had told them weeks before leaving but she had waited till two nights ago to tell Jesse.
The conversation had been simple. I had been packing my last bag when he had materialized in front of me. "Hello Querida." He murmured.
I looked up into his eyes and smiled. "What are you doing here Jesse?" I asked.
"It's Saturday night Querida. I thought we might see a movie?" I moved away from my luggage and reached for the bathing suit on my bed and shoved it into the bag.
"Jesse, I can't really see one tonight."
"Why not Querida? You have no school for a good 2 months." I again looked into his eyes, my hands holding the cell phone.
"Jess, I leave on Monday for North Carolina. I don't have time to see a movie. I'm sorry." He shifted his position and sat on my window sill.
"What do you mean Querida?" "I am going to be a CIT for this camp in North Carolina." I said.
"What about your duties here?" he asked in an old way.
"CeeCee and Paul promised to hold the fort while I'm gone." I said.
"How can you trust Paul? Why not stay?" He looked a little annoyed now.
"Jess, I am going to trust Paul. It's the only way I can go to camp." He sort of half nodded and this last question I had been dreading the most.
"Why didn't you not tell me you where leaving?"
I now felt even guiltier, "Jess, I wanted to tell you but I thought you might not let me leave."
He got up form his seat and came eye to eye with me. "I would never say or do anything to stop you. Only if it was dangerous I would!"
"Thanks for the concern Jesse. Maybe its best you leave now." I said. He tried to hug me but I put my hand out to stop him. "Goodnight Jesse!"
He nodded and anger showed all over his face. "Goodnight Querida!"
That would be the last time I would see him for a really long time. I wouldn't see him in California for a really long time.
So there I was down stairs, my mother had tears in her eyes and my stepfather grabbing my bags to put into the land rover. I hugged my brothers and fallowed my stepfather. We talked about a lot of stuff on the ride to the airport and I got on the plane and left my home for a good 4 weeks.
The flight was a long 4 hours and with a stop in Atlanta. After I got off the plane in Charlotte I went to the baggage claim. After I pulled my luggage off the belt I saw a two teens coming towards me. One was a boy and the other a girl; they must have been twins because they looked sort of alike.
"Are you Suze?" The girl asked.
I looked at her and said, "Yes I am. Who might you two be?"
They looked at me with there big green eyes and said," Names Jack and Jill."
I smirked and said, "Nice names! Where's the car we need to reach to get to the camp?" Jill helps me with my bag and Jack grabbed my arm.
"This way Suze." Jack talked about the camp and all the sports the kids got to do.
When we got to the car, Jack drove while Jill filled me about all the kids I would be watching.
"You have a total of 6 kids Suze." She said.
"Ok can I know a little about them?" Jill moved her arm to the folder on the side of the car.
"How old are you Suze?"
"I'm 16 years old." She nodded and laid out the files on the seat.
"Three are boys and three are girls." I nodded and looked down at them. "The first is Jimmy Watson. He's 9 this year. The next is Sara Larks. She is 11. Then there's Tina Market. She's 12. Johnny Watson is the next. He is 15 almost 16. It's his last year of camp as a camper. Sam Dark is next, he is 13. Jenny is 13 too she's really shy.
I looked at all there photos and profiles and Knew I would be very busy. I just hoped no ghosts lived near the camp.I also hoped my thoughts about Jesse wouldn't distract me.
Well this is my first try. Hope u like.
