"Hey Dad! What time are you coming to pick me up? ... What? … but, you promised! … Don't you think the rainforest can wait? …. You think you would be able to take some responsibility for me once in a while! … I can't just stay with Mom anymore! Fine. … See you in a year." Demetria slammed the office phone down on the receiver. "Thanks Chiron, umm I will stay here for the summer, is that okay?"
"The more the merrier." Chiron said smiling awkwardly.
"Thanks." Demetria picked up her bags and walked outside. Her three best friends were waiting for her. "So good news, I'll stay with you guys this summer." She smiled half-heartedly. "That's great!" Her friend Summer ran to hug her. The other to smiled and joined in. "Summer at camp is really fun." Krisse, Irises daughter, beamed, her rainbow locks shook in the wind.
