Hey guys! What's up? So I really like this story. It's one of my favorites that I have wrote. But I will not be updating a new chapter until I get five more reviews. I can't get any better unless you guys tell me what I am doing wrong. So leave a review.
I wake up the next morning. I roll over. I look at my phone. It's 11 A.M. I stand up. Today is the day that I leave. I smile thinking about the memories that I'm going to have this summer. I text Levy.
Me- I'm going to send my bag to your house. I won't be able to run fast with it and I can't take my car or use the driver for my get away.
Levy- Lol. Are you asking or just leaving?
Me- I'm going to ask but if he says no, I'm just going to leave.
Levy- Good luck. We're leaving here in an hour. See ya soon!
I slipped my phone back into my pocket and called for our maid.
"Yes Ms. Lucy."
"Will you take this to the car and ask him to drive it to Levy's house?" She smiles and drags the bag downstairs. I follow her. She walks through the living room, while I head to the kitchen to talk to my dad.
"Hey dad?"
"Yes?"
"Can I go with Levy for a few weeks?" I'm trying to be polite and avoid telling him where.
"Sounds like fun." He says skimming the paper.
"So I can go?"
"When do you leave?"
"Today." He looks at me.
"When are you coming home?"
"About a week before schools starts." I say.
"Are you guys going to Paris?"
"No. We're trying something new." My father looks at me puzzled.
"Where are you guys going?"
"A summer camp." My father throws his paper on the counter.
"Absolutely not." He says.
"Why?"
"Nobody from the Heartfilia line should be at a dirty, filthy, summer camp."
"Please dad." I start to beg.
"No. That is my final answer."
"Screw you." I say as I start to walk upstairs.
"You'll thank me later." He yells while picking up the paper. No I won't. I'm still going. I get back in my room and walk over to my bed. I grab my phone, charger, and the picture of me and my mom that is on my night stand. I put them into a shoulder bag and head back downstairs. I walk over to the kitchen door and slip my shoes on.
"What are you doing?" My father asks me.
"Going to camp." I reply.
"No you're not." I start to walk out the door. I shut the door behind me. I walk down the stairs and off the porch. When I get off the porch I hear the door open. I start to run.
"GET BACK HERE LUCY!" I keep running. I run around the corner. Levy lives two blocks away. I could easily jog the whole way there, so I did. I was scared to stop. If my dad caught up then he would take me home. If not then I would go. He wouldn't call the cops because that would embarrass him. If anyone asked where I was at he would say I went to Paris or something like that. I slowed to a walk when I got to Levy's. Everyone was walking to their car.
"There you are!" Levy yells running up to me. She throws her arms around me. I hug her back. Her dad walks up to me.
"Come on Lucy." Kevin says. "Your stuff is packed. Let's go." I smile as I hop into their car.
"So are you excited Lucy?" Kevin asks.
"Sure am. I've been wanting to get out of the house and do something." I lay back and relax. I put my headphones in. I close my eyes and start to think of my mom. I miss her. I will never forgive my father for what happened to her. My phone vibrates. I look at the text.
Sting- When is the big day?
I forgot to mention that I am engaged. My father has an arranged marriage for me with Sting Eucliffe.
Me- When I get home.
Sting- Where are you?
Me- Out of town for the summer.
Sting- Where?
Me- Don't worry about it.
Sting- Lucy I want to see you.
Me- I'm out of town. I'll come see you the day I get back..
Sting- Okay. I love you.
Me- Bye Sting.
Sting has told me numerous time that he loves me. I just can't tell him the same thing. We've been driving for an hour, we still have nine more to go. I drift off into sleep while listening to my music.
I open my eyes. It's dark outside. I look next to me at Levy. She smiles. I take my headphones out.
"We have about three hours left." She says.
"I slept for six hours?"
"Yupp." Levy replies.
"We were actually waiting for you to wake up so we can tell you the rules and stuff of the camp. We were figuring that you could show the other campers around on tour day in the morning. So we're going to show you around and tell you the rules. I know that it will be late and dark, but there's enough lights to decently light the areas." I don't know how well I can learn a camp tonight and still remember it in the morning. This is my job now. I have to pay attention and learn about it.
"Sounds fun."
"We'll give you a map and an activities sheet. You don't have to memorize the sheet, just keep it with you for each day. You can do anything you want on the map. But the map is labeled by numbers, so I suggest you write the activities that will be taking place in that area."
"Okay." It makes sense. But I probably wouldn't have thought about it unless they told me.
"Campers rules. 1. If the campers are not listening, or giving attitude you make them sit out an activity. If they do not listen after that you send them to the main office. Walk them there. There is one counselor per four kids. You're always with another group just incase you have to take a kid somewhere, you have the other counselor. 2. If the kid is not feeling well, if it's withing half an hour of the next meal, wait until after the meal and see if they still feel sick. If it's not within half an hour, or they still feel sick after their meal, send them to the nurses office. 3. Every kid going somewhere must take a partner. Unless it is free time, or unless it is in the cabin, or mess hall. If you guys are on a hike and a kid needs to use the bathroom, send someone else with them. It's the buddy system. 4. No P.D.A. in front of campers. Yes, Summer romances happen. Just not in front of kids. 5. No hitting the kids, or threatening. It's common sense, but some counselors have had issues with it in the past. Do you understand the five rules?"
"Yes sir." He smiles at me in his rearview mirror.
"Now for the counselors rules. 1. Always be with your group of kids. 2. After all the children are asleep in bed, we have counselors activities. Once all the kids are asleep you may come to the activity. 3. If you feel sick you must tell your other counselor, then go to the office right away. 4. No cussing, or anything like that infront of the kids. 5. There are four bunk beds, so eight beds in the cabin. There is one person per bed. But in the past, we've had people share bed. Like, Levy let Juvia share a bed with her because Juvia had a nightmare last year. You can share your bed with who ever you want, or not at all. 6. The rooms are coed. We have males and females with each group because some kids work better with females than males. One year we had a girl and she was upset because her counselor was a girl. She had two fathers, so she naturally comfortable around the guys than the girls. That's why they are coed. 7. You can do laundry once a week. 8. No P.D.A. in front of the campers, you guys can be all romantic and cuddly at the counselors activities. Or in your room in the cabin. Just be respectful to others and what they want."
"Okay." I smile. The rules are very simple.
"I know you're engaged, but I know you also don't want to be. That's why we told you about the P.D.A. stuff." Levy's mom explains.
"No, it's okay. I understand." I smile.
"We still have two hours left." Levy says. "I'm hungry." Levy says. Now that she mentions it, I haven't eaten all day either.
"There's sandwiches in the cooler on the floor back there." Her mom replies. Levy starts to dig through the cooler. She pulls out a sandwich and hands it to me.
"Thanks." I say. She smiles back. After I eat my sandwich, I lay my head back. I decided to sleep the hour and a half we still had to go.
