Okay, first of all – I want to give a little shout-out to Rocky, mi first review ever. I'm really glad you liked my story enough to leave a comment. I'm super thrilled now, and I thank you for all your ideas – I'll definitely be using some of them! (:

Chapter 2

When I heard those words come out of Rudy's mouth, I wished I could've just shoved them right back in again. Now, this was just what I needed in order to place this summer right on top of the list of the worst summers of my life. Why on earth would we want to spend four weeks of our summer, in a dirty, old camp with a couple of amateur senseis to teach us absolutely nothing, when we had a big tournament right around the corner.

I just stood there, open mouthed and glared at him, no words coming out of my mouth. I couldn't have gotten a word out for a million dollars, even if I tried. Luckily, Jerry snapped me out of my "freeze-state" with a loud: "WHAT?"

I finally got my mouth working again and started rambling on about how stupid I thought this idea was, and was just about to tell him where he could go with it, when Rudy had gotten tired of my rambling and decided to – rudely I may tell you – interrupt me.

"Kim, would you just shut up, for crying out loud?" He looked hard at all of us, before turning his head back to me. "This is not negotiable – you guys are going to this camp. I've already cleared it with your parents, whom by the way all think it is a wonderful idea."

All that could be heard throughout the dojo was loads of groans which came from all of us. Rudy used a sigh to conceal his amusement, but he's never been great at hiding his feelings. Apparently I wasn't the only one who caught on to this.

"You think this is really funny, don't you?" Jack narrowed his eyes at Rudy, who tried – and failed – to conceal his smile.

Before he could even answer, Jerry and the other guys also caught on, and they all started coming up with very interesting ideas as to where exactly Rudy could go. He just chuckled to himself, not getting offended at the least.

"Listen guys. As much as I would want to visit the places you just listed up for me, I'm flying first class to Miami, first thing in the morning. Now you guys go home and pack, and be back here by sharp – the bus leaves at 6.15, so I want you here in good time." And with that off his chest, he just smiled to himself, and strolled casually out of the dojo.

"This is absolutely horrible! Four weeks in some crappy camp, and Rudy is spending his vacation in Miami, that's so unfair!" I just couldn't help but complain, however I don't think the guys minded this time, seeing as they were all slowly nodding their heads in a silent agree.

"Well, we better get our asses home and pack then," Jerry said, a defeated tone shining through his voice. We all left the dojo in silence, seeing as none of really wanted to talk, and with not so enthusiastic good-byes, we went our separate ways.

My parents caught on to my mood pretty quickly, but did their best to ignore it as they put on their "happy-faces" and sent me straight up to my room to pack. This – as they told me countless times – was a great thing. According to them, I was going to have so much fun at camp, and make lots of new friends. But I'm pretty sure they're just glad to get me out of the house for a couple of weeks, so they can be alone.

I slammed my door shut with a loud bang, and as much as I do realize exactly how childish that is, it was the only way to get out my pent up frustration. Camp was not something I was looking forward to, as I had expected to spend my summer at the beach or at the mall, having a great time with my friends. But as usually, things just don't seem to go my way. With a grunt, I went over to my wardrobe and searched in the back until I got a hold of my bag, and pulled it out.

Insecure as what to pack, I texted Jack and asked for his opinion – which has become sort of a habit to me. Staring at the clothes in my closet, not sure what to pick, I waited for him to text me back. As usually it didn't take very long.

Well, I'm thinking light clothes – hear it's gonna be a warm summer xx. - Jack

I smiled at the two kisses he put at the end of his text, and quickly texted him a reply.

Well, at least the weather will be nice after all. That's one good thing about this camp-trip, if not the only one. – Kim x

He replied in no time, and his text made me blush a little, and brought a small chuckle to my lips. This boy sure knows how to get to me.

I can think of two – at least I'll get to see you in a bikini xx (; - Jack

Oh, shut up Jack! – Kim x

I would not give him the satisfaction of showing how much I liked his little flirty texts, as they always brought a smile to my face, in addition to this small fluttering feeling in my stomach, which I've not quite been able to understand yet. All I know is I do not want him to stop.

You know you like it Kimmy. But now I've gotta go sleep – want to get a few hours before our departure tomorrow. Knowing you I'd say you haven't started packing yet, so get off your butt and start packing. I'll see you tomorrow, good night Kim xx - Jack

With a groan, I got off my bed, not bothering to answer him, and turned around to the task at hand.

So sorry I haven't updated in a while! I just never thought anybody would read it, so I'm beyond grateful for you feedback Rocky! Thanks again (:
