Summer Camp Chapter 2…
Chapter 2 – They're So Proud
I walked over to the bakery. The thing I love about Roseville: everything is close enough that you don't need a car. I opened the door to the shop, a faint bell rang as the door clang shut behind me. I loved this place.
I was meeting Bex and Liz over coffee to tell them about my job. I was practically bouncing with excitement. When I called the summer camp yesterday, they hired me on the spot. I immediately told Bex and Liz to meet me.
I looked around the bakery. I spotted Bex and Liz at a booth in the corner, both sipping through white ceramic mugs. I made my way through the shop, a big smile on my face. "Hey guys, so glad you could meet me!"
Bex gave a playful wink. "Anything for a friend," she said. I sat down, then, turned to face them. "I gathered you lovely ladies here so I could tell you about a job I recently acquired."
Liz perked up. "You found one? The last time I saw you, you were eating Ben and Jerry's straight out of the carton watching Divergent at 2 am because you were so frustrated about finding a job." Liz laughed after she said it, probably reliving the memory in her head.
I coughed awkwardly, "A moment we will never speak of again, Liz, and yes, I did find one, and it's one I'm actually excited about doing."
"It must be one heck of a job, then," Bex whistled. "I wish I could say the same about mine. I'm working at Target."
I laughed. "I'm going to be a summer camp counselor!"
Bex and Liz stared at me. "There isn't a summer camp in Roseville, Cammie. What job are you actually doing?" Bex questioned, as if I tried pulling a joke out on her.
Liz suddenly piped up, "It's because her job isn't in Roseville, is it?"
I nodded. "It's at Virginia Beach. Summer Camp's called 'Sumer Time Mayhem'. I'm going to be working with 10-13 year old girls! Josh gave me the idea to look at jobs in different parts of Virginia."
"Cammie, Virginia Beach is almost a three hour drive away. You don't have a car." Bex stated.
"I've gotten that all taken care of, my mom said I can use her Jeep for the summer. It's a five week camp. Start's six days from now."
"Well, I guess we'll just have to hang out until you leave," Liz stated.
"I promised Josh I would bring him coffee and hang out at his house today. Maybe tomorrow?"
"You sure are hanging out with Josh a lot," Bex smirked.
I rolled my eyes, "See you later guys!" I stood up, ordered two coffees to go, and walked over to Josh's house.
I knocked on the door. Mrs. Abrams opened it. "Cammie, come in. You came in right on time! I just baked this glorious apple pie. It's fresh out of the oven. I'll get you a slice?" I thanked her and sat down at the dining room table.
Mrs. Abrams came into sight with a plate full of mouth-watering apple pie with a single scoop of vanilla ice cream. "Here you go, hun. I'll call Josh down, he's just in his room." I thanked her as she handed me the plate. She walked over to the foot of the stairs and called Josh's name. A few minutes later, I heard footsteps coming down the stairs.
Josh strolled into the dining room, hair messed to perfection, wearing jeans and a maroon hoodie over a white T-shirt. The pie wasn't the only mouth-watering thing in the room, if you know what I'm saying. "Hey Cam," he sat down.
I handed him his coffee and I told him how I got the job. We chatted as we helped ourselves to pie. Finally, we went upstairs, into Josh's room. It was extremely neat for a seventeen year old boy.
"Want to movie marathon?" He asked as I sat down on his newly made bed, my back leaning against the headboard.
"What movies do you have to offer?" I asked. He handed me a bucket with DVD cases inside. I rummaged through them, picked my top three and gave the stack to Josh.
He looked at my choices. "Batman Begins, The Fellowship of the Ring, and Pitch Perfect. Nice selection."
He popped Pitch Perfect into his computer's CD-ROM and turned the lights off as the movie started. We cuddled up on the bed as the movie began to play, me, of course, lip syncing the opening song.
I went home late that night, and when I got up in my room. I was all happy as I took a quick shower before going to bed.
That was Chapter Two.
