Here it is guys!(if anyone was even following my story) Chapter two!
AT the Camp Grounds They Meet!
The drive to camp seemed endless. Due to her lack of sleep in preparation for the trip, Ira had fallen fast asleep. Her hat covered her eyes and her head slumped against the window of the truck. Edd didn't mind the silence, but he adored the pointless conversations he and Ira so often shared. She was the beacon in the darkest of Edd's high school times. She was the cute new kid who the entire population of adolescent teenagers wanted to befriend. She easily landed a spot on the cheer leading team and befriended many of Edd's previous bullies. But when she saw her "friends" beating up on Edd she stepped in between them. She hardly ever gave the death glare, so naturally everyone scurried out of harms way. Since then, she and Edd had been best friends. She had the dominant aura which warned people not to get her angry. This was to Edd's advantage, the only assault he'd get now was an occasional shove or glare. It was one of the main reasons he stuck with Ira. She was also overly sweet when it came to her friends. She always respected one's space, hardly ever complained, and despite her grammar around friends she was among the smart people in her classes. She also held an athletic figure. She was the kind of girl jocks drooled over. But she chose to spend her time with Edd, him of all people. It made Edd feel wanted and glad to have such a friend.
"Mmmmnnnn, what time is it?" Ira sat up straightening her beanie and yawned.
"Its almost eleven." Edd glanced over at her before returning his eyes to the road. They had just reached the camping area and Edd was looking for a good place to park.
"I slept that long." the drowsiness in her voice was apparent as she rubbed her left eye of sleep remnants.
"Congratulations! You've just slept through the entire ride to your camp! What will you do next?" Edd's mockery of a TV show host got a giggle out of Ira. Quoting and making up quotes was something he learned from her and it always made her smile.
"I have taught you well" she giggled again and Edd joined in. This was going to be a fun weekend.
Kevin finished setting up his tent as Nat was preparing the cookout. Kevin and Nat, with a couple of team mates and Nazz with a few of her friends were camping out on top of the Peach Creek mountains. It was a chilly day and perfect for outdoor carefree activities. Kevin had been wanting to camp outdoors for weeks. School had finally ended and it was summertime! "The best time for hanging out and hooking up!" is what Nat told Kevin. He was more than happy to hang out with his buds.
"Hey Kev!" Nat called pointing in the direction of the road. "Looks like we won't be the only ones campin' out this weekend!" Nat's mischievous smile told Kevin that Nat planned on dragging who ever was in the truck into their group.
"I'm gonna laugh if its some old couple." Kevin chuckled at his own joke but Nat did not seem amused.
"Naw man, the chick inside on the passenger side didn't look old!" a grin enveloped Nat "Besides, maybe if we're lucky they'll be sportsy, cause we're two dudes short of enough people to play ultimate sushi tag!" Kevin sighed rolling his eyes. Good ol' Nat will never steer you wrong.
"Ok dude, just don't pants anybody this time, I couldn't look at Shane for a week without remembering that!"
"Aww man! That was my master plan!" Nat joked getting a chuckle from Kevin.
Kevin watched as the truck pulled to a stop and the engine cut. Out of the passenger side was the young girl Nat mentioned. She looked a great deal like some one they knew. Kevin almost quit breathing when the driver got out.
Double Dork. The named tore through Kevin's mind as the the slightly smaller lanky teen stepped out of the driver's side. Why hadn't Kevin noticed that this was his truck? It was so obvious. Everyone talked about it the day Edd drove to school. Ed and Eddy had hopped out of the back acting like they owned the school. Double D on the other hand had timidly stepped out and was clearly trying to ignore the stares he got from everyone. Everyone wanted a picture of Edd's new ride. Kevin would never admit it, but he was jealous at the time. He wouldn't be getting his motorcycle for another month. Edd had done the paint job on the car himself. Kevin had no idea that the dork fancied odd colored flames. The turquoise-blue flames were made to look as though the speed had caught the car on fire. Kevin couldn't do anything but stare.
"Dude, you listening?" Nat's words brought Kevin out of his trance. He blushed slightly, having been caught creepily staring at someone.
"Uh, sorry, I didn't quite catch what you said."
"I said that the beanie wearing kid is here, you know, the one you won't shut up about?" if Nat was to be compared with anyone or thing, it would be the Cheshire cat.
"What! I'm not the only one who wants to highjack his truck!" the cover story seemed to get by Nat, but Kevin left his guard up. Nat had a way of finding everything out. But wait! What was Kevin trying to cover up? This small question bounced through his mind before he forcefully forgot about it and continued helping Nat set up for camp.
After parking in what seemed the perfect spot, Edd got out of his beloved truck and removed the tarp, folding it neatly.
"Gotta hand it to ya! Guys like you sure know how to pack!" Ira was already unloading the camping gear and placing it in organized piles.
"Better to be prepared!" Edd smiled as he started getting out the gear for the tent. "I didn't know if you wanted a separate tent or not, so I brought two."
"That's mighty sweet of ya!" Ira smiled her flawless dazzle smile. For lack of a better term. "But It gets cold and lonely when there's only one person in the tent." Her playful smile made Edd blush.
"Don't expect me to hold you or anything." Edd fibbed through the little tease war, but Ira saw right through it.
"Ok, but don't be surprised if you wake up clothes-less tomorrow." her teasing made Edd blush as he pushed dirty thoughts from his mind.
"As if we'd ever enter an intimate relationship as such!" Edd blushed deeply which only made Ira's smile wider. At that moment they heard someone holler at them. Edd turned to see who it was. When he noticed the familiar members of the football team, his heart sank. His bullies were here, for three days they would be sharing the same camp grounds. This was not turning out to be a good weekend after all. Oh, why hadn't he stayed home?
