The week passed quickly, with most of it being spent with one another, or buying things that they needed before they packed. Once their 7 days of 'freedom', as Sam liked to put it, were up, they each made their own way to the now virtually empty school parking lot, where 2 coaches were lined up to take them to Camp Sunshine.

As Spencer pulled the car up, Carly excitedly got out having spotted her best friend in the distance, occupying herself by licking a lollipop. After getting her bags out, she ran towards her, shouting for her.

"Sam! Sam? Saaam!" She gave up calling for the girl once it was obvious she was oblivious to Carly and decided to just wait until she was next to her. "Sam!"

With a hit to the back of the head, the lollipop fell out of Sam's mouth and onto the floor. "Awh man..." She bent down and picked it up before putting it back in her mouth.

Carly shook her head disgustingly. "Ew, Sam..."

The blonde grinned with the stick between her teeth. "Hey!"

With a shake of her head, Carly changed the subject, but not without a laugh. "So, are you excited?"

"Oui, oui! Where's the dork?"

"I'm here!" He came running over, waving. "I got cau-"

"Don't care." Sam walked past him, joining the others that were waiting by the coach.

Freddie glared as she walked away. "So rude..."

"Did you expect anything different?"

With that, they too joined the group of students. And so began the 2 hour journey to the camp.


Sam was sitting beside the window while Carly sat next to her, Freddie sitting beside Gibby behind the two of them. It was comfortably silent between the four of them, as they were an hour into the journey and were generally tired as they had departed at 5 in the morning, you heard correct, Sam actually got up in time for a departure of 5 am.

Sam hit her head on the chair in front of her and began to complain. "I'm so bored!" That was that comfortable silence out of the window.

It appeared the seat in front had felt the impact of her head to their chair because they turned to her. "Oh hey Sam!"

"Donnie! Please, amuse me..." Sam gripped onto Donnie's chair, pleading him.

The boy in front turned around so he was facing Sam between the gap of his own seat and the person next to him. "Okay! I dare you to-"

Behind them, Gibby was shaking his head. "The dare is gonna involve me... I can feel it. I better take my shirt off." True to his word, he took it off. He then looked to Freddie. "You look kinda angry."

"I'm not angry Gibby."

"You look like you're blushing too."

"I'm not blushing either Gibby!"

Looking between Freddie and Sam, a smile appeared on his face. "Wait, do you like Sa-"

Freddie's hand covered Gibby's mouth before anything could be said. With a furious and panicky shake of the head, Gibby knew when to leave it be. That is, without one last comment. "You really do like going for the difficult ones."

With a nod of the head and a sigh, Freddie turned out to look out of the window. "Don't I know it?"

Carly on the other hand, smirked with her eyes still on her book. I knew it.


"So welcome to Camp Sunshine-"

"Lame..."

"-Ahem, yes, thankyou. I'd like the following to follow me, while the rest follow Shaun over there; Donald Baker, Harry Blakes, Rodney Brooks, Pip Brown, Jessica Lang, Samantha Puckett and Joshua Rafty. "

Carly turned to Sam. "Why are you going a different way?"

As Sam walked with the rest of her group, she gave a small salute with a smirk. "Oh, you'll see."

Freddie eyed her suspiciously before turning his gaze to Carly. "What is she up to..."

"Who knows? It's Sam after all..."

With both groups split up, they headed towards the cabins they would be staying in.

"As you probably assumed, girls and boys will, and always will be, separated when sleeping. The first group of girls will be Annie Breadkale, Hayley Dean, Katie Gates, Carly Shay and Delilah Stewart."

There were a total of 3 girl groups from Ridgeway, but more coming from other school. As for the boys, Freddie had been placed with his friends, them being Shane, Gibby, Reuben and Jeremy.

"I can't believe I'm with no one I know!"

"You know Hayley and Delilah, right?"

She scowled. "Hardly..."

Freddie gave a sympathetic smile. "Don't worry. You'll only be with them when you're sleeping, and you don't talk then anyway."

"I wish Sam was with me..."

Freddie looked in the direction Sam had headed in and pondered on where she had gone. "I suppose we'll have to ask her later why she was split from."

With a nod, the two departed ways to the seperate cabins they were staying in. This was going to be a long 4 weeks.
