CHAPTER 4

WITH THE BOYS

AFTER THE KIDS HAVE GONE TO BED AND THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY TO THE CELEBRATION

"Hey Matt! MATT!" Matt turned around when he heard his name being called.

"MATT! What are you doing here!"

"Eric? Eric! Hey! How's it goin'?

"Great! Who all is here that you know? Did you come by yourself?"

"Nope. I'm here with Nigel and Caleb. How bout you?"

"I came with my friends Joel, Carson, and Gerald."

"Awesome. So you headed to the celebration?"

"Yup."

"K. I said I'd meet Caleb by that really big tree in front of the mess hall in 10minutes, so i gotta hurry. Haha."

"Haha. K let's go." They jogged down the path towards the mess hall.

"Hey guys. Eric! What are you doing here?" Caleb yelled as he ran over to them when he spotted them.

"I saw this ad in the paper and it said money so... I just thought it'd be more fun than a regular job."

"Yeah same." They all laughed.

"C'mon. Let's go inside. I heard there's lots of good hot food."

"What about 'hot girls'?" Nigel wiggled his eyebrows. They all laughed again.

"I dunno. Why don't we go find out." They all laughed as they jogged inside.

WITH THE GIRLS

"What is took you guys so long!" Cornelia yelled as she saw her friends running toward her. "I've been standing here for like 20minutes waiting for you!"

"Sorry Corny. Some of those campers just won't go to bed." Will apologized

"I know how to handle that. Show them who's boss. Then they'll listen." They giggled a little bit.

"C'mon let's go inside."

"Yeah I wana meet all the hot counselor guys!" Cornelia ran inside.

"Typical Cornelia." Irma sighed and smiled. They laughed and followed her.

"Where'd she go?" They all looked around for Cornelia and saw her flirting with a blonde counselor who looked about their age. ((18))

"Hey guys!" Cornelia waved to them. They ran over.

"Hey Corny. So... Who's this?" They all grinned at her.

"Oh this is Tony. He is the counselor for..." She looked up at him.

"Pizza." He replied.

"That's right! Pizza! Anyway Tony, this is Will..." Will waved. "Irma..." Irma smiled at him and winked. "Taranee..." Taranee gave him a small wave. "And Hay Lin." Hay Lin ran over to him and shook his hand.

"Nice to meet you!" She grinned.

"Hay Lin is very outgoing." They all laughed.

"Yeah I can see that! Well, I gotta get going. I promised my campers I would tell them a spooky story when I got back but I don't want them up too late so I told them I'd come back early. It was nice meeting you all! See ya around Cornelia!" He flashed her a dazzling smile and walked out the door.

"Isn't he awesome!" She was smiling.

"Yeah! He's so nice too! You're lucky Cornelia. Not even here for an hour and you already have an almost boyfriend." They all giggled.

"Haha almost."

LATER THAT NIGHT WHEN THEY'RE ALL GOING BACK TO THEIR CABINS

"Man that was an awesome party!" Matt shouted as they left the mess hall.

"Yeah it was! And look at all the phone numbers I got!" Nigel held up 4 pieces of paper.

"Dude that's nothing compared to Caleb. Show him how many YOU got Caleb." Eric said.

"Ok one sec." He dug around in his pocket and pulled out 7 pieces of paper.

"Aw man! That's like every girl here's phone number!"

"Haha I know." He put them back in his pocket.

"Aw crap! I think I left something in the mess hall. I'll see ya guys later." Nigel ran back toward the mess hall.

"Dude hold up! I'll come with you! I'm still hungry!" Matt ran after Nigel.

"Well I'll be seein ya Caleb. My cabins over there." Eric walked toward his cabin

"K. See ya!" Caleb shouted and continued on towards his. He had almost reached his cabin when he saw something golden shining in the moon light in front of the cabin next to his. 'I wonder what that is...' He walked a little faster. It took him a minute to realize it was hair. The hair of the girl going into the cabin. 'Hmm... She looks an awful lot like... Cornelia... Nah that's not her... although, she does look a lot like her... it's too dark to tell anyway.' He watched her walk into her cabin. He reached his cabin and walked in and when he did, he saw a bunch of kids on the floor with pillows in their hands and feathers everywhere.

"Hmm... I wonder what could have happened here." They all just stared at him.

"It's ok guys! I'm not mad! We'll clean this up tomorrow. Now get in bed." They all obeyed him and got in bed.

'It's gonna be a loooooong 3months...'

WITH CORNELIA

Cornelia woke up the next morning around 7:00 to the sound of a trumpet being played. She stretched and got up. First she woke up all the girls, then sent them to the showers, along with herself ((she didn't send herself but she went along.)) After they were all clean she looked up what they were going to do today on the schedule.

"Ok guys. Today is gonna be an awesome day. First, we're gonna go eat breakfast, then we're going to go rock climbing, next we'll go to the pool until lunch and then after lunch we'll go back to the pool for another hour. After that we can go creek walking and maybe catch a minnow to keep in our cabin as our cabin pet, then release it at the end of the week. Then it's time for dinner. After dinner you can do pretty much anything you want until bed. sound fun?"

"Yeah!" They all shouted.

"Alright then! Let's get going!" They all ran out of the cabin behind Cornelia.

LATER THAT DAY AT THE ROCK CLIMBING WALL
WITH CALEB

"Ok everyone we're going to learn archery." They all looked up at him excited. 'Ha! Piece of cake!' He thought.

"Follow me to the climbing wall. The campers before us aren't done at the archery section yet so we can cheer people on at the climbing wall. Ready?"

"Yay!" They all screamed.

"Let's go!"

Caleb jogged over to the climbing wall with his campers. The campers from this cabin were watching somebody climb the wall. She was doing really well too. Caleb asked one of the little girls who was climbing.

"Dats Cornewia. She da counswer." The girl said past her thumb that she was sucking. ((she wasn't really little, but she sucked her thumb anyway.))

Caleb's eyes widened slightly and he looked up. It had to be Cornelia. She had long golden hair that was swaying in the wind and looked very athletic. When she reached the top, she pulled herself up and sat down.

"And that, ladies, is how you climb the rock wall." She was smiling.

"CORNELIA! CORNELIA!" Caleb was shouting up to her. She looked around for the source of the voice. Then she spotted him. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw him. She grinned from ear to ear and shouted down.

"CALEB!" He smiled knowing that she'd heard him. She looked around for a way down and saw one of the gliding thingies ((the ones where you grab onto a handle thing and slide down on a wire, like something you'd see in a James Bond movie or something lol)) and grabbed onto it. As she was sliding down Caleb ran over to where she would land. When she got close enough to the bottom to where if she let go she wouldn't break her legs, she let go of the handle thing. Caleb ran over to where she was falling and caught her in a hug ((not like the way he caught Will in It Resumes, it was just like a hug, except she sort of flew into him lol and her feet aren't touching the ground, he's sort of hugging her around the waist and she around his neck))

"What are you doing here Caleb?" She was still grinning from ear to ear and all the campers were interested now.

"I came to make some money. What about you?" He was also grinning.

"Same. Wow... How long has it been since we last saw each other?" She asked.

"I don't know. Probably about 2 years. You guys haven't had to go you-know-what in a really long time." ((he meant W.I.T.C.H. just in case you didnt know))

"Wow. 2 years..." They remembered they were still holding onto each other so he put her down and broke their embrace.

"So what's your cabin?" He asked her.

"Cobra."

"Really? Mine's Corn. They're right next to each other."

"Wow! That's great! Hey maybe we can do something later. While the kids are playing tonight. You know just like old times! The other girls are here too, ya know."

"Really? I haven't seen them. I came up with Matt and Nigel and Eric's here too."

"OO. Will's gonna be happy!" They laughed. "And i bet Hay Lin and Taranee will be excited too."

"Yeah." They were both still smiling. One of the boys cleared his throat.

"Ahem. I hate to break up this reunion but... When can we go to the archery station, Caleb?"

"Oh crap. I completely forgot about the time. Sorry guys. Sorry Cornelia. We can catch up later."

"I'd like that. It was good to see you, Caleb." She grinned.

"Yeah. It was good to see you too." He grinned back and left. She watched him leave, still smiling.

"Cornelia has a boyfriend! Cornelia has a boyfriend!" The little girls were giggling.

"Hey! He's not my boyfriend... He used to be though..." Her smile faded. The little girls stared at her than got bored so they began playing tag while they waited till it was time to go to the pool. Cornelia looked back in the direction Caleb had gone.

'Maybe he can finally explain to me why he broke up with me...'

oo! another one done!
