Chapter 11
CPOV
7 o'clock. Guess it's time to go downstairs.
I walked downstairs and found Charlton and Parker carrying tents outside. I rushed to open the back door for them. J.J. was already outside attempting to put up a tent. He looked up.
"Hey Chloe, are you just going to stand there, or are you going to help me break a tent?"
"How do you break a tent?"
"Beats me!" he laughed. "But we're about to find out."
I walked over and looked at the directions. When J.J. saw me he took the paper, crumpled it up, then threw them over his shoulder.
"Directions are for wimps." he muttered.
"Then I guess I'm a wimp." I walked over to pick up the paper.
Before I knew it we almost had the tent put up. J.J. was standing up trying to bend a bar in a way that I didn't think was possible.
Suddenly Parker barged out the door and screamed, "Wassup Guys!"
It startled J.J. and he tumbled backwards into the tent.
"Crap!" J.J. yelled.
The tent was squashed.
"Sorry Parker looks like you sleeping with me." J.J. remarked.
Parker's face lit up and he came running toward J.J. screaming "Yay!!"
He jumped into J.J.'s arms.
I have no idea how but J.J. caught him. After a few seconds of Parker grinning at him, he got bored and dropped Parker.
I almost fell down laughing.
Just then Simon and Derek walked out the door. Simon was smiling. Derek wasn't smiling but he wasn't scowling.
"Can someone tell the girls to quit primping and trying to look good. It's a campout for crying out loud." J.J. called.
"All right." and Charlton ran into the house.
"Okay Simon, Derek ya'll grab a tent and start putting it together. We have to have this done before dark." J.J. ordered. "Chloe go get some rope."
"Why?" I asked.
"Just in case we have to hang someone else in a tree." He looked toward Simon.
***1 hour later***
"We're done!" J.J. exclaimed.
"Yea!" Everyone else screamed excitedly.
"So what do we do now?" Tori asked uninterested.
"Well we-" Parker started.
"ROAST MARSHMALLOWS!!!" J.J. finished for him.
"We don't have a fire yet." Derek pointed out.
"BUILD A FIRE AND THEN ROAST MARSHMALLOWS!" J.J. corrected himself.
J.J. tried his best to start a fire. Cussing every time he got a spark and the wind blew it out.
Finally Andrew had to take over.
Andrew got the fire started and J.J., Parker, and Derek rolled logs around the fire so we could sit down. Derek sat on my right and J.J. sat on my left.
We laughed and joked around for a few hours. Derek even looked like he was having fun. I'd never seen him smile that much.
"Hey J.J. are you going eat the last marshmallow?" Parker asked him.
"Ummm. Maybe." He looked at the marshmallow sadly. He stuck it into the fire. Whenever it was completely on fire he flung it at Parker's head.
Surprisingly Parker caught it, then cussed at J.J. "I wanted that!"
"Hey guys it's about time to turn in." Andrew spoke up.
"Awww!" J.J. whined. "What time is it?"
"Midnight."
"Well that means its time for scary stories!" J.J. smiled.
All of a sudden everyone got an anxious look on their face and turned toward Kaylee. Simon, Derek, Tori, and I just looked toward Andrew.
"Kaylee has some really good scary stories." he answered without turning.
I'd never really been that into scary stories, but I didn't object.
"Sorry guys, I can't think of any right now." Kaylee said.
J.J. sighed beside me. "What about you Chloe? You should have some pretty good stories." he sounded hopeful.
"Uh. Not really."
"Oh."
Parker spoke up then, "I've got one."
"Oh come on Parker! Give me a break. Your scary stories suck." J.J. said.
Parker kept talking, "Before I moved over here, me and my family lived down in Alabama."
"Me too." J.J. said quietly.
That explained the country accent.
Parker glared at him but continued. "There had been a story going around that there was a serial killer in our neighborhood, but I didn't believe them. So one night my cousin called me and asked me if I wanted to walk down to the grave yard. I didn't know why he wanted to but I went anyway. I snuck out and met him outside at midnight. We started walking down the road laughing at all of those rumors. When we got to the graveyard we walked around looking at all the graves. My cousin kept mentioning that he thought he saw something walking through the woods, but I didn't believe him. A few seconds later we heard the snap of a tree limb, so we took off running. After we thought we were far enough away we slowed and started to walk home. Then we realized someone was following us."
I shivered in my seat. Derek saw me and wrapped his arm around me. I wanted to scream I was so happy. Then I realized that Parker was still telling his story.
"-when we would walk faster the footsteps behind us would get faster. I turned to look once, but there was nothing behind us. We started running and didn't stop until we got home. The front porch light was on. We ran to the doorsteps. I turned to look behind me one last time, and when I saw what it was I screamed…. It was a cow the end."
A few seconds of silence and then J.J. busted out laughing. "You screamed because of a cow?! Your such a baby!"
Everyone laughed at that.
Derek dropped his arm, and shifted on the log where he was facing away from me.
"Okay J.J. you got your story now time to hit the sack." Andrew said.
"But it wasn't even scary." J.J. started whining again.
"Oh well." Andrew replied.
"Whatever."
We all separated into different tents.
J.J. and Parker in one.
Andrew and Charlton in the next.
Derek and Simon in the last 'boys' tent.
Halie and Kaylee shared a tent and I got one to myself. I was suppose to share one with Tori but she got irritated when she found out we were sleeping in tents, so she went back inside.
Good for her.
