Paige and Christel sat on a hill down the path from the camp site when the rest of the class was. Paige pulled at her cotton tee shirt and Christel laid lazily on the grass next to her.
"What's up?" Christel asked randomly.
"What do you think?" Paige stared at her. Her sense of humor had fallen to low rates in the past three months.
"Anything special happening this month?" Christel asked.
"Um, let's see. The worst camp trip ever, going into my second trimester, puking my guts out, getting clumsier, nothing special really." She watched Christel roll down the hill.
"Wouldn't it be fun if it, like, snowed and we could sled down the hill?" Christel asked as she clumsily walked up the hill.
"Christel, it's May. How can it snow?" Paige said matter-of-factly.
"Oh, yeah." Christel sat next to Paige and watched the sky.
"Is it just me, or is it extra boring?" then Courtney walked down the path from the camp site.
"Hello everyone!" she said and then charged Christel and pushed her down the hill. She and Paige started laughing as Christel rolled down the hill and then spat out grass as she laid face first sprawled on the grass.
"Courtney, I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" and she started to clumsily run up the hill.
Half way up she fell on her face and Courtney and Paige started rolling on the ground laughing their heads off.
"Karmic payback!" Paige stated.
"For what?"
Christel yelled from the bottom of the hill.
"You charged her, so karma saved her."
"Whatever," she sat next to Paige and Courtney made her way back to the camp site. "Have you found the necklace?"
"Oh," Paige looked at the ground.
"'oh' what? What's the 'oh' for?"
"You said I had a month."
"I meant a month to find it!"
Christel got up and paced to the path.
"Maybe Jason knows where it is." And she stormed to the camp site.
Up the trail Christel could see the outline of a person and soon saw Jason coming her way.
"Hey, Jason, have you seen-"
"Fuck off," he yelled and stormed off.
"Oh yeah, that's polite." And she started back to Paige. "Your boyfriend is a bastered."
"Shut up, Christel." Paige shot.
"He is, I just asked him if he knew where the necklace was and-" as Christel walked over to her she fell to the ground.
"Christel?" Paige ran over to her and screamed. The grass was growing around her and held on like chains.
"Well girls, what are you going to do now?" a voice said. "Little Batman and Robin aren't here, and I'm sure you wish that little Robin was here to comfort you Paige."
Paige turned to see Poison Ivy behind her. "N-no, y-y-you can't b-b-be here." Then she felt something on her foot and saw the grass wrapping around her shoes. She shrieked and pulled them off. She tried to run for camp to get help but a tree knocked her over by Ivy.
"No, please, why are you attacking us?" Paige said as Ivy grabbed her by the hair.
"I never break a promise."
*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*
"Paige, Paige wake up." Paige started to open her eyes. She saw Christel on a bunk in the lean to (A lean to is a fort or structure that has two or three walls and a roof, commonly found at girl and boy scout camps) next to hers.
"What happened?" she asked as she tried to remember.
"Ivy,"
"Oh yeah," her hands automatically went to her stomach.
"And we survived thanks to," Christel didn't want to say it.
"Thanks to," Paige egged her on.
"Jason, I said it okay. It's all thanks to Jason that we are alive." Paige smiled. "I still don't like him, you know."
"Why?"
"He got you knocked up!"
"It's not like he raped me!" Paige shot at her.
"He might as well have." Christel laid down and rubbed her temples. "I'm going to try and get some rest, I suggest you do too." As they laid down Paige started to think about Jason.
As soon as she laid her head down she saw Jason appear in the opening to the lean to. She smiled and got up. She slid off the top bunk that she had been on and walked up to Jason. He pulled her into a passionate kiss and pulled her to the woods.
*#two hours later*#
Paige came back to her lean to and Christel sat up in her bunk.
"Have a good time?" she smirked as Paige blushed deep red. "Funny thing, I asked Jason and he had the same thing and he had the exact same blush." That only made Paige blush deeper. "Come on, everyone's at the lake."
Paige changed into her pink bikini and followed Christel to the lake. Once they got there Courtney and Jaleb grabbed Christel and threw her into the lake. Once she hit the cold water she shrieked.
"I'm going to get you!" she pointed at Courtney and Jaleb.
The girls that had been in the class that rejected the trip were sun tanning on the shore. On the other hand all of the guys were throwing a football around or splashing around in the water. Courtney, Christel, and Paige were the only girls in the water.
"Hello, beautiful." Jason scooped Paige into his arms. Paige giggled as he kissed her.
"Get a room." Christel said as she walked by.
"Hey, guys," one of the guys yelled. "I found a tire swing." And then there was a loud splash. Then Jason slipped away and Paige watched him going on the tire swing. He flew off the swing and did a triple back flip in the air and then dived into the water.
When he surfaced he shouted to the shore and Paige yelled back "Show off!" he laughed as he swam back to shore. Jason walked to Paige and wrapped his arms around her as she laughed.
"You're wet," she said.
"Then I guess you are too." He kissed the tip of her nose.
"I'm stealing her, thank you very much." Courtney and Christel said as they pulled Paige away.
"Save me," she said as she was pulled away.
*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*
At the camp fire everyone sat around and laughed. Everyone roasted marshmallows and got their faces covered in mush.
Paige ate her marshmallow and talked with her friends as Jason sat next to her.
"This is seriously boring." Courtney complained.
"I know what to do," and Christel got up.
"Shit, what are you doing, Christel?" Paige asked.
"We need music." And both Paige and Jason's eyes popped.
Christel grabbed her IPod and speakers from her backpack and plugged them in.
"Come one Paige," Christel pulled Paige away from Jason.
"No, no, no, and no!"
"Do you believe in magic?
In a young girls heart
How the music can free her
whenever it starts." Paige stared at Christel. "Sing,"
"And it's magic
if the music is groovy
It makes you feel happy like an old time movie
I'll tell ya about the magic
It'll free your soul
but it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock n roll
If you believe in magic, don't bother to choose
If it's jug band music or rhythm and blues
Just go and listen
It'll start with a smile
It won't wipe off your face no matter how hard you try
Your feet start tapping
And you can't seem to find
How you got there
So just blow your mind
If you believe in magic
Come along with me
We'll dance until morning, just you and me
and maybe, if the music is right
I'll meet ya tomorrow
so late at night
We'll go a dancin' baby then you'll see
all the magic's in the music and the music's in me, yeah
Do you belive in magic? Yeah.
Believe in the magic in a young girl's soul
believe in the magic of rock n roll
Believe in the magic that can set you free
Ohhhh, talkin' bout magic
Do you believe like I believe?
Do you believe in magic?"
As Paige started walking away Christel pulled her back and Courtney came back.
"This isn't fun," Paige stated as she was held captive by her friends.
"Come on, you love the next song."
"I have no choice do I?"
"Greetings loved ones
Lets take a journey
I know a place
Where the grass is really greener
Warm, wet and wild
There must be something in the water
Sippin' gin and juice
Laying underneath the palm trees

*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*
Everyone started going to bed. Paige and Courtney were the last of the girls to file into the girl's lean to and left Christel and Jaleb alone.
"So," Christel said, interrupting the awkward silence.
"You were really good, the singing." Jaleb said.
"Thanks," Christel said with a small laugh. She looked at the dying fire and laughed.
"What's so funny?" Jaleb asked.
"I'm just being a nut job, the image of a flame flower, I mean flame thrower, setting the camp fire back on fire popped into my head."
"That's a little random."
"Yeah, just a little." Christel joked.
*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*
"Don't end up like me," Paige whispered.
Christel laid in her bed.
"Okay and we didn't do anything."
They settled in for bed when a scream echoed in the woods.
