Ok…so here are some notes to some people….
Smallgirlwithoutatrace- Do you really know what I'm going to do with Laura?...Is it that obvious?
Midnight-pixie- Ha! I've so missed your reviews! LOL. Anyways….yeah she does write the thing about seeing all of Kostos…but remember…the two were in love. I don't think he would have noticed it. And I LOVE ERIC…my favorite book was the first one! LOL! And Laura will have a part in the story….not a major one…but it will affect the outcome of some of the other characters' relationships…ha! at least I think
Bridget had noticed that over the past few days since they had arrived at camp, Billy had been talking to Laura a lot. Bridget also knew that Laura was absolutely in love with him. She had told Diana and Bridget every time she saw him. (Bridget and Diana had decided not to tell Laura about Billy's past with Bridget.) It was all the two heard about at night while they were having their coaches meeting. Laura may have been a really good soccer player, but she still acted like a sixteen year old.
It was the fifth night since the beginning of camp. Bridget, Diana, and Laura were in their cabin working out strategies and player positions when there was a knock at the door. Laura got up to go get it. She stepped outside for a minute. When she came running back with a huge smile on her face and her face all red, Bridget knew something was up. Laura plopped back down on the bed. "Umm…Diana…can I go for a walk…only for a few minutes?" Diana sighed and then threw her paper's down beside her. "Be back in time for lights out. That's thirty minutes. Please don't get caught." Laura threw her arms around Diana. "Thank-you! Thank-you!"
After Diana had left…with Billy…Bridget knew that for a fact, there was another knock at the door. This time Diana got up to get it. "Hey Eric, Bee and I were just going over the players…come on in." Bridget turned around to see Eric walking into the cabin with three cups of coffee. He handed one to Bridget. "Hey Bee…I just passed Billy and Laura on the walk. I was already on my way over here, right when Billy said that he was going to come and talk to Laura. That just meant one cup of coffee for me!" He handed the other one to Diana and then sat down across from the two on the other bed. Bridget put her cup down to pull up her hair. "I like Laura and all…but she doesn't need to get involved with Billy!" Diana raised her free hand and stopped sipping her coffee for a minute. "I second that." Eric laughed. "Hey Bee, can we talk for a minute? Outside?" Bridget looked at Diana. Diana nodded. "What's one more interruption? First you bring me coffee…then you take away Bee. Go on, I was going to call Marshall in a few minutes anyways." Bridget put her coffee down on the bedside table and followed Eric out the door.
Bridget jumped on Eric's back, when he wasn't paying attention. "What'd you want to talk about?" He pulled her off and brought her in front of him. He sat down in the grass. She followed, her hair hitting him in the face as she came down. Eric looked up into the sky. "I talked to Billy yesterday. He told me the history of you two." "Oh…" Bridget said as she pulled a few blades out of the ground. Eric turned to her. "It was cool. You hadn't seen him in forever…you two had been really good friends growing up…that stuff." Bridget sighed. "Oh! I thought he would have told you about what happened earlier this month!" She paused. Eric took over. "Well he told me that too…but I already knew that. I told him that we did have a history together, but that it's over now. We are just friends." "Oh…" Bridget said again. "That's good…but I don't like Billy anymore…I did. But when he came and stayed at my house for that week, I learned that we could never work."
"You weren't thinking that we were going…to you know…?"Eric quickly responded. Bridget shook her head. "No of course not…why would I want to ruin this? I need you in my life…but I don't need you in my life!" She playfully hit him. They sat in silence for a few minutes, and then they saw a flashlight coming from across the lawn. Bridget and Eric quietly got up and started running back to her cabin. When they reached the front door, they were both laughing hysterically. Bridget rested her hand on Eric's chest. He stopped laughing. She quickly removed it. "I'm sorry…I'm going to go now. I'll see you tomorrow morning." Eric grabbed her hand. She looked up at him. He moved in closer. "Just this one time…" Bridget let him kiss her. She backed away before it got to passionate. Happy that the lights were out in the cabin and on the porch, she let her hand slip through his and walked inside.
When she got in, she found Diana sitting by the desk with a flashlight. Laura walked out of the bathroom. She still had that smile on her face. Bridget looked at Diana and raised her eyebrows. Diana looked at Laura. "Billy kissed her…" Laura's smile got bigger. "He's so sweet." Bridget walked over behind Diana and leaned down to whisper in her ear. "Well she's not the only one who got kissed." Diana turned around. "So that's what you two were doing!" She said slyly. The two girls laughed. Bridget went into the bathroom to take a shower. She still had five minutes before lights out.
Tibby was sitting in Carmen's room waiting for Carmen to come back from the kitchen. Tibby had gotten today off of work and hadn't told Brian where she was going. Carmen came waltzing back in with two cokes and a bag of popcorn. Stephen came in behind her. "Sorry to interrupt you two, but I just talked to Zahra…she wants to know if we want to go eat dinner with her before she leaves for New York tomorrow. Any takers?" Carmen shrugged. "I'd love to. Tibby?" Tibby nodded her head. "Sure…I guess."
Thirty minutes later the three were still sitting on the freeway. They could see the D.C. horizon in the distance. Carmen drove horribly in traffic. Tibby and Stephen were terrified. Finally they reached the city and drove to Zahra's hotel. They found Zahra waiting outside. Stephen got out greeting her. She looked completely different in jeans and a t-shirt. She leaned forward from the back seat and reached out her hand to shake Tibby's hand. "I'm Zahra…nice to meet you." Tibby shook her hand. "I'm Tibby." Zahra sat back and nudged Stephen in the elbow. "So this is the Tibby you've been talking non stop about?" Tibby looked at Stephen. He was blushing. "Yes Zahra…this would be the Tibby. Now shut up." Zahra smiled. "You get embarrassed so easily! I know this perfect place guys. It's quiet. I'd really like to talk to you Tibby about some stuff." Tibby went stiff. What could Zahra possibly want?
The four drove up to the place Zahra directed them to. It was in the middle of downtown, a little Asian restaurant that Tibby had seen but never gone into. Zahra ordered for everyone and then turned to face Tibby, who was sitting on her right. "Stephen tells me that you are into film. What kind of stuff do you like to film?" Tibby took a sip of her water. "Documentaries mostly." Carmen hit Tibby's arm from across the table. "She's the best." Tibby smiled. She had to admit that she loved her work. Zahra began to speak again. "I have a proposition for you…I mean if you are willing to hear...It's…" Tibby stopped her. "I'm willing…go on." "Ok," Zahra stated, "Well I'm going to New York tomorrow. Then I'm leaving for London a week or two after…I was wondering if you would want to come to London with me and help me film a documentary." Tibby couldn't believe it. "You like to make movies?" Zahra laughed at the question. "Like to…I love to…wait! Stephen didn't tell you?" Tibby shook her head. Zahra hit Stephen. "My older brother is the vice-president of my uncle's production company in London." Tibby was eating a piece of bread. She started to choke. "What…excuse me…are you serious?" Zahra was nodding her head. "They are always looking for new talent. I haven't seen any of your films, but even if they did stink they could still use you. It would be an awesome experience." Tibby leaned over and hugged Zahra. "I'll have to talk to my parents…but yeah! Oh my gosh…Zahra…I don't know what to say." "Just say yes…plus you won't have to pay for anything, only your expenses in the city. And you will be getting a paycheck…a hefty one at that. My uncle's production company is really well off. We have offices all over the world. Most of the movies coming from England have my uncle's name written all over them. It will of course be till the end of summer. I know you've got to get back to NYU." Tibby had forgotten about that. Maybe she could just stay in London…she had good enough grades to get into Oxford right? Hey, a girl could hope.
Lalalalalalalalalala! Everyone but Lena! I got home at like 1:00…school got out early. Then I don't start studying for my exams…I write for you people! I hope you like it!
