The Radio lay bunched in the sand but not broken beyond repair, the other tent tipped on its side about ½ a mile down the golden beach, and 6 teenagers and a young boy stood amazed that the damage was not worse.
"This has got to be a dream, cus that storm should have wiped out camp almost completely." Daley said standing next to Nathan who was looking at her she looked up at him and smiled and he smiled back, which made the butterflies dance in both their stomachs.
"I'm surprised we aren't all dead completely." Eric said before receiving several glares and a swat on the head from Taylor. "What! You know you were thinking the same thing." As Taylor and Eric continued their flirting/bickering everybody examined the damage.

"Well I made the rule, and I am the leader…. Maybe we can even get the others together in the process?" he asked, Melissa still in his arms.
