The Everlasting Road

Chapter 3

Out of all the outcomes that could have happened with his drug overdose Adrian Ivashkov had never expected one to be signing up for a church camp that covers rehabilitation. Adrian rolled his eyes at the ridiculousness of it as he stood in line with his mother to sign up for six weeks of pure torture. Ugh why did this have to happen to him?

He could feel many eyes staring at him as others were signed up and than he saw her. Possibly one of the most gorgeous creatures he had ever laid eyes on. Her hair was as golden as the sun and her eyes the color of amber. She sure was a beauty and drug addiction or not she was a girl he wanted to get to know.

"I'll be right back."

Before Adrian's mother could say anything more, Adrrian was already halfway to the girl when a guy in his mid- fifties stopped him. Adrian sighed. Great this was just what he needed what did this guy want anyway?

"Hello you must be Adrian, your mother has told me so much about you."

"And you are?" he said never taking his eyes off the blond girl.

"I'm the preacher and the runner of this church camp my wife doesn't really do that much in the way of helping but my daughters are more than helpful with it."

"Daughters?"

"Yes I have three of them Carly, Zoe, and Sydney. Carly and Zoe you'll probably meet later, but Sydney is actually around here somewhere."

Before Adrian could say another word the preacher looked at the amazingly hot blonde girl and smiled.

"Hey Sydney! Can you come here for a second?"

The girl Adrian had been looking at earlier walked over to the preacher as his eyes widened. Oh no.

"Hey dad, what's up?" Sydney said smiling.

"I just wanted you to meet one of our campers. You two are around the same age so I might make you his peer counselor while he's there. If that's okay with you that is."

"It'll be my pleasure dad, but how rude of me I haven't properly introduced myself yet. Hi i'm Sydney Sage and you are?"

"Adrian Ivashkov."

Sydney smiled as he shook his hand. He had to admit that her hand felt nice and warm.

"Well I hope that we an talk more at the camp Adrian."

"Me too Sydney, me too."

Sydney nodded before leaving with her dad. He didn't know what this camp held for him, all he knew was that it was looking better and better the more he thought about it.
