"Come on Alex, let's go!"
Alex was reading one of her favorite books while Olivia, Melinda and Casey were getting ready to go to archery. The three girls only saw Alex reading a book.
"Hey Alex, I don't mean to be rude but I don't think you came here to read books" Melinda joked.
"I'll meet up with everyone in a minute..."
"You know, I'm sure your parents didn't drive you here just to stay in this cabin and read books all day."
Alex looked up when Casey said her comment. Melinda and Olivia didn't say anything, but they knew that Casey didn't really like Alex.
"I like reading..."
"So what?" Casey asked "There's more to life than reading .Hell, I love archery."
"That sounds appealing, but no thanks."
"What? Are you afraid that when you touch the bow that it's going to attack you?"
Alex didn't say anything as Casey shook her head.
"Whatever..."
"Come on Casey, let's just go" Olivia said "Amy can deal with her."
When the three girls left the cabin, Alex couldn't help but look back at her book and realize why Casey seemed so frightening.
"Oh look, it's Dani Beck"
Olivia, Melinda and Casey were sitting on a picnic table during tennis. Alex was playing tennis against another camper in the group. Casey hated the fact that Alex would only endure in the safe activities like tennis. The three girls saw Dani Beck watching the guys play basketball a few feet away.
"How lame is that?" Casey asked "Does she really think that one of those guys will find her attractive?"
Olivia and Melinda snickered. One of the guys left the court to grab a drink, and Dani decided to follow.
"Does anyone want to start a bet that the guy will tell her to get lost?" Casey asked with a smile on her face.
"I bet you five bucks, since that's all I have" Melinda said.
"I bet you ten bucks that the guy will come over here and introduce himself to us" Olivia said. Melinda and Casey looked at Olivia with confusing looks on their faces.
"Are you serious?"
"I'm quite serious" Olivia said "Watch"
Elliot walked over to the water cooler to grab some water. His team was winning, but his energy was disappearing. When he was filling up his water bottle, a skinny and dirty blond hair girl walked over to him.
"Hi, I'm Dani!" she said over-excitedly.
"Uh, I'm Elliot" he said. He felt uncomfortable with this weird girl around. He wondered when he was going to see that cute girl he saw yesterday.
"You're such a great basketball player" Dani said "You must play at home."
"I do" Elliot said with a smile on his face.
"That's really cool."
"Yes, it is..."
Elliot finished filing his water bottle and turned around. While Dani was talking randomly about things he didn't want to hear, he saw her. Elliot saw the girl with her two familiar friends, and knew that this was the perfect time to introduce himself.
"Excuse me Dani" Elliot said "I...forgot my backpack at that picnic table. It was nice to meet you though."
Elliot left Dani and walked over to the three girls. They were laughing amongst each other over something. He smiled at them as he walked closer to the three girls.
"I hope I'm not interrupting anything" he said.
The girls looked at him and stopped laughing.
"Hello there" Melinda said, trying not to laugh.
"I couldn't help but notice how the three of you were almost dying of laughter at this table" Elliot said
"It's a long story" Casey said "We couldn't help but notice that you walked over here."
"I decided to avoid a certain bug..."
"What's your name?" Olivia asked. He looked at her, and was glad that she was the one who asked that question.
"I'm Elliot" he said "I don't think I know any of you."
"This is Melinda, this is Casey" Olivia said as the girls smiled at him "And I'm Olivia"
"Olivia, what a name" he said, trying not to make a complete fool of himself "Well, it was nice meeting all of you. We'll probably meet up again soon, hopefully. Goodbye girls."
"Goodbye Elliot"
As Elliot walked back to the basketball courts, Olivia looked at Casey and Melinda.
"I believe the both of you owe me ten bucks" she said with a huge grin on her face.
