The next morning, the girl's group was forced into an empty cabin for the next day. Of course, the girls didn't forget the sight of Casey in her underwear the night before. Casey didn't find their jokes appealing; she looked horrible from the lack of sleep she had last night.
"Casey, are you all right?" Olivia asked.
"I don't think she does" Melinda said "She looks like she's going to have her head fall into her cereal."
"That would be a better sight to see..."
"I don't know Alex. I think seeing Casey running out of the cabin in her underwear was really amusing."
"I wish we caught that on video or something..."
Before the three girls continued with their jokes, Casey slammed her fists on the table. She made some of her milk in her cereal spill on the table, and the girls knew that they were going to get yelled at.
"I love how you think this is funny" Casey said "Let me tell you why I ran out of there so quickly."
"Go right ahead" Alex said "It will make your story connect to the funny scene of you running in your underwear."
The girls started laughing as Casey got up with her cereal.
"Alex, I ought to spill this all over you like I did with your water a week ago" Casey said "But I won't. I'm going to bed; and if anyone tries to wake me up, I will make sure that there's revenge."
Casey left the dining hall, and the three girls couldn't help but laugh when Casey left.
Both groups were able to gather around the fire pit near the beach. Both counselors gave their campers materials to make s'mores, and the campers wouldn't be any happier.
"Oh Geez, my marshmallow is burn" John said as he took his stick out of the fire.
"No wonder your food burns. You can't cook" Fin joked.
"Can someone hand me some of those chocolate bars?" Casey asked.
When all the campers were eating, they started conversation.
"You know, I'm going to miss all of you" Melinda said "Especially Casey, since she ran out of the cabin in her underwear."
"What? When was this?" Elliot asked. Casey put a hand over her face.
"This happened last night when a tree crashed into our cabin."
"A tree crashed over your cabin?" George asked.
"Why the hell is our group so boring?" John said as he put another marshmallow over the fire.
"Because you're guys" Casey joked.
"That doesn't mean anything" Fin said "There was that time when Elliot tried killing us."
"And then Fin and I threw him in the lake."
"How did we manage to do that?" Fin asked "Elliot is stronger than us?"
"His emotions were more powerful than his muscles that day."
"Very funny, John" Elliot said.
"I think it was the same thing with Casey when she threw that water on me..."
"Does everyone love embarrassing me?"
While most of the group was conversing, Olivia got up and walked away. No one didn't notice, or at least she hoped no one noticed. She walked away from the fire and sat down on the beach. She thought about how she loved it here and how she never wanted to leave.
"Olivia, why did you walk away?"
She turned around and saw Elliot walk in her direction. She gave him a smile while he sat down next to her.
"You know, you need to stop disappearing like that."
"I know."
"Are you all right?" Elliot asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just thinking."
"Right, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about how I don't want to go home tomorrow" Olivia said quietly.
"I don't think any of us want to go home. I know I don't; I want to stay here another week."
"It's different for me, Elliot. There's something back home that I don't want to go to."
"What's that?"
"I don't want to go home to my drunken mother."
Olivia started to cry. Elliot wrapped his arms around her and gave her a friendly kiss on her forehead.
"It will be okay, Liv..."
