Happy Campers

Chapter 3 – Goodnight Campers

I'm pretty sure I have a huge smirk on my face. Madison and Evelyn look like wounded puppies. Well that's what they get for being so eager. Karma's a bitch ha-ha.

After smirking at Madison and Evelyn, I looked back at Spencer, who was looking at me waiting for my answer.

"Well I'm not sleeping on the rug, so lead the way" I gestured my hands for Spencer to move on to the next room.

I went over to where my bags were placed, gripping the handles tightly, I attempted to hoist the bags up and nearly dislocated my shoulder doing so. The girl's laughed. And I think Evelyn may have a laughing problem. She laughs at the smallest thing. Maybe it's just English humour.

Spencer walked off into 'our' room. That felt so good to say; mine and Spencer's room.

Anyhow I was still trying to move my suitcases, which had resulted in me pushing them along the old wooden floor boards. My so called group family continued to laugh as they watched me struggle. And I'll tell you this for free, pushing with all your might, wears you down like you never believe. I'm shattered already and I've only moved about a meter.

A few tiring minutes later, I've managed to get to the second room door. By now I've just about sweated my body weight. So I got the bright idea of resting up against the closed door, I was just gaining my breath back. The next thing I know I'm laying on my back, looking up at a wide eyed Spencer.

"Ashley? What are you doing down there?" I scoffed as I tried to get up. I can hear the girls laughing. I think Kyla is even laughing; Bitches.

"Oh well you know. I was inspecting the floor boards; I just thought I'd get a closer look." Sarcasm is my best friend. I mean honestly, she must be a real airhead. She raised her eyebrows at me. I think she's trying to figure out if I was being serious or not.

Shaking her head, Spencer reached her hand down, offering me her hand. After all the effort used to move those flaming suitcases, I was in no shape to refuse any help. So I took a strong grip of her hand; just in case she decided she would be funny and let me drop to the floor again. Yes I have trust issues.

Amazingly Spencer pulled me up with ease. She must work out. Well actually she does work in an activity camp, so I guess that is enough of a work out. I just want to get to bed.

"Ok girls, that is enough. I'm turning the lights off, so get to bed." The scratchiness of her voice is actually quite appealing. Now normally I don't notice such small things about a person, but I've been observing Spencer at every chance I get. Wow that didn't sound stalker-ish at all did it.



Madison and Evelyn are the first to jump up on their beds; there bunk bed by the way. Madi and Eve are on the top, with Kyla under Madison; ha-ha I bet she's happy about that. And Katie is under Evelyn, I'm pretty sure she got their before Kyla did.

As soon they were all in bed, Spencer hit the lights. Total darkness took over the cabin. How am I meant to see where I'm going with my suitcases, if the bloody lights are off...OMG something just touched my hand. I knew I shouldn't have watched June Cabin, on the ride here.

Well this is starting to take the piss a bit. My suitcases have gone. Now they have both either sprouted legs and walked off or someone is being an ass. Where the hell is Spencer?

"Spencer I don't have my night-vision goggles on me unfortunately" Oh hang on we have light.

"Shut up Ashley. I've put your bags by your bed" I think someone's tired. Seriously she was being all sweet before and now she's being a little bit bossy. Don't get me I like a girl who takes charge, but it was kind of sudden.

Bugger it. I'm tired and I have this disturbed feeling that the camp Counsellors are not going to let us sleep in. I've seen the movies, I known how these 'activity' camps work. Spencer's just lying down on her bed, with a book. It's probably a picture book.

1 Hour later...

I've been lying in this rather comfy bed and I can't sleep. I've been trying to convince myself that it's Spencer's fault, but its not. If I can sleep through the sunlight during the day, then I can defiantly sleep with a little lamp on. I flip over to face Spencer. She's looking straight at me. I wonder how long she's been watching me for.

Anyway after marking her page Spencer shut the book. She was still looking at me.

"What?" I don't mean to be rude, but her staring at me like she was, was making me nervous. Although she's being quite rude herself, she didn't even answer me. She just put her book on the nightstand; that marked the small gap between out beds.

Then once again I was surrounded by darkness.

"Goodnight" It was quiet, but I most defiantly heard it. I was actually smiling. I haven't had anyone say goodnight to me since my mum said it to me, when I fell asleep in the hospital chair next to her bed. That's just once of the nice, but painful memories.

"Goodnight Spence" I whispered. I didn't realise I had shortened her name, till it had already left my mouth. It doesn't matter though, because at the volume I had said it, I don't think she heard me anyway.

Although Ashley may have thought the blond hadn't heard her, she had. And she too was wearing a similar smile to the one of Ashley's, if not bigger.
