As days became weeks, Roxanne, Gina, Jenna, Jessica, Troy, Chad, and Xavier became better friends. It is a few days until the dance, Roxanne wants to ask Troy, but she is worried he'll say no. So it was Wednesday morning, Roxanne gets out of bed. She wakes up everyone and gets ready. When Roxanne walked out of the cabin, she noticed Luke standing there. Roxanne and Luke became enemies also with Rebecca. Luke rolled his eyes at her. She stood in front of him.
"Don't roll your eyes at me, you're the one standing beside my cabin." Said Roxanne.
"Oh, shut up." Said Luke.
"Go jump off a cliff." Said Roxanne.
Then Jenna, Roxanne and Jessica walked towards the boys cabin. They knocked on the door. Troy answered it. Roxanne waved.
"Yeah, we'll be out in ten minutes." Said Troy.
"Okay, but we don't want to miss breakfast." Said Roxanne.
Then Troy closed the door, while the girls waited.
"Roxanne, when are you gonna ask Troy to the dance?" Asked Jenna.
"Well, not in the morning, because the will take him by surprise." Said Roxanne.
At this time Jenna and Chad were going to the dance together and so was Xavier and Gina. Troy just needed the guts to ask Roxanne, and Roxanne had to swallow her pride to ask Troy.
--
In the boy's cabin, Chad came out of the bathroom to leave for breakfast.
"Troy, when are you gonna ask Roxanne to the dance?" Asked Chad.
"Well, not this morning. So I'll ask her this afternoon." Said Troy.
"If you don't ask today I'm gonna ask for you." Said Chad.
"Okay, I'm gonna ask her." Said Troy.
Then Xavier walked back into the cabin.
"You wanna go now?" Asked Xavier.
"Yeah, we were just coming." Said Troy.
The three boys walked out of the cabin to the girls who were standing on the path.
"Alright, we can go now." Said Troy.
"Alright." Said Roxanne.
The six of them walked down the pathway to the mess hall. There was a line up, so they six of them waited. Then Luke and Rebecca came up behind them. Rebecca walked up to Roxanne.
"Don't you have a question for Troy?" Asked Rebecca in a snobby voice as she turned around to face Troy.
She smiled at him and then faced Roxanne again. Roxanne looked up at Troy, then back at Rebecca.
"No I don't." Said Roxanne.
"But you were talking about it all last night. You can ask Jessica and Jenna."
Then Rebecca turned to face Jessica and Jenna. Jessica and Jenna knew if they said a word Roxanne would kill them.
"I don't know what you are talking about, maybe you are just crazy." Said Jenna.
"You know I am right Jenna, you can't lie." Said Rebecca.
Then Jenna looked at Rebecca's ugly shoes, which looked like they were tie-dyed.
"Oh, wait. I forgot to tell you. While you were sleeping I got a call. It was the sixties. They want their shoes back." Said Jenna.
Troy, Chad and Xavier burst out laughing. Rebecca stomped her right foot in embarrassment and stormed off back to Luke.
Roxanne went up to Jenna. "Thank you so much!"
Then the line-up started to move. The six friends began to walk inside. They grabbed some food and walked over to their usual spot. They sat down and began to eat. They talked about the dance that was coming up on Friday; the girls were talking about their dresses. Then Roxanne leaned to Jenna.
"I think I am gonna ask him now." Whispered Roxanne.
"Really?" Asked Jenna.
Roxanne nodded. "Troy, I have a question for you."
Troy looked up at her. "Sure go ahead."
"I was wondering if you wanted to go to the dance with me?" Asked Roxanne as she looked down at her cereal.
She looked up in the corner her eye; she saw Xavier and Chad with there mouths open looking at Troy.
"Yeah, I'll go to the dance with you." Said Troy.
Roxanne and smiled. "Wow, Roxanne you really have guts. You asked Troy to the dance. He was gonna ask you today in the afternoon." Said Chad.
Roxanne laughed. "I was ask you during the afternoon as well."
"Will all basketball players for today's tournament please come to the main cabin."
"Well Troy we better go." Said Roxanne.
"Okay, good luck guys." They said.
Roxanne and Troy walked off and dropped their plates at the kitchen and left the mess hall.
Her and Troy walked to the main cabin. When they got there, they had their jerseys. They needed these jerseys because they had a basketball tournament against another sports camp.
"Here are your jerseys, boys you can put them on right here, while Roxanne can go and put it on in your cabin." Said Kim.
Roxanne was the only girl on the team. She walked to her cabin and put on her jersey. Then she walked to the front of the main cabin. The bus with their opponents pulled up to the front. The players walked off the bus. They lined up in front of them. They did a handshake and wished each other a good game.
Soon enough the game had started, spectators starting sitting in the stands. The game had begun and Troy and Roxanne were screaming plays at each other. Roxanne was screaming at everybody.
"Keep your head up!"
"Pass the ball!"
"You can pass better than that!"
After an intense game, Camp RunningCreek had won, 46 to 34.
"Wow you guys were great, great way to take charge out there Roxanne." Said Jenna to Roxanne and Troy.
"Thanks" Said Roxanne giving Jenna a hug. Then Roxanne broke away from the hug to shake hands with the other team. They got into their two different lines. And shook hands. Then their opponents got on their bus and left. All the spectators had to go to their groups. Roxanne went to change and wash-up. She came out, and walked over to the main cabin. She saw Luke.
"Roxanne, can I talk to you?" Asked Luke.
"What do you want?" Asked Roxanne.
"I just wanted to say I am sorry. I never wanted us to be mortal enemies. I want to us be friends." Said Luke.
" I wanted to be friends to, but you were being a snob, and that bothered me. I just wanted you to act like yourself, and stop trying to impress Rebecca, if she doesn't like how you are. Then she isn't worth it." Said Roxanne.
"Then can we be friends?" Asked Luke.
"Sure" Said Roxanne to reassure him.
Then Troy walked up to Roxanne. "So have you made peace with Luke?" Asked Troy.
"Yes, we have found our common ground. And now we are friends." Said Roxanne.
"Let's go meet up with our group." Said Troy. Then Troy and Roxanne and Luke walked down the path looking for their group.
--
"What's going on?" asked Jenna as she leaned over to Roxanne.
Roxanne was waving at Luke and he waved back.
"Oh, me and Luke?" Asked Roxanne still looking at Luke.
Jenna grabbed Roxanne's head turned it towards her.
" Yes! You and Luke are waving at each other! I thought you guys were mortal enemies?" Asked Jenna.
"Not anymore. He came up to me and apologized, and I forgave him."
Gina and Jenna look at each other stunned.
"Well, I am glad that we aren't gonna be fighting with him anymore." Said Gina.
"But what about Rebecca?" Asked Jenna.
"Well, Luke and I aren't fighting but I am not to sure about Rebecca, but if she wants to hate me then whatever. I really don't care." Said Roxanne.
"Okay guys and gals, let's walk over to the volleyball court to get ready to face group two for volleyball." Said Joey.
Roxanne, Jenna and Gina got up and started walking to the volleyball court.
"Let's get off the Luke topic. Anyways, I am so happy that you and Troy are going to the dance together." Said Gina.
Roxanne laughed. "Well I am happy too. It was gonna bug me the whole day anyways." Said Roxanne.
Then Troy, Chad and Xavier came up to the girls.
"Hey girls, ready for the dance tomorrow?" Asked Xavier.
Jenna and Gina look at Roxanne. Roxanne smiled.
"Yup I'm ready."
"What are you gonna be wearing?" Asked Jenna.
"I don't know what I'm wearing, and I don't make a big deal about what I am wearing like you girls." Said Xavier.
"Well if you did, you look a lot better." Laughed Gina.
Xavier looked down at his shirt and jeans and back at the girls. The girls were laughing out loud.
"Thanks for that, and I'll remember that when you are dancing with me."
"I know you still love me."
"Who said I loved you? I am just taking you as my date."
Xavier walked away to talk to the boys. Gina turned around to face the girls.
"Did you hear that? He said he didn't love me." Said Gina looking at the ground.
"Don't worry, it is just a dance. I can see if you were a couple, and he didn't say he loved you." Said Roxanne.
"So true, and take it from a girl who dated him. When you're an item, he'll be saying he loves you all the time. It will be his favourite sentence." Said Jenna.
"Yeah, I guess you are right." Said Gina as she smiled.
"Anyhoo, what are you wearing to the dance tomorrow night?" Asked Jenna.
"Well I am wearing a nice hot pink dress that goes to my knees with silver kitten heels." Said Gina.
"I am wearing a black dress, it goes to my knees as well with black flats." Said Roxanne.
"Well, I am wearing dark green halter top dress with stilettos which will also match." Said Jenna grinning from ear to ear.
Roxanne and Gina look at each other and back at Jenna.
"Are you gonna be able to dance?" Asked Gina.
"Hopefully." Said Jenna.
"But I know what you'll be able to do." Said Roxanne.
"What?" Asked Jenna.
"Fall over." Laughed Roxanne.
Gina bursted out laughing. Jenna glared at the two girls. They stopped immediately. The three boys walked over to the girls.
"Hey Roxanne." Said Troy.
"Hey guys, what's up?" Asked Roxanne.
"Not much but I totally forgot to congratulate you on your game this morning." Said Chad.
Chad gave Roxanne a high five. "Thanks guys."
" I wouldn't be on top of my game if it wasn't for you." Said Troy.
"I know" She said as she smiled.
Chad and Xavier gave her another high five. Troy sat down beside her. Roxanne looked him; she had a dandelion in her hair. Troy pulled the dandelion out of her hair and showed her. She blushed and smiled, Jenna and Gina looked at each other.
"Aw…" they said under their breath. Roxanne looked at the girls and they grinned.
"So, do you guys wanna shot some hoops?" Asked Gina.
"Nah, after the tournament I don't even want to think about basketball." Said Troy.
"What about volleyball?" Suggested Jenna.
"I had bad experience with volleyball." Said Chad.
"Hmmm… what about lacrosse?" Asked Xavier.
"Ew… how random." Laughed Roxanne.
"Hey that would fun though, none of us are good at it. It would be fun to see how bad we look." Said Jenna.
"Yeah, it does sound fun, and it isn't like people will start coming around to watch." Said Troy.
Roxanne looked at Troy. "We don't know that for sure." Roxanne said.
"Well, either way we're gonna play. So get your bums off the ground and make your way to the field. Roxanne and Jenna help me get the equipment." Said Gina with her hands on her hips.
Roxanne and Jenna roll their eyes at her and walk over to the equipment shack. The three boys got up and walked over to the field.
"Roxanne! Oh my god, that was so cute!" squealed Jenna and Gina at the same time.
"What do you mean?" Asked Roxanne while she picked up a blue lacrosse stick.
"Troy pulling that dandelion out of your hair, and you blushed so hard. You almost turned red like a rose. And that is a lot of blushing for a dark skinned person." Said Gina.
Roxanne dropped the stick and put her hands on her cheeks.
"Really? Was it that noticeable?"
"Yup." Said Jenna and Gina.
Roxanne picked up the lacrosse stick, which she dropped and picked up another one.
"Come on, let's get the equipment. The boys are waiting."
--
The girls came back to the field a placed the sticks on the ground. "Let's play." Said Gina
Everyone grabbed a lacrosse stick and stood there. "I don't want to pick teams, if you have a yellow stick you are on my team. If you have a green lacrosse stick them you are on Jenna's team." Said Roxanne.
The group broke into their assigned teams. The game started and they played really bad. Jenna fell because Chad tripped her. Roxanne went after Xavier but Troy tripped her. Roxanne got up and dusted her self off. Troy was running with the ball, Roxanne caught up to him and knocked the ball out of his stick. She got it and ran over to the net. She shot at the net and got a goal.
They kept playing for along time and laughing and having a good time. Then a crowd formed. Just like what Troy didn't want to happen.
" I am tired, guys." Said Jenna.
"Yeah and it is almost lunch." Said Roxanne.
They crowd moaned and walked off in their separate ways.
"Can you guys help us carry the stuff back to the shed?" Asked Jenna.
"Yeah." Said Chad. Everyone carries their sticks and walks to the equipment shack.
Roxanne threw her stick on top of the pile; it fell off and took the rest of the sticks with them.
"Oops… I better pick those up." Said Roxanne.
Roxanne went over to the pile and began re-stacking the sticks.
Troy went over to help her, they began to pick up sticks and re-stack the sticks. Troy was looking at Roxanne picking up the sticks. Her dark brown hair moved from side to side as she picked up sticks that were scattered along the floor. Roxanne looked up and saw Troy looking at her. Troy tried to look down before she could notice, but in the corner of his eye he saw her smile at him.
"Okay well we're done, we can go to lunch now." Said Roxanne.
Roxanne got up and walked over to the door.
"Roxanne you are such a fool, I can't believe you were able to knock over all those lacrosse sticks." Laughed Gina.
Roxanne looked at Troy "well at least someone was nice enough to help me."
Troy walked over to everyone who stood at the door. "Let's go to lunch now." He said. Everyone nodded and they made their way to lunch.
While the group of friends walk over to the mess hall they saw Rebecca trying to hold Luke back. Roxanne and the rest of her friends got into line. Troy stood beside Chad. He whispered something into Chad's ear. Chad looked at Troy and nodded. The line began to move. They all started to move up.
"What would you like?" Asked the lady behind the counter. They got their lunch and found a table to sit at. Gina left and sat down with her other friends, which she sat with all the time. Jessica came over to their table and sat down. She had a salad and a glass of water on her tray.
"Jess, are you okay?" Asked Troy.
"Yeah I am fine, why do you ask?" Asked Jessica.
"You have such little food on your tray." Said Jenna.
"I am not that hungry, I had a big breakfast." Said Jessica.
"Are your counselors calling you fat?" Asked Jenna.
"Yes." Said Jessica as she hung her head down.
"Jessica don't worry, they are just jealous that your are skinner then them. Carly and Erica always had problems with their weight." Said Jenna.
"If you act like it doesn't bother you then they won't get the satisfaction of bullying you, and then they will leave you alone." Said Roxanne.
Jessica sat there in silence. Jessica began to eat her salad and sat there quietly. Troy saw that Roxanne was really worried about Jessica. Jessica finished her salad and got up from the table. Troy leaned in to the table.
"Is Gina gonna talk to Kim about this?" Asked Troy.
"I don't know, hopefully she will." Said Jenna.
They all finished up their lunches and dropped off their plates at the kitchen and went outside.
--
While everyone was walking back to his or her groups, Roxanne saw Jessica. She was with Rebecca.
"You guys, do you see what I see?" Asked Roxanne.
"Yeah, what has gotten into her?" Asked Xavier.
"You know what? Let's forget about it. If she wants help then she can get herself, but if she wants to hang out with the wrong crowd then let her get hurt." Said Troy.
"Wow Troy, I never heard you talk like that." Said Roxanne.
Jenna knew that Roxanne loved a guy who was aggressive but also sweet at that same time. Jenna smiled at Roxanne and she smiled back. Then they arrived at their regular meeting spot when they are in their groups. They sat down and waited for Toby and Joey. Then Toby and Joey finally arrived.
"So guys, we have played so many games so far, so we have decided that we are going to play soccer." Said Toby.
Chad and Jenna both complained at the same time. Then they both turned and looked at each other and laughed. Roxanne laughed, so did Troy. Everyone got up and walked over to the soccer field. Toby and Joey broke their group in to two different teams. Roxanne was on the rest of group one's group. Chad and Luke went up to start the game.
After at least fifteen minutes Toby interrupted the game.
"Let's take a break before you all pass out." Said Toby.
Everyone walked off the field and sat down on the benches with their friends. Troy and Jenna both were lying on the grass facing the sky. They were panting.
"Why are you guys so tired?" Asked Roxanne.
She was standing over them. Jenna and Troy both opened one eye and looked at her.
Roxanne laughed. "It isn't like you did anything."
Troy and Jenna looked at each other and then turned their focus back to Roxanne. Roxanne grinned. They both sat up and nodded at each other. Roxanne cocked her head to the left like a confused dog. Troy grabbed his water bottle and squirted Roxanne in the face. Roxanne screamed. When Troy finally stopped, Jenna and Troy were rolling on the floor laughing. Roxanne took a corner of her orange t-shirt and wiped her face with it.
"Oh really?" Asked Roxanne.
Troy and Jenna couldn't hear what Roxanne said because they were to busy laughing. Roxanne grabs her water bottle and squirted Jenna and Troy. Jenna and Troy start screaming and rolling around in the grass. Roxanne, Chad, Gina and Xavier were laughing. Roxanne stopped squirting Troy and Jenna. Jenna sits up and wiped her eyes. Troy sits up and looks up at Roxanne.
"What goes around comes around." Said Roxanne.
Troy gives a sarcastic laugh. Roxanne puts her hand out to help Troy up. Since both their hands were wet, their hands slipped out each other's grip. Roxanne fell on top of Troy. They rolled over and Troy was on top her. Roxanne looked up and saw Troy on top her. Xavier, Chad and the girls were laughing. Troy raises head and laughs. Roxanne let's out a nervous giggle.
"Well this is kind of awkward." Said Roxanne.
"Oh Sorry." Said Troy.
Troy got off of Roxanne and put his hand out to help her.
"No offence, but I tried to help you up and look where we ended up, so it is better off if I get up on my own." Said Roxanne
Troy laughed. "That is true."
"Break is over because some of us are enjoying a little too much." Said Joey looking at Roxanne and her friends.
Everyone went to their assigned spots on the field.
Chad walked over to Troy. "That was too funny, aren't you lucky that the girl of your dreams fell on top of you?"
"What do you mean? I totally didn't notice that." Said Troy with a mischievous grin.
"Liar." Said Chad as we walked to the middle of the field.
--
"Alright let's wrap this up, the losing team has to put away the equipment." Said Toby.
Roxanne grabbed the soccer ball and walked over to the equipment shack. Roxanne dropped the soccer ball in to the bin and closed the door. Roxanne walked over to her friends to congratulate them on wining the game.
"Great job guys. It pretty cool that you beat us in twenty minutes." Said Roxanne.
"Well we would have been a better team if you were on it." Said Gina.
"How could you say that? You guys were awesome. And they did need one good person on the other team." Laughed Roxanne.
The six friends walked over to the picnic benches where the rest of their group were sitting.
"Since we have nothing planned, you guys can go on your own and play some sports. You can't be sitting here talking. You have to be playing a sport." Said Joey.
Roxanne and Jenna rolled their eyes. Roxanne leaned over Troy. "Meet me and the rest of the girls by the bathroom. We can chill there. Not the bathrooms by our cabins, the bathrooms by the mess hall. Pass it on to the rest of the boys."
Troy nodded in agreement and leaned over to the rest of the boys. Jenna got up and ran her hands through her damp hair.
"Let's go over and play some basketball." Said Jenna as she winked.
This was the signal to get them to the bathroom. Everyone got up and walked over to the basketball court. The bathrooms by the mess hall came right before the basketball court. Roxanne walks up to the girls' bathroom door.
"Okay, in the back of the boys' bathroom there is a door, knock on that door twice alright?" Said Roxanne quietly.
"How do you know this?" Asked Troy.
"I have my ways." Said Roxanne as she winked. "Come on girls." as she entered the bathroom.
The boys entered their bathroom as well. Roxanne walked to the back of the bathroom to a door, which was locked.
"Roxy, it is locked." Said Jenna.
"It was always locked, all you have to do is unlock it." Said Roxanne. As she said that she pulled a bobby pin out her jeans pocket. She stuck the bobby pin in the lock and turned the lock. The lock made a "click" and suddenly was able to open. Roxanne opened the door and the other girls followed her in. Behind that door was a small room, which had two doors. One door that lead to the boys' bathroom and the other that lead the girls' bathroom. Jenna and Gina sat down; Roxanne was still standing up so she could open the door for the boys. Then Roxanne heard two knocks on the door. Roxanne opened the door and sat down. The three boys walked in the small room and sat down.
"Wow, how did you guys find this room?" Asked Xavier.
"Well this guy liked Roxanne a lot and, he knew everything about the camp. So he showed her this place. Then Roxanne went out with him just to show her appreciation." Said Jenna.
"Did you guys do anything in here?" Asked Troy.
"No. I just went out with him to make him feel better about himself. Anyways he was bringing down my reputation a lot." Said Roxanne.
Everyone laughed.
"It is cold in here and, all the years Roxanne and I have been hanging out here I never noticed." Said Jenna.
"As you say that I began to feel cold as well." Said Gina.
Xavier puts his arm around Gina to keep her warm. Gina looks up at him with her green eyes.
"Thanks" She said shyly.
Chad and Troy put their arms Jenna and Roxanne. The two girls look at each other and smile.
"Wanna play truth or dare?" Asked Chad.
"Sure, there isn't anything else to do." Said Gina.
"Alright who wants to go first?" Asked Troy.
"Roxanne, as out fearless leader. Would you like to go first?" Asked Xavier.
"Sure, why not." Said Roxanne as she shrugged.
"Truth or dare?"
"Why don't we play truth since we don't have much room to move around." Suggested Jenna.
"Yeah, that is a good idea. So I pick truth." Said Roxanne.
"Do you like someone in this room?" Asked Xavier.
"Yeah." Answered Roxanne. Everyone except Roxanne looked at Troy and smiled.
"Chad, are you really gonna miss anyone here from camp?" Asked Roxanne.
"Oh course I am." Answered Chad. This game went on for bit.
"Wait, Roxanne what time is it?" Asked Gina.
"It is three forty five." Answered Roxanne.
"We better leave before people get suspicious." Said Jenna.
Troy got up to open the door to the boys' bathroom. He pulled on the handle but it wouldn't open.
"Roxy, the door isn't opening to the boys' bathroom." Said Troy. At this time Roxanne had the door to the girls' bathroom open.
"Here, will sneak you guys out through the girls bathroom." Said Roxanne.
"What?" Said Xavier and Chad in unison.
"It is the only way unless you want to be trapped here forever." Said Gina.
"I am not coming out of the girls' bathroom." Said Chad.
"Fine I'll get out and sneak in to the boys' bathroom and open the door for you guys." Said Roxanne.
"No, I can't let you do that." Said Troy.
"Exactly, so that is why I am gonna do it." Said Jenna.
"Really are you sure?" Asked Roxanne.
"Yeah, I'll pop right in and unlock the door and rescue the boys." Said Jenna.
"Alright, be right out the door if you need me." Said Roxanne. Roxanne and Jenna left the small room and walk through the girls' bathroom. Then they reached the outside of the bathroom.
"Alright I am going in." Said Jenna.
Jenna opened the door to the boys' bathroom and walked in. She grabbed the bobby that Roxanne gave to her and put it on the lock of the door. She turned the lock and it made a "click" sound. The door was able to open. Jenna made two knocks on the door and ran out. The boys opened the door and made their way out of the bathroom out to meet the girls.
"Thanks Jenna, you totally saved us." Said Chad. Jenna smiled. Roxanne cleared her throat.
"And you too Roxanne." Said Chad.
Roxanne smiled. "But wait, didn't we get stuck in that small room because of Roxanne?" Asked Troy.
Roxanne put her hands on her hips. "How I was suppose to know that the guys' bathroom door was gonna get stuck?"
Jenna softly laughed and Roxanne quickly shot a look at her.
"Roxanne, I'm kidding. And if it wasn't for you we be playing basketball." Said Troy.
Roxanne smiled.
"Sorry guys but I think we should get going." Said Gina.
"Yeah, we need to get to the basketball and pretend that we were playing." Said Roxanne.
Then Roxanne grabbed her water bottle and put some water on her face to make her look like she was sweating. Jenna did the same thing.
"Come on guys, we have to make it to the basket ball court before Toby and Joey do." Said Roxanne.
The six of them crept over to the basketball court without being seen. Gina saw a basketball on the ground and grabbed it.
"Hey guys I got us a basket ball." Said Gina.
"Nice." Said Chad.
"Alright, we're here. Chad you take the ball and Xavier you look like you are going after him. Everyone else pair up." Said Roxanne.
Roxanne paired up with Jenna and Gina paired up with Troy. Then Chad went to do a lay up until Joey and Toby came.
"Hey, you guys better wrap up. We're going to dinner now." Said Joey.
"Oh, alright." Said Jenna.
"Hey, I never thought we would pull it off." Said Xavier.
"Of course we would." Said Jenna.
"Because were cool like that." Said Roxanne. Then Jenna and Roxanne stuck a gangster pose.
"Let's leave these gangsters, and go to dinner." Said Xavier.
Roxanne and Jenna rolled their eyes and begun to walk with their friends up to the mess hall. When they got to the mess hall there wasn't a line up. Chad opened the door and walked in. everyone else followed.
"Why is it so empty?" asked Troy.
"The only people in here are group one." Said Roxanne.
"Well let's get our food, before everyone else comes." Said Xavier.
So they all got their trays and got their dinner.
"Chad why don't you pick where we eat?" Suggested Jenna.
Roxanne dropped her jaw. Jenna flashed a smile at her.
"But I always pick where we eat!" Said Roxanne loudly.
"Well let Chad choose today." Said Jenna.
Chad chose a table by the window. They sat down and began to eat. Then Jessica came.
"Hey guys."
"Why are you here?" Asked Roxanne.
"Why aren't you with your friend with the ugly shoes?" Asked Jenna.
"Well you know what forget you, I don't need you. At least Rebecca is a good friend. And she listens to me." Said Jessica.
"We were trying to help you." Said Roxanne.
"Well I didn't want your help." Said Jessica.
"Well what are you going to do about it? Sit there and let them make fun of you? Well if that is you choice then I don't care. Go be friends with Rebecca, because fully if you can see my face it doesn't give a damn." Said Roxanne.
Jessica turned around and walked off.
"Wow you girls are harsh." Said Troy.
"I don't care, and you are the one that said she would get hurt if she is going to hang out with the wrong crowd." Said Roxanne.
"Anyways, do any of you know the theme of the dance this year?" Asked Chad.
Roxanne and Jenna looked at each other. Troy gasped.
"What?" Asked Roxanne and Jenna in unison, as they looked around frantically.
"This the first time you don't know anything." Said Troy.
The two girls laughed.
"Well I am done. Troy I'll see you in the cabin. See you girls later." Said Chad.
"Bye Chad." Said everyone.
"Does anyone want something? I am going to get another drink." Said Roxanne.
"Can you get me another drink as well Roxy?" Asked Jenna.
"Sure, what do you want?" Asked Roxanne.
"Water will be fine." Said Jenna.
Roxanne walked off. "So Troy, do you like Roxanne?" Asked Xavier.
"Why would I tell you? So you can tell Roxanne." Said Troy.
"I wouldn't tell Roxanne." Said Xavier.
"Yeah, you would slip up to Gina and she would tell Roxanne. And don't get me started on Jenna." Said Troy.
Xavier looked at Jenna. "What? I am agreeing. I would tell Roxanne. I am not gonna lie." Said Jenna as she played with a piece of lettuce on her plate.
"Well I …" Before Troy could finish. Roxanne was standing right there.
"Well what?" Asked Roxanne as she passed the water over to Jenna.
"I was just telling Xavier what I going to do when I get back home from camp." Said Troy.
Troy looked around the table. Jenna rolled her eyes, Roxanne was drinking some water and Xavier was grinning like a fool.
"Well it looks like were finished." Said Troy.
"Yeah, I am going to go back to the cabin." Said Roxanne.
"Same here." Said Jenna.
"Well I'll see you guys later." Said Roxanne. Roxanne and Jenna got up and walked out of the mess hall. Troy and Xavier got up and left the mess hall. Troy and Xavier walked over to their cabin. Troy walked inside. Chad was sitting on his bed reading some book.
"Please tell me you aren't reading a book." Said Troy.
"No, I am reading something way more interesting." Said Chad not even taking his eyes off the book.
"Is that even possible?"
"What do you mean?"
"You using the adjective interesting to describe a book."
Chad looked up and laughed as well. "No it is Luke's journal." Said Chad as he showed it to Troy.
"When do boys have journals?" Asked Troy. "Why does it matter? This stuff is gold." Said Chad. Then Troy started reading as well.
Then he saw a page, but Chad turned the page.
"Chad can you go back to the other page?" Asked Troy.
"Sure." Answered Chad. Chad flipped the page and Troy read:
Well today I was walking back from basketball practise until I saw Roxanne and Jenna walking home from the mall. Jenna was trying to get my attention but I was ignoring her because I don't like her. Though if it weren't for her then I wouldn't be going on a date on Roxanne this Friday…
"Troy, can you believe he actually got a date with Roxanne?" Asked Chad.
"But it says that it was all because of Jenna." Said Troy.
"We better stop reading, because I hear someone coming." Said Chad.
Troy and Chad got up and Chad placed the journal back where he found it, underneath Luke's mattress. Then Luke came through the door.
"What are you two doing by my bed?" He asked in an obnoxious voice.
"I dropped something jeez…" Said Chad.
"Well hurry up and get out of my way." Luke said. Chad walked over to his bed and sat down. Troy sat down on his bed, which was right beside Chad's.
"So, are you ever gonna tell Roxanne you like her?" Asked Chad.
"I don't know, but I'm not too sure she likes me." Said Troy.
"Troy, did you hear her when we were playing truth and dare? She totally confessed she liked you."
"No she said she liked someone in that room." Said Troy.
"Then tell me, who was in the room?"
"Jenna, Gina, Xavier, Roxanne, you and me."
"Now who had their arm around her?"
"I did."
"Now who did everyone look at when Roxanne admitted that she liked someone in that room?"
"Me, they were looking at me."
"Finally you get it, she does like you. We have known this from day one. And we have like three days until camp is over. You better tell her you like her. Then maybe when you September seventh rolls around, you and Roxanne will be a couple. And the first athletic couple in East High." Said Chad.
"True, I guess you are right. I will tell Roxanne at the dance tomorrow night."
"Good, you have made me happy and you have made your life and Roxanne's a lot better." Said Chad as he walked outside.

In the Cabin three, Roxanne was going through her bags.
" Jenna have you seen my curling iron?" Asked Roxanne with a trace of panic in her voice.
"Yeah, remember when you lent to me, and I am totally sorry I never returned it to you." Said Jenna.
Then Jenna goes into her locker and pulls out Roxanne's curling iron.
"Here you go." Said Jenna.
"Thanks I thought I was going to lose my mind." Then Roxanne pulled out a small box that had a silver bow on it out of her bag. "You know I haven't opened the present you and the basket ball team gave me." Said Roxanne holding the present like it would break if you looked at it the wrong way.
"Then open it." Said Jenna.
Roxanne opened the box and put the lid on her bed. She pulled out a necklace. It was silver and it had a small diamond flower.
"Jenna oh my god, it is beautiful."
"I guess you like it."
"Yeah, I am gonna wear it to the dance."
"That is good to hear, anyway how are you doing your hair for the dance?"
"You'll have to wait and see."
