Camping Fun
Disclaimer: I do not own Johnny Test
So this chapter took a long time for me to do, if you all can't tell. Also, I believe I will only be able to update once a week from now on because the classes I'm taking this quarter are heavily reading based.
FYI, the relationship starts in this chapter, but not at the beginning. You'll see :).
Hope you like it.
Enjoy!
Sunday, Day 0
Sissy walked to the high school. It was five, just after she had eaten dinner, and the school made sure to announce that all students that would be going on the camping trip would stay at the school the night before they left. Sissy walked into the school to be surrounded by other teenagers and quickly scanned for her friends, finding them almost instantly and rushing over to them.
"It sucks that we have to stay at the school, but at least we'll be outta here tomorrow." Cally giggled. The school was well supplied with movies, snacks and video games to keep the teenagers entertained for about six hours.
"Lights out! Girls to the left gym, boys to the right gym." The teachers shouted. The teens groaned but went to their respective gyms and quietly chattered. Sissy made sure to avoid Janet at all costs. Sissy curled into her sleeping bag and went to sleep around one in the morning, along with most of the other girls in the gym.
Monday, 5 a.m. Day 1
The bus was loaded full of drowsy teenagers as the sun started to stain the sky brilliant shades of pink and orange. Sissy was trying to keep her eyes open.
"It'll be a three hour drive from here to Camp Tumbleweed. You may sleep on the way there or you can watch as the scenery passes by." One of the chaperones said. The teenagers stopped listening after the word 'sleep' and quickly fell asleep, leaning against each other as the bus rolled out.
2 ½ hours later
"Sissy, wake up, we're almost there." Leslie said as she shook Sissy awake. Sissy's eyes fluttered open and she blinked a few times before they adjusted to the light. She looked out the window and saw the forest.
"Cool." Sissy said smiling. They reached the camp ahead of schedule and were herded towards the main hall.
"Welcome to Camp Tumbleweed. Now, today you will be getting your cabins and we will go over the safety protocols and the activities you'll be doing for the next thirteen days." The camp coordinator said loudly and clearly. After about two hours of rules, guidelines, and a brief history of the camp before going outside into the warm May air.
"Alright kids, now pick three people to bunk with and I'll assign your cabin." The coordinator said. One of the teachers leaned over and whispered into the coordinators ear.
"Oh, right, ok, I'll keep that under consideration." The coordinator said as the teenagers grouped up. Sissy, Leslie, Beth and Cally walked over to get their cabin.
"You're cabin twelve." The coordinator said as he handed them the keys to their cabin.
"Keep these around your wrist at all times." The coordinator said before they walked off to their cabin.
"This is a cabin? It's more like a two story house!" Leslie exclaimed as they walked inside. It had a small living room and bathroom with a shower/bath and then they went upstairs they saw the four twin beds and the four small dressers. They went back to the small living room and lounged on the couch.
"They said they'd do an announcement when the posted the schedule right?" Sissy asked.
"No, for dinner. The announcement for our activities will be announced in the morning at breakfast, which according to this board that I just found, is at seven." Leslie said.
"Well, at least I get to sleep in an extra thirty minutes." Sissy giggled before a light knock sounded at the door. Sissy walked over and opened the door to Johnny and his friends.
"I think there's a pattern here." Johnny said sarcastically.
"Why do you say that?" Sissy asked, side stepping and letting him and his friends in.
"Ok, you got cabin twelve, we got cabin twelve, Janet and her friends got cabin three, Bumper and his friends got cabin three." Johnny said.
"Coincidence." Sissy said shrugging.
"Maybe." Johnny chuckled, flopping on the couch.
"By the way, this is not a cabin, this is a house." Beth snickered.
"I know right?" Bo laughed.
"Let's go walk around, I'm bored." Chad chuckled.
"Sure why not?" Johnny said, looking towards the girls.
"Let's go girls." Sissy said, seeing all of them jump up and head for the door.
"Come on, let's go explore around the camp." Beth said as they walked out the door, the boys following.
Day 2
Johnny yawned widely as he walked from his cabin to the mess hall with his friends. They got in line for breakfast, which actually looked eatable compared to the slop at school. Once they took their seats with the girls and started to eat, the coordinator walked up and flicked on the microphone.
"Alright kids, today we're going hiking on the mountain trail for the next two days." The coordinator said.
"Pro-quo, I will be partnering you up with someone of opposite sex." The coordinator said. Some of the students smirked.
"Don't think that this is an opportunity to go off in the woods and have sex. The animals that live out here can smell it and will go towards it. So if you want to risk a bear attack go right ahead. Also, there will be checkpoint you will be required to check in at, at certain times. And the check points are only five minutes away from each other if you know where you're going and what you're looking for." The coordinator said, seeing half the students drop the smiles and actually pay attention.
"Seriously, how can some people even focus on getting laid this early in the fucking morning?" Sissy grumbled. The coordinator went in alphabetical order, pairing up people from opposite ends of the alphabet. Since the lowest letter in the group was 'w', it didn't surprise Sissy too much when she was paired up with Johnny.
"Luck." Johnny chuckled as he walked over to Sissy, earning jealous stares from most of the guys in the class.
"No kidding." Sissy snickered as she noticed the stares Johnny was getting. After everyone was paired up the coordinator handed the pairs a map and an entrance number to go to once they finished eating their breakfast, got dressed, and packed up the necessities – water, something to eat, extra clothing for weather changes – they would need for the day. Sissy walked over to where she was meeting up with Johnny at the entrance where three other pairs were. Johnny was leaning idly against a tree; his black flat-bill cap with the toxic symbol on the front covered his eyes as his head tilted down.
"Johnny, you better be awake." Sissy said snapping her fingers in front of his face. His hand shot up and grabbed her wrist.
"I am." Johnny chuckled, looking up. She was wearing a yellow tank-top that did justice to her curves and showed her beautiful porcelain skin on her arms and the visible parts of her chest, and bright blue jeans with black skate shoes on, and on top of her head was a gray army cap with red lightning bolts on it.
"Since when did you wear hats?" Johnny asked, poking the bill with his index finger.
"I don't want to get ticks." Sissy said, rolling her eyes as they started walking into the forest. Johnny looked to the map as they continued walking.
"We should go this way." Johnny said as he pointed his body to the left. Sissy looked at the map and cocked an eyebrow.
"No, I think it's right." Sissy said, pointing to the right.
"Don't be silly Sissy, we go left." Johnny chuckled as he started walking to the left. Sissy grabbed his arm.
"No, we're going right." Sissy said as she dragged him to the right. After about ten minutes of arguing they stopped and Sissy pulled out the directions.
"What are those?" Johnny asked.
"The directions that they gave me when they gave me the map." Sissy said as she read the directions.
"How could they know which way to go?" Johnny asked annoyed.
"Johnny, they've mapped out this place, I'm pretty sure they know how to get to their own camp." Sissy said sarcastically.
"See, we do go right." Sissy said pointing to the directions. Johnny rolled his eyes and followed Sissy before she stopped and started to laugh.
"What is so funny?" Johnny asked.
"I can't believe that just happened." Sissy laughed, clutching her sides.
"What?" Johnny asked confused.
"We just had the typical travel argument about directions." Sissy laughed. Johnny started laughing along with her as they walked to the check point.
"Hmm, this is a medical center too." Johnny said as he looked around as the map received a stamp.
"Kind of important goofball." Sissy said as they walked out of the building right to an out looking cliff. They stopped and stared.
"This is so cool." Johnny said excitedly before he felt a death grip on his arm. He looked to his left to see Sissy gripping his arm, her eyes wide.
"Oh don't tell me you're afraid of heights?" Johnny said jokingly.
"Petrified." Sissy said quietly. Johnny stopped smiling and they walked down the trail slowly, Johnny on the outside closest to the cliff. They rounded a turn in time to see an eagle swoop down and grab a mouse. Sissy and Johnny stopped and stared in awe as the eagle flew off with its prey.
"That was awesome!" Johnny said. Sissy nodded and they continued their hiking.
7 hours later
The sun was starting to set at Camp Tumbleweed as Johnny and Sissy finally returned from the walk.
"And to think, we get to do it all over again tomorrow, only on a different trail." Johnny said sarcastically before gulping down the rest of the water in his water bottle.
"Yay!" Sissy replied just as sarcastically before they went to the mess hall for dinner. They were served a big bowl of spaghetti with garlic bread and milk. They ate and talked intermittently as their friends entered, just as tired and sweaty as they were.
"That was one hell of a workout!" Cally exclaimed before taking a fork-full of spaghetti in her mouth.
"No shit." Sissy chuckled.
"Attention campers, please go to one of the five fire pits." A voice said over the intercom. The campers finished eating and then headed to one of the fire pits. One of the counselors was there and waited till they all took their seats.
"So, you will be with the same partner tomorrow and you get to choose one other set of partner's to go with so you can be a group of four. You will also get a new path that neither pair has traveled." The counselor said. Sissy looked to Cally and Chad who were partnered up and smiled, Cally nodded and smiled. Sissy looked up to the sky and her eye widened. Johnny noticed her awed expression and looked up only to mimic her expression of awe.
"That's a lot of stars." Sissy said still looking up at the millions of twinkling lights.
"Yeah." Johnny said awestruck. The group around the fire all lay down and looked at the stars until the camp coordinator called for lights out at eleven. The teens all went to their respective cabins and changed. The moment Sissy's head hit the pillow she was out like a light.
Day 3
Sissy, Johnny, Cally and Chad all walked through the thick bushes of the forest.
"Leave to the coordinator to give us one of the hardest trails." Cally growled annoyed as she kicked through the thick bushes. When they finally got to a clearing a rattle rang through. All the teenagers stopped and listened to the lightly blowing wind before Johnny looked at the map and directions again.
"Ok, so we need to go this way." Johnny said pointing to his left. Sissy started walking towards the direction Johnny pointed. The rattle went off again, only more viciously than before and before Sissy could stop a deep pain shot up her leg. Johnny, Chad and Cally all rushed over to see a five foot long rattle snake latched onto Sissy's left leg and Sissy trying very hard not to move or even scream, only letting out whimpers of fear and pain. Without hesitation Johnny pulled out his five inch dagger and stabbed the snake, not lethally, just enough to make it let go before Johnny grabbed it and chucked it into the air. As if it was timed a hawk flew down and snatched the snake in midair. Sissy was still trying to stay calm as Johnny pulled up her pants leg to reveal the two puncture wounds. Johnny said nothing as he quickly sliced the dagger across Sissy's skin, just enough to draw blood, not enough to scar. Before Sissy could say anything Johnny leaned down and started sucking on her bleeding leg before spitting out the blood to the side and repeating the process for ten long minutes.
"Cally, I need your scarf." Johnny said as he wiped the blood from his mouth. Cally handed Johnny her scarf and Johnny tied it tightly above where the puncture wounds were before picking up Sissy and carrying her the ten minutes or so to the next check in. Medical staff saw Sissy, saw the blood and puncture wounds and the small cut and immediately took her back.
"What happened?" one of the staff asked Johnny.
"She was bit by a rattle snake. Do you have anti-venom?" Johnny asked as he set Sissy down on the cot.
"Yes." The staff member said before rushing off only to quickly return with a large needle filled with clear fluid.
"This will hurt." The medic said. Sissy nodded and then looked away as they stuck the needle into her vein, emptying the clear fluid in. As one medic injected her another cleaned and wrapped the wounds on her leg.
"She'll be a little groggy so you may have to help her out a little." The medic said to Johnny. Johnny nodded and helped Sissy up before she almost collapsed again. Johnny rolled his eyes and picked her up, smirking at how light she was. Sissy rested her head on his shoulder as they left.
"I owe you don't I?" Sissy said tiredly.
"Eh, kinda, but don't worry about it." Johnny chuckled. The four teens talked idly as they walked through the forest. Sissy felt her eyelids grow heavy and soon fell asleep in Johnny's arms. Cally looked over and giggled quietly.
"What?" Johnny asked confused.
"Johnny, look down." Cally giggled. Johnny looked down and stared at Sissy as she slept peacefully in his arms.
"Well, the medic did say she'd be groggy." Johnny said. How is it someone who is the farthest from delicate can look so delicate? She looks like an angel. Peaceful. Damn it, what is she doing to me? Johnny sighed quietly as his thoughts drifted off.
2 hours later
Sissy woke up and found she was still in Johnny's arms and then she blushed realizing she had fallen asleep.
"Sorry." Sissy said, making the group jump.
"She awakens!" Cally snickered.
"Oh shut up!" Sissy hissed. Johnny set Sissy down, only holding her shoulders to make sure she was stable.
"Have a nice nap?" Johnny asked sarcastically.
"Yes. Sorry again." Sissy said blushing.
"Don't worry about it, you're light." Johnny chuckled before he and Chad started walking. Sissy stretched a little before her and Cally caught up with the boys.
"So what did I miss?" Sissy asked.
"Not much. We're almost half way done." Cally said.
"Cool." Sissy said before she looked at Johnny and blushed again.
"Why so blushy?" Cally giggled.
"You know why Cally." Sissy growled, playfully punching her arm, making Cally laugh more. The boys looked back at the giggling girls and rolled their eyes.
"Girls, it'll take a miracle for us to understand them." Chad laughed.
"Amen!" Johnny agreed.
Day 4
"Ok campers, today is a water activity day. So have fun in the lake!" the coordinator said. Sissy smiled along with her friends at breakfast.
"After we eat we should go change." Cally giggled.
"Agreed." Beth said smiling. After they finished eating they went back to their cabin and changed into their bathing suits, though they knew it wouldn't be till later on for the water to be warm enough, they wanted to save the hassle and time.
Noon
Beth tested the water with her foot, only jumping slightly at the cool water compared to the ninety degree heat wave they were experiencing.
"Clear!" Beth shouted before the mob ran towards the water, splashing it as they ran in. Sissy laughed at the group of people before Tia came up behind her and yanked at her shirt, making Sissy scream in shock.
"Tia! Stop it!" Sissy said as she jumped back.
"Come on girl, let's go swimming, I'm dying!" Tia exclaimed as she stood there in her blue one piece, though it could've been mistaken as a two piece.
"I know you're wearing a bikini, so just peel off the cover clothes and get in the water, it'll be nice." Leslie chided, catching several boys attention. Sissy rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.
"Come on Sissy." Cally urged. Sissy gave up when her friends started to beg, and peeled off her red tank top, revealing her milky midriff and an overly generous view of her voluptuous cleavage. Luckily, her bikini wasn't a string bikini, the fabric actually covered her breasts a good two thirds of it and the ties were wide strip not tiny little strings, same goes for the bottoms she showed her long lithe legs and wide hips all narrowing seamlessly at her waist. Johnny felt his jaw go slack, luckily not open.
"Damn girl!" Tia exclaimed.
"Oh shut up." Sissy said, cocking her hip only adding to her attractiveness. The girls finally got in the water all of them going tentatively except Sissy.
"Are you crazy?" Leslie asked, inching in more. Sissy plunged into the water, vanishing under its surface.
"Sissy? This better not be some trick!" Beth shouted. Sissy gently emerged from under the water's surface next to Johnny.
"Hey." Sissy snickered.
"Damn you can hold your breath." Johnny said, trying not to ogle at her amazing body up close.
"I know." Sissy said smiling. The others finally made it over only to be splashed by Sissy.
"Not cool." Renee said, wiping her eyes from the water.
"The coordinator said to have fun. This is fun, for me." Sissy giggled before diving under the water again.
"What is she, a fish?" Tia exclaimed as they started swimming around for her. Johnny and the others started to help but before anyone could react Johnny was grabbed by Bumper and dunked under the water. Sissy popped out of the water to see Bumper's goons and Bumper all holding Johnny under the water and the splashing Johnny was doing and quickly swam over just as the splashing stopped. Sissy wasn't calm as everyone else was because Bumper was still holding Johnny under the water.
"Oh, did the baby give…" Bumper began before feeling a hard kick to the groin, causing him to release an unconscious, drowning Johnny and double over in pain.
"Fucking psycho path, you're killing him idiot." Sissy shouted before punching him in the ribs and then wiggling around him over to Johnny, who was face down in the water. She flipped him over and pulled him out of the water and placed her hand over his open mouth. No breathing. She plugged his nose and leaned down, pressing her lips to his cold lips and blowing air into his water filled lungs before pushing on his chest. She did this several more times before Johnny bolted upright, water spluttering from his mouth as he inhaled and coughed.
"What the fuck just happened?" Johnny choked before noticing Sissy sitting next to him.
"Dude, Sissy just saved your life." Jace said.
"Bumper thought it would be funny to drown you." Chad explained briefly.
"Sissy snuck up behind him and kicked him in the nuts before pulling you ashore and giving you mouth to mouth." Cally further explained. Johnny looked back to Sissy who was smiling.
"What, I owed you one for yesterday." Sissy giggled before playfully punching his arm. Johnny grabbed her arm and pulled her into a hug.
"Thanks Sissy." Johnny said.
"There are two reasons you're hugging me. One, sincerity. Two, to make every other guy jealous." Sissy said smiling as her arms wrapped around him loosely.
"Precisely." Johnny chuckled before they released each other.
"Come on guys, let's get back in the water, it's hot out here." Tia said as she turned and walked back towards the water. Oh you have no idea Tia. Sissy thought smiling as they went back to the water.
Day 5
It was noon and the campers were lined up on the docks waiting for the coordinator. Sissy saw the canoes and had a good guess as to what today's activity was.
"Ok campers, guess what we're doing today?" the coordinator said loudly as they walked up the dock.
"Canoeing?" Sissy said.
"Correct. So, you remember your partner for the hike, you'll be paired up with them in today's canoe races." The coordinator said. Half the teens groaned in annoyance while the other half smiled eager to go.
"Ok, so who's sitting in back and who's sitting in front?" Sissy asked Johnny.
"You have a better sense of direction and are more agile, and I have more physical upper body strength than you." Johnny said.
"So you're in back providing the power and I'll sit in front providing the direction." Sissy said.
"Yup." Johnny said before they started walking over to their canoe and getting their life vests on and their ores ready. Now all they had to do was wait for the other pairs to stop arguing over who sits in front and who sits in back.
"We're going to be here a while." Sissy said sarcastically. Johnny nodded as they sat in the canoe for the next twenty minutes. When everyone was finally ready to go they paddled to the starting line and waited for the whistle. Once the whistle was blown the campers took off. Sissy steered the canoe effortlessly and dodged most of what the other campers kept getting stuck on, such as logs, rocks, or an opposing current. They rounded a corner and almost collided with Janet and Bumper who glared at them viciously.
"What are you looking at losers?" Janet asked angrily as they tried to get off the log they were stuck on. Sissy snickered as they paddled by them.
"Two idiots stuck on a log." Sissy giggled before she effortlessly angled around the small obstacles. Sissy smiled as they neared the finish line.
"How long have we been paddling?" Johnny asked as they started to just drift with the current, seeing as no one was anywhere near them.
"About an hour or so." Sissy said shrugging.
"You forgot sunscreen." Johnny said poking Sissy's burnt skin, making her wince.
"Ouch. Stop it!" Sissy growled.
"Just pointing it out." Johnny said shrugging as they crossed the finish line.
"Excellent you two, well, since your done with today's activity you're free for the rest of the day." The coordinator said smiling. Sissy and Johnny put the canoe back where the coordinator told them too and went to Sissy's cabin where the burn could be seen for how bad it really was.
"Ow." Sissy said as she wiggled uncomfortably.
"Do you have any after-burn stuff?" Johnny asked.
"There should be some in the bathroom." Sissy said as Johnny stood and walked to the bathroom, returning a few minutes later with the bottle filled with blue gel. He squeezed some on his hands and after asking her to pull her hair to the side he gently rubbed it on her shoulders. Sissy let out a startled gasp at the feeling of the cooling gel on her burned skin before letting out a coo of delight as it began to sink in and work.
"Thanks." Sissy said.
"No problem." Johnny said smiling.
Day 6
The sun was high noon, the heat beating down on all the campers as they ate their lunches. Sissy was eating an apple as her friends went to get their food. Just as she started to take a big bite of the apple and chew it someone snuck up behind her, scaring her and causing her to start choking.
"Ha, you deserve it you little bitch." Janet laughed before noticing Sissy's lack on breathing and her face growing red. Janet panicked and fled only to draw Johnny's attention to the situation. He rushed over to Sissy and out of pure instinct started to give her the Heimlich maneuver. After three times the chunk of apple finally dislodged from her throat and Sissy inhaled deeply, shaking from the scare.
"Are you ok?" Johnny asked, still holding her up. Sissy shook her head and hid in Johnny's chest, she didn't know why she felt better hiding in his chest.
"Where's Janet?" Sissy hissed five minutes later.
"Over with her friends." Johnny said, letting out his own breath of relief before Sissy untangled herself from his grasp and stomped over to Janet.
"Are you fucking crazy? I almost died because of your stupid antics you stupid slut!" Sissy yelled before slapping Janet hard enough to make her spin off kilter. Janet for once didn't have a comeback or a counterattack she just sat there, shocked and in awe before Sissy turned on her heel and walked back over to her table where her friends were.
"For once, the bitch is speechless." Chad said shocked.
"I'm shocked." Jace said smirking.
"I think her seeing my face turn red and realizing she almost killed me scared her shitless." Sissy said quietly.
"Let's just hope the rest of the day isn't as frantic." Renee said as everyone nodded in agreement.
Day 7
Sissy woke up groggy that morning. She was still shaken up from the preceding day but she had just a week left away from school and wasn't going to waste it. Her friends finally woke up, got dressed and joined her down in the small living room before leaving the cabin for the mess hall where the activity would be announced at breakfast. As they ate the waffles that were served for breakfast and talked idly Sissy was eager to start the activity. She needed a distraction from yesterday.
"Ok campers, listen up, today you will be learning and participating in archery." The coordinator said. It was silent, but both Sissy and Johnny were smiling widely.
"So, once you've finished eating meet back here in an hour and then I will take you to the archery range." The coordinator said before getting off the stage.
"I love archery!" Sissy said happily, making Johnny smile. Compared to yesterday and seeing her upset, it's nice to see her smiling and eager to do something, especially since she's great at archery. Johnny thought, remembering all the times Sissy would come over and play William Tell archery, always using him as the target. After they ate and went back to their cabins for the remaining hour before going back to the mess hall and meeting up with the coordinator before he took them to the range, where a large assortment of bows and the matching arrows. The coordinator went over how to draw back the string and all the other safety precautions before allowing them to choose their bow. Sissy picked up a longbow, her favorite, and carefully put the string in its place. Sissy looked over and saw Johnny setting up his bow as well. Once everyone finally managed to get their bows strung, which took about an hour for some people, the coordinator demonstrated how to set the arrow and draw back the bow.
"So, like this?" Sissy asked placing the arrow correctly, drawing back the string perfectly and releasing the arrow, landing a dead bull's-eye. The coordinators jaw dropped, along with almost everyone else.
"Or like this?" Johnny asked, performing the exact same fluid motions as Sissy had. A moment of silence passed before the silence was broken.
"Yes, exactly like that." The coordinator said, before letting the teens loose, keeping a close eye on them.
That evening
Sissy smiled brightly as she watched the sun set that evening.
"Today was fun." Sissy whispered to herself silently. She was eager for the next day's events, leaving yesterday behind and moving forward.
Day 8
"Alright campers today you will be running an obstacle course with your cabin mates." The coordinator said as slips of paper were passed around the mess hall. Once they finished breakfast they all went to the start of the obstacle course and were eventually pitted against another cabin. Sissy and her friends were put against Janet and her friends.
"This'll be too easy." Cally snorted.
"Yeah, just like them." Beth snickered, getting an angry glare from the girls in return.
2 hours later
Sissy was getting anxious and restless. She wanted to do the course already but the waiting was killing her, and the heat wasn't helping much either. They stepped up to the starting line. Finally! Sissy thought happily. Ten minutes passed before the whistle blew, sending them on their way. First was the wall climb which Sissy and her friends conquered easily until they got to the top, seeing a zip line. Sissy hated heights but knew that she would be strapped in and safe, and continued on, getting to the rope swinging and the pedestal jump. They stopped on their pedestals, secured to cables of course, and looked back to see their opponents just now getting to the zip line. Sissy giggled before they took off again, getting to the log swing and soon after water rock jump across the stream that had set up and then the finish line.
"Nice time, it only took you guys thirty minutes to do that whole course, you can either do it again or have the rest of the day to yourselves." The camp counselor said at the finish line.
"We'll just enjoy the rest of our day." Beth said as they walked back to the camp, a little tired but happy.
"Let's just sun bathe for a while." Leslie suggested, earning nods of approval from her friends as they headed back to the cabin to change before going down to the water front, lay down their towels and then lay down themselves.
Johnny and his friends had finished the course in forty minutes, not as fast as the girls but still they beat their opponents and decided to go down to the water. Just as they finished changing and arrived Johnny's mouth went dry. Damn hormones. Johnny thought angrily as he couldn't help himself from ogling Sissy's body as the sun shimmered off her porcelain skin. Bo walked over to Beth, smiling widely.
"Hey babe." Bo said as he sat down next to her.
"Hey, you guys finish the course?" Beth asked.
"Yup. We beat Bumper and his group." Bo chuckled.
"Nice." Beth said smiling up at her boyfriend. Sissy looked up at Johnny, who was standing five feet away, and smiled at him.
"I don't bite Johnny." Sissy said sarcastically. Johnny rolled his eyes but walked over and sat down on her towel.
"Only five days left." Sissy said.
"I thought there were six?" Johnny said confused.
"No, today doesn't count since it started already." Sissy said.
"Ok, point." Johnny said before silence fell over them. A light breeze passed through the camp, carrying the scent of the wild flowers that surrounded the camp grounds. Sissy let out a light hearted sigh and smiled gently, and unknown to her Johnny was staring at her overall beauty. When she smiled like that everything in comparison seems to fade. Johnny thought before realizing it. Ok, that settles it; I need to ask Sissy out. Johnny thought smiling.
Day 9
The teens were once again put with their partner and sent on a wild life spotting expedition, with a given list of animals and allowed to have up to six other people with them. As Sissy, Johnny, and their group of friends traipsed through the woods they checked off what they had found so far, which was an eagle and a hawk.
"We've been walking for at least two hours and have only spotted two animals. I'm honestly surprised that we haven't seen a squirrel yet." Chad said annoyed.
"Patience." Cally snickered. Chad grumbled inaudible as they continued walking through the forest. Sissy stopped dead in her tracks, causing everyone else to stop.
"Why did we…" Jace started before Leslie slapped her hand over his mouth and pointed to what had Sissy and Johnny wide eyed. Thirty feet away from them was a mother black bear and her two cubs. Everyone held perfectly still as the mother bear looked up and tilted her head at the group of teenagers. The teenagers quietly sat down and remained silent as the bear observed them. The cubs looked up and took a few bounds over, getting within fifteen feet of the teenagers, who remained perfectly still. They didn't make any motion towards the cubs, fearing they would provoke the mother. The cubs lost interest and went back to their mother and soon enough went on their way. The group waited until the bears were out of sight before letting out the breath they were all holding.
"Holy shit. Mark that down and circle where." Bo said. Sissy quickly did so and they continued on, being very cautious and alert of their surroundings. Another hour passed and they had spotted a few more animals, identified some plants and rock formations.
"Ugh, it's already three and we have just one or two more animals left. A coyote and a wolf." Beth said tiredly.
"Let's take a break." Johnny suggested getting nods of agreement from the group. Thirty minutes passed before the teenagers started walking again.
"Isn't this how most horror movies start out?" Chad asked making all the girls freeze on the spot.
"Yup." Jace said in a bored tone.
"Chad, you're an asshole." Sissy growled as the girls clasped onto the boy next to them. Chad started laughing once he realized what he had done.
"Oh come on, it's not even dark yet." Chad laughed. Cally smacked him as they entered a meadow. Just as they entered the sound of running thundered through the opposite side of where they were and was getting closer, barking and panting told them it was canines, but it wasn't until they came into sight that they knew what the sound was. A pack of at least fifteen wolves stormed through the trees, stopping the teenagers dead in their tracks. The wolves eyed the teens briefly before turning and taking off again, leaving the teens stunned.
"I'm marking it down." Sissy said before Bo could even speak.
"That was epic!" Leslie exclaimed before a loud howl rang out.
"No, that was epic!" Johnny said smiling. Sissy rolled her eyes before they started walking back. Just before they got to the camp a coyote ran in front of them. Sissy quickly marked it down and then they finally returned to camp in enough time to have dinner and relax before going to bed. Sissy lay in her bed that night, the half-moon shining through the window, smiling as she looked to the sky. And just before sleep took her she heard the howling of a wolf off in the distance.
Day 10
The moon was high in the dark eight o clock sky; the stars shimmered bright as the campers and coordinators sat around the multiple fire pits on the sight. Something about the whole situation made Johnny's stomach tighten up with anxiousness. Sissy was sitting next to him, the red-orange glow flickering across her skin and dancing in her blue eyes. Johnny stood and stretched, catching Sissy's attention.
"Walk with me?" Johnny asked. Sissy nodded and they started to walk a little ways before Johnny could feel his heart pounding a mile a minute. Well, it's now or never. Johnny thought seeing as how they had managed to get some privacy. Somehow they wound up at the dock and sat on the edge, their legs crossed instead of hanging over the edge. Johnny took a deep breath.
"Sissy, I think I like you more than a friend and was wondering if maybe when we get back to town if you'd wanna go on a date?" Johnny asked as calmly as he could. Johnny was still trying to figure out why things were so different with Sissy. Sissy looked over to him smiling shyly.
"I feel the same way. Yes, I would like that." Sissy said quietly before resting her head on his shoulder. Johnny's eyes flicked down to her content face; he couldn't help himself as he gently brought his hand up to cup her face and brought her to a chaste kiss. He felt her lips curl into a smile as she returned the kiss before they broke apart smiling.
"We should get back to the group before they get worried." Sissy said. Johnny nodded and stood, holding his hand out to her. Sissy took his hand and they walked back to the fire pit, holding hands and smiling.
Day 11
The coordinator had split up the boys and the girls, not telling them why until they were completely separate.
"So, are you all wondering why we have separated you?" the coordinator asked as the teens nodded.
"Well, we're going to play capture the flag. Boys versus girls." The coordinator chuckled. He handed the girls a red flag, making them the red team, and the boys a blue flag, making them the blue team.
"Who will be the team captains?" Janet asked smugly.
"Sissy will be captain of the red team while Johnny is captain of the blue team." The coordinator said.
"What! Why?" Janet protested.
"Sissy and her group of friends were the fastest girls to complete the obstacle course. Obviously they have better athletics than you and your friends. So, does that explain why?" the coordinator said. Janet huffed and stomped off. The coordinator blew the whistle, giving the teams thirty minutes to hide their flag. The team gathered and came up with a plan; hide the flag in a tree. The boys decided to hide their flag in a bush. Sissy climbed up a tree until reaching its middle and found a spot to hide it, where the only way their opponents could see it was if they were right under the tree.
"Janet and cabin friends you stay near the tree." Sissy said.
"What makes you think we will listen to you?" Janet snarled. Before she could react Sissy grabbed her arm and twisted it back at an awkward angle while pinching a pressure point on her arm, making Janet fall to her knees in pain.
"Ok, ok, I give." Janet whimpered before Sissy released her. Janet and her cabin buddies stayed there, not really watching for anyone, as the others left to meet up at the border lines. Once there the coordinator pulled out his flare gun, starting the game. The teams darted past each other, while trying to hinder each other all at once. Once the dust had settled, the area was clear, only the shuffles of feet filled the air. No one, not even the red team, knew that Sissy and her friends had taken to the trees, jumping from tree to tree, managing to duck out of sight for most of the way there and stay out of combat. Johnny and his friends also were stealthy, but they remained on the ground as they made their way through the woods.
Johnny and his friends were ambushed once by a group of girls who pushed them back almost half the distance before other blue team boys came and backed them up. One of the girls ran and told Janet to hide so the boys wouldn't know where the flag was. Janet almost refused but decided to agree.
Sissy and her group of friends were fairing much better than Johnny, not being stopped once. And since they hadn't been seen, no one could warn the boys guarding the flag of the girls approach. Leslie jumped down as bait and the boys took it, chasing her off, but there were still two more there. Cally jumped down, ran around once and then came into sigh, drawing one boy away, leaving only one. Beth then jumped down and walked over, making it look like she stumbled upon it, only to be chased off by the last boy, leaving Sissy to have a little time to find the flag. She combed through the tall bush and eventually found the blue flag, climbing back into the tree and sending out a bird call that her friends recognized as their cue to get back into the tree. The boys heard this and something told Johnny that they had been deceived. They began to rush back to the base until they saw a shadow pass over them. Looking up, Chad saw that it was Sissy and that she was holding onto the blue flag.
"Sissy has the flag." Chad said to Johnny.
"How do you know that?" Johnny asked, cocking an eyebrow.
"I just saw her jumping through the trees with it." Chad said as he pointed her direction.
"The trees. Fuck!" Johnny growled turning back around towards the girls' base.
"Johnny, what's up?" Bo said as he kept pace with his friend.
"Don't you get it? They hid their flag in the tree. I don't know which one, but if we go the direction they go, and beat them there, then we should get the flag." Johnny said as he ran.
"Johnny, by the time we get there we'll be too late." Jace said before Leslie, Beth and Cally all jumped down from the trees and stood in front of them.
"Well, Johnny, you are right about where our flag is hidden, but if you can get past us, you won't make it in time." Leslie giggled.
"There are three of you and four of us." Chad pointed out. Renee and Tia hopped down from the trees.
"I should've known." Jace hissed until suddenly a flare went off.
"Red team is the winner." The coordinator's voice sounded over the megaphone.
"Damn. Gotta hand it to Sissy though, she's great at strategy." Chad chuckled.
"No kidding." Johnny laughed as they made their way back to the coordinator and eventually back to the camp. They hadn't realized how late it had gotten since they were in the shady forest, seeing how the sun was setting already. Sissy walked up behind Johnny and grabbed his hand as they went to the mess hall for dinner.
Day 12
The coordinator had announced at breakfast that for the remaining days at camp there would be no more events and that the teenagers were free to a multitude of activities. Eventually they found the game room, which was well supplied on video games and other sorts of games.
"No wonder they didn't want us to know about this, half the kids would've skipped on the events just to be here." Chad chuckled.
"No kidding." Robby replied as he made his shot on the pool table. Sissy and her friends were playing on the XBOX that was available to them. The day was peaceful, none of their mutual enemies felt like picking a fight with them, but something told them that it would change once they got back to school. It had spread like wildfire that Johnny and Sissy were dating now, and with that now known to every sophomore that was present – which was most of them – soon Porkbelly High would know about it. Not that it really concerned the two teens; they just didn't want to deal with all the slack they'd get from the remaining three classes. They played their games until it was time for lights out. Johnny walked with Sissy to her cabin before kissing her goodnight and retreating back to his own cabin.
Day 13
The coordinator asked them to write down some things they remembered that stuck out in their minds, telling them that they had the whole day to do so. All that time however was unneeded for Sissy; she had her list down in ten minutes as her friends sat there in their cabin trying to figure out their memories. Sissy lay on the couch bored.
"How did you get all yours done already?" Cally asked annoyed.
"Simple, I picked significant events." Sissy replied.
"Such as?" Beth asked.
"The snake bite I got on the nature walk. When I saved Johnny's life, and again when he saved mine. Archery day, when it might as well have been an all-out war between Johnny and me. When we saw those bears, the pack of wolves and the coyotes along with the other things. When Johnny asked me out. Capture the flag. The fun stuff." Sissy replied.
"Hmm, most of those memories involve Johnny." Leslie snickered.
"I'm aware of that, but they also involve my friends." Sissy said smiling. That seemed to help her friends drastically because soon enough they too finished their lists of memories and began to share them with each other.
Day 14
"Well campers, today is our last day. The bus will be here in one hour and you'll be off to home and then back to school tomorrow. I'm happy to say that none of you broke the rules too often, and those who did were punished accordingly. I excuse you all early as to go pack and get ready to leave for home." The coordinator said smiling. Sissy had already pack all her things that morning before she even went to breakfast and was eager to get home to her nice bed, her parents, her dog, and more importantly, her date with Johnny. As the teens all left the cafeteria, calm settled over them as they returned to their cabins to pack. While they all liked spending time with their friends, they despised being anywhere near their current enemies. Both Sissy and Johnny could definitely go without seeing Bumper or Janet for a while.
The hour passed quickly and soon the teens were boarding the buses to return home. Sissy and Johnny sat next to each other, holding hands innocently and talking casually as the bus engines growled to a start before finally going.
"Only two weeks left before summer break." Chad chuckled.
"And something tells me those two weeks will be crazy." Cally giggled. Deep down, Sissy knew Cally was right.
So, what did you think? This is currently my longest chapter, so if anyone wanted a long chapter, hope you liked it. R&R please. I'll update again in a week, I swear.
