You and Montana load your baskets with everything from packets of crisps to beer bottles whilst the others waited patiently.

You and Montana were becoming really good friends.

"So, shall I-" Montana stopped talking mid conversation and stared out of the shop window confusedly.

It was Xavier.

He had gotten out of the car to reload it with gas but now he was on the payphone?

He looked confused.

"Hey Xav. You okay?" Montana leant in the shops doorway to see Xavier.

Xavier moved the phone away from his ear and put it back onto the stand.

That was when he noticed Montana.

He had a bewildered look on his face for a split second before turning into the usual charming smile that he usually wore.

"Oh, yeah," Xavier says, batting it off, "The PayPhone just started ringing. Don't worry though! It was just a prank call from someone."

"Oh, okay." Montana says, leaning back into the shop and holding up her basket.

"Ready to pay!" She grins.

You roll your eyes at her enthusiasm for such a little thing but proceed to the checkout with her beside you.

Just as you were about to take your goods and thank the shop attendant/repair guy, you were hit with a question from Montana.

"How long do you recon it'll be till we arrive." She says, picking up the beer bottles.

"Hmm, well, we've done about 3/4 of the journey so far so not long." You say, you were pretty good at maths.

"Where ya going, kids?" The man behind the counter asks curiously.

"Oh, Camp Redwood!" Montana answers in her  usual sing-song, energetic voice.

The mans face darkened.

"You are going to die in there." He said ominously, he looked scared.

You and Montana were a bit taken aback but in the end Montana gives a sarcastic comment:

"Nice."

Before the two of you exited the store and back towards the van.

As you climbed back into the van, you grabbed a beer bottle and opened it.

The others were having a conversation about the olympics, Chet clearly wasn't enjoying it.

"Hey!" Brooke says when she sees you, she had definitely regretted not getting out of the car and taking a breather.

You didn't blame her, the car smelt oddly musty.

"Okay guys," You begin as soon as the van gets back on the road— You didn't particularly want to talk about the Olympics—  "Why does everyone seem to hate Camp Redwood?"

"Yeah," Montana says, agreeing with you, "The man in the shop told us that we were going to die"

She chuckled at her impression of the man and so did the others.

"What a load of crap." Xavier says, making the whole group actually laugh.

"Oh look," Ray states, "We're here."

He was right, the van drove under the towering entrance with the name plastered in bright red:

Camp Redwood

"This is going to be fun!" Xavier exclaims positively , you totally agreed.
