Camp swan

Whistling winds

Thoughts crowded Clems mind , she was so overpowered by them she couldn't function as she starred at the table across from her, remembering everything She got told things a lot and She just brushed every single harsh attribute off and tried to Pretend it never happened but it was so painfully hard . Her heart heart was crumbling and It took every part of her beaten body to smilie through it. Sadness consumed her scarred body like a forest fire burning a gaping hole through the vail of her once shrouded mortality. She took it so far as to lie to her own worried mother to keep the people who harmed her safe .as Clementine stood before her each time ,each lie that tumbled out her mouth each falsehood that slipped past her lips in the hope of protecting the people that she mean nothing too ,but still mean so much to her , tore streaks of guilt into her naive body. She felt betrayed after She had done so much to change , a sharpened knife carving out the part of her that trusted, until all that remained was but a mangled fragment of pent up anger and trust issues  ,seeing those people that ruined her sitting across the hall from her , in the place she came to escape them,felt like she was drowning in a sea of her own emotions , deep but soon giant fists would rise and smash angrily like savages fighting the water beneath them, sadness crushed her like an angry tidal wave and she was drowned by its melancholy embrace,sadness was a prison she had lived in for the past six months and knew all too well, but she never knew how to escape. Her heart ached and her chest stung like needles where in her lungs and my throat closed up , Begging her not to scream .

She jolted back into reality when Alice shook her body whisper shouting her name . Clem was thankful to see Alice , when wasn't she ? Alice was an utter dream . ' Clem ... you've been staring at those people since you even noticed them ... do you know them . The elders entire body tensed up like a deer in headlights. Alice placed a warm hand on Clems ' we don't have to talk about it here just eat and we can talk about it outside ok dear?' Her fingers gently tan over the other girls hand in gentle circles, she knew what she was doing to the dirty blonde but she played dumb , like yesterday and most definitely like she would for the wrest of the summer .

When Alice sat down to eat she could sense the tension in Clementine, her hands where clenched up into balls and her eyes where fixed in a hard stare ,  judging by the way she was looking at them they had obviously done something wrong to the obviously scared girl , the best thing Alice could do right now was make sure she ate and get her away from those kids . she shook Clems shoulder  'Clem ... you've been staring at those people since you even noticed them..'

The pair left the mess hall quickly going back to their cabin , where Clem flopped onto the bed shoving her face into a pillow and screaming. Alice took a seat next to the girl letting her get it out of her system before gently placing a hand on her back rubbing small circles , the dirty blonde finally looked up apologetically ' sorry .' She whispered shuffling closer to the taller ' no no !' The taller girl said ' it's perfectly fine , but I do have an idea ...' she continued with a smirk ' what type of idea ?' Clem inquired raising a dark brown eyebrow at the beautiful girl in front of her. The blonde paused before going into great detail about her plan .

The two girls quickly rushed to the other cabin collecting the three other girls that where now in different clothing, Rosies what the most notable however. A bright Pokémon hoodie with a tennis skirt and thigh highs , clem liked it... but not as much as she liked the cunning but gorgeous girl next to her . The three girls instantly agreed to it. So they walked , they walked through the thick ever green forest as it got dark and Clem felt like her body was being slowly consumed by a deep shade of red as the butterflies in her stomach got bigger and more ferocious, 'what is the reason?' I hear you ask ... well the reason all lead back to that beautiful blonde holding onto Clem's pretty tanned and plaster filled hands , gently stroking the soft skin with her thumb soothing the smaller . Alice had apparently snuck out last night and bumped into that weird friend group , she claimed that she didn't like them upon sight due to the fact they where all 14 years old and getting drunk and vaping and with her most sincerest apologies she regretted to inform the girl who's hand she was holding onto that they where talking about her , harsh diatribes thrown around like it meant nothing. 'Honestly clem I wanted to kill them ...' she muttered quietly walking through the woods ' anyone who talks about my Clem like that should get an axe to the head .' She said seeming almost serious , Clem felt heat prick at her face 'my Clem' it rang through her mind ,every time causing the butterflies to get worse.

They soon arrived at a small clearing at the side of the path where a fire was lit and they could clearly see that group of people.Rosie was good at hacking and somehow by the first day had managed to be able to sneak her way into the speaker system allowing her to play whatever song she wanted . Clem ,of course , requested snap out of it by the artic monkeys . Soon the speakers came on and the song played, the four girls slipped their masks on as Rosie kept watch . Paint filled water balloons in plastic bags as Clem quickly scaled a tree with Alice on the opposing tree, estella and Hannah in bushes on the ground waiting. Clem was adventurous as a kid , she went camping every summer , all summer , she was thankful for it because it meant that she knew how to climb trees and rock faces , filter fresh water start fires and so much more . Clementine spent most of her childhood in trees , the ones at the campsite, the ones in school the ones at the local park. Some of her earliest memories are in trees , like sitting at the top of her aunties massive evergreen tree in her back garden at four and at a park where her dad used to go. Despite a large climbing frame nothing compared to the thrill of an even bigger tree in 5 year old Clems logic . The two girls beneath the trees ran out and pelted the friend group with paint balloons . The huge gaggle of drunk teens came running towards hannah and estella and that's when Clem and Alice dropped the hoard of paint balloons on top of them all with a loud ' SPLAT!' the entire toxic friend group was covered in green. They ran , they ran as fast as they could back to the cabin laughing all the way before finally getting inside with a gasp and a sigh as the girls flopped onto their beds and falling asleep .
