It was the morning now ...around 4 am and the sun was rising . She sat there at the top of the tree as the golden light poured across her features . She cried, she couldn't stop . She had hurt the only person she had in this stupid camp. She found her mind drifting to when she first met the man she was soon to be married too ... the memories flooded in .
' excuse me.' Squeaked a girly high pitched voice 'would you mind if I was your friend?' A young Clem batted her eyes at her young future husband . He nodded and smiled 'my names Clementine Celeste !' She said excitedly .the pair exchanged names before beginning to run side by side in the PE lesson , happily racing against each other while laughing . Clementine was moved to his classes , those dim winter classes where filled with a little more light when he flashed his smile next to her . They became best friends, this escalated quickly. They exchanged numbers and text daily for hours on end , feelings of friendship turned into feelings of love and the school days where filled with secret hand holding, hugs from all angles , swapped coats , secret glances and horribly cringe flirting . Clementine physically recoiled at the memory of her shitty pick up line and the sudden remembrance of how much of a pick me girl she was .
This crush turned into a relationship, first kisses, hugs , tickles , hours of gaming , exchanged hoodies and happy 'I love you's . All good things must come to an end eventually... and it did . He lost feelings and Clementine was lost . She cut her hair , dyed it , grew out her fringe , changed her makeup, got braces and her personality went from ' ooo~ pwick mwe >~< sowwy iwm jwust swo cwumsy UwU' to ' fuck off .'
In the space of 4 months , clementine lucia Celeste had changed drastically. She was unrecognisable to some . Due to the fact they had broken up in the January , they still had some school to put up with while the other was there. And it didn't work out.He would try and date the entire school meanwhile Clem turned down every guy that came for her . He would start rumours and Clem would endure them until he eventually apologised... it was a never ending cycle . Clementine had lost her friend group a month after she was dumped and it was now 5 months in . Her ex was dating her ex best friend purely to get on her nerves. Camp swan was supposed to be her escape from it but no . Now she was supposed to marry him .
Him of all people?! He literally cheated on her ! Clementine let out a loud front before collapsing onto the centre of the tree legs holding her in place on the thick branches that towered over the flower field her and Alice had kissed in . The tree was thick and tall . The branches where where wide and stable , clementine could walk easily on them . She had always had the talent of climbing and balance when it came to being out in the wild . She had sharpened sticks into spears and tan beat foot through the forests that rolled off the hills. She had loved spending the day out by herself in the woods near where she camped . She had loved books , she had read the hunger games a lot as a young child leading her grandparents to give her a bow and a set of arrows when she was 9. She would run through the woods with her friends and shoot down apples and balance them on her friends head and shoot. She never missed a shot . The kids from the campsite of her childhood had a rhyme about her .
' clementine clementine,on the spot . Can you shoot an arrow on that dot? Rumors say she can get the whole lot !Yes she can she's never missed a shot!
Distant memories of her childhood and echos of children's singing shrouded her mind thankfully distracting her from her previous concerns . Splints made from sticks and ivy wrapped around kids legs when they had broken it , her shirt ripped a after being used as a tourniquet to stem the bleeding of a child that had fallen onto a sharp rock . She had seen it all and dealt with it all herself. She was strong , she was aware , she had impeccable hearing and senses , she could smell a fire from 5 miles away and judge what type of fire it was .
Her daydream was cut off by the snap of a twig from within the borders of the forest near the flower fields . She stood up quickly and skunk behind the tree, hopping across branches . She waited and into her view came a tired Alice . Puffy eyes , her movements where slow and tired . It was painfully obvious she had been crying all night . Clem's heart sunk in her chest . Pain. She starred , starred harder than ever before, observing every feature.
She hid behind the spruce for an hour until Alice left from her crying session and Clementine felt horrible . She wanted to drop dead on that tree . She may as well be hung like Katie pierce . As she trudged back through the woods , navigating through trees , she could only dread the second she got back . She hated it , no despised it . She wanted this horrible feeling to go away . She felt sick and her body and mind felt wrong . Everything felt so unbelievably uncomfortable to her . The camps noises soon came , children laughing and giggling, shouting and screaming running away from their friends.
Her only comfort in this situation was knowing tomorrow was the last day of camp swan . Then the day after that she would be home and thankfully away from the love of her life , so she could no longer make the small girl regret every stupid decision she had ever made . In 2 days Clementine Celeste wouldn't be tempted to kiss Alice lesti and could finally focus on her stupid 'arranged ' marriage to the prick that was currently talking to the girl he had dumped in order to be with Clem .
