They were all in the woods, sitting around a campfire. Megan talked in her usual baby voice, while Jade tried to strum a guitar. Caleb was fascinated with the guitar, while Dylan held a monster can in his hand, starring at the fire. Kevin, he went on about politics and Germany. "WADDA HECK JADE, GIVE MY GUITAR BACK." "Fuck you and fuck your shit bitch go back the the first grade." Jade said in a giggly, but low voice. "REEK." Megan screeched, grabbing the guitar and excessively laughing. Caleb chuckled himself, and shifted in his seat. The fire lit up the area as the stars, one by one, appeared. "Look, the litter dipper is coming out." Jade pointed at the sky, and Dylan replied, "So is my dick." "PORN." Megan yelled, and Jade looked at her and started laughing.
The five of them were having fun, a nice camp outing. Even though Megan didn't know the others very well, everyone clicked. "Caleb, your cheeks are so sofftttt." The redhead said, pinching his cheeks gently and looking at his brown puppy eyes, seeming quite dull. Dylan threw his can down and jumped up onto Caleb's back, riding him as if he were a new buck in a rodeo rink. Caleb eventually threw the boy off into the dirt, and things settled down. Kevin drew into the sand, listening to the Super Mario Galaxy theme song, whilst Megan was trying to show him real music.
Later on, everyone fell asleep in their tents, Kevin & Dylan in the same tent, and Megan in a tent by herself, the one she was going to share with Jade.
Caleb and Jade were silent, sitting next to each other and watching the fire crackle. "Do you still think dating is stupid?" Jade asks softly, her blank face starring into the fire. "Uh, well, I don't know. I don't really wanna date until like college." He said slowly, digging his foot into the ground beneath them.
"Oh. Okay." The girl played with a string that was in her pocket, feeling her throat tighten and her eyes get watery. She stood up.
"I'm going to bed, will you put out the fire, Caleb?"
"Yeah, sure." He said beamingly, Jade smiled and went into her tent. That was the image he saw of her tonight, her (rather sad) smile.
As the morning approached, Dylan stood there, blankly looking at the site.
Bodies were hanging off trees, still bleeding, leaking in streams to the ground, tainting it a dark red. Jade was the second to wake up, she was shocked, and immediately, her mood changed. "Pack the stuff up. Right fucking now." She tore the tents down, told Caleb to carry the sleeping bags and pillows, while Megan held the tent and Kevin held the other, and Dylan grabbed the supplies. Jade held the bad of food.
Everyone piled in the car, and they all sat, silent.
"Jade. What the fuck was that?" Kevin asked sternly, and Jade just turned on the car, and drove abruptly onto the highway.
"Jade, for real what was that?" Dylan added on, all of their voices seemed concerned.
"JJ... We have a right to know." Megan said strongly.
The redhead stopped the car to a halt in less than a second. "LISTEN HERE FUCKERS, I KNOW WHAT THAT SHIT WAS BACK THERE, AND I HAVE A FUCKING RIGHT TO NOT TELL YOU, NOW YOU EITHER SIT AND STAY QUIET OR I LEAVE YOU TO HER." Silence, tears were streaming down Caleb's and Megan's face,
Jade continued driving.
