For the summer Sheila X Reader

Chapter 12

I watched as his car disappeared into the distance turns out I was more like him than I thought I was. We had similar interests he was a good guy I wish Andy would have gotten to meet him got to know him like I did. Then again I wouldn't have gotten to know my dad if it weren't for him " you gonna miss him aren't ya?" Sheila asked. " Yeah, he wasn't the asshole I thought he was. Too bad I didn't get to know him sooner" Andy would have liked him. " Regan" I turned to see the Berman sisters along with Tommy Slater. " Ziggy!" we ran into each others arms. Ziggy and I were in the same English class we bonded over horror novels and films. " We heard about Andy" Ziggy said. It must of spread around school I didn't go the last two weeks of school. " We wanted to check up on you but we didn't have your address or house number. We knew how close you guys were" Cindy said. " Andy was a groovy guy everyone liked him" Tommy said. " Hey snitch!" Cindy rolled her eyes as Alice, Arnie, and Joan walked up to us. " Stop calling that!" they reeked of grass. Joan pulled me into a hug " I'm sorry about Andy tragic about what happened to him. How are you holding up?" the bus pulled up kids saying goodbye to their parents as we got on the bus.

I sat next to Ziggy, Tommy and Cindy sat behind us. Joan and Arnie sat in the seat next to us Alice sat on Arnie's lap " it was really hard at first in shock you know. Andy was my best friend" we jolted forward as the bus started to move. " We heard that you found him. What did he look like when you found him?" Arnie asked. Alice hit him " what the hell is wrong with you asshole!" he stayed quiet. " I ran into Greg at the grocery store a couple of days ago had the late night munchies. He said that you were staying with your dad in Sunnyvale" Joan said. " I thought you didn't know your dad" Ziggy questioned. " I didn't after what happened he wanted me to stay with him for the summer. He had to go on a business trip so, he sended me to camp" I lied. " Don't worry I'll make sure you'll have a memorable time at Camp Nightwing" Ziggy smiled.

We arrived at camp Nightwing stepping off the bus I took in the scenery " come on" Ziggy interlocked our arms. We walked towards the dining hall which they call the mess hall I spotted Sheila with her trio " welcome to camp nightwing campers!" a blonde teenage boy yelled excitedly. His name is Kurt a complete tight ass Ziggy said. " Come on up camp counselors!" Cindy, Tommy, Joan, Alice, Arnie, Gary and this guy named Nick went up to the front. " If any one needs anything asks one of us and in the medical department we have nurse Lane. Nurse Lane please wave" a middle age woman with brown hair waved to the crowd. Lane as in Ruby Lane kids start to whisper to one another. " If you need any medical attention go to nurse Lane her office is right next to the mess hall. Alright to the fun part the living arrangements" Ziggy held my arm tighter. " I hope we get to be roommates" I wanted to be Sheila's roommate but I also want to be Ziggy's roommate. " In cabin five we have Ziggy and Regan" Sheila and I made eye contact. " In cabin seven we have Annie, Becky, and Sheila. Now no boys in the girls cabins no funny business. Everyone get settled when the bell rings it's dinner time. See you all back here for dinner" everyone went into their separate cabins.

" Here we are" the cabin has two beds with one night stand and one big dresser " you take two drawers and I'll take the other two" I agreed. " I'm glad you're here. I'm usually by myself everyone's too busy working and the older kids are assholes fucking sunnyvalers. How is it like in Sunnyvale does your dad live in a mansion?" I put some of my clothes in the drawers. " Yeah, they have everything there mall, cinema, arcade, and a roller rink" all we have is a library and a couple of parks where everyone smokes grass. " Is everyone assholes?" I shook my head. " Not all of them except for this lady up the street is bat-shit crazy" talking about Sheila's mom. " I'm sorry I didn't contact you. I've been a bad friend" looking down. " You're here now and that's all that matters" we hugged. " Have you read Stephen King's new book?" I asked as we each held a stack each in hand. " I just finished reading the Shining it's really good. Have you read it?" Ziggy shook her head. " No, have you read the Stand?" we switched books that we haven't read yet." This will keep us busy for two weeks" the bell rang it's dinner time and I am starving.

We got our food trays dinner is hot dogs with mac and cheese sitting down at one of the tables " what did you do?" Cindy whispered yelled. " What do you mean?" Ziggy asked as Cindy sat across from us. " Sheila is giving you guys the evil eye. We haven't been here 24 hours yet".

" We didn't do anything and who's Sheila?".

" Her and her little trio let to make us Shadysider trash what she likes to call us life's miserable" Ziggy replied taking a bite of her hot dog.

" You keep your distance from her Regan if she gives you any trouble come to me and I'll take care of it" Cindy said.

" She's been bullying everyone here for years. She's a bitch Regan stay away from her and maybe she won't give you any problems".

Sheila's the mean girl of the camp. She always treated me with kindness but she didn't know I am a shadysider, Sunnyvalers and shadysiders are each others biggest enemies and rivals split up between classes. Sunnyvale is rich class and Shadyside is poor class wish it didn't have to be that way." Hey zig can I borrow your toothpaste" everyone's about to turn in for the night. " Sure, here" tossing me the toothpaste. " I'll be back" walking towards the washroom when someone pushed me against the wall making my heart stop.

" Shit, Sheila I thought you were an axe murder" feeling the rapid beat of my heart in my chest. " Why didn't you tell me you were a shadysider. Did you tell Ziggy Berman about us?".

" What, no I'm not an idiot and I thought maybe it wouldn't matter where I came from. Why, am I shadysider trash now?" her face softened hurt in her eyes.

" What did she tell you?".

" That you and your crew make shadysiders lifes miserable around here. Told me to stay away from you. I didn't picture you to be a bully".

" Ziggy and I go back and forth she does something bad to me and I do something bad to her" Ziggy is a big prankster not everyone understands her.

" So much for this being our summer. You already know like half of the camp" I grabbed her hands.

" It still can be" her blue eyes met mine.

" Who's Andy? I was listening to you on the bus. You told me that you had nobody back home seems like you guys were close like a couple" I laughed as she stayed quiet and stern.

" Can we go someplace more private?" she took me into the woods where we sat on a log.

" Who's this Andy dude and why didn't you tell me about him? I thought we tell each other everything. Do you not trust me or something?" I put my hand on top of hers.

" I do trust you. I trust you more than anyone. I'm ready to tell you everything" I took a deep breath.

" Andy's my big brother he's two years older than me. He was my rock, my protecter, my best friend. My mom has two jobs she was never home so, we only had each other. One day he wasn't at our meet up spot at school he ditched sometimes but he always told me or he was there to pick me up. This day he didn't I knew something wasn't right when I went home and he wasn't in his room" tears rolled down my face as I started to choke up. " Take your time" Sheila said softly rubbing her thumb over the top of my hand giving me comfort. " The bathroom door was cracked there I found him a needle next to him. His face was blue . . . he was dead. I found his dead body" I broke down. Sheila pulled me into her arms rubbing my back as I sobbed on her shoulder. I'm so sorry that you had to go through that must have be traumatizing. I didn't know" rocking side to side. " I didn't talk or eat for weeks. I barely slept cause of the nightmares I had of me finding Andy's dead body for weeks. I was so fucked up then my dad called wanted to me to stay with him for the summer. That's why I moved to Sunnyvale" she wiped the tears from my eyes.

" Why didn't you tell me sooner?".

" I don't know after I met you slowly I started to eat, started to talk, started to sleep through the night. The nightmares started to go away I was starting to feel like myself again. I didn't want to resurface that you made it better Sheila. I didn't want to live with my dad but I'm so glad that I did or else I wouldn't have met you. You changed my life" her lips went on mine.

" You changed my life too".
