Nick and Ziggy

chapter 1

Ziggy's POV

Cindy, my sister knocks on my door telling me to get ready, and that I only have about 30 minutes to do so. I got up took a quick shower then got dressed. I brushed my teeth then went to my room to pack, since I hadn't done it last night when Cindy told me to. As I was packing my last piece of clothing my sister told me to hurry up. The only reason she's acting like this is. One, She is now little Mrs perfect. Second, she's a councilor and they have to be there 45 minutes earlier. I think it's, because she just wants to see her perfect Virgin boyfriend Tommy. Tommy matches her now perfect life. She started this after dad left during mom's drinking and since we'll probably lose the house because mom would rather go out drinking instead of paying the bills. Still I'd rather stay here than go to camp Nightwing.

Anyhow I finish with 15 minutes left to spear, so I go down stairs, and eat the breakfast that Mom fixed. With no doubt had help from Cindy since most days mom has a bottle of liquor in her hands. Cindy was going through our stuff to make sure we had everything and wouldn't leave anything behind. Mom was in the living room watching the news. While they were busy with that I went through our liquor cabinet putting some in little bottles I had in my room just for camp. Going back and forth between vodka, tequila, whiskey, and bourbon pouring in each of them evenly. I finish that and put it back in the cabinet knowing mom won't notice and Cindy is to perfect to even open the cabinet.

I put a few in my pocket as I hear Cindy coming down the stairs, and quickly hide the other bottles in some of the drawers that I use. I wash my dish dry it and put it back where it was. "You ready." Cindy asked enthusiasticly. "Yeah." I say smiling sarcastically. She huffs rolls her eyes, and I walk out of the kitchen grabbing a few more bottles without her noticing somehow heading up to my room to put the 10 tiny liquor bottles I managed to get in my bag. I fixed 25 in total.

Grabbing my bag after making sure where I put the bottles wouldn't make a sound as I walk. Thank goodness I say to myself when I don't hear one sound also making sure they won't break or bust open, but it doesn't. I go down stairs and tell them I forgot something in the kitchen. I grab the bottles I didn't get and grabbed a jacket putting some in their and some in my pants pocket.

Cindy practically rushes us out the door to the car even though there is still 8 minutes until she had to be there. I'm in the back while mom drives and Cindy is in the front. They or more like Cindy keeps talking about stuff idk I didn't care enough to listen I was busy putting the rest of the bottles in my bag.

We finally reached the shadyside highschool got out of the car telling mom bye as the rest of the councilors came in. She went to her boyfriend as soon as he came over while gary opened the school with the key how he managed to get it I'll never know, but whatever. We go into my English teachers classroom and while they go over some councilor bullshit I sit on the wall just tapping my fingers.

It's finally time to go 'great' I think sarcastically. Before I put my bag up I get out a pencil, small notebook, and a book by Judy Blume. I walked to the back of the bus as usual. Well usually me Cindy, her friend Alice, and Alice's boyfriend Arny sit back here with me, but she replaced them too. Since she's little miss perfect now.

I got back to the real world when some boy asked, " can I sit here?" I say, " yes." I go back to my own world until I look at the boy again and think he looks familiar, but from where? I go back to looking at the window, and it hits me 'goode' that's 'Nick Goode' I think. Oh god why is he sitting beside me couldn't he have sat with one of his friends or girls that swoon over him. I roll my eyes internally.

He turns to me, and speaks. "Your Ziggy right?" "Yes" I say. "Also your sister is Cindy isn't it?" "Correct again" I say sarcastically. "You probably don't want to be questioned, sorry." He says genuinely. "You're right. I don't, but I'm bored, so I guess go right ahead." I say snidely. "Ok, well...(he looks down and sees the title of her book) what's your favorite Judy Blume book?" He asks. I smile lightly chuckling a little bit.

"What's so funny?" He questions me. "Nothing I just didn't picture you as the type to read anything really. Especially Judy Blume." I answer. "Why's that?" He asks. "Because you don't look like you would read at all. (She says genuinely). King of Sunnyvale and all figure you would just give one of the girls that throw themselves at you all your homework assignments and stuff." He looks taken back. "Wow. Ok." He says taken back. I guess it was kind of a strong statement I think. "Next question." I say. He laughs it off, and they continue this til their at the camp. "I can't believe King is your favorite author." I say with disbelief in my voice while laughing. "Yeah, ok. Says the one who likes Judy Blume." He says defensively and like he didn't believe her.

They come to a stop as Kurt gets up to go over the rules and tell who the camp councilors are. "Alice, Arny, Cindy, Garry, Tommy, and Joan for shadyside.  Me, Violet, Lilly, Jace, Rose, and Nick." Kurt says. A bunch of cheers erupt and Nick's face goes red. "Looks like you might have some fans." I say and start laughing at my statement. Nick joins me after a bit. After a few more seconds we're all off the bus and I leave Nick, and go straight to my sister to get a key for cabin 5 the cabin I'm always in.

This cabin is, also farthest away from my sister thank goodness. Of course I hear some of what Kurt has to say since he didn't get all of it covered on the bus, but I just head to my cabin hoping to not have to talk to anyone and just drink to my heart's content.

My goal this summer is to ignore everyone I don't like at least. I'm pretty sure one of shielas goons went on vacation this summer and will be back next year, so that's good for me. That leaves Sheila, that one goon of hers, will, and that's it for her group. Now the other is my sister and her whole friend group, also Kurt, so I have a ruff start so far.

I was the first one out of my normal roommates kate and Hannah. I actually like my roommates we've had the tradition of drinking our summer away since 3 years ago, so when we we're all 13-14 years old. I open one of the bourbon bottles and drink it now she's down to 4 bottles of it now. When she starts hiding some of her bottles Kate comes in.

"Hey zig." Kate says happily. "Hello Kate." I say normal. "I can tell you have already started drinking... Look what I have." She says secretively. She pulls out a big bottle of vodka and whiskey. "How many little bottles do you have Zig?" " I have 5 of everything I usually bring except bourbon I have only 4 of that left." Well now you don't have to worry on drinking to much whiskey and vodka since we have a bottle of it." "Yes we do." I say happily.

Hannah barges in as me and Kate our taking a swig of vodka. "How dare you two (she closes the door) start drinking without me. Hannah says yelling slash whispering. I start to feel a little dizzy, so I stop. "Look what I bought." She says excited. She takes a a bottle of bourbon, tequila, and wine. That reminds me.

Cindy allowed me to pack at least one bottle of liquor after I wore her down. "Look what Cindy allowed me to pack." I got a bottle of champagne out. "Yess!" The two girls said. We already had glasses in our combined drawer for our alcohol. We had opened the bottle of wine and was drinking it in our glasses.

"So who's the cutest boy here?" Kate asked. "We just got here." I state. "Doesn't matter" Kate states "I saw you and Nick talk." Hannah says. "Yeah, so." I say unimpressed with where this was going. "You didn't feel anything?" Kate shouts. "No, we just asked questions back and forth." " I saw laughing." Kate states wiggling her eyebrows. "I'm going to pretend I didn't see that." I say. "Wow, ok you're officially blind because he's hot." Hannah states. "Like Capital h hot."Kate says adding on to Hannah's. "You guys are clearly not in your right minds, but whatever."

I get the bottle of bourbon, and pour it in the glass drinking that instead. A couple minutes later the lunch bell rings, and they all rush around almost tripping to was the glasses and hide the rest of the alcohol when Ziggy accidentally knocks over one of the bottles and feel around when she knocks on the wood and it's hallow. Ziggy grabs the bottle she knocked over, and told the other, so now their is 2 big bottles of alcohol and 4 smaller ones. Even though they brought bigger ones they, also bring smaller ones just in case.
We drink some water and practice walking straight for a few before going to lunch.
