Buckingham - Being Rewritten

Chapter 8

It's finally Saturday. The day I leave for the tennis team camping trip. It's officially 4 o'clock. "Bye Diana! I'll be back Sunday." I wonder if Diana will hang out with James again this weekend.

"See you Sunday!"

Arriving at the front door of the dorm hall I see my teammates. But Sebastian isn't there. Odd, he's almost always early to tennis events.

Just then I see a black limo pull up. The driver's window rolls down to reveal coach Haywood. "Hiya everyone! Okay so put your bags in the trunk and if they all don't fit they should be small enough to keep with you in your seat. It's not very far." I now see who is sitting in the passenger's seat. Sebastian.

I put my bag in the trunk, and shockingly everyone's fit. I hop in the back seat in the seat closest to the little window between the front and back.

The ride to the campsite is fairly short. It was only about 40 minutes. The ride was filled with chit chat and eating snacks that people had.

The campsite has a lot of trees. There's 4 tents for the team. I'm set to stay with Audrey in tent 2. I rush over to my tent and quickly unzip it stepping inside. One the inside it's a basic green tent just like the outside.

I put my backpack down and roll out my white sleeping bag. Just then Audrey comes in. "Hey I think I'm gonna go for a walk with Jude." Audrey and Jude? Would have never thought. "Okay have fun!"

It's only 6 o'clock so it's too early to sleep. I get out my laptop and make sure it has service. I pull up Netflix and start watching Shameless.

~~~~~~~~~

I watched Shameless for about 4 hours. It's getting late, so I go to the bathroom cabin and brush my teeth, wash my face, and put on my pjs.

Once I get back to my tent I pull out a book. And turn on the lamp to see. The book is about a girl who lives in this fantasy land and has this like arch enemy. It's really good.

I hear a zip from the tent.

"Hey Elle. Jude and Audrey and spending the night in our tent soAudrey sent me here."

"Oh hey Sebastian! That's fine you can set your sleeping bag right there, Audrey never put her's down." He zips up the tent and rolls out his sleeping bag.

He sits down and gets under his sleeping bag. It's brown.

"So how are you? Is your grandpa still in the hospital?" Maybe this is a little too personal but hey, it's worth a shot.

"Yeah he's gotten a little worse. I'm fine though. I'm preparing for him to pass. I'm expecting it to happen at some point in mid December." At least he won't be as hurt when his grandpa does pass.

"Let's talk about something more light hearted. What's your favorite book?" It's probably boring like the Great Gatsby or some fishing book. He pushed onto his elbow before he responded.

"Actually I don't really have a favorite book. I really like Today Tonight Tomorrow though." Really? Well that sure is a surprise.

"Really? I love that book!" I know this sounds stupid. But maybe we can be friends.

What time is it? I pick up my phone and see it's already 11. I really need to sleep.

"I'm gonna go to sleep."

"Okay."
