As Zoey and Luke got on the bus, the engine started.
"Let's get a seat," Luke said. Zoey followed him to the back of the bus, and they sat down next to each other.
Mr Binns started walk up the bus, marking off all the names.
I really wish Ashe was here, she would love this... Zoey slumped down on her seat,
"Zoey, are you ok?" Luke asked, Zoey sat up straight,
"Yeah, yeah i'm fine, I just wish Ashe was here. That's all."
As the bus drove out of the bus bay, Luke put his arm around Zoey, her face went bright red.
Holy crap! A boy has his arm around me! Holy actual crap!
Zoey somehow fell asleep on Luke's shoulder, he didn't mind. The bus slammed to a halt. Zoey woke up immediately.
"Everyone! Grab your stuff and get off the bus!" Mr Binns called out,
Zoey went to grab her bag, but Luke had picked it up for her, "I'll take this for you, Zoey. Don't worry." He said smiling.
"I don't need a man to do all my heavy lifting." She said taking her bag off Luke.
After Zoey had finished setting up her 1-man tent, it was getting dark. Each student had to pack their own food to cook, which Zoey though she would enjoy. She rummaged through her suitcase, and pulled out a tin of soup. It seemed like everyone else had brought soup as well.
Zoey started to cook her soup, when one of the really snobby girls in her class pushed it off the portable stove.
"Oops, sorry Zoey, was that your food?" She laughed, Zoey picked up the can that was now empty on the ground. Luke had seen what happened and rushed over,
"Piss off Lucy, no one gives a damn about you!" Luke and Lucy were face to face, Lucy smiled,
"Oh Lukey, we all know this is your way of flirting with me," She nudged his arm,
Luke had a disgusted look on his face, "Why would anyone like a snobby little bitch like you!" He pulled her arm away.
Lucy frowned and walked away, Zoey stood up,
"Thanks for that," She said, Luke smiled,
"Any time. Hey, would you like some of my soup? Yours seems to be, watering the grass." He laughed, so did Zoey.
"Yeah thanks."
They both sat down on little logs around a campfire, with the rest of the class,
"Thanks for the soup, Luke." Zoey said, putting down her empty bowl,
"Don't mention it," Luke said, nudging Zoey.
"The stars look so beautiful don't you think?" Zoey asked, Luke looked at her,
"Not as beautiful as you." Zoey blushed, again.
Mr Binns walked over to everyone with five huge bags of marshmallows, and 30-odd roasting sticks, "Here you go class, eat as many as you want, but you have to share," he threw the bags on the ground, everyone rushed over and started roasting their marshmallows.
"The trick, is to let it catch on fire, then it's all caramelized," Luke said as he passed Zoey a marshmallow and a stick.
They both sat there quietly, watching their marshmallows cook.
Catch on fire. Catch on fire... Zoey thought to herself.
Everyone screamed! Zoey's marshmallow had just exploded.
