Emma- Hey guys, look, it's almost full moon.
Juls- No shit Sherlock, it happens once a month hahaha.
Emma- Just a comment...
Jacob- By the way, guys, can I talk to you about something?
Kaitlyn- What is it?
Jacob- Well, it didn't go specifically to you but anyways.
Kaitlyn- Okay... shall I... cover my ears then? *Covers her ears*.
Jacob- Hahaha, no, don't cover them, it's just... are we going to keep the contact after this? Like... being friends and stuff...
Juls- Wow, good question...
Dylan- It would be great to have a group chat.
Ryan- Whenever I get back my phone, I'm on it.
Nick- Same, we should try and arrange a meeting for all eight of us.
Jacob- Okay Mr. Cultured hahaha.
Nick- Keep up with that and there's no meeting for you.
Jacob- I was joking, my fav Australian pal hahaha.
Juls- Jokes aside, we should meet and celebrate Halloween together, as it's the first... you know, big holiday to come.
Kaitlyn- I would love to. I'll pick you up from the airport, bud.
Jacob- Appreciate it haha. It's nice you all agreed, I thought you didn't want to.
Juls- Why not?
Jacob- I don't know, no one mentioned it before...
Ryan- Maybe because we still have a whole month of camp to worry about what will happen at the end.
Jacob- Maybe... I should go to sleep, I just keep thinking about the end of camp and stuff...
Emma- Come here, my pessimistic sweet boy hahaha *smooches him*.
Juls- You didn't have enough with me I guess haha.
Emma- Pessimistic sweet girl, meet, pessimistic sweet boy.
Juls- Pleasure haha.
Jacob- Same haha. Anyways, goodnight pals.
Emma- Sweet dreams, people, see you tomorrow.
Nick- I can't really process how many things have been going on this summer and it's not even half-over.
Dylan- Right... you guys made me have the best birthday ever.
Nick- Same *fists bumps*.
Ryan- Glad you both liked it haha.
Juls- *Lays on Kaitlyn's shoulder*.
Kaitlyn- Aaawww, someone is kinda sleepy?
Juls- No...
Kaitlyn- *Stands up* Come on up, let's go to bed *stretches her arm*.
Juls- *Stands up with Kaitlyn's help*.
Kaitlyn- I'm taking this baby to bed, goodnight guys.
Juls- Goodnight guys.
Abi- Goodnight! *Waves*.
Ryan- Actually... I think I'm going with them, coming Dylan? *Stretches his hand*.
Dylan- Um... *looks at Nick and smiles* yeah, yeah, let's go.
Nick- *Winks back*.
Ryan- Goodnight.

Thanks guys hahaha.

Nick- *Looks at the sky* Aren't you tired?
Abi- Not really... *lays down*. I prefer to stay here for a while and stare at the sky.
Nick- *Lays next to her* Nothing like a quiet, summer night at camp...
Abi- Yeah, I really like summer nights, it's not so cold, not so hot, and there are no clouds so you can see the constellations perfectly.
Nick- Do you differentiate any of them now?
Abi- *Points at the sky* I think that's Leo.
Nick- There's no freaking way you see a lion there...
Abi- No dumbass, hahaha. The constellation is not a lion itself, I know how it looks like because it's my sign.
Nick- Oh true, your birthday was on...?
Abi- August 15th.
Nick- August 15th, right. Now, how does your constellation look like? Am I going to be able to see it?
Abi- Look at those bigger and shiner stars, there's a group over there *points at the sky*.
Nick- I think I'm no good at this...
Abi- Come on look at them!
Nick- Do you have your sketchbook with you? So that maybe you can draw it for me, see if I can get it haha.
Abi- Got it here, wait *sits down and starts drawing*.

God, she's so perfect... She looks beautiful when she's not minding anyone, so concentrated... gorgeous.

Abi- Here it is *lays back down*.
Nick- Let me see...
Abi- *Maintains the sketchbook above them* See? This star is that one, and this one, is that one. They make like a kind of irregular hexagon with a... line on top.
Nick- Like a beret hahaha.
Abi- Hahaha, you saw it!
Nick- I did!
Abi- Hahahahaha.
Nick- You seem to know a lot about this...
Abi- Yeah, I mainly draw landscapes so, every certain period of time I try to draw one at night time.
Nick- Can you tell me more about it?
Abi- Oh *blushes*. I don't... really follow the horoscope that much, I just know the signs and their "qualities" but I've met people who share a sign and are similar in NOTHING.
Nick- I just know I'm a cancer haha.
Abi- Yep.
Nick- What can you tell me about my sign?
Abi- Umm... you're very sensitive...
Nick- Okay, that one's true...
Abi- Aaannd... you tend to dramatize hahaha.
Nick- That's Emma, not me.
Abi- That's why I say I don't believe, Emma is the drama queen here and she's not a cancer haha.
Nick- *Sits back down*.
Abi- *Sits on his lap* Do you mind?
