Chapter 1 - On the Road
I held the warm coffee in my hands, absorbing the heat from the cup. Camping in winter. The greatest idea to man-kind. Not.
"Remind me why we came again?" I asked Mikey, one of my best friends, the one who forced me on this trip.
"Because, Em, we are becoming one with nature." He put his hands together in a praying motion.
I hated when he called me Em. It made me feel like the old lady from James Bond. Don't get me wrong, James, Q, M, they're great. But I'm so clumsy, I could barely even walk to Starbucks without hurting myself or someone else.
"Jasoonnnnnnnnnn." I whined. I was here camping with my four best friends, all guys. I'm the only girl with the four of them. Not only were we camping, but we were on a road trip. That's right, I had to spend five whole weeks with these losers. And this was only the first day.
"Emma, stahppp." He said like a 4 year old.
The four of then annoyed the hell out of me sometimes. We had an RV to take us across the country. Mikey, (if i had a favorite, it'd be him) the oldest, had driven most if the time, so right now e was snippy and mad. Jason, the second oldest, slept the whole time we drove, the motions put him to sleep like a baby. Then there was me, the middle, and I just sat in the passengers seat while Mikey drove. The other two, Christian and Kelly, were the twins. Christian was pretty weird. He was never quiet, which was why we locked him in the back room with food and video games. Kelly (a guy, named after his grandfather) on the other hand was the cute and shy nerd. He "got all the bitches" according to Christian.
"Guys. We need to pitch the tent." Kelly said, quietly from the front of the RV where he was leaning.
"Awww look who's taking charge!" I cooed at Kelly.
"Shut up." He blushed.
"Well, lets get going!" I clapped my hands together.
Five minutes later, the boys were struggling. I was just laughing at them.
"This is so funny to watch!" I yelled at them while winking.
"Hey Emmy, maybe if you helped us, instead of sitting on top of the bus we'd have this set up already." Christian yelled up to me.
"But I don't wannaaaaaaa." I whined down to them like a 5 year old would.
"Whatever." He huffed.
They struggled for a little while longer, and finally just gave up.
"Can't we just sleep in the RV?" Jason asked.
"We can't all fit in there." Christian glared. "Besides, Kelly has the WORST gas." We all laughed, except for Kelly, who smacked his twin upside the head.
"Is there a hotel near by?" I reached for my iPhone, which wasn't in my pocket. I groaned. "Has anyone seen my phone?"
All the guys groaned.
"Again, Em? You should really put a tracker on that thing." Mikey said.
"I know." I said.
