the sky transitions itself into this orange pinkish colour as the sun sets. it was truly a phenomenal view. me and mila left for the bonfire together at around 6. she wore this white and blue checkered top with a pair of converses. she also styled her hair with a hair curler, which gave her seemingly flawless hair even more curls.
she noticed me staring as we walked, "what?" she snapped at me. i stuck my hands into my pockets, "nothing." i said as i looked up.
we gathered up with our groups. i walked over to a table with s'mores ingredients. a guy from our group was also there. if i could remember, i think it was kai.

"by the way, who's your cabin mate?" he asked. i put a graham cracker on the paper plates, "this annoying girl. her name's mila." he stopped and gave a small chuckle, "oh, i talked to her this afternoon. she seemed chill tho." i gave him a glare, "yeah right." i mumbled under my breath.
