fierce and forgiving:second chances

chapter's à 17

We were all in our cabins,except Lisa who was probably with mark,lucky girl,we were here barely two days and shez already got good company.
We were all doing our own things,I was reading my Karen Kingsbury book,Stephanie, Molly and Britt were chattering away about how hot the guys in camp look,well what can I say that's all we chat about besides fashion. Kelly was observing everything and Alexia is doing what she always does,well what I have seen her always do which is scribbling something in her note pad,she was either drawing or writing,I can't really say.
Alexia is a beautiful girl beyond all the dark hair,make up and clothing, something must have pushed her to the dark side,yeah I call goths members of the dark and mysterious side,I just don't know why.
When she caught me staring she gave me a disgusted look and I shifted my gaze back to my book.
Time flew by so quickly and it was time to assemble for our next activity. Leaving the cabin and heading for the conference hall,I felt a tap on my shoulder and I turn around to see ralph

"Sorry but could you like direct me to the conference hall,I haven't had the opportunity to tour the whole area" he said

"Umm...straight down to your right is the cafeteria, once your in,the door on the left wing leads to the conference hall" I said directing him

"Okay,thanks alot" he said walking ahead of me till he stopped abruptly turning towards me
"I didn't get your name" he said
Really,was this one of those moves guys always made because last I checked he was there when we did the introduction stuff

"Beth" I said

"Well see you around beth" he said flashing half a smile before disappearing

Minutes later we all gathered in the conference hall,Lisa and mark seemed to be getting along just perfect in fact they sat together. A bald gentle man who looked in his 50s walked in.

"Hello everyone and the gentle man with me is Mr Francis Berry" Mrs Carmen said motioning for the man to introduce himself better

"As you already know,I am Francis Berry and I would be taking this evenings activity,I am the school counsellor of lake ridge high here in Oregon" Mr Francis said
Well he kept on talking about his life history and I almost fell asleep if not for the constant tapping of Alexia's feet,well I was able to learn of how rough Mr Francis's childhood was and how hard everything was till his uncle helped him.
Well it seemed like everyone zoned out till ralphas whistle brought the audience back

"Since you all seem to be very distracted, I take it that you all are tired,so assemble yourselves to the cafeteria for dinner,besides you all have a tough day ahead" Mrs Carmen said
In a matter of seconds people were already heading towards the cafeteria, forming a straight line like we did during lunch,since I already stuffed myself for lunch I wasn't hungry but still stayed on the queue,grabbing two apples I headed to the empty table just at the corner, I was halfway there when I bumped into someone making my apples fall out of my hand but two arms caught me just before I could fall,staedying me properly before letting go. I stared at the person who caught me and I was mesmerized by his eyes,its funny how one boy can make you forget the other but his voice brought me out of my trance

"Hey am sorry,I wasn't paying attention to where I was going" the cute guy said picking up my apples

"No worries,I can be a clutz too" I said trying to collect my apples back so I could wash them

"At least lemme help you wash them" he said giving me an apologetic look
Why can't I remember his name, I mean he is cute. He was back with my apples all washed up and clean.

"Thank you and am sorry for bumping into you" I said collecting them back, flashing him a small smile
He smiled back and went ahead to join the queue,I sat at the empty table eating my apple when I felt someone staring,I glanced to the direction and it was the cute face I bumped into,when he noticed I caught him staring,he shifted his gaze to the wall like it was the most interesting thing in the world.
Someone was dropping their tray on my table and I looked up to see Ralph,he smiled at me whilst sitting down.
"How has your stay been so far"I asked politely

" I haven't been here long but it seems boring,especially the life history of Mr Berry, it took a lot not to sleep"he said chuckling
I was trying so hard to stiffle a laugh but I ended up laughing so hard at all his facials gaining peoples attention but I couldn't care less.
Time went by and everyone was done with their meals,we all gathered in the midst of the camp,under the stars in front of the beautiful old tree and Mrs Carmen led us all in prayers

"May we all close our eyes,our heavenly Father, as we approach your throne we pray you shower mercies upon us,that we be able to sleep in peace and wake up strong. Amen"
And we all echoed Amen
We all dispersed into our cabins but before I entered I caught my mystery guy staring at me and as I looked he was gone.I drifted to sleep as soon as my head hit the pillow and all I could do was struggle to wake up,I felt trapped in my sleep.
