Summer of '09

Three

It's been 2 weeks since me and Dallas started dating and I couldn't be happier. We made love the other night. Yes love, right in the middle we both said we loved each other and I wanted to cry because first time anyone has actually said that to me and meant it. Well besides my parents.

I got up from bed and changed into some clothes. I put on a plain white t-shirt, blues jeans, tan timberlands and a red flannel shirt around my waist. I looked in the mirror "Basic" I laughed at myself.

I walked down stairs to eat breakfast. "Good Morning Mother" I laughed and kissed my mom on the cheek "haha, good morning" she handed me a piece of paper. "what's this?" I took the paper and gave it a quick look

'Summer Camp! Sign up now. For FREE! Yes... Free! 4 weeks only!!'

"I signed you up" she smiled sipping on her coffee. "what no! I don't want to go!" I was shocked that she signed me up and didn't even tell me about it.

"sorry hun, but i actually already did sign you up, plus you were always complaining about having nothing to do!" She tried to cheer me up. it didn't work. "Mom please I don't want to!" I threw my head back and groaned.

"Sorry baby girl, and pack your things because we leave tomorrow at 5:40 am" she walked out the kitchen and into the leaving room. Fuck, I had no choice. I went to pack a few clothes it was only for 4 weeks.

Once I finished, I left my house and met with Dallas at the park. "Hey cutie" he smiled. Aww I'm going to miss that. "you look upset" he lifted my chin up "i am" I frowned. "Why, here sit down" he sat me on his lap as he sat on the bench.

"I'm leaving for summer camp" I sighed, I hated the fact that I had to leave Dallas around all these girls who were way prettier that me. "Aww babe" he gave me a tight hug "I'm going to miss you so much, how long will you be gone?" "4 weeks"

"oh damn that's a long time" he chuckled which caused me to laugh "but hey you'll be back before you know it!" He kissed me cheek "I guess so" ... "Hey your brothers Drew right?" Ew Drew "haha yeah"

"The one with light brown hair and always at the stake park" "yep that's him" I chuckled "why?"
"It just I saw him skating with some friends yesterday and some kid had offered him a blunt, but he didn't take it"

"That's like the second time oh my god, I hope he gets caught honestly" I roll my eyes. I love Drew I mean he's my blood but sometimes it annoys me that he doesn't take my advice and finds new friends

"Please tell him to be careful. There's a lot of bad people in this town.. trust me I know and I don't want him getting hurt" he sounded concerned. I love that about him. He was so caring it warmed my heart.

The day went by so fast. Dallas had walked me home. We stood in front of my door step. He gave me one last hug. "I love you" he smiled and kissed my lips "I love you" I smiled back. He waved goodbye and walked home.

I walked in my house and made it in time for dinner. As always I sat in my spot. "So Darcy I heard you're going to camp" my dad smiled at me. god kill me please. "yeah wooh" I tried to sound excited but totally failed.

"Hahaha she's not going to see her boyfriend Dallas" my brother said to me in a baby voice. "I will punch you in the throat" I whispered to him. "I heard that" my mom looked up from her plate. I shrugged and mouthed "Sorry" I didn't really meant like cmon the little brat was being a bitch.

After dinner instead of going to my room I went to Drew's room "get out" he glared at me "shut up kid I'm here to talk to you about something serious" I sat on the edge of his bed. "No Darcy I'm not getting bullied" "it's not about bullying it's about something else" I felt his body tense up "what?" I sighed "ok Dallas told me that he saw you at the park with some kids and they offered you a blunt but you didn't take it. Im glad you didn't but I already told you to get new friends because those aren't your friends." he shook his head

"Look" he got up to face me "I can hang out with who ever the fuck I want ok!? You can't tell me what to do!" He yelled at me "YOU'RE 12!" I yelled back. I just wanted to punch him in the face "Shut up! Get out of my room" he pointed to the door.

"fine but when your 'friends' ditch you on the side of the road don't come to me crying and asking me for advice or anything shit like that because I won't be there to help you I'll be there to tell you 'I told you so' " with that I walked out his room slamming the door behind me.

I went to bed furious. what if he gets hurt!? Tomorrow was the first day of camp and I already hated it. I listened to music until sleep took over my body.

"DARCY!" I heard my mom scream. I got scared and accidentally fell off my bed. "What the fuck" I groaned. I looked at the clock and saw it was 4 am.

"WHAT KIND OF BULLSHIT ITS SATURDAY NO" I got back up on my bed and pulled the covers over me. I heard my mom stomp her feet in my room. "get up and get dressed because I have to drive you to the church and it's pretty far." I rolled my eyes "whatever"

"Darcy get up now or I will pour water all over you" her voice sounded serious. I got kinda scared but I knew she wasn't going to do it. "yeah sure" I mumbled. I then felt a cold liquid hit my body. it felt as if I just jumped into the fucking water in Antarctica.

I rolled out of my bed shaking since it was really cold and the AC in my room was at it's max. "mom what the hell!?" I didn't scream at her because I knew she would beat my ass. "I told you" she laughed and walked out.

Great way to start my morning. I took a quick shower and put some clothes on. A red shirt, black sweats and red converse. I looked at the clock again '4:56' it's to damn early for this.

"DARCY HURRY OR YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE!" My mom yelled from all the way down stairs. She was far but she still manage to hurt my ear drums. I rolled my eyes. "IM COMING". I quickly checked my phone and saw a text from Dallas.

From: Dallas boi <3
Be save baby girl, I love you.

To: Dallas boi <3
I will :) love you.

I walked down stairs and got into my moms car. I fell asleep on the ride to the church where the busses would be waiting for us.

My mom shook me till I woke up. I looked around and saw we were already here, ugh. I got out and my mom followed. There wasn't that many kids there was about 10.. A lady wearing a very bright green shirt with blue tie-dye pants stepped out of the bus clapping her hand and had the biggest grin on her face. I don't like her already.

"Ok! Let's check roll!" She got out her clipboard and began calling out names.

"Charlie?" ... "Here"
"Samantha?" ... "Here"
"Jose?" ... "Here"
"Justin?" ... "Here"
"Eric?" ... "Here"
"Darcy?" ... "Here" I smiled
"Becky?" ... "Present" she said in the most cheerful voice. There's another one I don't like.
"Ricky?" ... "Here"
"Raul?" ... "Yo" and another one.
"And last Oscar?" ... "What it do"

Raul and Oscar must have been best friends since they high fived every chance they had. "Perfect!! Everyone's here! Yay this will be a summer you guys won't forget!"

We said our goodbyes and got on the bus. I instantly felt my eyes get heavy. I was sitting in the back with my head against the window. Eric sat beside me and Samantha behind me.

"Hey Darcy.. right?" I looked up and saw Samantha. "yeah" I smiled. "ok one question and if you answer it correct we will friends forever." she chuckled.

"Alright what is it" "ok... on a scale of 1-10 how annoying is Becky?" She raised her eyebrow. I laughed "i think about a 16" see widened her eyes "dude that's exactly what I said, I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship" she laughed and gave me a high five. "ok I will let you sleep now."

I looked over at Eric who was on his phone. He was actually really cute. I slowly started to fall asleep again. There was only one thing on my mind and that was Dallas.
