Emerson was tapping his fingers on his desk, staring at the clock. Tick. Tick. He kept glancing at Kai, his best friend, and secret crush. Tick. Tick. He couldn't wait for the bell to ring, because it was the last day of school! Tick. Tick. And on top of it being summer, he was going to go straight to camp with Kai from school! Tick. Tick. Other people from school were going, sure, even Emerson's other freinds, but Kai was the most important. Tick. Tick.
Ringggg!
Emerson grabbed his bag and ran out the door. He went straight to the bus loop, got on the bus, and, of course, saved a spot for Kai. "Hey, Kai!" Emerson shouted as Kai got on the bus with his hot pink Jo-Jo siwa backpack. "Oh, hi Emerson!" Said Kai. "Sit with me!" Emerson said back. "Well, I was going to sit with Gavin..." Emerson felt a pain in his heart. Were other people more important to Kai than he was? "But I think I'd rather sit with you." Emerson perked back up and moved his sleeping beauty themed backpack so kai could sit down.
Emerson looked at the window on the way to the campsite. He thought about whether he could have a chance to wind up with Kai or not. He thought kai liked him back, because they always flirted with eachother. But maybe it was just joking. Kai also sent Emerson a lot of mixed signals. For example, last year he had an unhealthy crush on snake. That made Emerson mad. He wished he were ginger so he could be Kai's type.
"Emerson? Emerson, we're here!" Said Kai, snapping him out of his thoughts. He looked out the window to see a large sign that said "camp bajoonga" and kids walking in on the path next to it.
