"Hey wait up I can't run that fast, wait up" Amber says as she scuffs her feet on the ground.
Ash, Sim, Amber and I finally we are going camping trip in mount clay. I've been on a four months planning, making sure it's on the long weekend. Begging family's to let their child go out to the bush and go viral for two days. It's not as easy as it sounds
"Amber this is walking." I mutter coming back to the real world. She looks at me with a glare. I just shrug it off. I have been making the same comment five times already and we still haven't got up this hill. Amber is my best friend. Don't get me wrong we may sound like we hate each other sometimes.
I looked down at my black hard tip shoes that are now brown and are covered in mud. If someone I know from school sees me they will probably think I have been doing the rain dance in the mud.
"We are almost there" I look up to see ash running up to the top of the hill with his hands up in the air like he had just won a 20 kilometre race. I don't really know why we made him the leader of this great camping trip, I must have hit my head on something hard when I voted.
"Sim?" I question turning around
Sim had a grim expression on his face he just looked down at his feet while he trudged up the steep hill, which was weird for him he usually runs around like he had won the lotto.
"What's wrong with him?" I question to Ash as we wait near a grey rock for Sim and Amber to get up the tree filled hill.
"I dared him to stay quite till we got to the top of the hill, this hill was hard enough by itself without Sim shouting to the trees like they're going to reply" Sim jogged up to the top of hill in a big rush, he Probably wanted to say something drastic.
"You know I can still hear you, I have ears" Sim says grimly punching Ash in the arm
We walk for about an hour before I totally give up on our leader.
"Ok do you even know where we are going Ash, I swear we have already seen this tree times already" I mutter as we walk
"It's going to be dark any second now" Amber says as she stops walking
"You do know that it's doesn't just turn dark all of a sudden, it's not Minecraft" Sim says while raising an eyebrow at Amber
"I'm sorry to stop your lovely convocation, I would like to inform you that we are here" we look up at the old looking wooden shack. Which looked like one of those creepy abandoned outside toilets, you see behind abandoned creepy houses.
"When you said you knew a place I was thinking a house not a shoe box" Amber says grimly as she turns to face Ash
"We went on a camping trip so we could get away from the perfect houses, if you hate it you can sleep outside with the rats" Ash says leaning his head to one side while crossing his arms angrily
Sim just nods and lets himself into our new home, we just follow his lead without questioning Ash again.
It wasn't as bad as it looks
It was a lot bigger than it looked from the outside. We walked through a small passage way before going into a small kitchen which lead to four separate rooms.
"I love it" Amber says happily completely forgetting shoebox comment.
"Yeah same it's perfect, just what we need" I say as I dump our food supply on the Kitchen table.
We go off our separate ways.
I get to my bedroom and shut the door behind me opening up the windows to let some cool breeze blow in. After about half an hour of unpacking. I walk back into the kitchen that is now filled with the bread rolls.
