"Mom come on! Move it already! Gosh old people are so slow."

"Oriel...young lady, watch your mouth. And for your information, I'll have you know that your mother is only forty-three years old. In my book you're not old until you reach 80 plus age is just a number."

"Well Mrs. Adella Garez, either way, you're not far from it", said Oriel in a low voice.

"I heard that young lady" said Adella staring at Oriel.

"Come on mom, am just messing with you. You know you're the greatest mom in the world and in my eyes you'll never grow old. Speaking of which, we better get going. We've been here so long I can feel my hair growing."

"Ok, ok. Let's go. Do you have everything you need? Are you all packed?

"Yes mom, can we just please go?"

"Really? You're so anxious to leave your mom? All alone on her own? Won't you miss me?" Adella asked playfully while giving her daughter Oriel a sad, blue, puppy-eyed face.

"Ha ha, oh mom stop. You're so funny. Of course I'll miss you, plus I'll only be at camp for two months. You act as if its a year."

"Yeah I know baby, its just that you've never been away from me for so long" said Adella while putting the last of the bags in the car. "I guess we should get going now. I've tried to delay long enough. You sure you have everything you need?

"Yes mom, I am seventeen, am not a baby anymore. I can take care of myself. Stop worrying already, I'll be fine."

"Ok am sorry, let's go"

They both got in the car, put on their seatbelts and drove off.

Oriel's POV

Oh my God! I am so excited. This is going to be great. Two months away from mom...well I am going to miss her. Her home cooked meals, the way she makes me laugh, the way she snores...ok, maybe I won't miss that but OMG! This is going to be great. I can feel it.

We were finally here and mom had helped me to bring my stuff to my room before parting rather dramatically.

I had recently found out on our little tour that even tho we would be camping outdoors every once in awhile and doing lots of outdoor activities, we all have a room that we will be sharing with a roommate. Room 59 is where I will be spending my two months. I gotta admit, it wasn't as luxurious as my room back home but it was more than I expected (and I didn't expect much).

It was in a light shade of green with two small beds on either side of the room. The floor was tiled in a rather dull shade of grey and there was a window in the middle of the wall that was big enough to allow an adequate amount of light to enter the room. Right below the window was a small night lamp on a little bedside table that I assumed they used as a border between both beds. There were also two chester draws for our clothes to go in and the only items on the wall were two very simple paintings of nothing but dark, never ending woods.

I had spent a few hours packing my stuff and adding a few personal stuff to my side of the room. A picture of me and mom, a vase of fake tulips with a few birds of paradise, two posters on the wall, one of my favorite Jamaican artiste Aidonia and one of my favorite american artiste The Weeknd. I had also changed the dull cream sheets on the bed to a multicouloured sheet with matching comforter that my mom had bought especially for me.

After taking a sec to look at the difference between both sides of the room I had realized that I still haven't seen my roommate as yet. The only thing I had seen that showed me she was already here were two oversized brown suitcases. "She must be around here somewhere" I thought as I opened the door and stepped outside. I inhaled deeply allowing the fresh air to flow through my body before slowly exhaling. This place was so cool, it was as if I was in a more woody version of the garden of Eden. Everything was so beautiful and green. Bugs, insects and birds were on every tree, every flower. I am an outdoor person which is probably why this excited me so much.

I decided to take a stroll around the area and let my eyes take in as much as they could. I was enjoying the walk very much until I heard a muffled cry. I followed the sound and emerged around a corner. There were no rooms around here and all I saw were four girls in an open space surrounded by trees. At first I thought they were just some friends chilling and talking to each other but as I decided to turn back and go to my room I was shocked by the sudden flash of action that started to happen.

The tallest girl had pushed down one of the others and the three that were standing started to trampel the girl on the ground.

"You little slutty bitch, don't ever let me see u with derick ever again. He's mine!" One of the girls' were saying.

The girl on the ground had tried a few times to get up but each time they'd kick her back down and call her names.

"Sigh, so much for having a peaceful time at camp" I thought as I stormed over to them.

Crimsons POV

I was crouched on the ground on my knees and elbows and I was in pain. Every part of my body hurt. I was receiving blows from every angle and each time I tried to get up those bitches would kick me back down. I felt so useless. Its not my fault Sheila's stupid boyfriend thinks am pretty. I don't even like the jerk.

"Fuck!" I cried out as I received a blow to my side, sending me on my back. I then closed my eyes as Derick's stupid girlfriend Sheila raised her leg. I was expecting to feel her Adidas strike my body at any time...but it didn't.

I opened my eyes just in time to see a girl with strange purple eyes grab Sheila's hair from behind and pull her back. She quickly spun around facing the person with an astonished look on her face.

"Who the fuck do u think you are? And who gives you the right to touch me with your filthy hands?" Sheila screamed, her temper obviously rising.

"Someone who knows only a coward bitch needs two ugly bitches to help her fight just one girl." The purple eyed stranger responded glancing towards me.

"I'll show u bitch" said Sheila marching over to purple eyes. She swung her hand to give purple eyes a slap but she ducked and grabbed Sheila's hand spinning her around and twisting her hand behind her back.

"Oooow!" Sheila sreamed. Her two friends Mandy and Sanya proceeded to walk towards purple eyes.

"Not so fast" she said while twisting Sheila's hand harder making her scream and drop to her knees. Mandy and Sanya stopped abruptly and stared at each other not knowing what to do. Then purple eyes spoke.

"This is how its going to work, I am going to let miss attitude here go and the three of you are going to disappear. Where? I don't care, just as long as none of u are in my sight. If you fail to do so or pretend to be stubborn little brats I will be forced to move you myself and believe me, you don't want that.

Oriel's POV

I had expected these girls to put up more of a fight...but they didn't. They were gone as soon as I let blond miss attitude go.I walked over to the girl still laying on the ground and tried to help her up.

"Are you ok?"

*No answer*

"Can you walk?"

*No answer*

"This girl must be dumb, deaf or something" I though out loud.

"Which room are you staying in?" I asked not expecting a reply.

"Room 59" she replied.

"Oh wow, I thought you were made without a tongue." I said then it hit me..."what room did you say you were staying in again?" I asked for the second time.

"Room 59"
