~Tamika~
"Girl get up!" Gina kept shoving my around as I lay on the bed.
"Too rough Gina!" I hear Lucy say.
"She sleeps as heavy as a log." I kept my eyes closed, trying my best to fake sleep, since I didn't want to go to tonight's bonfire. They began whispering. All I heard Gina say was, "water." I felt someone tugging at my foot and then someone grabbing my arms; these females are going to put me in the bathtub.
When I heard the shower began to to run, my eyes flew wide open. "I'm up! I'M UP!" I shouted. They put me back down on the bed, and they all burst into laughter.
I shot them death glares but they ignored me and continued laughing, begging for air. "I'm going to take a shower." I grumbled. These girls will give me no rest. I slammed the bathroom door shut behind me, I heard them stop, then they burst out laughing again.
I sat in the front passenger seat, and buckled up. Lucy was driving.
"Are we ready for one of the best weekends of our lives!?" Gina squealed, followed by the others I just groan.
"Loosen up Tami, and enjoy the last day." Lucy started up the engine and pulled out of my driveway. Maybe she's right, I need to loosen up and enjoy tonight. After all today was my last exam, no more studying for a long period of time. I got the aux cord and plugged it to my phone, searching for a song we all know.
Ohhh, the hills by the weekend. I tapped play and turned up the volume. "Ayyyyyyyyeee!" The all shouted. We sang along as we hit the highway. I'm going to forget about Michael and enjoy my night tonight.
It took us an hour or so until we got to our destination, Lucy drove onto a dirt pathway and the ride wasn't the smoothest.
"Are you sure you're going the right place Lucy?" Lacy asked cautiously.
"That's what Google says." She tapped her phone's screen, then continued on the pathway. After a couple minutes of driving we caught sight of a few parked vehicles. "See, Google wasn't wrong." She pulled up beside one of the cars, turned off the engine and we all got out.
Gina inhaled deeply then exhaled, "ahhhh, do smell that? It's the smell of nature." We all looked at her and shook our heads. "What? I'm just appreciating nature."
"Oh waw, we must be living among huge buildings and have never gone to the park." I gasped sarcastically.
"That's different. We're in the forest."
"Hmm," I knocked on a tree trunk "seems that the trees have picked up DNA from where we live, because I see the same thing."
"Tamika. Let me enjoy myself please and thank you." She flipped her hair behind her back, glared at snickering Lacy and Lucy then gave me a sly smirk.
"What?" I eyed her up and down.
"Nothing." She pouted her lip, I shook my head.
We moved to the trunk to grab our stuff. I only saw two tents. "Ehem, why are there only two tents? I thought you guys said you're not sleeping with me."
"Excuse me." Lacy said softly, I moved to the side and allowed her to grab her tent.
"Well I'm not going to sleep by myself either and you know that." Gina showed her ring.
"Well you have a pass, a very narrow one." She shrugged, I turned my attention to Lucy.
"Umm, well-" she began.
"Hey ladies." Paul cut her off as he came to where we stood. "Oh hey babe." He gave her a swift kiss on her lips and frowned, "Lucy what's wrong?"
