Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice, and most of all, love of what you're doing."

"Don't forget to call us when you get on the train." my mother said as we were out in the parking lot. My parents were leaving to go back home this evening while I was going to stay the last couple days. I didn't want to leave Keith yet. That and we never had the conversation about what was going to happen to us when I went back home.
"I know mother." I rolled my eyes as I hugged my mother.
"Now don't get too close to Keith. I would like you to stay pure."
"Dad!" I yelled as my cheeks got red. How embarrassing! Good thing Keith wasn't with me when he said that. "Love you sweetie." he said kissing the top of my head as he got inside the car.
I waved at them as they drove off leaving the camp parking lot. I gave a light sigh before walking back to meet up with Keith. I wanted to be with him as much as I could. Even though I was here with him the entire summer, we never had time to really get to know each other.
"Baby!" I hear Keith's voice from behind me. I turn around just in time for him to pick me up and spin me around.
I started giggling at how silly he was being. "What was that for?" I questioned as soon as he put me back down on the ground.
"I wanted to do that." he laughed. "Plus I am inviting you over for dinner at the house with the entire family." he smiled.
"Really?" I questioned. What about his dad?
"Yes, and I know you're worried about my dad. But don't worry about it. After everyone pretty much left the gym he apologized about how awful he was towards you and me. He is on a better mind about us. He seemed truly happy for us."
"Well I guess if he won't be mad at me. It was killing to know he hated me." I frowned.
"I don't think he hated you, I think he was just upset that for once, I was thinking about something other than volleyball. Out of all of us kids, I was the only one who truly stuck to it. So he depended on me to continue it."
"Well I guess if he's happy then that makes me really happy, to know your whole family approves of us." we then kissed lightly before I backed away.
"What?" his eyebrows scrunched together.
"I have nothing nice to wear! All I have with me are shorts or yoga pants. I don't want to meet your family looking like a slob!" now I really panicked. I have nothing nice to wear.
"Dylan calm down. I'm sure Lilly can find you something to wear. Speaking of her." he said walking around me as I see Lilly and Joseph holding hands talking. "Lil!" I hear Keith yell getting her attention.
"Yeah?" she then smiled at me.
"So Dylan is joining us for dinner and has nothing but volleyball stuff to wear. Think you can lend her something?"
Then I see her eyes sparkle. Oh that look doesn't look mischievous or anything. "I have the perfect outfit!" she then grabbed my arm. "Dinner is in two hours that means we have to hurry and get ready!" she then started pulling my arm away from Keith.
I only saw him laughing with Joe. "I'll see you later." he smirked.
"I'll get you back!" I yelled before turning around as we walked a little ways towards the Brisbane household.
Dinner was nearly going to start and I have been showered, make up put on my face, my hair was done and now I was looking at myself in the bathroom mirror with the outfit Lilly had picked out for me.
