The Road Trip

Lost (CH21)

RECAP

"What is this girl planning now?" Lauren thought to herself as Luke interrupted her thoughts.

"You ready to collect wood for the camp fire?" Luke asked he smiled.

"Ready as I'll ever be." Lauren smiled back but felt a bit un easy of what Cara had in store for her this time.

RECAP OVER

CARA, LAUREN, DANIEL, LUKE, & STUART - 10:34pm

"So Peyton said that the wood has to be  dry for the fire. Most of this stuff is wet though." Cara said as she kicked at the dark ground and pointed her flash light at the group. Lauren looked at her. "Oh really Cara? I had no idea you had to have dry wood for a fire. Woah, mind blowing!" Lauren teased as everyone laughed. Cara rolled her eyes playfully as she moved the flash light away.

Stuart started to pick up a few twigs while Daniel and Luke lifted some logs. "Jesus these are heavy arent they?" Stuart said as he turned around holding three sticks while Luke and Daniel were holding five logs each. Lauren and Cara started laughing to each other, Cara holding onto lauren's shoulder for support. "Yeah Stuart.. they are." Luke said, trying to hold in a laugh.

Cara picked up a log herself now as she hoisted it over her shoulder, snickering at Stuart while he scowled and turned around. "Aww come on Stu-Stu, turn that frown upside down!" Cara beamed as she walked over and turned his frown literally upside down into a smile. Stuart laughed as he picked up a few more twigs and rubbed his forehead with tiredness.

"Do you want help with those?" Lauren asked Luke innocently as Luke couldn't help but smile. "Pfft, no I got it dont worry." He said as he flirtatiously winked. Cara caught this and silently squealed and stomped her feet and waved her fists with excitement as Lauren shot her a look.

Daniel winced as one of his arms hit off a tree, hitting off a bruise from earlier. Cara squeaked as she jogged over. "Are you okay?" She asked as she gently touched his tense arm. She couldnt help but smile at how muscley he was. "Yeah I'm fine." Daniel said as he put on a brave face and smiled at her. Cara took a log off him as he tried to protest but she insisted as she hoisted the two logs over her shoulders. Daniel was amazed at her strength but wasnt really surprised because she was a gymnast after all.

Cara quietly called over Stuart while Lauren and Luke were looking for more dry wood a few metres down.

"Quick now lets go back!" Cara said as they all nodded and quietly ran away.

RYAN, KAYLA, PEYTON AND COURTNEY - CAMPGROUND

"According to the instructions that I do remember, we have to put the pole in the tent first before the flooring things." Peyton said with doubt in her voice. "Which one do we put in?" Courtney asked as she held up two plastic poles. "I guess they're the same." Peyton said as she rubbed her head. "Oh yeah I suppose your right." Courtney said sheepishly. "Where do we put them?" Courtney asked as she fiddled with one of the purple tents. "I'm pretty sure you just stick them in here." Peyton said as she help up the edge of the Tent. It worked and Courtney and Peyton jumped and high fived with excitement.

"Ouch!" Kayla shouted as Ryan 'accidentally' hit her with one of the poles. "Whoops, sorry not sorry." He smirked as he ruffled his hair and yawned. "How long's this gonna take anyways?" He stretched as he sat down on the cooler. "Well its gonna take longer if you dont get your ass up and help me." Kayla snapped.

"Why are you acting so weird today?" Ryan asked as he stood up and picked up the tent. "I'm not acting weird." Kayla huffed. "I'm just putting my guard up a bit." Kayla continued.
