I strummed on my guitar and hummed along to the melody of Halsey. I messed up and yelled. "What's wrong?" Luke asked peering his head into the room.

"Nothing." I said running my hand through my hair. "I'm going for a walk." He nods and goes back to whatever he was doing. I tie my hair in a messy bun and throw on some jean shorts then walk out of the house.

I look up at the sky and see that some clouds are dark and some pure white. I walk down the streets.

As I walk past shops I look through the windows. I pass a bakery and I smell fresh baked cookies. I close my eyes and take in the smell.

As I browse the bakery I get a text sent to my friends.

Finny Simpson: So when shall we leave for the camp trip? It's been postponed a lot.

My eyes widen. I totally forgot about the camping trip. Before I could respond Em beat me to it.

Emma-Nem: HOLY SHIT I FORGOT!
Me: nice going Em
Emma-Nem: I bet you forgot
Jar: Am I the only one who didn't forget?
Me: ...
Emma-Nem: HAH!!! KNEW IT
Finny Simpson: Um so when we going camping?
Jar: Whenever is fine with me
Me: idk I'm free any time
Emma-Nem: how bout in two days
Jar: sure thing
Finny Simpson: alright
Me: can Luke come?
Jar: yeah, he's chill
Lex-Luker: why thank you
Finny Simpson: XD
Me: see you later
Jar: bye
Finny Simpson: 👉👉
Emma-Nem: bye bitches
Lex-Luker: later

I got off my phone and looked around the bakery. I finally decided on a snooker doodle cookie. Let me tell you. It. Was. Amazing.

I walked back to my apartment and finished the last of my cookie. I lick my fingers savoring every last taste.

I unlock the door and see Luke cooking. "I hope you're hungry." He said as he stirred something in a pot.

"I may be." I walk into the kitchen and see that he's cooking I look into the pot and see Mac and cheese.

"It's nothing fancy, but I haven't cooked in a long long time. So don't judge if it's bad." He chuckled as he plopped some in a bowl.

"Don't worry. I'll tell you if it's bad." I grab a bowl and pour some into the fading red bowl.

"So we should start getting some stuff for camping?" He breaks the silence, except for the suction sound from the Mac and cheese.

"Yeah. Probably head to Cabelas or something." Then the silence fell again. It was yet broken after we started talking about what we should do and such for the camping trip.

After dinner I was too tired so I decided on watching Thor, but I ended up falling asleep. I woke up and went to my bedroom. I then finally fell asleep after checking the time and taking multiple sips of water.

I sat in my room packing my bags for camping. Before we left for college me and my friends planned on going camping, only drama postponed it. But today we head up there. We decided on taking my truck and Finn's uncle's trailer to store food and stuff.

I packed some leggings and shorts and other essentials. "Hey River!" Luke yelled throughout the apartment.

"What is it?" I asked walking into the living room. The room was turned upside down.

"Have you seen my phone?" I facepalm myself in the face.

"Why didn't you have me just call it?" He looks at me and smacks his forehead

"Stupid. Stupid. Stupid." He smacks his head and some of his hair falls in his face. I pull out my phone and call him.

We hear a faint buzz and I look at him. His face looks guilty as he pulls it out from his back pocket. I glare at him as I smack his arm "You are so stupid!" After smacking his arm and leaving little red marks, I finish packing.

"WE LEAVE IN TWENTY MINUTES LUKE!" Even though I've only known Luke for a couple weeks he has somehow wormed his way into my friend group.

He shouts back an answer as I search the kitchen for drinks and food. I pack everything in a cooler and carry it down the stairs. On the last flight I almost fall. Thank you Luke for totally helping. I put everything in the bed of my truck and get in the front seat.

I pull out my phone and pull up siri. "Face time Finny Simpson." For once in my life siri actually works.

"Hey there." He says answering the call. He looks like he's loading stuff in the trailer. "Hey there water!" Jason tells from the background and I laugh.

"Hey. So who's riding with who?" I rummage through my car box searching for CD albums.

"You and Luke are picking me up." That made my heart beat faster. "Then Alex, Jason, and Em are taking Alex's truck with the trailer." I just nod.

"How's Panic! At The Disco, Green Day, Taylor Swift, and Hyuna?" I look up from my CD pile and giggle. His smile grows bigger as he laughs in a sexy way.

"That's fine. See you in ten minutes!" He then ends the call and I think the horn. "I'm coming!" Luke yells as he throws his stuff in the bed and hops in the passenger seat.

"That's what she said." I was dying at my own joke and so was he. "You ready?" I asked him and he only responded by blasting Don't Threaten Me With A Good Time. I turn turned it up higher and cruise down the street riding to campus.

We sing along to the lyrics as I drive. My fingers tapping against the steering wheel. Once at the campus we got out and I led Luke to Finn's dorm.

I walk into the building and wave at some of the guys, me knowing some of them. Once reaching Finn's door I take a big breath. The last time I came to visit him I have him a card. I knocked on the door and his obnoxious roommate answers.

"Well, well, well. Hello again River." He says to me, leaning against the door frame. He has a smirk plastered onto his face. His green eyes studying my body up, and down.

"Ike." I cross my arms as I glare at him. His lanky structure blocking the door from me.

"What brings you here? Finally accepting that I'm a sexy God?" I roll my eyes as he wiggled his eyebrows.

"No, not ever." His smirk fades. "I'm looking for Finn, we are going somewhere." I say matter of factly.

He just sighs as he opens the door even letting me in. As I step inside the messy room, the smell of B.O. and pizza fill my nose and I cringe at the smell.

I turn to the right and see Finn shoving stuff into a duffel bag. "Heyyo." I greet him with a smile.

He looks up frantically looking around until his eyes set on me. He gives me a genuine smile back and says "Hey."

"Ready to go?" I ask him as he zips up the bag.

"As ready as I'll ever be!" With that we link arms and walk out the door to my car.

This is going to be one heck of a trip.
