The Last Week Begins

We walk along the same path that seemed like the normal routine. Monday, the beginning of the last week. My body seems to be dreading the days ahead. The raging hot sun beating down, underneath that sun, bittersweet memories were formed that were coming to an end. My mind swims as we trudge along and I faintly hear the conversation beside me.

     "Are you gonna enter in the art competition Drew?" Abigail asks with a big grin and I  think back. "You are an artist right?"

     "Yeah." I mumble and she smiles happily as she skips ahead. "I guess I can..."

      "Great! So whatcha gonna draw?" Lucy asks smile wide and evil as the devil.

"I don't really know....." I mumble as I stare at my feet and Lucy sighs as Abigail slaps her back.

"You should enter into the writing contest!" She cheers and Lucy blushes slightly as she rolls her eyes. "Seriously you should!"

"I've been writing over the summer, but I don't know...." She whispers and Drew peers over at them.

"You totally should!" Daisy cheers as she looks at Violet. "Violet is entering in the sports competition, so we all should!"

"What are you good at Daisy?" Abigail asks and Daisy points at her head.

"Smart." She states and Lucy nods as she laughs. "I'm going to enter into the academic competition!" Her smile is bright and cheery as Ms. Tina sighs. "What's wrong?"

"Well..... It's just..... It's Monday..... It's our last week." She says and they each stop and look at one another. The thought of this being the last week seemed to even stop them in their tracks. "I guess it's just a little sad."

"Yeah." They each mumble in agreement and I sigh pushing away from them.

"Hey now! We still have this week left! Let's have some fun!" I shout as they cheer out and we march forward into the morning meeting.

We take our seats on the side the girls usually sit at and watch as the camp director stands on stage. She has a smug smile as she sets down her clipboard and looks over all the campers.

"Alright, good morning, this is the official meeting of the last week of camp! Isn't that exciting?!" She cheers and people shout out as she smiles. "Now, we have several competitions this week, even the normal camp v.s. Campers starting today. Remember that the Camp v.s. Campers doesn't end until the end of the week. On that day we call upon the best group also be ready! Now..... Let's see..... The sigh up sheets are in here, so please sign up to whichever competition you'd like..... Have a great day at camp! Dismissed!" We stand up heading towards the guys as they wave away howling a large box.

"What's up with the box?" Violet mumbles as we walk up and Kenny happily open the box. "Huh?"

"It's our team shirts!" Kenny cheers and we all stare at him as he clears his throat. "Remember, we are the Artistic Misfits! This is our team shirts!"

"I see..." I whisper as I watch his smile fall and he sighs leaning back. "So, what are the competitions today?"

"Well, team competition is tug-of-war, the single competitions start tomorrow with sports." Ms. Tina says smiling an Kenny claps his hands together with a big smile.

"Common Charlie, you can look later, we need to get ready!" He cheers and Charlie sighs as he jumps down and we grab out shirts.
