Summer Love

chapter 16

*****after lunch

After lunch, the boys and I head to down and out. Once we reach our cabin I hope into my bed and open my journal.

Dear dad and mom (if she reads this),

So far I have had an amazing two days. So when you guys I made one real friend named Riley (same spelling). We bonded at gaphi. Anyways my cabin has forgotten me about fifteen times and it was getting pretty annoying. Wyatt's counselor Quantum saw this and made it so if they ever forget me that I have to find him and get him to take me to where I need to be. He is really nice. I talked to him yesterday when I had a problem and he sat down and talked to me. I told him about anxiety and how I have a lot of phobias. He understood that and told me for this week he is going to make it his mission to watch out for me when something happens to me. Usually I wouldn't let anybody help me the way he wants to help but I feel like I can trust him. Counselors here are sometimes trained to help kids with these kind of problems so maybe this will be okay. Anyways, yesterday Quantum got tired and irritated with the fact that my cabin forgot me everywhere and that me with my anxiety and sometimes panics shouldn't be left to my own resources. I told him that it didn't bother me because I've been going here since 8 years now but he wouldn't take it. He went to Mercury (the boss) and told him the situation. I am guessing this next part was all on Quantum because next thing I know I have switched cabins. I am now in the Pine cabin. Wyatt's cabin. A boys cabin. Its weird. I've never heard of this ever happening but it was okay with Mercury. The rules are that I sleep in the same cabin, I eat and do all activities with them. The only difference is that when we change I go with Quantum and we change in the bathrooms while the boys change in the cabin. So far its really easy so I hope it will stay that way. Its a lot better now to because now I am not always left aloe and I actually have a cabin who will talk to me unlike my other cabin. Anyways that's how my week has been going so far. I miss you guys like crazy. I'll write tomorrow hopefully.

Love Riley.

I put down my pencil and put away my journal. I look around to all the others and see that half of them are sleeping. My brothers bed is right next to mine on the top and he looks at me weird.

"What were you doing?" He whispers.

"Remember when you had Codex and Talon as your counselors and we wrote a letter each for my and da with Codex. Well since then I've been writing letters to dad and mom. I don't know why I feel like it helps me remember what we do through the week so I can say all the stories I have." I explain quietly. He nods and falls asleep. Go figure. I check my watch and see that we still have half an hour until down and out is over. I look down to the bed under me to see what Ethan is doing.

He is still working on that bracelet from this morning. I go to my journal and open it.

WHATCHA DOING? -R

I crumple the paper and throw under my bed to Ethan. A minute later I get my paper back.

MAKING MY BRACELET STILL. WHY DID YOU NEED SOMETHING? -E   

I write back that I am bored and that I want to go to the bathroom. he also has to come with me.

I throw the paper back down to him and wait in my bed. Less than a minute later the paper is back on my bed.

OKAY. I AM BORED TO AND I WOULD LOVE TO ACCOMPANY YOU TO THE BATHROOM.;) -E

I get up from my bed, grab my hat and slip on my flip flops. I walk out the door with Ethan right behind me. We link arms and head over to the hill washrooms. Once we get there I grimace. I hate this washroom. Ethan sees the grimace and looks at me weird.

"I don't like this washroom," I start. "The bugs and everything just creeps me out and sets me off edge. He nods.

"Well I guess we could go to the harmony house bathrooms." He suggests. I smile and we start down the little hill to the house.

The harmony house is a house used for the staff who don't have cabin to watch. People like the leaders of watercraft, rock wall, and outdoor adventure would sleep here. It also used for storage for all the art supplies. There are two bathrooms on the main floor for counselors and campers alike.

Once we got there we walked in and headed to the washrooms. I grabbed Ethan and headed into one of the washrooms. I locked the door and made sure it wasn't the washroom that has a window leading outside where we just were. I turned to Ethan and he had a smirk on his face.

"You could stay away any longer, could you?" He asks. I shake my head and smile. He puts his hands on my waist and pulls me closer. Our bodies are touching and all I can do is breathe in the Pine wood smell that radiates off of him.

He leans down and connects his lips with mine and slowly we move in sync.

I love him. I love that even though we just started dating two days ago we are so in love and we don't care how long we've been together for. I feel safe with him. Something that I haven't felt in  long time. Ethan makes me laugh and I love him for it. I feel at home when I am with him. I wish I met him sooner because then we could tell people that we have been together for a long time.

I let go of him and smile. I kiss his nose. He eskimo kisses me and hugs me really tight.

We then link arms, check that the coast is clear. We unlock the door and make our way back to the cabin to get ready for our next session. Disc golf.

*****I am so sorry for the end to this one. I had a better ending to it that was longer but something happened and it erased. I tried to remember what I said but I just get as perfect as before. So this is what I came up with.
