When I Went To Camp Bandicoot... [A Riley Story]

Before Camp

Hey guys! I'm soooo terribly sorry that I haven't posted in, what, forever? And I just wanted to let you know why. I forgot my password and accidentally logged out, and couldn't find the password anywhere, but we found it! So here's the update I guess, and I know it's been a while but I hope that you all enjoy!!! 👍🏻🤗

I was sitting on the steps when Piper came outside. "Ugh, Autumn! You're always outside on these stinking steps! Why?" "Well, because." "..... Because why?" I chuckled to myself, she was getting upset with me. "Piper, I don't know why I sit on these steps, I just do. Why does it matter?" I asked her while smiling. ".... Well, I guess it just matters because it... it just does okay?!" I turned around and tried to hold in my laughter. Piper hated it whenever she couldn't find an answer. "Besides," I added "Im waiting for--" At that moment Parker and Jayda, some of my best friends, rolled into the driveway. I nodded my head towards them while saying "... for them to come over." Piper sighed and started back inside. "Piper, would you like to come and swing with us?" I asked her. She nodded her head vigorously. My mother and father had recently put up a rule that whenever I had friends over, Piper wasn't allowed to hover. She used to hover all the time, and it got on my nerves sometimes, but I guess deep down, I was okay with it. Until there was an incident.

*FLASHBACK*

Once, whilst me and Parker were sitting on the steps, Piper came outside and heard us talking. We were talking about our used-to-be friend, Olivia (which we called Ollie, for short). It was nothing bad, at all we were just saying how she had been unreasonable lately. Anyways, Piper came out but we didn't hear her, so we were talking and Parker said "Jeez, Autumn. Ollie has been being so unreasonable lately! She totally took your jewelry when we went to the movies last week!" I sighed, "Yeah, I know P. but we gotta give her some space, she'll relax.... hopefully." Somehow, Piper misheard all of that, and she changed the conversation in her head. Then, when we had Ollie over, Piper came in the room to talk some Girl Talk with us. "Hi Ollie!" she exclaimed excitedly. Piper looks up to Olivia so much, like she her real older sister, honestly it makes me jealous sometimes. "I hope you relax soon!" she said happily. Parker and I looked at her, eyes wide. I laughed nervously, "Heh, heh. Time to go Piper, why don't you get some snacks for the girls and me while we Girl Talk?" I tried to usher her out of the room but Olivia stopped me. "No, what do you mean 'relax', Piper?" she was trying to say it nicely to Piper, but I could hear the hardness in her voice. "Well," Piper began, "Parker said 'Jesus Almighty Autumn! Ollie Wollie has been so unreasonable lately!'" "Oh yea?" she asked Piper. I looked to Parker for help and she looked away. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Jayda sitting in the corner of the bed, munching on popcorn nervously. It was obvious that I wasn't going to get any help from those two. "Mhmm!" Piper continued "And then Parker said 'I totally saw her steal your jewelry!' then Autumn was all like, 'She has been acting weird lately, and unreasonable, I seriously hope that girl relaxes soon!'" I glared at Piper, how could she get that conversation so mixed up?! Not even 1/4 of that was true, AT ALL!! "Ollie...." Parker tried. "No, it's okay. If I'm being to unreasonable, and stealing jewelry then maybe you shouldn't be friends with an unreasonable, jewelry stealing, thief!" She turned to walk out of the room, her eyes strained from trying not to cry. "Also," she choked, trying to stop the tears, but failing. "Ollie Wollie, really?! You know that I hate that name! You KNOW that people used to bully me with that name, stooping down to that level? I never thought you could stoop that low, yet here we are aren't we?" She ran out of the room and down the stairs, calling to my mother "I'm sorry Mrs.M but something came up and I have to leave!" Her voice cracking in between, she ran out the door.
