That Month at Summer Camp

chapter 3

        You're so lucky! "Shouted Emily, "You get to have Christian in your group."

 "You didn't even see half of the things he was doing to me did you?" She shook her head no. "Well first, I was just looking around and then he came up behind me and said guess who, and then we talked, and when the bell rang, he took my hand kissed it and said I'll see you tomorrow."

 "Oh my God are you serious?" I nod my head. All of the other girls come over to hear the story of my fairytale.  I seriously just met Christian and I'm already in love.

 "Girls, they changed the rules, you are allowed to have your phone during free time. The rest of the day is free time and you can go anywhere you want, but you have to ask us first. You all brought swim suits I hope, so you can go out to the ocean also if you would like. Here are your phones." I decide to call my mom and tell her that I'm alright.

 "Hi mom."

 "Hi honey, is everything alright?"

 "Yeah everything is... great." I hestitate looking for a word to describe how I'm feeling

 "Okay good."

 "We're allowed to have our phones during free time."

 "Oh okay, don't be on it all the time though okay?"

 "Okay."

 "Hey I'm going to go to the other side of the camp okay?" Says Emily quietly. I nod my head at her and wave my hand.

 "So is there a boy?" Asks my mom.

 "Maybe." I'm glad nobody can hear you blush over the phone.

 "What's his name?"

 "Hey, Andrea Christian is out here waiting for you." Emily whispers giddy.

 "Hey mom I have to go."

 "Okay bye honey have fun." I hang up the phone and go outside.

 "Why hello again Andrea."

 "Wow you remember my name." I laugh.

 "Of course. Hey do you want to go and get like a water or something?" Christian asks sarcastically. I laugh. "No um just kidding, I meant do you want to go get a smoothie with me or something like that at the snack bar?"

 "Sure." We start walking towards the snack bar and we are walking side by side. One minute later Christian grabs my hand and held on to it. I blush and he looks down at me and we stop walking for a moment.

 "Andrea."

 "Christian."

 " You're amazing and beautiful, has any guy ever told you that before." I shake my head no, I've never liked a guy this much or feel this much for a boy. "I don't know why, because it's true."

 "Thank y-"

 "Sh." He puts his finger to my lip and he kisses my forehead. "Andrea, I like you a lot, I'm sure you already knew that, but I just wanted you to know for sure."

 "I like you too." I smile at him.

 "I'll think of a more romantic way to ask you out like, Will you accept this smoothie." I laugh really hard.

 "Well that's romantic enough for me."  I continue laughing, he's laughing along now with me.

 "No, seriously, I will do it."

 "That's nice to know that it's going to happen eventually." I blush and he sees me.

 "You're really cute when you blush."

 "You're really cute in general, I'm kind of surprised that you like me instead of another girl, I'm not the prettiest one here."

 "So maybe you're not the prettiest one here, but you're beautiful to me, and you're the sweetest one here, and you're the most understanding one, you don't know what's good about you though do you? You're just simply amazing, and I feel out of all the girls I've ever met, you're the one that is for me. This sounds ridiculous, but I want to love you forever, I want to be that guy in your dreams, and I want to someday wake up right beside you, wake up right next to that beautiful face. "  I have tears in my eyes and I'm nearly crying. He uses his thumb to wipe away my tears. "Hey, I love you."

 "I love you too." I say shaking.

 "Now how about that smoothie?" I laugh, sniffling. We run to the snack bar and we both get a strawberry banana smoothie, both of our favorite kinds. We sit out on the sand and we just drink our smoothies.

 "We don't have to be back until eight. We still have an hour." Christian tells me.

 "Let's just watch the sunset together okay?" We lie down in the sand and I lay my head on his chest while he strokes my hair, all we do is just watch the sunset together until it's all dark and its 7:30. I still don't stop laying there because it's too perfect, I don't want to open my eyes because it might just be a dream, so I just stay there like that for 20 more minutes and then we start heading back towards camp.

 When we are in the camp again, they have a campfire set up for us outside, a lot of people are already there sitting down, so I go and find Emily. Me and Christian stand by Emily and we all sing camp songs together, we all laugh and talk, and wow this boy is all I ever wanted, I just hope he doesn't slip away from me like a lot of other people do in my life whether they're girls or boys.

 Once the campfire is done, The three of us walk back to our cabins. Christian drops me off and says goodnight and kisses me on the cheek.

 When we are inside Emily and I start freaking out.

 "Lights out in 30 girls," Says Nicole.

 "What happened tonight? You guys were gone for so long. What did you guys do? Did he ask you out? He kissed you goodnight oh my god you guys are so cute!" asks Emily all excited. 

 I feel so overwhelmed. " Um well he said the sweetest things to me and he made me cry, happy tears, and then, then we went to the beach and we watched the sunset together and he kissed my forehead and my cheek, he is so romantic. We got smoothies too, it was the best night of my life."

 "I'm so happy for you! You have a boyfriend!"

 "Not exactly. He said he would ask me out I a more romantic way."

 "Aw. That is so cute."

 "I know right!"

 "Girls time for bed." Say the councilors. We all get into bed and I hear other girls stirring at first, but I am fast asleep right away.
