Camp Time - Night 1

It was the middle of summer as the bus made its way up the long stretch of mountain path. This was going to be a two week trip full of nature and learning with five expert teachers and twenty-five willing students. Well... almost all of them were willing. Edith June sat in the back of the bus trying to drown out the overly exaggerated and fast talk of the two annoying cheerleaders in the seat beside her and in front of her. She had heard it all before and although the threats were sometimes funny, the issue was getting out of hand.

"Mimi, will you please give it a rest? We broke up, end of story." A deep voice said in front of Edith.

"You stay out of this. You broke up with me to be with that slut." Mimi said, flipping her brown hair over her shoulder.

"I broke up with you because you kept waking me up in the middle of the night with drunk phone calls and asking me to pick you up at nightclubs."

"You're so old fashioned. I told you when we got together that I wanted an open relationship and you agreed."

"I was taught that an 'open relationship' meant that we were open with each other, no secrets."

"Even I could have told you that that wasn't the case." Edith chimed in.

The boy the voice belonged to sat up and looked over the seat at her. He made a face.

"Well a lot of help you were, then."

"I know a lot about your life, Day, but I try not to get involved in your relationships because there's way too many of them."

Daymond (Day) Hailey was Edith's next door neighbor and had been since elementary school. They were secretly best friends due to the fact that Daymond was higher on the social ladder than she was. Edith was considered a Goth whereas Daymond was a jock, even though he really didn't play any sports that she knew of. They talked often but she tried not to get involved with his relationships because a lot of them ended with feuds between girls and Edith didn't want to get involved with any of it.

Besides, it was boring half the time and just showed Edith the desperation of being accepted. Edith didn't even want to be on the trip to the forest, but Daymond had begged her to go for company. He said that Mimi and Nika were going to be going and he wanted someone civil to be there to help him keep his sanity. Now Edith understood what he meant, but it still didn't make the journey any less annoying. At least the trip would be somewhat interesting and Edith liked science, so getting away from home for two weeks may not have been a bad thing.

"And I was like, 'Jason, do it again!' and he banged me like six times in a row. It was so magical."

"You're so lucky. You always get the hottest guys."

"You're disgusting."

The two girls turned to the seat beside them as the red head looked up from her book. The black haired beauty made a face at the other girl.

"What did you just say?"

"I said that you two were disgusting. Are you really happy about your conquests and just giving your virginity away?"

The young Asian girl laughed. "Check it out, Valerie: virgin alert."

Valerie laughed. "You only think it's disgusting because you haven't had any, have you, Liberty?"

"So what?" Liberty said with a nonchalant shrug. "I feel comfortable in my own skin; I don't need someone doing me to make me feel special."

"Aw, that's what virgins say." Valerie's friend, Winter, said with a mocking look of pity. "It's so sad that you think that way."
