Spring Break is just in three days and I told my mom and dad I can't go home because I'm going camping with the guys.
Dad: Alright. Be safe. How's is you and Asa?
Me: Great! You'll meet him summer break!
Mom: Is there an adult? OMG! You have a BRITISH ACCENT!
Me: REALLY! Of course! My drama teacher Ms. Jameson! She's awesome!
Dad: Yes you do! Oh, the one that went with you on that scavenger hunt?
Me: That's the one!
Man, it's three months since then and they still remember and I picked up the accent! I miss them a lot, but I love it here too! The best of both worlds!
Mom: Have fun! Bye!
Me: I will! Bye!
Dad: I love you!
Me: Love you guys too!
I log off my face chat thing and finish packing for camping for the entire week in the outdoors! Iris had trouble accepting that there is no electronics on the trip and you can't bring beauty products! She'll live. Let's hope.
I get my medium suitcase and big camping bag and hurry to meet everyone by the fountain!
I hurry and wait for Iris to hurry her butt up before we waste all our time and we can't go swimming in the lake.
Finally, she comes with two giant suitcases. Oh boy!
I walk over to her and make sure of something, "Iris, you do know that we're only camping the week not a month, right?"
She laughs and says, "Oh I know. I we were camping a month I would pack more!"
Ms. Jameson comes and looks at her phone sadly and says, "Kids, I can't go camping."
Iris seemed happy because she threw her bags to the ground and yelled, "YES!" We look at her and she rephrases and says, "Why?"
A small tear falls down her face and explains, "My brother got in a stupid car accident and now I have to go to Italy where he now lives. I'm so sorry."
Asa steps up and says, "Don't be sorry. Is there anything we could do?" That's what I love about Asa he cares too much to see pain in his friends and enemies. I love him.
"No. I love you all. I'm sorry!" She said running to her car.
We wave goodbye to her jeep that was supposed to be us in there, but this is more important than a camping trip.
We all sit on the edge of the fountain for a couple minutes in complete serenity. It's so quite since everyone is living their life out and the only people here are just a of workers.
Rider pops to life and says, "Let's go to the pool!"
I look at everyone's lit up face and we run to the schools out door pool!
Iris and I run to the locker rooms to change and we friendship cannonball into the pool and we play so many games like pig, chicken, horse, Marco polo, rings, sharks, and so many more.
After a while I sit on one of the sun chairs to dry off and rest for a bit since a got a small headache .
Asa sits next to me and says, "I love it here!"
I look at his blue eyes and say, "We live an awesome life!" I sit up and ask, "You're coming to America for the summer to meet my parents?"
Asa touches my chin and says, "I would never miss it." He kisses me and Iris and Rider make kissy noises.
"Oh grow up!" I said jumping into the pools splashing them.
Yet once again we play for another hour until it got dark and we hurry to shower and get dressed to have a cook out and a bomb fire. It's going to be awesome.
I quickly get dressed into dark washed shorts and a pretty, butterfly, white blouse. Then I go out to meet the guys by the woods where the grill is.
While Rider starts the steaks Iris and Asa play something on their guitars while I smile at the fire. I feel happiness everywhere and I love it. I hope this feeling never ends because this is something that I don't want them to forget.
"JESS!" Rider yells at me snapping his fingers in my face, "Hurry up before we eat everything!" Rider pointed to the food that smelled good and I realized that I spaced out for a long time.
I hurry and eat some awesomely seasoned steak and lamb! GOSH THIS IS HEAVEN!
"I can't wait till next year and we can do this!" I said savoring an awesome bite.
Rider laughs and says, "Well all of us except Asa."
I look at Asa and he looks at Rider angrily and I ask, "What?"
Asa looks at me sadly says,, "Nice going Rider."
"You had to tell her sooner or later!" Rider said sitting down with some lamb.
Asa and I get up and take a walk to explain why my boyfriend isn't coming back.
Once we were gone from then I look at Asa and say, "Explain. Explain why Rider said you're not coming back."
Asa looks at his feet and explains, "I love you so much, but I'm leaving to start my acting early and I got a movie job!"
I sprint to life and hug him, "ASA I'M SO PROUD!! I LOVE YOU!"
Asa laughs and says, "I know, but filming is going to take a year and a half and it starts right after summer break."
I knew life was too good to be true. "Hey, we still have summer together!" I said trying to make things all better even though we both know that it's not working and that he'll be gone and I won't get to see to see him in a year. I guess that's what you predict in a school full of talent.
We walk back and I pretend everything's all right, but Iris knows me too well to know that I'm breaking inside and I can't be fixed. I love her and hate how she can read me so well at the same time it's hard to keep track.
That night I go onto the roof of our dorm where I set a sun chair and a some soft relaxing music to look at the stars by myself in complete serenity and I love it.
"I'm such an ass." Rider said sitting down next to me.
I look at him and ask, "How did you know I was up here?"
Rider shrugs and says, "Well I saw a girl with a heavy sun chair and a radio walking up some stairs and I saw Iris go to her dorm so I really don't know how!?"
I laugh and say, "You're not an ass for telling me. I had to know at some point. How long did you know?" I ask wondering how long he's kept this from me.
Rider thinks and replies, "Last month."
I wipe a tear off my face and say, ¨I'm going to miss him more than...I don't know." I relax in my chair and look at the thousands of stars in the sky that feel so close, but are so far.
"They feel so close yet so far." Rider said looking at Orion's Belt. Beautiful.
I get up and say, "See you tomorrow." I wrap up my chair set it to the side of the roof and grab my radio.
Rider gets up and says, "Tomorrow."
"Mañana."
