That Month at Summer Camp

Chapter 5

"Alright, so today we're going to continue with the surfing lessons and training, this time let's not have anybody almost drown." Ian rolls his eyes and everybody stares at me. All of us go to get our wetsuits and surfboards.

 Emily comes up to me. "Hey, I saw you went to bed early last night, is everything okay?"

 "Yeah, everything's fine, I was just resting from the accident earlier."

 "Ugh, I still can't believe you weren't awake for him to give you CPR."

 "If I was awake then he wouldn't have done it," I laugh.

 "True that. Anyways you should probably get with your group to start, you're sort of behind."

 "Good point, see you later," I wave goodbye to her and she waves back.

 This time when I get in the water and start paddling, I make sure that I'm doing it right. Once I get up everybody cheers me on from my team. I fall back into the water but then get up right away so that way nobody worries about me again.

 "Nice job," Christian smiles at me.

 "You recovered miss Olson," Ian says while I wonder: miss Olson, why not Andrea, but whatever. "But keep trying." I secretly roll my eyes at him and head back to the water.

 Once a few hours pass, we head back towards our cabins and I decide to just talk with Emily for a while because sometimes it's good to take a break from boys.

 "Hey again," she says.

 "Hey."

 "So, what's up."

 "Um nothing," I laugh.

 "Wait, I know you probably don't want to necessarily talk about boys right now but can I ask you something and give you a suggestion to be flirty."

 "Depends," I smirk at her.

 "Well I'm going to tell you anyways. You should ask him to trade phones for a day and take crazy selfies on each other's phones!"

 "I'll take the suggestion I guess."

 "Yay yay yay yay."

 "But let's just talk right now, not about boys, like what is your favorite thing to do?"

 "I actually like music."

 "Do you play guitar?"

 "I'm learning how."

 "Same, we need to take the classes together!"

 "I agree," Then we both hear the bell ring which means we have to go to lunch." Emily and I continue talking during lunch about our interests and comparing and contrasting what we like.

 After lunch Emily pushes me towards Christian whispering don't forget the phone thing.

 "Hey," Christian says.

 "Hi," I smile.

 "What was Emily whispering about?"

 "She gave me a suggestion to switch phones for a day," I laugh.

 "For you and me? I think we should do that." 

 "Hm okay," I smile.

 "You know I'm in love with your smile."

 "Thank you," I blush.

 "We switch phones starting tomorrow when I see you," He kisses my hand.

 "Okay." I leave the mess hall with Emily trailing behind me asking tons of questions. I see Ian on top of a bench getting ready to give us all a speech of some sort. Everybody crowds around him and then he starts.

 "Alright so starting today in thirty minutes, we are going to be doing one sport per week there will be four sports total since most of you are staying here for one month. We will still be doing surfing and the other activities, but we will also be focusing on the sports now," Most of the guys high five. " This week's sport is soccer. Your councilors will have all of your supplies that you need in your cabins, go and get ready in your team shirts and other things, and we'll see you back here in thirty minutes."

 I go to the cabin, and there are cleats, socks, and shin guards on the ground. I pick up a pair of socks, shin guards and  size eight shoes. Everyone else gets ready and then we head out to the field and get with our groups.

 "Hey you look hot in a soccer uniform," Christian winks at me. I have my long brown hair tied up in a ponytail and my shirt tucked into my shorts.

 "Thank you," I say back to him.

 "Alright, I want you to show me what you guys know first," Yells Ian to everybody on the field. Everybody starts dribbling around and then some people do tricks, but there are some people that have no clue what they're doing. I have been playing soccer since I was ten, so I know what I'm doing out here, Christian looks like he's doing pretty well too.

 "Alright not bad people, some of you have got this covered and some of you need some work, but that's what we're here for.  Now, we're going to learn the positions and what they all do and then we'll scrimmage."

 Ian teaches us about offenders, defenders, sweepers, and goalies, and then pairs us up with other teams to play against. We get to verse the pink team.

 I get put as an offender and Christian get's put as a defender.

 Ian blows the whistle to indicate that we can start playing.

 Our team wins nine to three thanks to the amazing goalie that we have on our team.

 "So, how long have you been playing for?

 "Since I was ten," I answer back.

 "That explains a lot," Christian says. "Anyways, see you later."

 "Okay," I reply back and go back towards my cabin to find one of the girls Hannah in there.

 "Hey Hannah," She glares at me and rolls her eyes.

 "Look, I see what you're trying to do with Christian okay, it's not going to work, he won't ever ask you out, get off his level."

 "Oh you haven't heard the news? Sweetheart he already did ask me out," I say being a little bit of a smart ass.

 "We'll see how long that lasts," She rolls her eyes at me again and walks out of the cabin with her blonde hair, still in a ponytail from soccer, swaying side to side. Dumb blonde.
