Millie's POV

  I wake up with my mum screaming my name. I just put a pillow over my face, trying to ignore it. I don't want to get up. It's the first day of summer break and I'm not going to spend it as I planned. Sadie, my best friend, traveled with her family and canceled everything we were supposed to do this summer.

  She volunteered to help in a charity campaign or something, and left me alone. I was mad at her for leaving ME to help children she doesn't even know. I never liked children, so I didn't understand her wanting to help them.

  The problem is that we (my family) are very close friends of Sadie's family, and my mother talked a lot with her mother and she liked the idea, so she didn't stop disturbing me to get a "job" like this. When she realized that I wasn't going to look for it, she got herself one for me.

  Today is my first day as a child monitor at a summer camp. For three months.

  I grab my phone on the bed side table and turn off the alarm. There are a lot of messages, and two missed calls from Sadie.

Sades: mills!!! why aren't u picking up??
Sades: i have news
Sades: text me ASAP!

  I just put the phone aside, without even looking at the messages. She needs to know I'm mad at her. As soon as I put my phone back on the table, someone knocks on my door.

  "Go away!" I yell, bringing my sheets up to cover my head. I already have an excuse to stay where I am. I'll just tell my mum I'm with a terrible headache. I don't want to go to that stupid camp.

  Ignoring me, my mum opens the door and walks over to my bed.

  "You have 30 minutes to get ready, young lady, or you'll be late." She says, pulling the sheets off of me.

  "Whatever, I won't go." I mumble, turning over, now facing the pillow.

 "Yes you will. Now get ready and come downstairs. I'll drive you." She says, opening my window and leaving the room.

  I should have a car. I know that. But my brother already crashed his car twice, so she doesn't let me get one until I'm eighteen. And my birthday is in two months. But again, I'm not spending it as I planned.

  I frown, getting out of my bed's comfort, and go to my closet. I pick a simple outfit, the first one I look at, cause I don't really care today. High-waisted jeans, a black crop top and my white All Star. After applying mascara and a light gloss, I tie my short hair on a messy bun. Grabbing my bags and my phone, I leave my room.

  When I go to the living room, my mum is already at the door with her purse and keys in hand.

  "Millie, I'm gonna be late for work. Just grab something to eat on the way there." She complains, as I roll my eyes and grab one of the Eggo waffles Ava is eating, while I carry my bags with the other hand. I eat the whole thing in a second, leaving the house and shutting the door behind me. I get into my mum's car and put my headphones on, not in the mood for talking.

  This is going to be the worst summer of my life.

Finn's POV

  I wake up to the loud alarm on my cell phone. It's the first day of summer break. I hop out of bed and change into clothes. This is the last summer I will spend in the camp. My mother owns this summer camp, and I go there every year since I was 5. But since last year, when I turned seventeen, I started "working" there. You can visit the camp until you're sixteen, and after that, you can go there but you have to help the younger kids in some activities. You are sort of responsible for them at some points. My brother did it too, when he came to the camp. I spend the whole summer enjoying and relaxing, the kids are always nice. I'm kinda sad I'm leaving it, but I don't want to do this forever.

  I'm not very responsible, if I'm honest with you. My grades at school are not the best and I don't try getting better at all. My mother put me to work in the camp to see if I started to take some responsibility in life, but it didn't help much. School was never my priority. The only two things that are important to me are music and that damn camp. I love music. I dream to go touring around the world with my band, doing what I like, and to people to like it too.

  The camp, after all those years, became my second home. It's where I met my best friends and is the only place that leaves me at ease. But this is going to be my last summer there. I'm going to graduate from school, thank god, and dedicate myself to my future with the band. This is the life I plan.

  I'm standing in front of the mirror, thinking about my future, when my mother screams my name, waking me from my thoughts, and I go downstairs to get breakfast.

  When I reach the kitchen, Nick's the only one at the table.

  "Morning, bro. Parents just left. Ya know, work stuff. I'm driving you. Eat." He says with his mouth full.

  I just laugh, putting some pancakes on my plate and getting a lot of Maple Syrup on top of them. I wanted to drive myself, but my car is broken. It sucks, cause Nick isn't always in the mood for being my driver and my parents are always at work. My mom works at the camp, so she could take me there, but I don't want to have to wake at 5am when I can sleep 3 more hours. So basically, I carpool a lot.

  When I finish eating, I go grab my bag. I get into Nick's car as he blasts some music, and we go singing all the way. Soon enough, we arrive at the camp. I wave at my mom when I see her, and text my friends.

Finn: I'm here! Where u at?
Caloob: Hey man! Same room as always.
Finn: Ok I'm coming!

  I put it back in my jeans pocket and walk to the dorm. I don't have to ask which one it is, we are always on the same one. It's ours. I stop when I look at the number on the old wooden door: 353. It's here.

This has to be the best summer of my life.
