Camp It Up!

Chapter 6

Opening days are always so hectic. Especially with all these children who've been cooped up in a classroom for around 180 days, suddenly getting out of school for summer, and making there way over here.

There's always one or two cars that are extra early, before the mobs come in. Penny is wearing a staff shirt, probably taken from Elise's wardrobe, and is guiding newcomers around to the front desk, and to where you check in. I sent Penny down to take care of the paperwork, so:

a) I could welcome them, because that's the only thing I'm good at

b) Jamie is also working at the desk, and I'm sorta rooting for her... I don't know.

"Welcome!" I wave over one of the first drivers.

"Hello! I'm Sandy Jefferson!"

The woman holds out her hand, and I shake it.

"Allison Henry, head of the kitchen." I smile, and help the young girl out.

"My names Georgia." The cute little girl introduces herself to me.

"Hey Georgia! Is this your first year coming here?"

She nods her head quickly, and I welcome her.

This girl was running on caffeine. I direct them to the welcome desk, and the woman thanks me.

"This summer's going to be awesome, Kay!"

"Yas, girl yas!" I overhear two campers talking.

"Hey guys, what are your names?"

They smile and the taller, longer-haired girl says, "I'm Hal, but everyone calls me Hals."

"I'm Queline, but you can call me Que."

(AN: Queline is pronounced kay-lynn, and Hals is pronounced Hals... Duh.)

"How many summers have you been going?"

"Around six years now. Hals is going to be on her eighth year I think... Right Hals?"

She grins and nods.

"Well, it was nice seeing you guys... Go hang out with Penny Fefferman and Jamie Black at the desk."

Hals' expression turns serious. "THE Jamie Black? Like, YouTube?"

I laugh and say, "The one and only."

Man, Jamie must be popular online.

I get Maxine to cover my post while I find this girl.

I open my laptop and type into the search engine 'Jamie Black YouTube.' Holy crap. Almost six million people follow her on YouTube. No wonder she's so popular.

After most of the people are settled, they go put their bathing suits on and take the swim test.

Jamie and Penny already took theirs, so the three of us all just chill and watch them swim.

"So, Jamie, Hals seemed to be a fan of yours."

"I mean, she was cool about it. She didn't scream like this other girl Marie did when she met me. That girl has a wide range, voice-wise, let me tell ya'."

We laugh, and Penny just looks at me as if I was crazy.

Let me take back what we said when I said we helped Maxine and Elise test the other kids. We actually ditched it after half an hour to go work on dinner.

"You guys are going to make great counselors." I grin with pride as Penny helps Jamie to cook the soup tonight. I work on the tater tots and hot dogs.

Dinner was a success. Everyone loved the food, and it was a successful day over all.

I went to go hang out with Elise and Maxine for a fun night, while I put Jamie and Penny (actually only Penny, which I admitted to her once Jamie was out of earshot) in charge of late night patrol until we got back. They're one year away from becoming counselors, so I thought it'd be fine.

-Nobody's POV-

"I am sorry for being a bitch," Jamie started out saying to Penny, after the start of their walk was silent.

"You were being a bitch," Penny says, playfully shoving Jamie. It was apparent that they both had feelings for each other, but wasn't apparent to both of them.

They decided to end their walk for a bit, sitting by the edge of the glassy smooth lake. The coarse sand under their legs.

"It's a beautiful night," Jamie says, reaching her index finger out to the moon.

It was indeed a beautiful night. All the stars and constellations were out, and were reflected on the surface of the water.

Penny nods, and Jamie says, "But not as beautiful as you."

Penny blushes, and it Jamie slowly realizes she said it out loud.

"Whoops, I didn't mean to say it."

Penny looks away, obvious hurt in her eyes.

"No, not like that! Of course I meant what I said! I didn't mean to say it out loud. You're beautiful, Penny." She blurts out, and then covering her mouth as Penny smiles.

"As you can see, I'm real smooth with the ladies." Jamie wiggles her eyebrows when she says 'ladies', causing Penny to laugh, and for them to get closer.

"You really are beautiful, though." Jamie smiles, and they lean in closer. And closer. And closer. Their lips barely graze when the thunder booms across the sky.

"Shit!" Penny yells, and she starts running. She's getting soaked, until Jamie takes off her hoodie and says, "Wear this. We wouldn't want you to get a cold, or be cold, would we?"

Penny frantically says, "But what about you? You must be freezing!"

Jamie shakes her head, lying through her teeth, "I'm fine, love. You're the only one that matters."

"Bull, Jay. You're the famous one."

Jamie laughs, and slides her arm around Penny as they make their way back to their cabin, which is now filled with six other girls fast asleep.

-Allison's POV-

The thunder booms over our 'NSYNC music, and suddenly we stop. "Shit, we need to get back."

Elise borrows Eli's truck, and I drive, since I'm the only actually sober one.

We park in the parking lot, and it's pouring at camp. Maxine zips up her rain jacket, and hops out of the car sprinting madly while laughing. Poor drunk Maxine tripped at least three times before disappearing behind her cabin.

"Sooo..." Elise slurs, "I forgot any rain gear." She giggles, and I say, "Alright Elise. Here's the game plan. There's a towel back here that I'm going to drape over you, and I'm going to pick you up and sprint to your cabin. Okay?"

Before she can say no, I pick her up, and zip out in the brisk, cold Mother Nature we call Takota.

We make it back, and she plops on her bed, too intoxicated to move.

Me being the best friend I am, I undress her, put new clothes on her (AN: to all you pervs, yes, she put clothes BACK on Elise. What did you think was going to happen.), and carry her back to her bed.

Placing a swift kiss on her cheek, I say my goodnight to the woman I love, and run back into the storm.

So..... I got exams tomorrow.... Woopie doodles....

But, I liked writing this story so much, that I couldn't keep on studying without finishing.

Y'all fuckers are lucky I care so much for you.

Because I love you all just as much as I love Chloë Grace Moretz (which is ALOT), Jennifer Lawrence (A LOT), Shailene Woodley (A TON), The Holy Trinity (girl, you are so specials), Troyler (my queens), Channing Tatum (a shitload), Selena Gomez (
