The Day She Went Into Hiding

Chapter 3:  Week One of nursing homes and camp stories…

 THANK YOU once again for reading our  very first story, this is as you can see the third chapter. Included is some more secrets, people and feelings connected to the mysterious camp (with cute boys included) so enjoy..........

Later that week in the nursing home, Alissia and I were in the kitchen eating breakfast, I decided to start the conversation of the camp up again, for some odd reason it didn’t seem to be able to leave my mind. I brought the topic up slowly though knowing the effect it could have on Alissia and secretly for my own benefit. It wasn’t too bad once we got to talking about the boys and the first week of many we had there….

“Do you remember when we got paired up?” I asked Alissia who sat across from me thinking.

“Oh yes I remember now that was when we were in the groups of two girls, us obviously and the boys” she answered nudging my shoulder and winking. She still hadn’t lost her sense of humour.

“Right” I continued, “Two girls, two boys…..

“We were lucky enough to get Connor and Noah, the two boys we met on the flight over. So the day after arrival all the teens involved on the trip were ushered onto a big grass field, behind the cabin area. The field was massive and spread until it came to rest against a never ending forest from the eerie look of it.  We were then separated into the groups and each group was given a map and a list of unusual items. It only included three types of flowers, that just so happened to be our favourite flowers and colours, Alissia and I that is. They were a yellow rose, purple lily and a bird of paradise flower. Alissia and I noticed the unusual list of items and also picked up some weird behaviour from the teachers but we just shrugged it off. We were given the instructions to find these things and were told the impending prize….first one’s back to camp got pick of cabins, apparently each cabin had something wrong with them except one so it was practically vital that we won. We were told the day before that the cabins were for both guys and girls and the group we were given was the one we would stick to for the majority of the time.

So we headed off into the woods thinking that would be the best place to find flowers. We ended up finding nothing. The boys suggested we head back to camp because no one would look there; we got back to find an empty area. We looked around in the usual hiding spaces like bins, under chairs and on the tops of fences and water tanks, that was when I started to notice Alissia and Noah talking a lot more too, I just laughed and kept looking. That’s when I heard….

“Hey guys,” it was Connor calling us over.

“Maybe we could try the kitchen, it’s only around the corner, unless you want to split up,” he suggested but as he was saying split up I was surprised to find him not looking at Noah but at me. Then there was Alissia saying…

“No, if we split up we die” she answered bluntly, looking dramatically serious. I just chuckled as the boys gave her weird looks.

“What….. Oh you guys haven’t seen enough horror movies.” And there was the humour spark that came with being Alissia’s best friend.

I laughed and answered “The kitchen it is then.”   

We arrived at the kitchen laughing as Alissia was trying and failing to imitate a chain saw massacre scene. When entering the kitchen we were all shocked to find all three flowers carefully placed out on a table. They were arranged so carful, that it looked like a set up, but again being the non-over thinking people we were, we decided to grab and dash for the win. We ran outside to the meeting place with Alissia screaming…. “We win, hahaha, suckers, we WIN!”
