Chapter 12

There was an earthquake. I could feel it in my slumber. My bed was shaking and there was someone shouting at me to wake up. I groggily opened my eyes, ready to hide under my bed but when I opened them, I saw Irwin, Riley, Shane, Tin, Xander and a girl I didn't recognized gathered around my bed like they were having a prayer meeting, praying for me or something.

"Where's the earthquake?" I mumbled, slurring my words a little.

They all laughed. "There's no earthquake. That was just Tin jumping up and down your bed trying to wake you and Irwin shouting at you to wake up." Riley explained.

"Ohkay. What are y'all doing here?" I asked, yawning. I prolly look like shit right now.

"Well-" Tin started but Irwin cut her off by saying, "Get up loser we're going camping."

"Wow, Regina George is that you?" I mumbled.

They all laughed again. "Yea, no. Nice to see you guys though." I said and snuggled my pillow, closing my eyes again.

"Yea, no. You're coming with us whether you like it or not." Tin said, jumping up and down on my bed.

I groaned and got up in surrender. "My parents won't let me camp. I just know it."

"Already talked to them!" Tin said cheekily.

"You're annoying."

"You know you love me."

"Yea, no."

She pouted. I rubbed my eyes trying to wake myself up. I need a shower ugh.

"Get out of my room please. I'm gonna go get ready and meet you guys downstairs" I said and they all got out. I took a shower then got dressed into an orange polo, jeans shorts and lowcut boots. I tied my hair into a ponytail and got out my backpack. I packed a flashlight, blanket, overnight clothes, camera, phone, iPod, earphones, toothbrush, toothpaste, a comb in it and grabbed two pillows.

I paused for awhile and thought of what else to pack when I saw a stuffed Siberian husky toy sitting on top of my closet. The stuffed toy she gave me. I took it and immediate flashbacks started playing in my mind, I smiled sadly and packed it in my pack. Then trudged downstairs.

"Morning hunnie!" Mom greeted me as I entered the kitchen. "I already packed food for you guys." She informed me.

"Thanks." I mumbled and she handed me a cup of coffee.

"Want some breakfast?" Mom asked.

"Uhh. We'll just get her something on the way Mrs. Jones." Tin piped in.

"Ohkay. See you tomorrow hunnie." Mom said, kissing my forehead,

I emptied my cup of coffee and kissed her cheem. "Bye! Loveyou!" I said and we headed off to Tin's mini van. Tin got into the driver's seat and I called shotgun. I leaned on the window slept all the way to wherever.

-

"Wake up sleeping beauty. We're here." a soft voice said, nudging me awake. I opened my eyes to see Shane.

I silently got up and got out of the car. I looked around. We were in some kind of forest.

"Okay. Grab your gear and stuff. All of it. We're leaving the car here." Tin announced.

"Why?" Xander asked.

"We have to cross this forest then there's a lake plus some canoes waiting for us in the middle of the forest. We're gonna cross that lake in order to reach our camping site," she explained,
