Summer Camp

Chapter 12

"Hey! Are you done showering Lola?! We all need to shower too ya know!" Sevaline shouted, banging on the bathroom door in the cabin.

"I'm done! I'm done! Just give me a sec to put some clothes on!" Lola shouted back from inside. The girls were all getting ready for bed, for it was now quiet time.

"When does Natalie get here for cabin talk again?" Val asked, strumming her guitar she had brought from home.

 "Not long now. I don't think we'll all be able to shower tonight." Mindy pouted.

 "I'm out! Are you all happy now?" Lola teased.

 "Our of what?" 

 The door opened, showing Natalie entering. 

 "Nothing. Lola just wouldn't hurry in the shower." Debra said.

 "Ah. You do know that there's three showers, right. They're just on the other side of the cabin." Natalie pointed.

"You could've told us that earlier. Anyways, let's start this cabin talk! You joining us Jevine?" Sevaline asked, looking up at Jevine's bunk, where she has been sitting silently.

"I'm fine here." She said, not looking away from the long stare she was holding. They all didn't push any further , and sat together.

"So, how are you all liking camp so far?" Natalie asked.

"It's really fun, as always. I can't wait until we go hiking next week though!" Mindy said excitingly.

"I like just watching the lake. It's so pretty if you get the right angle." Val said.

"What are some things you guys want to do while you're here?" Natalie asked.

"Well, it would be nice if-"

The girls continued to talk, and Jevine sat there, deep in thought of nothing. She just wanted everyone to go to sleep so that she could sneak out again. Luckily, the last fifteen minutes went by quickly, and before she knew it, everyone was asleep.

She slowly got up and put of her bed, making sure not to make the slightest sound. She got out of the cabin and looked around to make sure that there was no me around. She then saw a silhouette of someone walking towards the cabin. She quickly his behind a tree and waited until she could get a clear image of the person.

That's when she realized that it was Shane, walking up to the cabin with the bottle Jevine had given him. She quietly ran up to him and got his attention.

"What are you doing out here?" She asked sternly.

"I can't reach my back! I would ask someone from wolf cabin, but you told me not to mention anything of what happened!" Shane defended.

Jevine froze at what he said. She didn't know how to react. She didn't know if she should be annoyed, or grateful.

"Just... Just follow me for now." Jevine said, continuing on. Shane followed her all the way back to the same river where she took him earlier.

"Shirt up. I'll put on the rest, then you should be fine." Jevine said. Shane turned around and pulled up the back of his shirt and Jevine rubbed the fading red spots with her killer. Once she finished, she rinsed out the bottle in the stream and sat down.

 "Are you ok? You seem off." Shane said, sitting next to her.

"You don't know me, so how can you say that I seem off?"

"There's just that vibe you get. Did no one mention it to you earlier? It seems like you've been like this for a while."

"You can say that. It's nothing major. Just... I'm not used to being listened to. Or speaking long sentences to anyone other than my brother." 

"So, I'm making you feel weird?"

"A little, but I don't mind. I know that in really do need to talk to other people and stop mourning."

"Well, I can help with that I guess. So, why'd you sneak out tonight?"

 "To be alone. But you made that impossible." Jevine groaned. She got back on her feet and walked a few steps away.

 "Are you coming or not?" She said, turning back. Shane snapped back to earth and got up with Jevine. They slowly walked back to camp grounds. The night was still young, so they didn't go directly back to their cabins. They walked around, looked over the schedule for the next day, and sat by the lake.

Once it grew late enough, they returned to their own cabin and went to sleep, awaiting for the next day to arrive.
