Floyd's POV

"We're going to go look for a couple of twigs and stones to start a bonfire." Nicole said before dragging Aur with her into the woods.

"Watch out for the evil spirits!" I yelled out after them.

"Shut up Floyd!" Nicole shouted back. Revenge is going to be sweet.

Matt and I stayed behind, finishing putting up the tents. The sun was blazing hot, no doubt it was in the 100• range. Not even the waterfall below our camp site cooled the air down.

The suns rays beat down on my feet and I instantly regretted not changing into vans or converse. The leather of my Doc's was boiling my feet. I wouldn't be surprised to find I had blisters. To top it off I was wearing dark wash jeans.

"Matt!" I groaned. I was bent down tying the last part of the tent. I could feel a bad sunburn coming on. There was a tree to the left of the tent I was tying, but it was only giving shade to Matt's side. "MATT!"

"Whatcha want Woodstock?" Matt popped his head out from inside the red tent he was in.

"Lets jump into the fucking water man."

"Not yet. When they come back." He yelled, going back into the tent.

"Why!? You have shade you ass hole!"

"Stop whining Floydster. There's sunblock for your fragile skin in my orange backpack." The little dick was making fun of me.

"I'm not trying to peel, you dickhead." I shot back chuckling.

I walked towards the van parked a few feet from the tents. I pulled out Matt's backpack. 70 SPF. Nice. I squished the bottle. Fuck, too much. I slapped the white lotion onto my arms and face. It smelled like banana. I sat there on the floor of the van, my legs jutting out of the door. Earlier, before even being near Walmart, I managed to down a Redbull and then a Full Throttle in the same hour.

Once we hit Walmart, which wasn't more than another hour after, I drank a Monster. The powerful energy drinks that I was not used to having in my system were starting to kick in, full on. My hands twitched a little and I had the urge to run around. I need music .

Reaching over the middle seats of the van, I clicked the radio's buttons. Nothing good... I guess my phone will do. I connected my phone to the radio with an AUX cord I kept in the glove box. One of my favorite songs came blaring out as soon as my finger pressed the shuffle icon.

🎶 Baby you should know by now that I'm right, for you.

But every time that I step to you, you change, your tune.

Sweet wheel of death keeps us holding our breath.

I step to the right, you move to the left.

Unless no one else.

I'd rather die to myself...🎶

Satisfied with the music, I shoved the container into my back pocket and walked back to the tent, a little hop to my step.

"Take it or leave it!" I sang along to the music. I saw Matt laughing at me from the corner of my eye. I made an obscene gesture at Matt with my junk. Suck it .

I started to pull out the food we stopped by to get at Walmart. I began by ripping the ice bags into the cooler Matt thought we should pack in San Francisco. Closing the lid I noticed that Nicole and Aur had been gone for a while. They better not be lost.
