Chapter 25: The Campfire Circle Of Awkward

Due To The Unfortunate Incident With The Intercom Which,Just Nearly Got Jeremy Fired...Literally Nobody Knew When The Campfire Was.So Larold Was Like 'Jeremy Go Get All Of These Children DON'T MURDER THEM And Take Them To The Campfire.' And Then Jeremy Was Like 'Okay' And He Held His Word.

'Hey Kids,The Campfire Is At 8!' Was What Jeremy Screeched At Literally Everyone In The Vicinity.Surprisingly Enough,It Worked,And Everyone Was Gathered At The Fire By 8:15.'Okay Kiddos!' Larold Clasped His Hands Together Enthusiastically.Jeremy Was Leaning Against A Tree,Determined To Not Do Anything Stupid.'...Jeremy You Can Go Home Now.' Larold Said Shooing Him Away. Terry Raised His Hand.'I Thought Counsellors Slept Here Though?' Larold Tried To Keep Up His Excited Demeanour.'Hehe,Yes They Are Supposed To! What A Good Observation..T-Terry......?' Terry Realised Larold Was Enquiring About His Surname And He Was Obliged To Respond Accordingly.'Uh,Connor...Mister...'  Larold Flinched.'Aaaare You Okay?' Daniel Asked.Larold Instantly Went Back To His 'Responsible Adult Who Does Safe AND Fun Stuff' Character.'Of Course I Am,Young Daniel!' He Cleared His Throat.'Anyways,Terry CONNOR,They Are Indeed Supposed To Sleep Here,But We Don't Trust A Certain Someone With Night Watch Anymore...' Larold Glanced At Jeremy Who Nervously Chuckled.'You're Right Sir...I Should Be Leaving!' Jeremy Left Immediately.'Okay Today....We'll Be Discussing Families! Specifically Our Families...' Jacob Raised His Hand.Larold Sighed And Looked Over At Him Disdainfully.'Yes,Jake?' 'Firstly Its Jacob,' The Boy Retorted. Larold Was Taken Aback By This Comment.He Tried Again.'Yes,Jacob?' He Nodded In Approval And Opened His Mouth To Speak But Was Interrupted By Ricky.'Jakey,That Wasn't Nice...' He Semi-Whispered To Him.'DON'T Call Me Jakey In Front Of Everyone! Its Embarrassing!' He Crossed His Arms.'Anyways,Where Is That Emo Kid And His Friend?' Larold Was Extremely Confused.He Tilted His Head At Him.'...Who?' Ricky Whispered To Him This Time.'Ohhhh.' Jacob Said In A Sudden Moment Of Realisation.'Yeah,You Missed It.Basically,This 12 Year Old Or Something...Maybe He Was 13 Drove Up Here In A Van With These Two Other Kids,Dropped Them Off And Left.'You Mean Craig And Tom?' Cassidy Called Out From Wherever She Was Sat In between The Clusters Of Children.'I Last Saw Craig In The Woods Somewhere...' Jessica Responded,Meeting Cassidy's Sorrowful Gaze.What Was She So Upset About? Jessica Thought.Has...Has She Finally Realised Her Actions And How It Wasn't Nice To Ignore One Of Her Only Friends After All Of His Effort.PFFT Of Course Not! Teenage Girls Never Admit To Their Real Mistakes.Uh,Yes They Do! Shut Up!You Can't Tell Me What To Do! Man,Jessica Really Hated The Several Voices In Her Head.

Craig Rolled Over From His Position On The Grass,Sweating,His Hand Hitting The Tree Gently.'T-that Was..Amazing..' Craig Was Extremely Flustered.'What Even Happened?' Tom Looked At Him Nervously.'Nothing,You Can't Prove We Kissed Or Anything,We Did It Whilst The Point Of View Was Away From Us.' Tom Smirked.That Romantic Twinkle Glittered In His Eyes.'Hehe.' Tom Got Closer To Him,Preparing To MAYBE Kiss Him For The First..Or Actually 2nd Time But Who Knows?'wHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!' The Flashlight Flickered On The Two.Their Lips Just Barely An Inch Apart.It Was Larold And A Couple Of Kids,Specifically Jacob,Terry,Sammy,Ricky,Cassidy AND OH MY GOD EVERYONES NAME ENDS IN A Y.Jacob Took Out His Phone And Took Several Pictures,The Light Illuminated The Surrounding Trees.Sammy Covered Her Mouth As If She Was Shocked,But You Could See She Was Smiling.Cassidy Didn't Know How To React.'C-Craig...I Thought You Loved Me...' Craig And Tom's Hands Were Still Resting On Each Other's Shoulders,Craig's Hand Trembled Until It Fell Off Of Tom.Craig Stared,Nervous.He Could See The Tears Pricking In Her Eyes.Larold Had Completely Given Up,He Just Decided To Go To Bed.Cassidy Ran Away,Her Tears Flowing Down Her Camp Shirt.Suddenly,Someone Else Entered.It Was Cody.'CODY!' Sammy Screamed,Hugging Him Tightly.'Hey Sammy,Long Time No See!' Jacob Looked At His Younger Brother Disgusted Whilst Ricky's Eyes Were Much Kinder.'Where Have You Been?' Jacob Asked Cody.Cody Rubbed The Back Of His Neck With His Still Bandaged Arm.'I Honestly Don't Know Jakey.' 'DONT CALL ME JAKEY-' A Responsible Adult Entered With A Stronger Flashlight.It Was Blake.'Hey Kids I Think You Guys Should Go To Bed Now.' He Looked Down At Craig And Tom.Craig Was Hugging His Knees,Sobbing His Eyes Out,Tom Was Comforting Him.Blake's Eyes Averted To Craig's Grey T-Shirt,He Had Never Seen It Before,His Sweater Was On The Floor In A Baby Blue Heap.The Rest Of The Kiddos Had Already Left.Blake Offered His Hand To Craig Who Took It.Craig Got Up And Tom Followed.'Come On,Kids,Let's Go To Bed.' 'What Time Is It?' Blake Looked Down At His Wrist.'Its 11PM.' Tom Blinked In Confusion.'But The Campfire Started At 8.' Blake Nodded.'That's True,Just Nobody Bothered To Come Look For You Until 2 And 3 Quarters Hours Later.' Craig Looked Up At Him With His Soaked Eyes.'That Makes...No Sense...'Blake Nodded Again.'I Know Chris,I Know.' Tom Smiled At Him.'I Think You Need Sleep More Than We Do...' 'Yeah,Tim' Blake Yawned.'I Think You're Right...And Here We Are!' He Unlocked The Door And Pushed Them Inside.Tom Watched As Blake Stumbled Away Into The Night.'Hey!' A Voice Called From A Top Bunk.Ricky Was Already Asleep Whilst Cody Was Reading,Jacob Was Giggling At His Phone Which Meant The Only Person Who Could've Said That Was...Craig Looked Up At Daniel JR.

'So,I Heard You Two Kissed? Sweet.'
