The Camping Trip

Chapter FOUR

~FOUR~

"Are you sure?" Amber asked Gina after Amber had asked for a foot rub. I was disgusted at how Amber treats her friends..or I should say posy. I watched as Gina got on her knees and soaked Amber's feet in a bucket of water. She slowly massaged them while they were in the water and I honestly felt sick.

"Why aren't you ready yet?" Deirdre asked as soon as she stepped out of the bathroom.

I let out a long sigh as I suddenly didn't feel like leaving the cabin. "Sorry, I was just thinking, maybe we shouldn't do this."

Cassandra just came back in the cabin and when she saw me she stared at me with wide eyes. "Why aren't you ready yet?"

"I just asked her that." Deirdre interjected.

So here's what's going on. The boys and girls want to get drunk tonight. Don't ask me how they even snuck alcohol here because knowing the boys, they somehow have a way for everything. Since it's still the first night and were not scheduled for any activities till tomorrow, the teachers have allowed us to wander around a little but no too far.

So now I was contemplating whether or not I should actually go through with this, I mean what if we got caught.

Cassandra walked to our closet and threw me a skirt and a tee. "C'mon get ready, I won't take no for an answer."

I rolled my eyes at her dramatically and took the clothes she threw at me, and began wearing them. Ten minutes later after I was dressed and had let my hair down, I was ready.

As we were walking out the door Amber spoke. "Um where the hell do you think you're going?"

"None of your flapping business." Deirdre shot back and me and Cassandra both laughed as we walked out the cabin. I looked at my phone to see it was only 7:12 PM.

Still plenty of time before our curfew.

Cassandra had spoken to the boys earlier and they gave her directions as to were to meet them. I hope it wasn't too far away from the base of the camp. We began climbing rocks, walking across the lake and then finally we arrive. My breath was taken away at the beautiful scene in front of me. Their was a fire lit which had the boys surrounding it. The beautiful lake water looked so crystal clear and reflected the beautiful bright moon that was shining down on us. You can see the stars from here.

"What took you so long?" Todd asked us, as soon as he saw us.

Both Deirdre and Cassandra looked at me pointedly. "Ask her."

All the boys turned their attention to me waiting for an explanation and when I didn't talk, Logan spoke. "Well...?"

I huffed as I began explaining. "I didn't want to come."

"Why not?" Paul asked. I don't even know why my brothers are here, yet seeming worried as to why I didn't want to come.

I folded my arms. "Because I'm worried if we get caught, I wanted this trip to be fun and it won't be if we won't be allowed to do any of the activities."

"Don't be a party pooper." Jacob said, "Were far away from the base, they won't find us."

Me and the girls joined in the circle, surrounding the fire. The boys had set up logs for us to use as seats.

From the corner of my eye I saw Brody staring at me. The shadow of the fire had half his face covered. I gave a nervous smile as our eyes connected.

Paul had a plastic bag beside him which was full of beer. He tossed one to each of us, including me. What weird brothers I have.

I opened the can and brought the can to my mouth, as I parted my lips to allow the fluid to enter I grew very nervous. This is the first time ever for me to drink, what if I choke from the taste, or worse, what if I act really stupid and do something I regret.
