Summer Camp Fandom

Chapter 8

I wake up late again the next morning. I cke the time and yell through the room, "Nina you were supposed to wake me--" I stop talking realizing she isn't present. 

Rylee comes out of the bathroom not saying a word, pretending like she hadn't heard a thing I said. She hurriedly gets her sweatshirt and shoes on.

I assumed the way Nina felt yesterday, that she may have used the "trouble-making card" again. She must've done something fairly bad. Bad enough to get her sent home this early or something.

I check the time. It reads 6:21. 

I hastely get changed into the day's clothes, and open the door.

I head out to breakfast with Rylee following behind me.

I find that all the rest of the fanbases have left their cabins already, and I wonder why. 

I see red and blue flashing lights down by the lake, and automatically know that this doesn't seem right. 

I arrive on the shore, joining the rest of the fanbases.

An ambulance, a fire truck, and a few police cars are parked on the grass close to the water. The water is closed off with yellow police tape that connects from two trees. Everyone is panicking except for Silvia. Her face is red and slightly puffy. Black eyeliner runs down her cheeks. She cuffs her hands around her nose and mouth, and sobs out. 

Silvia keeps her head turned toward the direction of the police cars. I finally notice that for once, Jack is not at her side. I start to wonder if Nina really did get into "trouble". 

I look towards the police cars same as Silvia and notice two bead-black eyes staring back at me. I recognize the sharp jawline of a pale face and wet, jet-black hair.

I get an uneasy feeling of uncertainty of what really happened to Nina.
