Fireflies

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

I put on my pink skinny jeans and my band tee, I thought I looked okay I I looked fine and I was on my way .Although I was not in the mood I got my things and got on the bus. This isn't the thing I would like to be doing during my whole summer .I don't have anything to do anyways .The bus was crowded ,and loud, a sight I did not want to see ,but this is what I was forced to do . It's not my fault my parents are going to Hawaii all summer and leaving me behind at a dumb camp.

As I stepped out of the bus I saw the unexpected ,I saw the ugliest looking camp , I guess my parents don't really care but I'm stuck here for the rest of the summer with a bunch of people I've never ,ever ,in my whole life seen before. I'll just hide in the shadow and sleep in the restrooms, maybe no one will notice. I don't really care if I don't talk to anyone I'll just stay under the radar ,I don't want anyone to pick on me or anything like that.

As I unload my things I see blonde girls, with perfect curls, rosy cheeks and bright orange lipstick, come towards us .I think they look like clowns, their whole face is covered with makeup. While I use no makeup #All Natural. "OH hey ....I've never seen you guys around here, and, um for your information, we run this place, so yeah," one of the girls said smacking their lips ."BRUH, excuse me, who do you even think you are," I said covering my mouth "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, "um okay ,bye ,"she said putting her hand on her hips and walking away, trying to look cute . I walked towards a short man who would lead us to our cabins, I hoped and prayed to not be stuck with anyone like them, and if I did I would literally die .Apparently I got cabin 11 and that was the cabin right next to the woods, great I could run off into the woods whenever I wanted to well that's good.

I opened the creaky door and walked inside, there was holes in the roof and a window was missing .Before I could complain the short man was gone. I unpacked my bags and organized my things besides the most decent looking bed, which was still really, really ghetto.

It was late at night and no one else had walked inside cabin 11 well I guess that's better, no roommates, yep I was all by myself .I covered the uncovered window with a ghetto bed sheet and hung up band posters, well this would be my summer home, I mean the least I could do was make this room look decent.

I took out my I pod, popped in my earbuds and my jam came out.

'Forgiveness this taste but all poisons my mouth

I scream but nothing, nothing will come out

You've gone too far'

At least I have music to keep me company for these, long, long months.

They call us out for lunch ,I walk out and I see everyone with someone they know ,well I don't know what to do ,I mean I don't want to look like a loner .So as soon as I get my sandwich I walk back into my cabin and start listening to music. Yes the temptation to start singing whenever you listen to something you like, well the temptation got the best of me, and I start singing like a hyena-whale. I hear a knock on the door and with a shaky voice I ask "who's there," oh hey, um is that you singing?"." um," I say "maybe" .I open the door ,and there standing before my eyes is the single most adorable boy I have ever seen in my entire existence." I think you sing really nice, "he said smiling, "thanks "I said. "See you around, "he said. "Bye" I said, aww has so cute.

I closed the door and smiled, ahh he is, he is, oh my goodness, he's gorgeous. But, every amazingly beautiful boy has a girlfriend, well, I shouldn't stop praying and hoping for him to not have a girlfriend well, I don't know.

Here, and now I start singing again ......

Whoa, oh

Look at what you've started here

Whoa, oh, oh, oh

No, I just can't take it anymore

Look at what you've started now

Whoa, oh, oh, oh

Right now, I hope this makes you nervous

The short guy comes knocking on my door saying that we are going horse riding ,I'm not so excited about that, because I didn't want to see certain people. I arrive to what I see is a muddy stable ,with poop all over the floor .I soon get on a horse ,and actually this horse was the best looking horse around, and I get to ridding .There I saw that girl with her ghetto horse ,I wondered what her name was. While I was eyeballing her, I lost control of my fabulous horse and I fell in the mud, wait a minute this aunt dirt, this is horse crap, yep here I am covered in dog crap, in front of everyone .I stood up and smiled, and I laughed with everyone else, but inside I knew I wanted to cry, but no I am fine.

I walked into, and turned on the water, but nothing would come out, I tried every other shower, but they didn't work either. I went outside and got a hose and shampoo, and I took a shower, don't worry I had all of my clothes no.I didn't feel like being with people anymore so I walked inside my cabin, and but on some clothes that did not have any horse poop and I opened a book.

I look at the clock at I see that it is barely 6:45 well ,I'm bored ,and I have only been here for about 2 hours ,I don't have a good feeling about this .I walk out ,looking for adventure ,I walk out there's a lady giving ice cream ,well ice cream is good so I went to get some ,and there I saw him ,with her ,about of everyone it had to be that girl ,seriously ,my chances with him are at 0.

I went back inside, ugh seriously, this has been the worst day ever it just can't get worse, and there is no way. I went to the restroom brushed my hair, and got ready for bed, even though it was only 8:30.

When I least expected it a teenage girl with curly brown hair came in .......

"Hey," she said, "my name is Alexandra, and yeah I'm your roommate"

"Oh hey, my names Elizabeth," I said embarrassed

"Well this got awkward 'she said smiling "I'll just organize my things, and um I like your posters, there fabulous, I'll just stop bothering you now, sorry"

"no "I said "you're not bothering me ,I actually really appreciate your company ,mean I'm quite a loner ,and if you need help with anything just let me know "

She smiled and walked out, well that was mysterious.

There's a broom, resting on the top bunk, I grab it, I need to clean this place yup, and it looks like a dump. After all of the spider webs, which were really impressive, were gone the room looked so much better, I could even see potential in it, ~shed tear. Luckily I had brought 10,000 band posters to post all around the cabin. I dusted out a bookshelf with the broom and put so things on it like books, clothes, and shoes. I took out a book, yes a book, I am so bored, and reading it I fell asleep, or so I thought.

As a sleepwalker I waked to the door and bumped my head right there, ow ow ow, I fell to the floor, awake, and cranky .I tried to go back to sleep, but I was far too tired to fall asleep. As the adventurous person I was I decided to walk outside, and I saw fireflies, thousands of them, fireflies everywhere .I went outside ,They were trying to teach me how to dance , while giving me a thousand hugs ,and they were good at it ,but everywhere they went ,there were teardrops ,and before they left I got some and put them in a jar. And as they left I began to weep.

I woke up ,whoa ,that was the most realistic dream I had ever had .I stood up ,and saw that the song fireflies was playing on my iPod. I swear ,I thought this was real but I guess it wasn't .I looked at the floor and there I saw it the jar of fireflies ,I pinched myself ,I knew I wasn't dreaming .
