The Days To Come

*2 weeks later* (July 21)

Sloan's pov:

Aria and I were going camping, and our parents were letting us bring 4 friends, 2 each. Aria, being the nice twin sister she is, was bringing my crush Sophia, since I was bringing her crush John for her. My parents called each kids parents, asking them if they could come along, before telling them when we would leave and be back. I walked into my bedroom, finding my black backpack, so I could pack everything. I searched through my dresser, pulling out the clothes that I wanted to take with me. 

*2 days later*

I heard a car pull into the driveway outside, while I made sure I had everything. I heard a gentle knock on the front door, and I ran down the hall to go unlock it. I opened the huge black door to see Sophia with her two bags. I opened the screen door, letting her in. 

"Hi, Sloan. Where would you like me to put my bags?" she asked me, setting her black bag onto the floor. 

"You can put them in my room if you want," I said, carrying her bag to my room.

We had just gotten to Lake Tahoe where we were camping for the next four days. Sophia helped me set up my tent since I was having issues. Can I tell you how much begging I had to do for my parents to let me share a tent with a girl. My parents told everyone that we're going swimming, so I dug through my bag, pulling out my light blue swim trunks. I changed out of my clothes, pulling my shirt off.

*2 hours later*

Sophia and I were currently sitting by the lake, on the short emerald green grass. The lake was a sparkling blue color and the ripples were teeny. She placed her head onto my shoulder, quietly falling asleep as I rubbed my hand up and down her back. 

Isabella's Pov:

I sat at my desk, working on my summer assignment for school, while my sister was out camping. I took my art project out of my desk drawer, unfolding it. I lightly sketched out the flowers, before going over the lines with a black marker. After I finished tracing, I went onto my Instagram account, scrolling through my feed. I saw a picture from Sloan, my twin sister's crush, that was of him and her on a lake. He was sketching her sitting on the grass. After shutting my phone off, I went over to my bookshelf, grabbing my bucket of colored pencils. 

Megan's Pov:

I sat at my desk in the home office, working on designing my decorations for my bulletin board this year. Sydney was on the floor behind me, coloring on a piece of paper with a box of crayons. Outside, it was dark and gloomy since it was storming. All of a sudden, a loud boom of thunder came, and Sydney who was quietly coloring, started crying. I picked her up off of the floor, gently snuggling her into my arms to calm her down. Once she stopped crying, I took her downstairs since it was her lunch time. I diced up an apple into really tiny chunks for her to eat. When she finished eating, I carried her upstairs, putting her down for her nap.

 Dylan's Pov:

I took my work shirt off, throwing it into my laundry bin. Nash came into our room, as I put on a navy blue tank top. I was so tired from work, since I was there from 9 to 7:30. I went into the kitchen, as Lainey and Reagan came in from boxing. Mom was at the counter, plating the food for each of us. She handed me my plate, and I set it down at my spot at the table, before going to the fridge to get my lemon water. After dinner, I cleaned up my half of Nash and I's room, putting my laundry away.

Bethany's Pov:

I sat at work, editing the photos that I had taken. Elana came by the back office where I was working, packaging orders of senior pictures. I finished the photos, before I printed them out. I put them into an envelope, putting the white label onto the front.
