  Listen to : little talks by Of monsters and men

After finding the girls in the bus and putting my bag in the little compartment above Charlotte and I started watching a movie in Netflix it was a 7 hour drive so we had a long road Ahead of us, enough time to eat, talk , sleep etc. Maybe because of the fact that Charlotte's a sucker for 2000's rom coms and I'm not but I feel asleep for what felt like a good night's sleep.

Charlotte: I don't want to wake her up guys, she looks so peaceful right now

Ashley: you heard Mrs. Brian nobody can stay in the bus, state laws say that...

Charlotte: I knowwww but still

Lila: Come on guys! I need to pee, Char wake her!

I was dreaming with the handsome Harry Styles, the dream had reached its climax...we where about to kiss after he confessed his love for me. We were only one step away from eachother's lips when a tap on my shoulder woke me up.

" Em, we've hit the 5 hour mark, we stopped at a gas station to buy snacks and go to the bathroom" said Charlotte in hush tones

"Mmmmhmm, just five more minutes please"

" Em, come on we all have to get off the bus, plus the faster we get down the faster you can go back to sleep!"

" Mmmmh coming" I said as I adjusted my body in the seat"

"EMILY DAVIS you better start acting your age" Said Ashley

"Okay I'm up now" I said as I struggled to find my balance after waking up

"Let's go before Char starts reciting one direction"

"Agree"

When we got off the bus the queque to the bathroom was huge, I wasn't urging to go anyway but better safe than sorry. Meanwhile all of the girls where in the line I decided to go to the front and see if they had any gum or mints which I had forgotten to bring.

(There it is!) I said in my head happy when I found mints, but before i could reach for them another hand pulled them from the other side, forcing our hands to touch in the process, I didn't look up but could sense it was a man and something about the warmth he held in this hand made me belive it was Christopher.

We hadn't talked really that much after his parents dinner, it still felt tense. For a moment his bright emerald green eyes looked me in, but before any of us could get a word out of our mouths Char called out for me and so I quicky grabbed a pair of chips and headed my way, I honestly didn't think he would come to the retreart, didn't struck me as the nature type of guy but before I could get to drafed away by my thoughts our teacher anounced that we'd only have 10 more minutes more in the store seeing as we where the bus that was running latest and I still needed to use the bathroom.

A few minutes later we made our way back to the bus , we'd switched places so now I was next to the window I kept looking at it for a while until my eyes gave up on me and when I woke up  a few hours later  we arrived at our destination and from what I quickly saw even with my blurry vision it looked beautiful.

Surprisingly it was a little chilly already, good think I brought more than one sweater, the park had a big meeting area where most of the people where already waiting since we where the last bus to arrive, after we got our backs we where each given a name tag we had to had on the whole weekend, with our names, cabin number, bus, emergency contact in case we got lost etc... for what I understood the first night two nights we'd sleep in cabins then the last night we'd sleep in tents since we where going to explore another part that was further away.

Luckily we each got to choose our cabins and I got mine with Charlotte and Lilia, though we wouldn't spend so much time in them only for sleeping. After registration and the cabin assignment we where allowed to go to them, dropp off our things and then come back for the campfire.

Let's just say I'm not a fan of insects or amphibians so I wasn't so pleased to see a HUGE FROG on the front stairs.

"THER'S A FROGGGGGG" I said hysterically

"Calm down it's not going to do anything to go if you don't to anything to it..." said Lilia

Frog jumps near  to us  [all scream]

"AAAAAAAAAAAA"

[Frog moves to the side and goes into a bush ]

Finally we enter the cabin drop our things in the beds and head out back to the campfire, ours was further away so we had to walk a few minutes, when we got back everyone was sitting down around the campfire, after our teachers explained what we were going to do the next day's everything went silent for a minute, I started to head back to the cabin when I heard a soft melody starting to okay with the guitar I looked back and saw that Christopher who was playing it.

" who are you now...are you still the same or did you change somehow...no matter how I fight it, can't deny it just can't let you go

I immediately recognized the song he was singing, it was one of my favorites by the Backstreet Boys, it wouldn't hurt to stay right?

I still need you...I still care about you.
Through everything's been said and done, I still feel you like I'm right beside you
But still no word from you"

Maybe it was just my mind playing games with me again but I felt as Christopher looked at me especially with those last words, my eyes started to get watery as he went on with the song, and so I quickly stepped away, I refuse to believe Christopher Miller made me emotional, instead I blamed it on the fire.
