__________________________________________________________________________________________________

It's been a week since we met Ryder and Aarold. Since then the 6 of us i.e. Andrew, Zach, Syd, Ryder, Aarold and I have been hanging out together almost every day.

Today we were gonna meet at the park with our parents. Our parents had already met once and all of them had bonded well.

Mommy and Daddy took us (Andrew and me) to the park in the car. We reached there to see that the others had already arrived. I quickly went and hugged Syd and Zach while Andrew gave the boys bro hugs and gave a firm handshake to Syd. I don't know why, but they both don't like each other at all. Not even a little. I just ignored them and went towards Zach who had already started playing.

"Aury be careful not to fall again" mom shouted.

Oh God, why did she need to shout and say that!

I gave her a nod and proceeded.

We all started playing games until we got bored of the same games. So we decided to take a break and just lay on the grass. I had my head in Andy's lap while Syd had it in Zachy's. Ryder and Aarold were lying beside us.

"Hey, guys! I think we should do something more fun!" I said, out of nowhere.

"Like what? Jumping in ice-cold water," Aarold said. He was bored too.

"Yep! We can do that if we go camping," I replied, getting up.

"Would our parents allow that?" Aarold asked.

"That, they will allow if some adult assists us," I replied.

"Hmmm."

"So all of you are up for it?" I asked.

Everyone nodded or replied with a 'yes.'

So we went to where our parents were sitting.

"Mommy, Daddy," I said, grabbing their attention.

"Yes honey," Daddy replied.

"We are getting bored and would like it if we could go camping..." My voice became soft in the end.

"Yep! You can all go if the other's parents agree," Daddy replied.

Everyone agreed except Aarold's parents.

"Please, Mom!" Aarold said, begging.

"No!" She replied.

"Pleeeeeease..." Aarold said again.

"Alright, but on one condition," she said, this time, grabbing our attention.

"Anything," Aarold replied.

"You'll be stuck with me and Damon."

Damon is Aarold's father.

"Okay," Everyone replied.

"But where will you go camping?" Someone asked, I think it was Mrs. Anserson, Syd's mother.

"Oh! no worries Christina," Mrs. Dalsy said, "We have a house in the woods. The place is in the forest near the outskirts. It is amazing, trust me. I don't want to reveal any more secrets."

"So it's final?" Aarold asked.

"Yes! We are going camping next Monday. Damon and I will pick you guys up in the morning, so be ready kids! And we will return a fortnight later!" She said delightfully.
