Isabella's POV

Week 1


"I spy something blue!" Will, my 12 year old brother shouts from next to me on the back seat.

The last 2 hours my family has been playing 'I Spy' in the car on the trip to the famous Mack Jacks Luxury camp resort and let's just say it's getting a bit annoying for me.

Dad takes a turn down a long dirt road before replying to Will, "Ummm, the sky?"

"Nope! Guess again."

My best friend Megan looks at Will, "My t-shirt?"

"Nope!" Will replies once again.

"Please can we stop this game now! It's seriously getting too much for me!" I sigh and lean my head against the window, looking out at the expanse of land rolling by.

When my parents told me last week that we're going to Mack Jacks in winter rather than summer like we normally do every year, I wasn't that impressed. I mean who in their right mind would rather go camping in winter than in summer?

On top of that,by going in winter I won't meet up with the friends I've made that come every summer to the resort. Which basically means I don't know anyone there besides my family, my best friend Megan who I invited to come with and my ex boyfriend Josh along with his parents that happen to still be close friends with my parents. That's another thing I hate about this trip.

Why did my parents have to invite the Braisons? Josh is just going to try convince me to get back together with him. So I will do everything in my power to stay as far away from him as possible.

Our parents all went to high school together so Josh and I were inseparable growing up.

Then when high school came along we decided that we should just try dating. But then I caught him cheating on me with a girl from another school.

So I ended our 6 month relationship and didn't even want to be friends with him anymore. He's been relentless at trying to get me back and convince me that he made a mistake but I'm not giving in.

To be honest I'm not really interested in dating anyone right now. I'm a senior next year and I really need to improve my studies and make sure I get into a good university rather than worrying about a boy who might end up cheating on me.

"Okay everybody! We are finally here!" Mom announces from the passengers seat.

Thank goodness, I don't think I could handle even one more round of 'I spy' before I go completely crazy.

Dad drives through the big front gate of the camping resort and makes his way to the plot where we seem to set up camp every year we come here.

Driving down the long brick road I love looking at all the other camping plots to see the different ways people have set up their campsites.

Some make use of tents, others prefer caravans and then there's a few who have their RV's parked there.

As we turn another corner, two plots away from where we set up, I see a tall lanky boy with brown curly hair, trying to set up a tent but not really succeeding.

At the sight of him lifting up the tent and looking really confused, I stifle a laugh and smile. At least that lightened up my mood a bit.

Finally we arrive at our plot and within seconds have unpacked and began to set up our tents. The cold already nipping at my fingers and nose reminds me of why I actually don't want to be here.

Mom and dad have their own tent, then Will and Josh are in the other tent, Megan and I are sharing a tent and then obviously Josh's parents are in the last tent.
