As my sister-in-law stood up in front of us, the tension was clear. Her disappointment was evident. "Why? Why would you guys stoop to that level?" she questioned, combing a hand through her chestnut locks.

I dropped my head, staring at my hands. Honestly, what the fuck was wrong with us? No.. what was wrong with me?! Why would I tell the others to do it, I will never know.

"Mrs. Clarkson?" my best friend raised her hand beside me.
"Not now, Emmy, I don't need you to attempt an excuse for this." she sighed.
"I was just wondering what our punishment would be.. sorry miss!"

"Oh! That. Oh yeah, to make up you guys are spending two months at a camp to work on a musical with Orion House." she explained. "I already talked to the teachers at Orion, and there is no getting out of this. Unless its an urgent matter." Two months with Orion House.. two whole months with Theo... I didn't mind the sound of it.

"Oh and don't expect to be with your friends, we already have rooming arrangements. You guys are lucky because this is a beautiful campsite. I doubt anyone else would do this." When she met my gaze, I looked away. "Anyway, that was all I had for this lesson. Finn, set up a game of SpaceJump and dismiss them when you're ready."

I nodded, standing up as she left the classroom to talk to my brother outside.
"Okay, you know what? We're not playing SpaceJump." I grinned, earning a groan from the class. "We're playing Death In A Minute! So get into groups of four and start the game!"

The younger kids had literal sparkles in their eyes as they grouped with their friends. Emmy and two pre-teens were forcing me to join them, so I dropped into Emmys lap as the first group stood up.
"Your scene includes a roadtrip and spicy soup!" I called to them.

By the time Mrs. Clarkson had come back, I was choking myself on the rough carpet floor, causing the children to laugh.
"Oh! Hi sis'!" I grinned up at her.
"I'm still furious with you, Finny." she chuckled as she held out her hand for me.
I gratefully accepted the offer and stood beside her.
"I have the notes for the camp, make sure they're back in two weeks at the latest."

As we reluctantly collected our permission slips, I glared at my sister.
"I'm guessing I've already been paid for?"
"Exactly. Love you too, broski."
I shook my head and caught up with Emmy outside.

"Still wanna get boba tea?" I asked, linking my pale arm with her almost white one.
"Oh yes. Maybe this time Theodosia will be there so we can bully his arse." a very much evil grin invaded her features as we walked to the Japanese convenience store.
