Hope

Two

Andie woke up a little earlier than the other girls, so she took a short shower and brushed her hair and teeth. She put on a plain grey shirt, which she tucked into some jean shorts, and put her Chuck Taylor's.

When she walked out of the bathroom she saw some girls getting ready.

"Rise and shine!" One of the counselors yelled

The girls that were asleep were now awake and groaning.

"After everyone is ready, head to the vans. We're going canoeing today." The counselor informed before walking away to inform the other kids.

Andie walked to the van by herself until she heard some one run up to her. Andie glanced to her right.

"Good morning Zhen Zhen" Andie says

"Morning" Zhen Zhen replied shortly

They soon made it to the vans where Alex was waiting for Andie.

"Sup dude" Andie says

Andie and Zhen Zhen get pushed away from each other by the dude that flirted with Andie at the Zipline yesterday.

"Asshole!" Andie called after him.

Andie, Alex, and Zhen Zhen walk to one of the vans. Zhen Zhen and Andie sit in the same row and Alex sits infront of them.

Suddenly Dariush opens the van doors and sits beside Alex, complaining about not having enough space.

"Hey dickhead, how about you shut your damn mouth." Andie says

"Whatever you say, hottie" Dariush says

Zhen Zhen and Andie both glare at the back of his head.

"Put y'all seatbelts on." Logan says, as he jump into the driver's seat.

"Psh, yolo" Andie mumbles.

The van pulls out of the camp, slowly making it to the lake.

"Sorry guys, some kids shit the canoe, while shooting the rapids." A lady said

"Aww" Most of the kids whined

"Aye, Cosmo, we're gonna need a second hose down here! It'll only be a few minutes." The lady reassured.

"What? Ain't nobody scared of a little poo." Logan said

Zhen Zhen tapped Andie's shoulder and pointed at the mountains. Andie nodded and followed Zhen Zhen to a trail.

Andie was too far away to hear her brother yelling for her and Zhen Zhen. Suddenly Zhen Zhen trips over a big stick, but Andie grabbed her waist before she could fall. They stare into each others eyes for a minute before Andie pulls Zhen Zhen up.

"You okay?" Andie asks

Zhen Zhen nods and heads to the cliff that was right behind then and holds her arms out.

Andie smiles as she watches Zhen Zhen

"Andie! Help! No! Let me go!" Alex screams

Andie's eyes widen as she runs down the hill, only to see Dariush get punched in the face by someone

"Alex! Are you okay?" Andie yells running to Alex, checking for any injuries.
"What's your name?" Alex asks the boy who saved him.

"Gabriel" 'Gabriel' says shortly.

"You guys are from the camp, right?" Gabriel asked Zhen Zhen.

Zhen Zhen just stares at him before walking to stand beside Andie.

"She doesn't talk much" Alex said

"Do you live around here?" Andie asks, she didn't recognize the boy from camp.

"Uh, y-yeah, yeah." Gabriel hesitated.

Andie raised an eye brow but chose to ignore it for now.

"You know, you know what. That was a lucky punch. Yeah, you know, I have acclimated to the altitudes yet. So, my reflexes are kinda... Sub-par" Dariush says while panting

Suddenly, the teenagers all heard booming. They all look around, trying to figure out where the noise is coming from.

"What the hell was that?" Dariush asks

Everyone's phones start beeping.

"What does it say?" Gabriel asks

"It's the emergency broadcast system" Dariush replied.

"All civilians are to evacuate metropolitan areas immediately, under no circumstances approach any unknown aircraft" Dariush reads aloud.

"It's the next seven eleven" Dariush gasps, and starts panicking.

"We gotta get back to the van. Any one know the way?" Alex asks.

"I do. Follow me" Gabriel says

"Okay. Whoa, whoa" Dariush says cause everyone to turn back around.

"Alright slow your roll Dora the Explorer. This is my clique. Soldiers, out" Dariush says as he turns around and starts to walk away

"Lets go." Gabriel says knowing the three will follow him instead of the other idiot.

Soon, enough Dariush joins the rest of the group.
