[IC] Teen summer camp

[smarty0114]

John stood up and took a couple steps backwards. "Dude chill. This is like the perfect place to just watch the sky," John said, removing himself from her grip and lying down on the ground, looking up at the clear night sky.

Derek smiled, "Thanks, seriously" He pulled Kat into an awkward hug, his heart was beating fast.

Jude blushed at the sight of Kenzi, he remembered her as an awkward little girl before, but now she was all grown up. Jude wrapped his lean arms around her, he was a little tipsy, causing him to be a little more handsy than usual.

Hanna raised an eyebrow at John. "Fine. 'Dude' youuu go ahead and sit down and do what you were doing. I dont care." She sighed sitting down on the ground and rolling her eyes at John, as she wrapped her arms around her knees and rested her head ontop of her arms. She did care. Hanna had bad experience with heights. "And I am not a dude."

[Kitty]

Kat hugged him back and smiled. "Don't worry about it. That's what friends are for right?" She said smiling at him softly.

[smarty0114]

John smiled as she snapped at him for calling her a dude. "Just lie down. You feel like your not even on a cliff. It's like you aren't even here. You're just watching. It's almost like you're floating and there's only the stars and the moon," John said, getting lost in the stars that he never could have seen from his own house. His best friend had had a house where you could just lie down on the ground and see everything. He remembered spending many hours with his friends out at that house.

Hanna sighed. "Fine..." she said brushing a little dirt from the ground since she was going to lay down. She layed on her back right next to John, while looking up at the stars. He was right, it was beautiful and it wasn't like if you were here. "Wow......" she smiled. And looked at John. "Im sorry for talking to you like that. I just....dont like heights....Im sorry, John." She said looking into his eyes, she was deeply sorry. She shouldnt ever snapped like that, she didnt do nothing.

[smarty0114]

John smiled, "It's fine Hanna. I get it. There's things that people don't like. For me it's spiders,"John said, laughing at a memory of when he almost ran a mile to get away from a spider that had laid eggs in his treehouse.

[paigesweetheart]

Hanna looked at John. "Oooh. You dont like spiders? I dont like them....If I see one, ill either faint." She nodded giggiling at John smiling at him. "But my thing is. How is a guy like you scared of spiders? I meaaaaan. Look at you. Jock." She poked his shoulder and yawning a bit.

[smarty0114]

John laughed at the compliment. "Spiders are weird as shit. I mean they've got eight legs and eyes and they're all crawly and," John breaks off in the middle of his sentence and shivers then starts laughing.

Katherin smiled amend took the offered hand. She climbed to her feet. She hated the idea of going back. They were probably of an afternoon party, but Zack was probably right it was getting to be meal time. "Alright. I wonder what kind of food they will serve."

"Not sure," Zac replied as the started back through the woods, following the path from before. It was dark now the only light coming from the moon giving the forest a silvery shine in the dark. "Darn, it got dark quick. Hold on." He said stopping and reaching into a few of his pockets. "Where is it?" He whispered before exclaiming. "Ah ha." He pulled out a flashlight, turned it on annd handed it to Katherin then continued walking. "Can you keep a secret?"

Hanna nodded. "They are! And they are so hairrry and just ewww!" She shivered in disgust. "Lets not talk about them no more haha. But I see we have something in common. We hate spiders." She giggeled and sighed looking into the sky. The stars were so bright. "Its getting a little chilly out here."

Katherin was relieved that Zac had a flashlight. The dark didn't usually bother her, but being in the forest in t he dark made her nervous. She took the flashlight carefully pointing it at the path back to camp. She wondered if the other campers were done partying. "I'm very good with secrets."

[Master Crim]

"Well, I brought my bow, it's a compound bow, and I could show you how to shoot it." He asked. "If you want to, you know with you not getting a chance when you were younger." He felt stupid for offering and thought that it made him sound dumb. 'what were you thinking! Her shoot a bow she never even said she wanted to!'

[KatherinWinter]

"Really?!" Katherin throw her arms around Zac and hugged him excitedly. "I've always wanted to learn, but dad said I wasn't strong enough. I would love a chance to try. Althought I probably should wear something other then a skirt when we do it. Luckly I got some shorts I was planning to try some rock climbing this summer."

[Master Crim]

Zac felt a little awkward when Katherin hugged him, and didn't know what to do. When she did his heart had stopped and he was confused at first. From football his initial reaction was to try and shake her off, but was quickly warded away by the fact that SHE WAS HUGGING HIM!
well that escalated quickly. he thought after she let go.

"It really doesn't matter what you wear so long as your comfortable." He stated before adding. "I shouldn't need to loosen it much, I already set it to 60 pounds for target shooting." He paused and glanced at Katherin gaging he strength. "Will that be too much?" He asked. 60 pounds wasn't a lot for him, but he did archery more and it uses muscles that aren't normally used in that fashion.

[KatherinWinter]

"I have no idea." Katherin replied honestly. She didn't know what her arm strength was. She didn't do a lot of sports. A lot of her time was spent reading. She worried that Zack would be disappointed if she couldn't use the bow at the 60 lb. he had it set to. Still she was eager to try. Maybe she would surprise both of them. "I think we should try the setting you have it on and go from there."

[Master Crim]

"Okay," Zac said. "But don't be disappointed if you aren't able to pull it back." He reassured her. "You may be able to lift 60 pounds, but pulling back a bow is a lot different from just lifting something" he paused thinking of the first time he shot a bow and was really embarrassed 'cause he struggled at 60. "but you never know." He shrugged. As they talked and walked they came to the up on the camp again, and Zac turned to Katherin. "Thanks for joining me, and don't tell anyone about this. I dont know if the councilors would be happy to know someone brought a potentially dangerous item here..." he thought a moment then said with a smirk and rolled his eyes. "Other than alcohol."

[KatherinWinter]

"I won't say a word. I wouldn't want you to get in trouble. Nor would I want to lose my chance to shoot a bow. Who know if or when an opportunity like this would occur again." Katherin reassured Zac. She loved the walk. She thought she had made good progress coming out of her shell. Not only had she walked with Zac but they had talk. Not just one or two sentences either. "Thank you for inviting me to join you for the walk. I look forward to trying the bow."

[Master Crim]

"Thank you for coming along." Zac said with a smile. "I will let you know ahead of time when we can go and shoot, but I don't know when due to how they said nothing really about how our days are going to play out here." He said as the started to walk again passing the mess hall. "Once I can find a good chunk of time I will let you know."

[KatherinWinter]

"Sounds good." Katherin wondered what the evening would bring. Hopefully something more then another party. Still maybe she would try going to one of they parties this summer. Just so she could say she had to one.
