Iris lives with her twin brother Cameron, her mother and her father in an average three bedroom house. There’s nothing special about the family. Her mother is a stay at home mum, her father works at a restaurant as the head chef. The two siblings work there as wait staff. At school, Iris falls in the middle ground of classes. She doesn’t fail but she doesn’t excel, except for maths class, where she does extremely well.
Elliott rolled out of bed a full hour after he was supposed to with a groan, his eyes still glued together by sleep as he slammed his hand on the alarm on his bedside table for the umpteenth time. He yawned, heading into the shower. Ordinarily, he would just go back to bed but he had plans and if he didn’t stick to them, Noah would kill him. He had blown off far too many plans lately and this was a big one he knew he couldn’t miss. Standing in the warm shower, Elliott wondered how he had been persuaded to go camping in the first place. He wasn’t exactly the active type any more, preferring instead to stay indoors and glued to electronics and Wi-Fi. Rubbing shampoo through his hair and soap over his skin, he quickly finished off his shower and stepped out. No matter about that now. It was too late to back out.
Dressing quickly and warmly, he pulled on his walking boots and scooped up the heavy backpack of equipment before locking up his dorm room and heading down to his car. Noah and Bethany were at a different university campus altogether and he would be meeting them at the campsite they’d chosen. Stuffing his things in the boot of his car, Elliott programmed his sat-nav and set off. The woods were a good hour and a half away from his campus so he was certain the other two were already there.
The car ride was dull and uneventful. There was almost no one on the road at six am in the morning but that made things much easier on his sleepy mind. As he expected, Noah and his half-sister were there and waiting, leaning against their car. Bethany looked as pretty as ever, even without the usual make up she wore. There was no need for it when they went camping. Elliott parked up, getting out and retrieving his things. “Morning guys…” He greeted with a sheepish little smile. “I know. I’m late.”
“We knew you would be. We’ve only just gotten here ourselves.” Noah grinned cheekily. The only time Elliot was ever on time was when Noah told him an earlier time than when they were meant to meet up.
Elliott swore softly under his breath, realising what had happened. He yawned, slinging the backpack onto his shoulders. “Where are we going then?” He asked, hoping they didn’t have to hike too far. The morning mist still hung in the air and he wasn’t sure how easy it would be to hike in such poor visibility.
“This way.” Bethany led the way, navigating with practiced ease. She was the youngest but she was their best navigator, naturally skilled with a map and a compass. “It’s not too far. About fifteen minutes away if I’ve done my calculations correctly.” Elliott groaned but nodded and followed. “Shush, Ell. It’s not that far. You’re lucky Noah won the rock paper scissors game. I would have chosen a spot way further in.”
