Profoundly soon to my own alleviation, we will be going camping. It's part of a school trip, and isn't mandatory of course; however, Nathan and all of my other friends are coming too. The trip is going to transpire as of tomorrow; monday. It's obviously already Sunday, and I'm anxious. Going on a school camping trip is just the particular thing I need to ease my stress. Not that it is unbearably high, but it's good to relax every now and then.

I've already gathered all of my clothes, and other items I might need when camping. In actuality, I finished all of the things I needed to do yesterday. Now everything is good and ready to go, much to my relief. But now I'm getting so excited, I am starting to get curtly impatient.

The next day, I awake early in the morning to arrive at school right at the correct curfew I scheduled ahead of time. To my own surprise, I manage to promptly put my suitcase in the back of the bus, and I meet Nathan, Adam and Jessica. The good thing is, Jessica is able to sit across from our seat due to the lack of space. The way we are arranged is kind of sophisticated. Or at least it is in my own opinion.

Nathan has the window seat, along with me being in the middle of the two. That's perfect, I'm cramped in between the two of them. Oh well, I guess I can deal with it. The noise in the bus is quite a vehemently loud. It's comprehensible how people would get noisy in such situations. The thing that's difficult to me, is how evasive things get when trying to ignore the annoyance of the uproaring people talking. Things quickly get silent, to my own surprise as the teacher demands them to do so.

"Okay everyone, so there are several rules you must be aware of, and must obediently follow. The first one is, keep your noise level low enough for the driver to think straight when driving. Second is, if you're going to listen to music devices, keep them at an appropriate level. Otherwise we'll have to confiscate them until later. Third is, I recommend you don't drink or eat. The road is undeniably bumpy, so you will no doubt about it spill something. Those are basically my only rules. Thank You for your attention." The teacher says in a firm voice, so I'm assuming that mostly everyone heard.

I avert my gaze back to its normal position. That is mostly outside. I can still manage to get a perfect view of the outside where I'm sitting. I discreetly catch a glimpse of Nathan who is placidly gazing outside too. He looks gorgeous when I look at him up close, of course I have taken such initiatives before. He kind of looks exhausted in a way. But at the same time, he doesn't.

Nathan notices me secretly staring at him, and he smirks. I guess he'll never change his confidence regarding his appearance, or maybe it's because of what I think about it. I hastily look away while flushing, due to my own embarrassment. I try to conceal it to the best of my ability.

To no avail however, Adam notices and says, "Are you okay Katie? Your face looks red. You're not sick, or something are you?" He says with a sheer look of concern visible within his face. "N-No I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me." I say sheepishly. Nathan is being oddly wistful. He looks like he's in a different universe, or spacing off into one. It's unusual for him to be so quiet, usually he'll be the one who creates, or starts a conversation.

As the bus finally moves, I automatically realize that the teacher was indeed correct when explaining about all the 'bumps' in the road. We hardly even moved, and we already have experienced several bumps in the road. Indeed no one has attempted to eat, or drink anything.

As we start accelerating quicker, the bumps increase. The most recent one was so powerful, I accidentally socked Nathan in the arm. I can tell he tried to conceal any sign of pain. I know that I indeed punch very, very hard. I apologize to him swiftly, and he says it's fine. Though for some reason, I still feel bad.

The space between the three of us is very limited, making me ever so comfortable. Not that being close to them makes me this way, but still! The noise is unsurprising and loud, I didn't expect people to keep their voice levels low anyway.

There are a few things we learned before the camping trip. The trip is approximately seven days, or a week. Not very long in my opinion, but that's a perfect amount of time. We are going to be assigned cabins, and the boys and girls will obviously be separated. There are several cabins because obviously, there won't be enough room for all the girls to fit in one cabin and the boys to all fit in another.

The homeroom teachers will bring their class in a big group together, meaning all of us will be together. I don't know if I could bear being without them, as I am too shy to introduce myself to someone else.

I'm quite aroused to be able to feel the crisp air around me, as I take in all the beautiful surroundings. I haven't been camping since I was ten. That's a long break up until now. Sometimes I just like to sit down, and draw my beautiful surroundings. Of course now, I probably won't have time to do so, unless there's an activity that has such required actions inside of it.

The whole entire ride up here has been completely awkward, and I have not the slightest apprehension why. It's especially concerning me that even Adam is completely silent. Maybe they find it pointless to talk when both of them can hear. I can't seem to correlate these conflicts within my heart. Why is it that I have feelings for both of them? Why can't these feelings suffice easily? Nevertheless, all of these conflicts swarm around inside of my head, while they still remain unrefuted.

Within about a few more hours worth of time, we finally reach the camp ground. Finally that awkward silence, and crowded conflict is gone!

Thanks again for MilkyProductions, who again provided me with this wondrous idea! I appreciate it a lot. Sorry if you thought I didn't give you credit! I did! Anyway, please review! I know she hardly said anything, or did she even say anything? O.o, oh well. Still review please.
