It’s around six in the morning, 55 degrees outside. Torri and I are running in the hills of west virginia with the priest shouting at us; with the sun streaming through the horizon over the ridge. All I could remember was that ridiculous smile on my face and the thought that was running through my head. It’s the last four days before we got back home. This would be the last summer I spent in Summer Camp. On the morning of the 27th we are getting ready for the day festivities and the bonfire. We’re wearing clothes that can get soaking wet and stay wet all day. The squirt guns are ready, water-buckets, soap, hoses, and the water balloons. The longest water slide I have ever seen and fun had begun. We practically spent the whole day up until it got dark with that slide and the water balloon game, René and I were walking back to the boy’s cabin to change for the bash. We went ahead and got ready, and waited around the living area for the girls, for the first time since we've been here we were allowed to be in the same cabin with the girls during night time but we had to all go to bed around Midnight. Undoubtedly, the director and counselor trusted us little did I know this would be a night I would never forget. The nine of us were waiting for the girls to come, the girls brave enough to come. They girls came all dressed up and looking stunning and beautiful, while we were just wearing casual clothes. Cassie had brought board games, Kyle had some booze with him, Joey had chips. The night was looking great and promising we played a few games of twisters we all went around the room and talked a bit, but I was standing in a corner with my cup in hand watching the fun. Torri and her friends came up to me we laughed and sat for a while, away from the group. “You know this might be your best chance to talk to her before camp ends,” Torri said. I told her “I don’t want to make a fool out of myself, when she doesn’t even like me.” She

    With the absence of adults, the 19 year old boys sought a night of adventure. “We went up to the lake because everyone went there, because we wanted to snuff the rich scent of possibility on the breeze, watch a girl take off her clothes and plunge into the festering murk, drink…

    Despite the whispers that the boys were saying amongst themselves, the girls were done packing the car, ready for the camping trip. The boys responded together in a sequence “Okay.” Everyone was ready for the most adventurous time in their lives, because there finally adults and can do whatever they please to do, especially for Alyssa. Despite driving for the next 7 hours, Alyssa could finally spend some time with Jake that she always wanted. After nearly a 7 hour road trip with no bathroom breaks, they finally arrived to Lake Otter Sea.

    It was a beautiful July day in 2014 when my family and I were camping at Holland Lake with our family friends Kinsey and Lauren. There wasn't a cloud in sight and the sun reflected off the bluish greenish water. The air smelt of smoke and fresh trees. Early in the morning when the campground is quiet you can even hear the waterfall. Holland Lake is a very busy lake with boaters, tubers, water skiers, ect. Since that day was so nice there were a bunch of boats on the lake the waves were huge. Kinsey, Lauren, Alex and I were all pretty close in age but Alex and Lauren were taller so they get the outside of the tube. When we all finished breakfast I changed into my swimming suit speedy fast and rode my bike as fast as I could to my cousins camper, Alex. I had to wait what felt like 5 hours for her to change. Once she was done we waited for Kinsey and Lauren at ¨The Beach¨. Alex and I killed time by talking about how much fun we were going to have…

    At the Pharr West Club entrance, Marie, nineteen years old, black long straight hair that fell into a V-shape cut in her back, with black pants and pink dressy shirt, stood next to her three best friends. Fernie, Elizabeth, and Johnny, Marie’s best friends, stood anxiously next to her waiting for the club to open. Fernie, eighteen year old boy, with spikey dirt brown hair, dark brown eyes, was admiring his blood red shirt and dark pants. Marie’s nineteen year old friend, Elizabeth, caramel color eyes, in a sparkly blue strapless, mini dress, observed as the evening dimmed out into pure darkness, after waiting one hour for the club to open its doors. Johnny, twenty, the oldest of the group, with hazel eyes and soldier haircut hair, a dark blue shirt and holy pants, was daydreaming of all the girls he would meet at the club.…

    Later, just a couple of minutes before Prep, I sat by the phone rooms, nauseous about how I would break the world-shattering news to Sophie. Ah, my beloved Sophie, we dated last year until she saw Matt Shauman. But I would have won her back with these tickets. Maybe I can say that I was suspended and Max will get them for her, so as not to break her fragile heart. So, plucking up my last piece of courage, I entered a phone cubicle and dialled her boarding house’s number. Brrrr, Brrrr, with numb fingers, they shook like an earthquake, so wedging the phone between my shoulder and ear, my breathing…

    I remember it all. I can still feel the warm summer wind gliding my sun-kissed cheeks. I didn’t usually have all of my windows down while I drove, especially not on the way to my lackluster burden, otherwise known as my job. Today was an exception, however, summer was quickly approaching its end, and I would be once again bound by the chains of high school. I decided to cherish every little bit that I had left. As I pulled in, I thought to myself, “just another ordinary day of work.” Oh…

    The sun shone vibrantly through the trees and I loved the way it complemented the gold leaves. I started to notice the incline to the top of the hill, it was steady unlike the Adirondacks where you go up and down. When I got to the top I saw a spectacular view of the surrounding neighborhoods and way in the distance I saw the buildings of Rochester. As I stood there I admired the pure beauty that lies so close to home. It is hard to believe that a wilderness like this one could be surrounded by suburban neighborhoods. Being higher up and in an open space I could really appreciate the mixture of golds, oranges and yellows it was different than being on regular ground level. I thought to myself ‘’I should do this more often, it’s peaceful and healthy.’’ I felt a certain peace with in me while I’m in the woods, suddenly my phone vibration broke my train of thought. It was my stepmom texting me to see if everything was okay, I replied yes and I’d be back at the trailhead in a short time. The leaves snapped and cracked under my feet on the way back and the crisp fall air made the not yet fallen leaves dance in the trees, it was getting later in the day. I was three quarters through the loop so I was still fine,I wasn’t…

    I grabbed the final bale off the last hay rack of the day and threw it over the side, towards where my brothers were standing. I peel the wet plaid shirt off my arms and back. I flip it around till I find a dry spot on the shirt, which I then use to wipe the sweat from my face. I pull it away and look at it. It was stained with a long, hot, day’s…

    For tonight was the grand finale, the trial by fire. There really was no doubt now that she would get in. She could not think of anyone who had ever been invited into the high school sorority and she was another celebrity in high school, pretty and dark and Vice-President of the Student Council. "You can't say anything unless your big sister asks you something or tells you to talk to someone. And you can't smile, no matter how you're dying to." The girls had laughed a little nervously,…

    I took along my son, who had never had any fresh water up his nose and who had seen lily pads only from train windows. On the journey over to the lake I began to wonder what it would be like. I wondered how time would have marred this unique, this holy spot--the coves and streams, the hills that the sun set behind, the camps and the paths behind the camps. I was sure that the tarred road would have found it out and I wondered in what other ways it would be desolated. It is strange how much you can remember about places like that once you allow your mind to return into the grooves which lead back. You remember one thing, and that suddenly reminds you of another thing. I guess I remembered clearest of all the early mornings, when the lake was cool and motionless, remembered how the bedroom smelled of the lumber it was made of and of the wet woods whose scent entered through the screen. The partitions in the camp were thin and did not extend clear to the top of the rooms, and as I was always the first up I…

    A week later I had returned to school, and it was like walking into a brand new atmosphere. Dirty looks were replaced by smiles and sneers exchanged with hellos. I had even gotten an invitation from Keri Mahan to sit with her and her friends in the lunchroom—which I accepted with a bit of caution. But after I had sat down with them, I quickly realized that none of them had seemed to remember the past all too well or how they’d treated me. They just accepted me as the new girl from Alabama, and that was fine by me.…

    “Okay, that’s fair,” I say giggling. Alana and I stay in the cafeteria for about fifteen minutes. We make jokes, talk about how my role model is Serena Williams and her role model is her father, and we both wonder what’s going to happen when we get back to school. No one caught us that night, because I don’t think any adults would think any ten-year-old girl would be awake at 3 a.m. That night, Alana and I became partners in crime, until we faded away in junior…

    His smile shined like the sun beaming down upon all of us. He gave me the rundown about this place. When he was talking he was cut off from a voice in the halls that pierced the air like a Fighter Jet. He ordered everyone to step out into the hall for a briefing. And with one solid step the whole cabin stepped into the hall. What began after the was an event so horrible, so indescribable I can't even speak of it. Each counselor began to do a very rapid dance to show of their avid minds. After that appalling dance, they called an robust intro our whole cabin marched out the door to the canteen where we would begin our first heinous meal. As time went on meals concluded and the first day with all of its ups and downs concluded but the night has not began yet. The night was silent the only sound I could here was the creaky and scratching of the iron bunks. As my mind faded I slowly began to falls fast…

    It was a warm sunny day, like the ones you would expect in a summer camp; laughter was the melody that filled the air. Everybody was cheerful and enthusiastic, well everybody except one of our counselors. He was very worried, because his sister had been extremely sick, and nobody had been able to heal her. Everybody in my group had told him how sorry we felt for her, but really nobody connected with his situation, so we were not thinking about it. Instead we were immerging our souls into the contentment that was surrounding us. That day while we were acting, everybody was relaxed, focused and happy on what we were doing. We were living in our own little summer bubble. We decided to take a small break, in between the laughs I remember a friend saying “Isn’t it surprisingly amazing how beautiful life can be?”. That was the last sentence said before a cell phone rang and changed the course of the day.…

    Today, was just a week ago I back from England after I graduated from college. The scorching sun hanging high in the sky on this gorgeous morning. I maneuvered my car under the shady tree and stomped on the brakes. My car screeched to a halt and I stepped out of my car. The gush of cold breeze caressed my cheeks, welcoming me warmly to their territory. The sound of flowing water colliding with the rocks in the pierced my ears. "Timmy will be surprised later." I whispered in my mind.…
