Summer Camp 8. Without me
Adonis's POV Trees, grass, hills, it's all green! It's green all around! And the green is suddenly intoxicating me. It all reminds me of last night. Two bright green orbs underneath thick brown eyelashes. But it's blue now. Blue similar to mine, blue like Andreas. And it looks dull! "What are you looking at? Is my contacts and hair alright?" A worried frown takes over his features. "Yeah...you're looking fine," I say and tilt my face, looking at the far away green hills. What the heck is wrong with me?! "Adonis.." he whispers. "Hmm.." I turn my head back to look at him. "Look, your crush is holding hands with that guy." "Who? Which guy?" I say and look in front to see Andrea and Shane Spencer holding hands. "How dare he!" "Shh..quiet!" The little one beside me giggles. I look at him to take in the joyous sight of deep dimples forming on his cheeks. "C'mon..I need your help now!" I grab his hand and starts walking briskly to catch up with Andrea. "Wait! Wait! I'm not prep
Summer Camp 9. Forget Me
Adonis' POV "Adonis, there's space beside Andrea. Why don't you go and sit near her?" Theo whispers to me, leaning sideways, his long wavy brown wig tickling my arm. "I don't want to," I shake my head. "Why?" He frowns. "Cause, she is a great artist and I can't draw that well. I might feel uncomfortable sitting and drawing beside her." "I see.." he chuckles. "So you really cheated in the competition!" "What about you? What are you going to do now? Can you at least draw a hill?" I ask him. "I can!" He claims rather confidently. "Okay let's see. If your portrait is better that mine, I'll do anything you say." "Okay.." he nods with a mischievous smile on his lips before he averts his eyes to his drawing sheet. Can he actually draw? But he can't be better than me, right? I stare at the lake infront of me and the distant hills behind it. We were on the banks of Lake Pryor which runs through the national park and we were all given the task of capturing the wonderful scenery in a
Summer Camp 10. Someone Like You
Theodore's POV "C'mon Eric! They say you sing very well. C'mon, sing a song for us!" Mr Alberty calls out to Eric through the mike while Eric laughs and shakes his head, sitting beside me. "C'mon dude, don't be shy!" Some dude shouts. Another group of people start cheering for Eric. "E-ric! E-ric! E-ric! E-ric! E-ric! E-ric!" At last, Eric gets up from beside me, laughing. "Okay, okay calm down guys. I'll sing!" People cheer and clap and eventually, everyone goes silent as Eric gets the mike from Mr Alberty and goes to the center. He starts singing the song 'For You' and everybody queitly listens to him. He was actually singing pretty well. So, currently, we are all sitting around the night fire in an open ground, singing, dancing and playing games after having dinner. Earlier in the evening, we together made 14 tents for us to sleep at night and after that Mr Alberty and some guys together made the night fire in the center. Apparently, Eric is Adonis's tent mate tonight, togeth
Summer Camp 11. Green Peas
Adonis's POV "Adonis, dude, are you awake?" Oh God! What the hell is wrong with this guy? What does he want now? "Hey, I know you aren't asleep. Listen, I need to ask you something," Eric says turning on his phone's flashlight and turning it in my direction. He was lying on his mattress and his face was barely visible to me in the flashlight. "What?" I let out a sigh. "Do you like Andrea?" "Why do you want to know?" I frown at him. "Because I'm confused if you like Elena." "I don't like her." "So, you like Andrea?" "Yeah.." He suddenly sits up. "Then dude, why are you playing with Elena?!" His tone was now angry. "I'm not playing with her!" I snap back. "Yes you are! You won't let anyone else come near her. What's your problem?" "Ah fuck! I can't sleep! Can you guys just fight tomorrow morning?" Stephen yells from his corner where I thought he had gone to sleep an hour ago. "Just a minute, bro. We both need to settle something," Eric tells him and looks back at me. "You
Summer Camp 12. I'm Out
Theodore's POV Looking at the eastern skies, I stand quietly, overcome by a kind of tranquil sereneness. Atop the hills, facing the eastern skies, a pale gold light emerges first. Slowly the orange and yellow bright ball begins to appear. It rises higher and higher, very slowly, leading to a party of colors. The whole sight feels like the spell of a new hope. Beneath the hills and a couple of meters away from us, looking fresh yet foggy under the morning skies, lies a vast low lying pasture where a herd of elks are scattering in all directions, along with the spreading light. As the colours in the sky becomes more and more vibrant, I find myself in a soothing state of mind, excited to start the day. The sound of the birds chirping and the gentle breeze coming off the hills gives me goosebumps all over my body. One thing I realise, this camp has given me the opportunity to see and appreciate how wonderful nature is. "Hey!" I turn around to see Eric smiling at me. "You look overw
Summer Camp 13. Why?
Adonis's POV "Sure, there are many ways that you can grip the paintbrush when painting, but there's this one method that every artist should know to get the most fluidity and sensitivity from each stroke," Mr Clark lectures whilst holding a paintbrush in his hands. "Look at how I'm holding the brush. You should hold the handle as far back as you can. This might feel uncomfortable at first, but it provides the greatest degree of control over the brush since it allows you to paint with your whole arm, not just your wrist..." I leave a sigh and place my paintbrush down, staring at the far away hills. This Clark guy is honestly good but I don't want to listen to his lecture right now. I'm not in the mood to learn oil painting currently. After all, I cheated and I'm no good at this stuff. I don't even want to look at these green hills right now. I just want to be back at home. I hate it here! I regret coming to this camp! I close my eyes for a moment and then slowly open it, only to s
Summer Camp 14. Tears
Theodore's POV "What's wrong Elena?" Eric asks me with a frown as I grab his wrist, stopping him from touching my face. "I don't want you touching me. I'm not comfortable with it," I finally spit it out. "Oh..er..okay," he nods. The look on his face says he is irritated. But I was tolerating him for a long time. I can't do it any longer. He takes another half an hour to finish his drawing. The whole time he keeps sighing and rolling his eyes. As soon as he says he's finished, I get up from my chair and walk out of the ground in direction of the tents. I need to find Adonis. I don't know what happened to him earlier. In the distance, I see his figure sitting under that same tree he dragged me to, today morning. I increase my pace and soon find myself running towards him. He looks up on hearing my footsteps. "Adonis, Are you okay?!" I pant out when I reach near him. "Yeah," he nods. I go and sit beside him, still breathing heavily from the little run I made. "I'm sorry about tod
Summer Camp 15. It's gonna hurt
Adonis's POV "Actually, you don't need to think about it." "What?" Andrea looks at me confused. "My feelings changed," I say and get up from the seat. "What do you mean?" She frowns at me. "I mean, I don't like you anymore," I say. Her frown deepens and I feel really awkward as she keeps staring at me in disbelief. "Were you playing with me? Is this some kind of revenge?" "No.." I shake my head. "People's feelings can change. I liked you before but now I don't, just like how you didn't like me before and now.." "I don't like you!" She snarls. "Okay.." I nod. "It's settled then. I'll go and sit in the back," I say and grab my back pack, quickly hauling it on my shoulder. Then I walk towards the back, looking for Theo. I had decided to stay away from him until the camp ended, but I don't think I can do it. I can't bear to see him cry. I can't hurt that poor boy anymore. He is utterly clueless and probably thinks I hate him now. It's just one more day and I just need to control
