บททั้งหมดของ Summer Camp: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

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

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

Adonis's POV When I step out of the bathroom after taking a long shower, Theo is sound asleep on the bed on his stomach, still in his black georgette lace dress, his sneakers lie beneath the bed and his brown hairpiece lies on the bedside table along with the bracelet he wore today. I walk to him and stare at his tired sleeping form. Yes, my dreadful wish came true. He and I got to spend one more night together. All the rooms were double rooms and mostly everyone paired with their first day’s roommates. I don’t feel like it happened by chance, rather it seems to me like my destiny or doom. Cause, why would the teachers let us share a room again even after seeing we are now so close? Like, why are they so unconcerned? I mean, I’m a teen guy and he is a cute girl here. Extremely cute now when he is a guy. I kinda love this black dress on him. So pretty, just like a doll. Gosh! I need to stop thinking such things! Pulling myself out of the trance, I bend down and gently slap his arm.

Adonis's POV "Adonis! Adonis! Look there.." Theo whispers to me pointing at a rock. "What's there?" I frown, bending a little to take a better look. I couldn't see anything. "Shh.. there's a small bunny behind it. White and brown. Fluffy! I wish I could touch it," he says and quietly starts moving towards the rock. I couldn't help but smile, watching him go to catch the fluffy bunny he was talking about. Just as he reaches near the rock, the rabbit suddenly jumps out from behind it and starts hoping away in a frenzy. I don't know what caught my head at that moment but suddenly I start dashing behind the rabbit, shrugging my back pack off my shoulder and dropping it on the ground. "Adonis!" I hear Theo shudder. Then the next moment, I hear Mr Alberty's voice shouting at me to come back. But I don't stop. I keep running behind the rabbit. In a few seconds, I hear another man's voice which I soon recognise as one of the two forest officers'. I could also hear heavy footsteps follo

Adonis's POV I glance at Theo as he sit there a little away from me with his full concentration on his sketch book. He hasn't even tilted his head once or looked at me after we sat down to draw the portrait of the grazing herd of deer, far away. We are again at an open field and after having a late lunch here, Mr Alberty instructed us to sit down and sketch the sight in front of us. It's not just that Theo is so much concentrated on his work that he isn't looking at me. Things kind of turned awkward between us after I picked him up from the canoe earlier. I couldn't help it, I happened to stare into his eyes for a few seconds and he is now confused. He hasn't really talked to me after that. He was completely silent during the five minutes walk from the river bank upto here. I too felt nervous that I didn't talk. Then we sat together with the others for having lunch. So, we couldn't talk anything then. After that we were told to sit and draw, and so, here we are, silently sitting be
