Sunny Summer Camp Juliana Mga Nobela at Kwento

The ever-composed, ever-smiling royal was crying. I paused, uncertain whether to announce my presence or quietly leave. But her next words froze me in place. “Julian, why don’t you understand me?” she pleaded, her voice cracking with emotion. “Aria wants to go to summer camp. It’s all she is talked about for weeks. If I don’t take her there, I will break her heart.” There was a pause. Then I heard the calm voice of Prince Julian, her younger brother. “You know why he doesn’t want you to go.”

Luna slightly squinted her eyes. “I do really have something.” Luna went to the study and took her laptop. She opened the summer camp information that Nigel sent to her. “I hope Nellie and Nigel have a better education.” Joshua furrowed his brows. He quickly scanned through the information on the summer camp. “No.” Joshua opened his mouth and said determinedly, “Neil and Nellie just returned to me and Alice for only a month. Now you want me to send them to such a far place. The summer camp is for six months. I don’t agree with it.”

Another girl, I think her name is Sugar or is it Candy said something but she was quiet. 'Marina you haven't told us what you'd be doing summer' Britney stated. Everyone turned to look at her. I could tell she didn't like to be the center of attention. Her nervous stance made me want to protect her but I don't think Britney would approve of me trying to get close to her best friend. 'Well I volunteered as a camp counselor-' 'Wait! You're gonna spend your summer break camping, supervising kids' Caramel said and they all burst into laughter.

He looked at me, and I couldn’t help but shiver all over. Quickly, I masked it. But his gaze didn’t waver. “Amber…” His deep voice was magnetic. I hurriedly said, “Let’s talk about work.” He paused for a moment. Julian started talking about the project, explaining to Alice some of what I already told her – that during her upcoming summer break, we would go around to a bunch of different packs and help treat sick children. Alice was more excited when Julian told her than when I did, because I had left out the part about Julian coming with us.

I asked, setting aside the math textbook I’d been pretending to study. “You could say that,” he muttered, loosening his protective gear. “You alright, kid?” “Actually, I wanted to ask you something.” I stood, bracing myself. “There’s a group of girls from school going camping tomorrow night. Just overnight. Can I go?” He looked at me. “Camping? Where?” “I think just near the outskirts. They go every year, it’s a thing.” Julian rubbed his chin. “Who’s going?” “Ruby. Laura. Claire. Cherry—”

"I can be Spider-Man and Batman? Best day ever!" He turned and bolted up the stairs two at a time, already lost in his own joy, completely unaware of the storm gathering beneath our roof. Alone in the hallway, my fingers drifted to the pendant resting against my collarbone, the one I had worn every single day for ten years. I didn't need to look at it to know the words engraved across its surface. 'Next summer, find me if you can.' I had written that promise for me and Miguel, believing it was the beginning of a love story.

I still didn't get why they liked him. He was handsome, but well… I couldn’t quite get it. Maybe because he was my brother. Summer break was getting close in California, and there was something about the way the sun made everything smell that I loved. I had decided to spend June at my elder brother’s apartment before I resumed college. My brother, Davis, had moved out when he was nineteen and had been living alone ever since he started college. He was pissed off when I told him I was coming over, but what could he do to me?

“No one’s going to challenge her. She hides behind family ties, labelling us as petty if we voice any issues.” A gust of wind rustled the leaves of the lemon tree. I was Juliana’s victim in my past life. I held my tongue the whole time as she turned my world upside down. This time around, I was done putting up with her. That night, Juliana sent a message to the family group chat. “How does a picnic by the lake behind the estate this weekend sound? I’ll sort everything out.” She tagged everybody in the group, acting like the Donna. Juliana got right down to the distribution of tasks.
