Chapter 1
Demi and Dixie could see the yellow camp bus turning the corner. Dixie, the blonde one, quickly took her pink suitcase and stood up. She then started to wave at the bus driver to stop. The bus stopped in front of them and the doors opened.
âHi, Iâm Dixie.â Dixie said smiling to the young, twenty something, bus driver.
âHello, is that all your luggage?â
âYes, it is.â
âAlright you can bring them inside.â
Demi took her red school bag and pulled it over her shoulder. She went inside the bus without even looking at the handsome young man. Dixie was sitting in the front seat on the left; Demi sat beside her and pushed her backpack under the seat, where it barely fit. The bus was empty, like usual. Every time they went to camp they were always the first ones in. Demi put on her iPod and listened to Rock & Roll songs, the whole trip while Dixie took a pillow out of her suitcase and slept half the trip. The other half, she read a Harlequin romance novel, she adored them. Demi and Dixie were like any other twins you would meet; they tried to be as different from one another as much as they could and they did it well. Although they looked identical their personalities were total opposites. Demi was the one that was careless of everything; she loved to party, drink booze, get piercings anywhere she could and didnât talk much. Dixie also liked to party, but her parties didnât involve people vomiting everywhere while a Metal band played on stage. She always cared about what others thought of her, she liked to dress nice, listen to the music that was âinâ at the moment and was always very talkative. Although, they were total opposites, they never fought and when they did, a moment later, it was forgotten. The bus arrived at the camp, four hours later. The camp monitors were outside each cabin with papers in their hands, smiling. The teenagers all started to speak loudly and pushing each other, when the bus doors opened. The young man got out and opened the luggage area. The teenagers stayed close to him, trying to see if the luggage he put on the ground was theirs. When everyone had their luggage, the driver entered the bus and went to park. Demi looked at Dixie with a look that meant âI hope we arenât stuck with the gang of blondes this week!â Dixie laughed and walked to the first monitor she saw. The lady had short curly black hair, when she saw them walking towards her, she smiled.
âHello. You must be Demi and Dixie, right?â she asked them.
âYes. Is this our cabin?â Dixie asked the young woman.
âNo, you are both with Bryan Lots; he was your bus driver.â She said.
âWere with a guy?â Demi asked.
âYes, we like doing things a little more different then usual camps. Spice it up a little.â She answered.
âI think Iâm actually going to have some fun this week.â Dixie said to the short haired lady laughing.
âYeah, which one is our cabin?â Demi asked the woman.
âCabin 6, weâll see each other again at diner. Have fun girls.â She told the twins.
âThanks.â Dixie said.
They walked to their cabin and opened the door. There were two guys talking, one was on the top bunk beside the bathroom and the other on the bottom one. Demi threw her bag on the top of the first bunk she saw and laid down listening to her music. The guys turned to see who had come in. The guy in the bottom bunk got up and walked towards Dixie who was placing her blanket over her mattress.
âHey!â He said watching Dixie.
âHi, Iâm Dixie.â She said turning to see a good looking young guy standing close to her.
âIâm Matt and over thereâs Leo. Why donât you come join us over there? It might get lonely over here, were only 5 in the cabin including our supervisor.â
âWe always sleep beside the door, that way we can leave and do what we want when we want.â
âWe?â
âYeah, me and my sis. Sheâs on the top bunk.â
âAlright then, we can always move closer to you girls. One for each of us.â He said laughing.
Demi was still listening to her music; while Dixie had gone to Mattâs bunk to talk with Leo, the door of the cabin opened and the bus driver came in. Demi got up and went to the bathroom as Dixie approached the counsellor.
âHey, youâre our supervisor?â
âYeah, itâs Bryan by the way.â
âHi Bryan. So why do they put boys and girls together in cabins, they donât think we might do something?â
âWe like being different and anyways either youâre in the same cabin or not, if you want to do something, youâll do it.â
âThatâs true.â She said smiling at him.
He unpacked his things and sat on his bunk.
âOkay, everyone come sit on the bunk in front of me.â He ordered the teenagers.
Matt, Leo and Dixie went to sit in front of him. They looked at the toilet waiting for Demi. The door opened and she came out and when she saw everyone watching her she gave them a âwhat are you looking at?â look. Bryan smiled to her and motioned her to go sit.
âOkay, so my name is Bryan and Iâm going to be your supervisor for the rest of the week. Were going to have a game every night and I really hope we win the price. Tonightâs game is going to be about remembering everyoneâs names, try your best to remember every person you meet. Itâs a challenge but Iâm getting pretty good at it. Were about fifteen people so itâs going to be fun and by the way itâs time for diner so letâs go eat.â He told them.
They all got up and followed Bryan until the dinning area. They were the last to arrive, the cookâs had made hamburgerâs, corn and potatoes and everyone got a candy apple for desert. The lady with the curly black hair walked up to a small stage and opened the microphone.
âHello everybody, Iâm Alyssa Blare. Did you all have a good meal?â
âYeah!â everyone screamed.
âAâright! Now youâll all follow me to the campfire for a game.â
She walked to the door and everyone followed talking loudly, some were laughing and others we just screaming because they wanted to act childish, it was camp after all. Dixie was talking with a Chinese girl named Betty and walked outside not noticing her sister was still sitting. Demi sat and continued to eat her apple. Bryan went to take a few candy apples and put them in a bag as Demi walked up behind him.
âStealing apples?â She asked him.
âHey⊠no⊠well yeah, it was for you guys, I wanted to treat our cabin to some before going to sleep.â He told Demi really looking at her for the first time.
âDo I have to play your game?â
âMy game? Oh, you mean the game weâre all going to play at the campfire? Sure, unless youâre sick or something and in your case youâre not.â
âOkay, lead the way.â
They walked to the cabin to put the apples and went to the campfire to join the others. Demi sat on a tree trunk and waited for her turn. The woman spoke to a girl with long red hair.
âTell everyone your name.â Alyssa Blare asked the girl.
âAmy.â
âNow from Amy, clockwise everyone will say their name, aâright!â
âBradley.â
âKatherine.â
And the teenagers all said their names. When they were done Alyssa looked at everyone trying to pick who she thought should start the game.
âAâright, Bradley can you remember the names of the others?â
âI donât know, thereâs Amy, youâŠ. Alyssa, Betty, John, I donât remember the othersâŠâ he confessed.
âThatâs aâright. Who wants to try next?â
âI can.â Demi said to her as if challenging Alyssa.
âGo on.â
âAlyssa, Amy, Bradley, Katherine, Joey, Betty, John, Kim, Tim, Heidi, Leo, Matt, Bryan, Dixie and me Demi.â She said looking at Alyssa.
âVery good, thatâs absolutely everyone. Youâve got quite a memory there, your team is lucky to have you Demi.â
âNow can I leave?â
âSure, you can.â
Demi got up and everyone looked at her leave to her cabin. She got in the cabin and opened the light. The brunette pulled her bag off from her bunk and pulled out a pair of sweatpants and a top. She put them on, took out a pack of smokes from the front pocket and pushed her bag under her sisterâs bunk. She lied down, took a few puffs and closed her eyes.
