Band Camp

sassy

As he helped me to my feet, i was almost wishing i had been hurt so i could stay in his arms. I was a little short of breath, and quite flustered, i wanted to be near him again. It had been a long time since i wanted a man, but why ould he want me, i was nothing special, a friend to everyone, but lover of none.

"No, I am fine, just being my clumsy self as always."

I tried to look away, but i was trapped in the deapths of his eyes. I want to kiss him so badly.
 
Eddie

Looking back down into her sweet eyes while she spoke, I quickly corrected her, "You're not clumsy at all, Sassy. Atleast, you never seem like that to me. I've always thought of you as a woman with her head on right. Someone that would make a great girlfriend to a lucky guy."

There was a moment of hesitation on my part to say anything else towards her. I thought that perhaps I'd said too much about what I think of her at once. A part of me wanted to hold her against me again, and to kiss her soft lips for the first time. Then another part felt that this girl probably had little interest in me.

Keeping my eyes locked with her own, I start to move down for a kiss but catch myself. What was I doing? Part of me wanted to try and see if there was anything there. But that other part was keeping me from doing anything in that way towards her.
 
I felt as though he wanted to kiss me, and then he backed away. With i sigh, i took a step backwards.

"What's a boyfriend? It's been so longs since.....sigh"

The rafts were all down and ready to be carried to the river by the campers who would use them. Turning away, scared he might see what was in my eyes, i headed away,

"You better get some breakfast Eddie, you'll need your strength today."

I headed back to my cabin, i didnt feel much like a camp breakfast today.
 
Eddie

Watching her walk away with a sad look upon my face, I started to want to go after her right at that moment. It was probably best to let it go for now though. She needed her time to be alone, and I needed to get something to eat before the camp got started again. As I walked off to get my breakfast, I kept thinking about Sassy and how I could help her out.
 
Sassy

The day was about as glorious as it could be and it was time to get these sleepy campers moving. Ringing the bell loud, I called the campers together, explaining the rules of rafting safety, and the things to watch out for. The trip down river would take about an hour, and EVERYONE was to be included.

"OK campers, life jackets are over there, team up and Eddie with asign you a raft. Good luck, and may you all come back alive. Just kidding guys, have fun."
 
Frank

I did eat a quick breakfast- sitting alone to my chagrin. I thought about the rafting trip but decided to forego it, unless I could be with Sassy.I hadnt met any of the others, and going with a group of which I wasnt part seemed out of place, despite her invitation.

Therefore I stayed back, awaiting things to unfold. If she wasnt interested in me, Id just do my job and leave = but if she showed any at all - Id stay a while, telling my bosses the file needed a more thorough investigation
 
I woke up later in the day. Around noon or so. I threw on some jeans and a T and took off. Leslie had already left, I noticed sadly. I was still really conflicted though. I liked Leslie a lot but would I be cheating on Amy? I didn't know but I head over to the mess hall. A meal might clear my head.
 
Leslie

I came out of the showers dressed in shorts, tshirt, knee leangth socks and hiking boots. My long hair was pulled up into a french braid and I was about as ready for a day of camping as I could be.

Dumping my stuff off at the cabin, I notice Greg was gone and I figured that he might be at the mess tent. Making my way there, I heard about a rafting trip and I thought that might be interesting...if only I could snag a certain partner.

Walking into the mess tent, I saw he and another man whom I hadnt met yet sitting at separate tables. Greg's back was towards me, so I snuck in quietly and wrapped my arms around his neck, laughing, when I got close enough. Greg must have jumped ten feet high and I couldnt help but let go with another bout of laughter.

"Come on," I said to him as I sat down on the bench beside him,"They have a rafting trip planned and its a once in a life time opportunity for a city girl like me. I need a partner to go though, so what do you say?"
 
Sassy

I watch the campers getting ready for the rafting trip, and Frank seemed to be standing back. I thaught that maybe if the Tax man got a good taste of camp life he might be a little more open to helping me find a way of keeping it open. Besides, he was kinda cute, and i was kinda lonely.

"Frank, are you going to join us, you can ride in my raft if you like."
 
Frank- the camper and rafter

Her invitation was all it took. With a smile I picked up a life jacket with one hand, and taking hers with the other, we headed for the beach together
 
Austynn

I'd fallen asleep out near the lake on one of docks and had awaken with the dawn. I took a shower and changed into a white tank top and denim cut-offs and hiking boots. I pulled my crown of curls up into a ponytail and sat on the edge of Lou's bed as he slept.

After hearing Sassy ring the camp bell to wake everyone and he still hadnt awakened I began to throw pillows at him. One pillow whopped him right in the face and he sat up abruptly.

"What the hell!!" he shouted.

I fell into fits of laughter and he began to laugh with me.

As the laughter died down I told him it was time to get up. "The water is screaming our names, Lou."

"Well whats it saying?" Lou joked with her, falling into their familiar banter

"Its saying, COME ON OUT HERE AND SPANK MY ASS!!!"
 
Greg

"I suppose so." I say with a smile. "I've never rafted myself." I stand up from my half eaten food

This could be fun, I think.
 
Leslie

Leslie smiled and jumped up from where they were sitting on the bench. Grabbing his hand, she ran with him down to the lake where they were giving out life jackets."

"We'll take two," She said as they neared the councelor giving out the equiptment.
 
Sassy

With every one getting into their rafts, the energy was high and the water looked great. My raft was to go first, and Eddie would bring up the rear, giving instruction to those who had never rafted before as we went. After all, we'd never lost a camper yet, they always seemed to pop up sooner or later.

Looking over at Austynn, i gave her a wink, this was going to be a fun day.

"Frank, when we get closer to the rapids, just sit in the bottom of the raft and hang on, i doubt the IRS would be happy if we lost you. OK EVERY ONE, WHITE WATER TIME"
 
Frank

as the raft slid through the water, I realized that although casually dressed and in tennis shoes, I was ill equipped. I had no change of clothes in case I got wet, but so what. I'd been raised on a lake and had spent a lot of time in boats and was a good swimmer. Whitewater rafting was a new experience, and it promised to be exhilarating, but not nearly so as just being with Sassy. All the scenery in the world couldnt move my eyes off her as she competently handled the raft toward those rapids we could hear up yonder
 
Austynn

I looked over my shoulder at Frank and saw his eyes trained on Sassy. Another love sick puppy. I laughed out loud to myself. Lou sitting behind me caught on and snickered along with me. We always knew Sassy had something...black magic, witch craft...lol

I looked ahead as the water began rippling faster and the rocks began to look more treacherous. It'd been a long time since we'd been out here, but i knew if anyone could hold their own it was me.

"WoooooHooo Doggy!!! Bring it on!" I yelled

"AND BRING IT STRONG!!" shouted the rest of the group. I was famous for making up chants that would pump up the group and today was no exception.
 
OOC:

Wow this died for awhile!

IC:
Sits next to Haus and pokes her 'ready for our normal after breakfast morning dip?' grins, only wearing jean shorts he looked completely diffrent from how he did back in High School, his form was much larger and well cut. Part of him wished John Holt would show up so he could re-pay the favor Holt gave him.
