Aiden Scott's Story

No Service. Raquel read the two words in top right corner of her iPhone 5s to herself for what felt like the millionth time in the last hour. She couldn't call anyone. Couldn't text. The only thing her phone was good for at this point was listening to music and playing apps. Which is exactly what she did. Laying her head against the glass window she put her playlist on shuffle and listened to the random songs that came sounding through her Beats earbuds. She played Candy Crush until she ran out of lives and then switched to Flappy Bird as she waited out the time until she regained lives to resume playing Candy Crush.

She repeated this playing cycle between the two games until the bus finally came to a stop when they arrived at their destination. Once the person sitting beside her got up and move out into the aisle Raquel stood up taking a moment to stretch. They had been sitting for hours and it felt good being able to stretch her legs. She noticed a guy seated all the way at end of bus fast asleep. No else looked like there were going to wake him up so Raquel decided to walking to the back of the bus. Placing a hand on the guy's shoulder she gently shook him, "Hey. We're at the camp." Stepping aside as the attractively tall guy got up putting the strap of his bag over his head and across his neck he gave her a simple "Thanks", as he walked by her as he walked up the aisle. "No hay problema."

Getting off the bus behind him she stood amongst the other teens and several adults as everyone's luggage was unloaded. When she spotted her bags she grabbed them and walked over to where she saw people huddled by a bulletin board. On the board was a piece of paper with a list of names and cabin numbers. There were two people to every cabin which meant she would be sharing. Layla Grey. Lord. I hope she not a bitch. Raquel thought as she found her name as well as the name of her summer roommate on the paper.

Turning from the bulletin she walked across the camp grounds until she found her cabin. Could be worst, she thought to herself as she walked into the empty cabin. From what she could tell she had made it to the cabin first. Which meant dibs. It took about fifteen or so minutes for Raquel to unpack all of her belongings and when she was done she wasn't exactly sure what she was suppose to do next. She had never done the whole summer camp experience thing before. When it had become clear that her mother was sending her whether she liked it or not she had promised herself that she would give it chance. However, the idea of an entire summer without internet and cell reception was just not her idea of the best summer ever.

She sat in quiet boredom tapping her tropical leopard print nails against the wooden bed frame as she attempted to wait for her roommate to arrive. Succumbing to the boredom that she felt in attempt to find something to do she left her cabin and went to see the sights. As she walked she braided her hair into a side french braid that hung down past her bust. It was a nice summer day out. Hot but not humid and there was a nice breeze blowing. Raquel wore a simple all white flowy crop top that left the tattoo on her side visible and a pair of denim laced shorts. Two light necklaces decorated her neck, a bracelet on her right wrist and a pair of sandals.

Raquel hated to admit it to herself but the camp site was phenomenally beautiful. It almost made being without internet and cell service worth it. Almost. She wasn't the biggest nature buff as with all the wide open spaces and beautiful scenery came the wildlife. Snakes, bears and more importantly the bugs. When it came to bugs she was a total girl in every way and if something touched her there would be some loud screams coming from her. She hated bugs with a passion. One thing she didn't hate was the water and over the course of the summer the lake would definitely become her home away from home.

She was in her own world as she was just finishing up the french braid she had been doing when the guy from earlier nearly collided with her. "Excuse me I'm sorry." Raquel just smiled. "No problem roadrunner." She said jokingly as she started walking again. "Wait your the one who woke me on the bus when we got here rn't you?" His voice stopped her as she turned around to face him. "Thanks again but you could of left me sleeping maybe they would of drove off without noticing, anyways I'm Aiden it's nice to meet you." Raquel couldn't help but laugh. "Please, you think am gonna spend my entire summer here and just let you get away. Sorry sleeping beauty but if am stuck here so are you. And am Raquel by the way."

"Sleeping beauty huh.....so you think I'm beautiful....but I don't think guys can be beautiful I think what you meant to say was sleeping handsome." Raquel just shook her head as she attempted to hide the smile that was growing on her face. She knew exactly what kind of guy was standing before her. She was a cheerleader after all. She knew her jock types well and Aiden was definitely a jock. If it wasn't his body that gave it away he's cocky demeanor did. "I think you think your handsome. I just think your a deep sleeper." She replied cooly as he draped his muscular sweaty arm over her shoulders as they stood facing the lake. "Well I can't say this stupid camp has started the way I thought it was going to, I'm standing here with a very beautiful girl looking out over a beautiful lake maybe this summer won't suck so bad after all." He spoke looking out at the lake before turning his gaze to her with a smile on his face. "Well aren't you just the natural charmer." She said as she removed his sweaty arm from around her shoulder. "So in what way did you expect this stupid camp to start?" She asked as she started walking away from him. The lake was beautiful and all but the camp grounds didn't stop at the lake. She wasn't sure when they would be called to start their mandatory bonding exercises with the other campers but before they did Raquel wanted to do some exploring. Whether or not Aiden decided to join her on her mini dora the explorer trip and get back to his run was up to him.
