Chapter 1 Richwood Forest

It was Friday night and we were loading all of our things into my car. My car isn't the best it is an old blue dodge with a rusty bottom. We were on our way to the woods to go camping. There are eight of us Sarah, Mason, Abby, Xander, Chris, Megan, Veronica, and myself. I planned the trip to ask Abby to go to homecoming with me. All my friends were part of the plan. I decided I would ask her by singing her a song I wrote. I started putting everyone's bags into my car. I also packed the axe, tent, and flare gun. My mom insists I take the flare gun just in case we get lost. I finish packing my car and shout, "Wheels out in ten ." Abby and I are in the car first and we start chatting about our movie theories. Abby is about 5'4 blond hair with the prettiest green eyes I've ever seen. We chat for about eight minutes before the group slowly fills in Megan was the next one in. By the time everyone was ready to go it was 6 o'clock in the afternoon.We were running a little behind. I wanted to get there by 6:30 but we won't get there until seven. We arrived shortly after seven and started to unpack. Me and Abby started to set up the four tents. While everyone else worked on getting a fire set up. Everyone has split up in three of the four tents. I brought an extra tent so I could be by myself. Even though it is very late by 8 we had the fire up and started roasting brats. Once everyone's done eating I pull out my guitar. Abby's eyes lit up because she loves to hear me sing. I started out with one of her favorite songs I wrote called Lost and Found. It was a love song I wrote. After I finished up with that song she was gleaming with happiness. So I decided to sing the song. I said ok guys this is a new song I wrote called Come With Me Abby. She looked very confused but I just decided to sing the song. In the song I asked her to homecoming. She ran away crying. I looked at Megan and she looked confused and shrugged her shoulders. I put down my guitar and ran after her. I caught up with her. She was sitting at the edge of a river crying. I asked, "Hey Abbs what's wrong." She said,"No one's ever been that nice to me.' I looked into her soft brown eyes and said, "Well Abbs no one could ever love you like I do." She smiles and her eyes glisten in the moonlight. We both lean in and kiss each other passionately. She pulls away first and I ask,"What is wrong Abbs."She said," Nothing I've Just knew you liked me.""I've been waiting for you to tell me because I feel the same way." I looked at her frowning and said,"Sorry it took me so long Let me make it up to you." I caress her cheek with my palm and lean in and kiss her. She kisses back hard. I pull away first this time and say," Abby will you go out with me?" She blushes hard and said," Of course I will go out with you Ethan." I say,"Okay let's go back to the others so they don't think we're dead. While we walk back to the group we are holding hands and chatting. We walked out of the woods and the group was smiling at us. It was super late so we all decided to got to bed. I went to bed in my tent alone. I decided to turn my flashlight on and read my book. After a while I heard a rap on the tent door. I said," Come on in." Abby walks in wearing a red shirt and black pajama shorts. "Is it okay if I sleep in here tonight it's pretty scary out here.", asked Abby. "Of course Abby I would love that. She comes and lays next to me on my cot. I put my arm around her and she asked," Can you sing to me before bed?" Sure What song do you want to hear?" I ask. She says," come with me Abby it is my new favorite song."I sang to her until she kissed me goodnight. We both say goodnight and cuddle until we fall asleep.
