I sat at my desk, looking at the last question on the paper. The speed of light? I had no clue.

Did I ever mention science sucks? I felt like watching paint dry sat in this camp. Luckily for me, it was the second to last day. This test was designed to see if we had learnt anything and improved on our exam results. I wrote something stupid in the answer and put my pen down. I was finally done. No more rubbish on plants or gravity and all the other stuff.

Once the test was over, I went back to the dorm.

"I am so glad we have no more worthless camp. I swear watching the Moon orbit Earth gives me more satisfaction and joy" I ranted on.

"You can say that again" Gary said with relief "You owe me a rematch" He said with a controller in his hands.

I nodded "Right"

We spent the rest of the day playing video games, which was the only fun past time. The whole Josh gossip was old news on the camp. Some gossip about sex that I didn't care about.

The last day came fast. I was filled with joy to finally have no more science work.

I headed to the notice board to find my result. I got 75%, a B, while Gary got 55% and scraped a C. He still passed.

When I came back he was awake.

"You got 55%. A C" When I said this Gary looked overjoyed.

"I.. passed?" I nodded and he shot up, bouncing around and screaming. I sat and waited for him to calm down.

Eventually, he calmed down and called his Mom, then his Dad and his whole family.

I didn't care about myself. It was a waste of time being in the camp. I was sure Josh set me up anyway.

The day went away fast and it was time to go home. My Mom picked me up early. Gary was coming with us.

"Hello Mrs. Ketchum" Gary said with a child like smile.

"Please, call me Dellia" She said with a smile.

"I got a C, Mrs. Ketchum!" Gary replied, for the millionth time.

"Great Gary" Seems she gave up with the name "And Ash?" She looked oved.

"A B" I said plainly "Can we just leave?" I wanted to get out of here as soon as possible to see Serena. I miss her so much, especially since we just had an amazing holiday before I went to camp.

"That was the worst. Most boring, two weeks of my life. What even is science anyway?" I moaned for a moment.

"It was awesome!" Gary fist pumped the air. He looked like such a little kid.

"You mean you passed, right?" I asked.

Gary fist pumped again "That too" I laughed a little bit. He was such a unique person.

"How long until we get home, Mom?" I wondered, checking my watch. 6pm? It was getting a little late.

"About an hour" As soon as I heard hour, I fell asleep. I was getting tired, so a power nap would help.

We arrived home, with Gary having been already dropped off. I checked the time again. 7:30pm. I better see Serena tomorrow instead. I unpacked and headed straight to bed.

The entire camp was pointless. We learnt mostly things I knew, so it was easy too.

As I slept I had a dream, wondering about how they do a third week in the camp. You would miss your last week of summer and also, your friends. I didn't like the thought, so the dream changed to Serena. Serena was stood, gazing out to the night sky. Everything about her was beautiful, but most of all, her smile. Maybe it was the attraction of our magnets that put us together. Or our hearts, because science sucks. But, science did have the answers to most things in life.

I stopped thinking about that and focused on Serena.

Even sat in my bed, I still missed her. I cuddled my pillow, like it was her in my dream and then held tight.

I would never let go.

Ever.

Serena is the one for me, through life and death.

I never want it to change. Even if I was offered world supremacy.

Serena is too beautiful.
