I woke up at sunrise, so maybe six o'clock-ish? It was breathtaking. The rising sun lit up the field we were driving through. Roxanne was still asleep, and I'm assuming everyone else was too. After I watched the beautiful sunrise that was an array of pink, purple, and red, I fell into a dreamless sleep.
When I woke up once again, it seemed everyone else was doing the same. Roxanne was still asleep, quietly snoring as if in a trance. I noticed Storm was awake and he seemed to notice me as well.
"Happy Birthday, Sunshine!" Storm said in his adorable Australian accent. I had forgotten it was my birthday! Yay!
"I forgot!" I exclaimed happily, "Oh yeah, and who gives their friend the nickname Sunshine?"
"First of all, what seems wrong about the fact that you didn't remember your own birthday? Oh yeah, everything." He smirked before continuing, "Second of all, if it's not obvious enough, I give people that nickname. I mean, just you, but that's the answer to your question." I laughed at his response, and he joined in. Roxanne woke and wearily rubbed her eyes.
"I can't believe I'm a teenager!" I said in a slightly bittersweet voice. My childhood was officially over. No turning back.
"Me neither," Storm grinned mischievously, "You're just a bit too immature!"
"Am not!"
"Oh yeah, sorry. How dishonest of me. I meant that you're way too immature, not just a bit immature!" I rolled my eyes in mock anger.
"I'll have you know that we are the same age!"
"Being the same age does not mean we're the same mature-wise."
"Duh. I mean your like super immature and I, on the other hand, am a responsible teenager!" This conversation was fun to have, and Storm and I were both thoroughly enjoying throwing comebacks and insults at each other, and I'm not being sarcastic.
"I think you have it the wrong way, my dear lady." He smiled. When then simultaneously began laughing. Storm is perfect! Oh my goodness I love him! In a friend way. Just then, we heard a screech. I looked out the window, and saw that we were at camp. Yes!
