3 Trip to the pas (2/2)

”Me too,” Regan replied.

”Sooooo,” Ella began a sparkle rising in her eyes.

”Let's go have some fun!” Regan shouted, completing Ella's sentence.

”You bet girls,” Damien grinned, he too had missed this feeling. Though he was 4 years older than the two, both of them were his closest friends. Having to spend more time with them was the best thing on the planet to him.

A few hours later, the girls had hoarse voices from singing too much, and they had finally arrived at the camping spot. Regan got out and began to look around. The sky had turned a pretty scarlet color, the light bouncing off the leaves and giving the leaves a reddish gold glow. This spot was one of a kind. A river flowed right in front of them weaving through the forest as far as the eye could see and small and large rocks ran around the edges of the river. The ground had a soft but dry soil and the little white pebbles in the ground gave the place an enchanted feel. Grass covered the whole ground, short sprouts of grass covered most of the ground but longer thinner sprouts lined the river. The best of it was that it was a secluded camping spot, hidden by the large trees surrounding it.

”Where did you find a good spot such as this Damien?” Ella asked, reading Regan's mind.

”Yea, where did you find this spot? I remember driving past here whenever my family went on long road trips, but I never noticed this,” Regan added.

”I was taking a stroll after a long drive and wandered upon this place,” Damien replied, helping Ella remove the tents from the booth.

”Just how much free time do college students have?” Regan giggled.

Damien leaned in close and whispered in her ear, ”too much.. Why? you wanna spend it?”

Regan pushed Damien away with a chuckle and sarcastically replied, ”sure Mr. Playboy I'd love to become one of your chess pieces.”

Ella burst into laughter as she watched the scene.

The three of them spend the rest of their time unpacking their luggage and setting up the tents and soon night fell. A single wind blew through the forest calmly rocking their sleeping tent. Regan and Ella laid underneath the tiny roof while Damien slept in the cars. Sleep was a factor that was long awaited in the girls long day and it was the bridge into tomorrow's fun so it was expected that upon setting up everything, the group of friends snuggled up and fell asleep under the stars.
