I walked to the mirror and fixed my tie while smirking on how I'm rocking my school uniform "Three more months to go" I looked at my wrist watch and took my school backpack and walked out of my bedroom and went down stairs wearing (white long sleeve shirt, long grey pants, blue strip tie and black shoes) I went to the kitchen to grab something for breakfast before heading to school.
"Good morning my lovely Creek family, oh god" I whispered as i walked in the kitchen finding my parents kissing and my little brother Scott just staring at them smiling like he was just handed a bowl full of cheddar cheese.
"Get a room guys come on what are you teaching my little brother, I just wonder what he will go through after I leave for Varsity" I said making a bit of a smirk laugh.
"Trust me Ty I don't mind, this is like a discovery channel for me I'm discovering many things about romance" Scott said while staring at them
As they broke the kiss and my dad who was still a bit drowsy from the tender moment he just had he was still trying to get back on earth from his facial expression I could just tell he was still on cloud nine.
"Good morning sweetheart" my mom said
"Morning mom" I replied
My dad breathed out heavily and looked at me "Good morning bud" my dad whispered
"Good Morning indeed dad… as much as I want to chat I'm running late for school, I love you all, and enjoy your day" I paced out of the kitchen
"Love you bye" My mom shouted
I opened the front door and went to my car and got inside usually I collect best friend Nick from his house which is a front opposite to my house but he went to school early to do something which he did not want to tell me what it was, I always get gosh bumps whenever he goes to school early it's either he didn't do his homework or it's something worse Oh god, let it be the first one.
I drove inside the school and parked the car I took my backpack and got out of the car as I walk to go to the class I spotted Nick I knew something was not right when I saw him reading a public clipboard knowing that he hates reading in public I went to him to see what he was reading I stood next him as his taller than me I then looked up at him then at the clipboard wondering what a hell.
I tiptoed and whispered in his ear "What's so important that you reading this clipboard?" I asked him
One girl quickly answered me "its sports day today" I quickly stared at her with wide shocked eyes and my body went cold as well as my brain.
"It's a what today?" I asked "That's impossible"
Nick slowly turned his head and looked at me while I was still staring at the girl who just answered me "Monkey" Nick whispered
"Nicholas" I whispered
I slowly turned my head and faced him with a blank look; I swear that moment I felt like someone just gave me the shock of my life.
"Creative mode now" Nick said
"On it" I whispered "Let's go now"
We both rushed from there like bad out of hell other students were staring and understood what day it was cause they know I always come up with some excuse to dodge the sports day.
I opened the door of the art class (panting) Out of ass so early in the morning.
"Ty what are we doing here and what are you going to do?"
"How is this possible it's Tuesday today?" I asked myself
"Okay I'll ask again what are we doing in here and what are you going to do?"
I looked at Nick who was trying to read my face or something "Do you still have Mrs. Dolly's glasses?" I asked
"01 lens?" Nick asked with curious voice
"Yeah Mr. Principal thinks his smart to plan sports day on Tuesday that too by using clipboards but he doesn't know who Tyler Creek really is, I'm way ahead of him." Then I fixed my tie looking all serious.
"With that look you have right now I bet you are" Nick whispered we sat down on the tables and took some feathers and started making some air for ourselves to relax a bit "Hey Ty what are we going to wear for matric dance?" I looked at him
"We…Shouldn't you be asking your date that and speaking of which who is this crush which you don't want to tell me about?"
"You'll find out soon for now i just don't want to jinx it"
"Nick I'm your best friend not a jinxster"
Nick laughed a bit "No Ty you are not that word you just said and anyway you don't worry you will find someone too I mean you'll never know, look at me it took me this long to find someone I like" I looked at him with confusion "Also after practice I need your help with yesterday's science homework"
I raised my eyebrows "Yesterday?"
"Relax we don't have science class today so I'm in the clear"
"You know for someone who is so good at the field you surly suck at books my friend"
"Really" he looked at me raising his one eyebrow "And how do know I'm good at the field where you've never seen me play before?"
I looked around frowning "I don't I heard people say you are good also your dad praises you a lot" he looked at me unconvinced
"Right" Nick said I looked at him with eye side then I stood up and walked around pretending to be thinking of something but I could feel his goofy smile from the back of my head.
The school bell rang Nick and I walked out the art class and we went to our classroom when we got to class we sat in our tables then Nick turned and looked at me as he sits in front of me then Mr. Jonas walked in class.
"Good Morning, class"
All became quite looking at Mr. Jonas standing in front of us looking all suited up from top to bottom.
"Good morning sir" whole class said
Mr Jonas wrote a topic of the day on the chalkboard
"Alright guys open your text books and turn to page 245 today we are going to do a geometry , so each of you going to do us an example on the board." We took out our books "Who is the first?" Mr Jonas asked
We all looked around to see who will be the first, of cause smart and genius students their hands were already on the air waving at Mr Jonas but nope he didn't pick any of them because he wanted the ignorant once, And I knew who would be the first one to go.
Nick raised his hand "Ah sir… can you specify a little cause I know I'm going to be the first one on the board?"
The whole class laughed so hard looking and turning to him and he turned and looked at me i tried my level best to hold myself but it was pretty clear on my face no matter how hard I tried.
"You are right Mr McDowell; you are the first, go on I'll explain while you write for us"
But as always I had to come to my best friend defence, I raised my hand for some fun time Mr Jonas looked at me with amused expression face.
"Yes Mr Creek"
"Ah sir if you send him on the board, looking as confused as he looks right now" Nick slowly turned and looked at me "Don't look at me like that I'm saving your sorry ass again" I continued "I mean his going to make the rest of class confused as well don't you think sir?"
Of cause Mr Jonas took my suggestion and decided to explain it himself and my best friend was saved again as always and the class went on.
Until the school bell ringed then it was time to put my plan into action time "Ty come on its time, you ready?" Nick looked at me with a smirk smile
"Ready". I replied
I peeked inside the school court then I saw coach going up and down looking around
"Wait 1,2,3,4,5,6 short one; where is Creek?" coach asked yelling and looking around all students started laugh who were sitting on the benches.
I peeked at the door and quickly worn the glasses "Right here, I'm here coach" I yelled while I walked inside the sport court and went towards coach stumbling on myself.
"What a hell are you doing Creek, you are late again"
"I know coach and I'm really sorry but I'm here right?"
But because of the thick lens I was wearing I was seeing double of everything including coach, so as we were talking it turned out I was not talking to coach but his double which was nothing in that point I was talking to myself.
"Who are you talking too? I'm right here on the other side" I quickly turned to the other side
"Sorry coach this glasses were recommended by the top eye specialist so that i don't strain my eyes" I whispered
"I'm on the left" coach said
"Right" I slowly turned again and students were laughing so hard if you passing by you would have thought a stand-up comedian was in the building "Sorry coach this thick lens makes me see double i just wonder how I'm i going to catch the ball I mean i know how much you hate sloppy practise and the way you it I'm practically blind" I whispered
Coach just stared at me without saying anything and I kept on wondering was my plan working or not but then I heard "Step off my court". I was like music to my ears
I quickly turned around and marched to the exit not wanting to hear anything I kept on stumbling until I was in the clear, as I got outside I took off those glasses and my eyes were burning but I couldn't care less I had managed to escape another sports day with flying colours
I went to my locker as I open it a folded paper fell on my feet I bent and picked it up when I open it, it was a letter.
"Dear Tyler
For you my name is Oceans I'm your secret admirer don't worry I'm not a stalker I'm just a guy who always like to get a glimpse of you every day than the rest of my day would be perfect I know you properly thinking why the letter where technology it's so advanced I like to think I'm old school and hopeless romantic by the way today that was a great act…I'm always looking forward to sports day knowing that you are going to make up some excuse to dodge the activities you always put it off nicely until next time."
Your secret admirer (Oceans)
I looked around wondering who had putted this letter in my locker then Nick suddenly showed up calling my name "Ty?" I quickly turned and looked at him then I putted the letter in my pocket "Monkey you are a genius I still can't believe your trick worked hey" he looks at me closely "Hey are you okay?"
I looked at him "Yeah, yes I'm fine"
"Are you sure? You look a bit pale" he putted his hand on my forehead
"Yeah I just need to go to the bathroom you go ahead I'll find you at the class" I quickly passed him without looking back
He calls out to me "Ty…Tyler" but I didn't look back I just kept on walking forward.
I quickly entered the bathroom and the opened the first door and quickly sat down on the toilet seat then took out the letter from my pocket to read it again.
"Who is this admirer" I thought out loud "It's been a year now since he started leaving me letters once in the while" Suddenly heard students talking outside I went out and freshen up my face looked myself in the mirror then headed out to go to class as I walk in the hallway I felt like I was walking in a slow pace I bumped into someone and said "Sorry" and kept on walking without stopping or looking back all was on my mind was who is this person who left me this letter. I walked in class with a long confused face i headed straight to my table passing Nick as soon as i sat down he turned and looked at me with a curious stare while I'm lost in my thoughts sometimes I just feel like he has a magnet to detect when there is something bothering me.
"Are you ready now to tell me what's bothering you?" I looked up at him
"It's nothing I'm fine" then the principal made an announcement on the speaker
"Attention all grade 12's it is my greatest pleasure to inform you all that on Friday afternoon you are going on a camp" I buried my face in my hands cause I felt like the principal just sucked my soul out and poured ice cold water on me then of cause Nick had to rub it in.
"Looks like the principal out smarted you this time Ty".
I gave him such a world class ass serial killer stare in my mind I was like "I dare you Nick McDowell say something else" for his own betterment he just glanced at me "Right" and slowly turned and faced the front I was like "Good boy".
My heart sank to my stomach for the fact that I hate activities and what happens at camp bloody activities and crappy things too, if I didn't curse our principal right minute I missed my bloody chance.
Nick turned around again "But it's a good thing" I gave him another class ass serial killer stare "Okay fine I'll turn around" Then the bell rang
"Thank god" I stood up took my bag pack with such annoyed face out this world I looked at Nick who is writing something on his book.
I bend down and whispered in his ear "You got saved by the bell" I whispered then walked passed him he just stared at me as I walk towards the door.
Lian went to Nick "Hey what's up with Ty?"
Nick looked up at her then at the door then back at her "He hates camp"
Lian laughed "Right that would be Ty alright."
"I have to go" pointing the door "I'll talk to you later" Nick said packing books in his bag pack.
"Yeah sure" Lian said being amused
Then Nick came running after me and calling out to me but as I was not in the mood for anything but chocolate cake I didn't even turn back to look at him he eventually he was able to catch up to me.
"What's up with you, and don't say it's nothing did someone say something to you?" holding my shoulder to stop me from walking away I looked at him and replied;
"Yeah the head of this school, didn't you hear what he said C.A.M.P camp who the hell thinks like that" Nick stared at me and shake his head and make smirk smile.
"Okay today you have to tell me why you hate camp so much you've been dodging this question since we were kids today you have to tell me".
"After I get some chocolate cake besides you're going to be late for your practice" As I start to walk I heard the sound of the bag pack unzipping I stopped and turned back with a shock expression "Don't tell me you have a chocolate cake in your bag pack".
"Firstly I'm not going to be late plus with you I'm always prepared" he then took out a small box and hand it to me "After practice I want the real reason why you hate camp so much speaking of practice come and wait for me while I practice you can eat your cake while sitting on the benches plus you haven't watched me play for 3 whole years"
"And I won't watch you play ever even if you become professional football player your sport is dangerous and can make you drop a lung so no thanks I'll wait in the car I can do that much for you."
"Some friend you are fine at least I know you care about me from the distance"
"Your melodrama won't work" he laughed and walked away heading to the rugby locker rooms.
As Nick is busy with his team mates practicing I walked to the field and hid behind the benches and looked at him he was pretty good for the past 3 years I've been watching like this all his practices and games watching from the distance and not letting him know even though I hate sports but I always support him I just hope he knows.
After practice while Nick showers I rushed to the car to pretend to wait for him when he came out with his team mates he head straight to the car
"You should thank god you still breathing and walking"
I took out my car keys and handed to him while holding my cake with my other hand
"You drive so I can narrate my reasons to you well and anyway I'm way annoyed to drive I may hit something."
He smirks at me "Okay I'll drive."
I got into the passenger side and start eating my moist yummy sizzling chocolate cake what was left for me was to start singing then nick got to the driver side and the car. I turn my head to him
"Remember when we watched Jason?" confused nick look at me wondering what a hell
"Jason the horror movie?"
I take a mouth full of piece of cake I turn my head to him again
"How about Freddy Kruger but yet both of them together Jason vs. Freddy who did they kill, Teenagers" Nick slammed the brakes making my last piece of cake to fall down on my feet.
"Be careful" I shouted staring at him
He turn off the car turns to me with such a look as if the lightening as strike his head
"You mean to say you hate camp because of some movie, you know what… no more horror movies for you young man" pointing his finger on me and start the car again "Unbelievable" and drive off
"You will see nothing good comes out in camps and when that happens I want you to say you told me so."
"Nothing of that sort will happen camps are fun and full of activities this thing of you hating sports and activities its getting way deep in your head."
"Fine" I looked at him "Don't believe me than Nicholas you will see it for yourself nothing good comes out at camps and when that time comes I want you say you told me so."
