Shawn Grayson, a seventeen year old Shadowfall High school student, had just arrived at Atwater Beach with his friends.
Shawn had just sent his camping photos to Viona Davis, his childhood schoolmate.
Shawn did not know that due to the message he sent, Vio was caught when she overheard the vampire twins talking behind the school and because of that, Viona had to deal with an Ash Devon.
Previously, Shawn had invited Viona to participate, however, Viona said that she could not participate because she was busy with Miss Chambers' unfinished scientific assignment.
Shawn camps with Jake, Barbarra, Amy, Kara, Dylan, Cameron and Nora. They consist of four boys and four girls. The eight of them agreed to spend the weekend camping on the Atwater beach in their respective cars.
There were a total of four cars, one of which was a pick-up truck carrying their camping equipment.
After being satisfied with their photo session and posting it on social media, they then started setting up their tents. There are two tents that they set up, because the division of tents is based on gender. The men will sleep in one tent while the women will sleep in the other.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the tents were set up. The boys cheered as they ran into the sea. They swam laughing. Some of the girls went swimming, some of them just chose to sit on the beach on the soft sandy soil. Capture the beauty of the beach with camera shots.
The sun had not yet slipped from the western horizon when Shawn stepped out of the water. He finished his swimming activity and intended to change clothes in the tent while his friends were still swimming.
Shawn took off his wet T-shirt and shorts and replaced them with dry ones. He had just pulled his pants up when Barbarra suddenly entered the tent.
"Barbarra, what are you doing…"
Shawn hadn't had time to finish his sentence when Barbarra suddenly bumped him into lying on the floor of the tent.
"Barbarra, you…"
Shawn's lips did not have time to protest because Barbarra had grabbed him first with a hot crush.
The girl's hands moved freely on Shawn's exposed skin, because Shawn had not yet had time to wear any tops.
"Oops... Sorry..." The kiss was broken by the interruption of Jake Parker, Shawn's best friend, who looked from outside the camp.
"Wait, Jake!" said Shawn, snatching the T-shirt and cell phone from the pile of blankets. He used this opportunity to run away and ignored Barbarra who looked annoyed at Jake's behavior just now.
"Barbarra didn't waste her chance, huh? She's been trying to get to you since she's been swimming and even followed you to the tent. I think, she really really wants to get back into a relationship with you."
Shawn grimaced slightly as he shrugged his shoulders in response. Previously, Barbarra and Shawn had been dating for eight months.
They then broke up because Barbarra felt Shawn was too busy with school activities and ignored him as a boyfriend. Barbarra then dated Harri Werber, a field star in lacrosse.
Unfortunately, Harri Werber then had an affair with many other girls while still in a relationship with Barbarra.
Knowing this, Barbarra chose to break up with Harry.
After breaking up with Harri, Barbarra dated several times. Until finally, she realized, as long as she was in a relationship, there was no boyfriend as good as Shawn.
To her, Shawn was a good boyfriend who never betrayed her. Shawn is really busy because of school activities. During his busy schedule, Shawn always gave news and made time to meet up even if only briefly on weekends.
In contrast to Harri, who uses school activities as a shield for infidelity in order to have fun with other girls behind Barbarra, Shawn doesn't.
Therefore Barbarra regretted and wanted to return.
But, Shawn didn't seem to think that way.
"I was afraid my busyness would make you feel neglected again, Barbarra." Shawn said when Barbarra met him that time.
"No, Shawn. No. Last time I was wrong. I decided and just dumped you. But, now I realize my mistake. I won't be selfish anymore. I'm not going to monopolize your time all the time. I also won't feel like you're ignoring me like that again. So, can you think about our relationship again? I want us to date again, Shawn."
Shawn sighed. "Sorry, Barbara. Please don't think that I hold a grudge against you. Because in reality I don't have a grudge. For me, what has passed, let it pass. While dating you, I also had time to feel happy. It is a two way relationship. No coercion. So no regrets."
"Then why? Why won't you take me back? Why did you refuse my invitation to date again?"
"Because I'm not thinking that way right now, Barbarra. I will take part in many olympiads, my time will be wasted there. Because of that, I guess…"
"I'll understand that, Shawn. Didn't I also say earlier that I would try to understand and not monopolize your time like before."
Barbarra remembered, when in the last week of the science competition, Barbarra insisted on meeting to see the latest film at the cinema, even though Shawn had long ago told her that she would be busy in the science lab with other members who took part in the competition.
Barbarra threatens to break up if Shawn doesn't come.
Shawn then followed Barbarra's wishes. He came to meet the girl. Finished watching, Shawn said that he was going back to the lab but, Barbarra sulked because she wanted to go out and eat after the movie.
"I'll change it another day, Barbie. After all, didn't we take a walk two weeks ago? Right now, I really can't."
"Then we broke up," said Barbarra suddenly.
Barbarra still remembered Shawn's expression when she said that.
"Are you serious?" Shawn asked.
Even though Barbarra noticed the change in Shawn's expression, however, she chose to ignore it.
"Yes. I'm seriously."
"Think about it right, Barbarra," Shawn called out Barbarra's name, "I've told you before. Don't say goodbye easily. If you want to break up, think carefully. Because once you break up, I won't be in a relationship again."
"Indifferent. Many men are waiting in line to date me. Take, for example, Harri Werber, the star of the lacrosse field."
"What do you mean, Barbara? Do you intend to cheat? Or did you do it already?"
"It's up to you what you say. We broke up."
After saying that, Barbarra walked away, occasionally glancing back, hoping that Shawn would catch up with her. But, Shawn didn't follow him at all.
For several days, Barbarra also waited for a chat or phone call from Shawn but, the guy never contacted her.
Shawn actually uploaded photos of his competition with the science team on social media. They won second place. Although usually Shadowfall High always wins first.
Barbarra was annoyed at Shawn's abandonment and also felt like she had already said goodbye, even though she didn't really mean it that way. To be honest, she still loves Shawn, her ex-boyfriend.
She just wanted Shawn to be less busy with school activities and pay more attention to her as a girlfriend.
Why didn't Shawn say when they fought last time that he chose Barbarra over the science team. If Shawn had said he would accompany her for a walk and a meal, this certainly wouldn't have happened.
But, everything had happened, there was no turning back. Her pride didn't allow her to take those words back anymore. After all, she was the one who dumped Shawn, so it wouldn't be too embarrassing for the Shadowfall High kids to hear about it. She could tell that she was tired of Shawn that's why she dumped him.
