#Chapter533
Returning home
Payton
We finished up the rest of the camping trip, doing different things. We went swimming and rode four-wheelers. We stayed away from the trails since we didn’t want to become lunch for Bertha.
We came home and dropped our bags off, then left again. Ma came out of the kitchen and saw the pile of bags. She shook her head, throwing her hands up into the air, and went back into the kitchen.
I went to pick Josie up and meet up with the others at the beach. I pulled into a spot and parked the car as we walked over to Matthew, Markus, Mason, Larissa, and Kaxon.
/"Shouldn’t you boys be doing something productive with your lives?/" Parker asked.
/"Yeah, it’s beating your ass in volleyball,/" Markus retorting. He spun the volleyball on his fingertip.
/"Bring it on, little man!/" Parker challenged.
