Every summer the only thing on my mind is "When are we going camping again" The joys camping brought to my family and many others! The best part of camping was the fact that you don't have to care that you don't look your best, or how every single day can be a new adventure. The green tree's that surrond the camp sites. The birds chirping the the morning telling you to wake up. The croak of the frogs at night while your trying to sleep. The memories of when I caught my first fish and crying because I didn't want it to die. The heat of the fire feeling like it burned your skin making you rub your legs to cool them down. Walking around the campsites colecting sticks for fire wood. Camping always brought familys closer. Roasting those sticky marshmellows on the fire. Sitting on a boat waiting for a bite on your hook, the excitment when you catch the fish. The screams when you jump off the dock into the freezing cold magestic blue lake.
Probaly one of my favourite things about camping is the wilderness, its always so beautiful and full of new adventures. The way the tree's smell in the morning always wakes me up, the wonderful sent carries on through the day. All the many colours of tree's surrounding us. Making everyone happy. All the amazing animals that randomly crawl by uour camp site. The sounds of the squirrles running and squeeking through the trees. The chipmunks in the fire place trying to find scraps to eat digging around, paper and scraps of wood falling around the metal hollow circle. The moose running down the hill to the lake to get a drink of water, with its baby following close behind. The memories that you will never forget after campingare usually amazing! Deers chasing and hissing at you while your sprinting for the outhouse. Fishing and while your trying to catch another fish, you think your fish is dead then it just hopes back into the water. Year after year, my family always bring up these wonderful memories. Sometimes it embaressing but camping is a whole lot of fun!
Camping can consist of many things but of thing for sure everyone does is have a camp fire. Roasting marshmellows over the hot coals, getting the grahm crakers and chocolate ready to make the smores! The smell of the smoke sticking to you for days after you get home and have a shower. The burning hot flames making you look away by the amazing marvel of the fire. I can rarley imagine camping without a fire. I always remember my sister and I cooking many diffrent things over the fire, such as Fish guts, Leeches and much more. The white smoke riseing into the air, then suddenly you feel it blowing on your face. You quickly close your eyes, then your eyes start to water. Thats one of the worst things about smoke. Sadly my family only lights fire at night so we have to find something better to do during the day, many times it consists of walking around the camp sites.
The camp sites are always filled with something to do, its very entertaining. Playing hide and seek through the forest. Building forts out of sticks, going swiming and of course going to catch snakes. I have to admit that snakes are one of the easiest animals to catch. Once you get past the scales and teeth, the longs tounge. They are really fun to play with. Walking around the camp site, nothing in our hands heading off to catch snakes. The rocks in our flip flops and our hair tied back. It was a perfect sunny day to fid some snakes. We walked down the grassy path to the lake, suddenly I see something quickly moving past my feet, I figured it was a snake, so I strat running after it. I lightly put my foot down right below its head, grabbed its tail. It's body curled around my lower arm, one of the weirdest feelings ever. After a couple minuetsmy sister and I had four snakes two around my arms, and two around hers. We alwasy seem to find something fun to do. I will never forget the time when my dad and sister bet each other a dollar to eat a tadpole with a marshmellow, it was soo funny to see their faces when they tasted the slimy little creature.
Our camping trips are always filled with days packed with many things. But at the end of the day its always good to get into my sleeping bag and drift off to sleep getting fully rested for the next day. But sooner or later we had to leave. So we packed up our stuff and got ready to leave, driving down the road out of the camp site, wondering when we wouldgo camping again.

Hypnotizing
You turn around to see those dark brown eyes sparkling, they were looking at you, suddenly everything around you goes silent, execpt for the faint sound of the other students around you. The trance of those goreous eyes is hard to break, starting to relax I sit back in my chair, being careful not to take my eyes off his. The trance made me happy and calm. Every care in the world just drifted away once you looked into those eyes like an eraser on your brain. I could see his smile growing bigger and bigger, the dimples on his cheeks were extremly memorizing. I knew i was stuck on his eye though. The brown surronding me, calming every musscle in my body. I was loving every minuete of it. His eyes were just as goreous as mudusa's, it was incredibly hard to take my eyes off them. Then i hear the sound in the background of the bell ringing, chairs being pushed in. It was time to leave, but i couldn't move. Stuck in this hypnotic state i had to wait for him to turn away. But neither of us moved, i felt the ice cold hands on my face, someone was turning my face away. I took one last overwhelming look, shook my head and i was out of the trance. I walked over behind his desk, he stood up, gave me one of his amazing hugs.Being carful not to look into those gorgeous brown eyes. But it was too late, i was locked into his eyes again, starting to be hypnotized. Not complely because i could hear someone repeating my name, i was being pulled away, never forgetting those eyes. They were locked inside my head. But sadley we had to parted our seperate ways.

Smileing hurts! (Love/Happiness)
Valentines day was coming up. The dance decorations were being prepared, I was planning to ask that special someone to the dance. Knowing he would porbaly say no I decided to back down at the last minuete. The feeling i got when i was around him, was something that I had never gotten before. The feeling where your breathless when ever you see him. Or how the incredible pain in your stomach when he hugs you. When every time he talks or smiles at you, your face feels burning hot.
Class was about to start, then finally i see him walk through the door, he flips his hair then sits down. Suddenly i realise i couldnt breathe, after a couple seconds my lungs finally decided to work. Sitting there infront of him, wondering if he knew that I couldn't breathe for that brief moment. Everyday in class i turn around and talk to him. But today i just didnt feel up to it. But suddenly i feel a light tap on my left shoulder, i turn around and see him there smileing at me. My face felt boiling hot, we started to talk, typeing and talking at the same time was complicated, and usually i messed up. But personally i thought it was worth it. I finally thought he was going to show me how he felt and ask me to the dance, but then the bell rang and my big smile quickley turned into a gloomy frown. The twinkle in my eyes quicly subsided, I packed up and walked out the door.
Walking down the hallway, laughing soo hard untill it hurt, goofing around and falling on the ground with my friends allways picked up my bad mood. Smileing, and eyes sparking. Walking around the crowded school hallways, pushing past everyone in sight. Finally it was time to go to class. Another hour and a half of pure toucher, and again, he was in that class, so i had to deal with the lack of air in my lungs, the fact that it felt like my face was going to boil of, or how i was dieing for him to realize that i wanted him to ask me to the dance. He only had a little bit more time to ask. Sadly i tought it wasnt going to happen.
It was time for the dance, tickets in our hands, me and my five friends line up to get inside the gym, people pushing and shoving around us, we huddle closer and closer together, untill we get past the teachers hand them our tickets and now were off to the dance. Noticing we were the only ones dance we laughed and just kept on doing out thing. We decided to merge to the front, suddenly a slow song pops on, i was frantically looking around to see if i could see him, sadly I did. He was slow danceing with another girl, seeing that just broke my heart, unrealizing that he hurt me, he decided to come up and ask me to dance at the next slow song. Then i figured out that my friend told him that i was upset, i said no. I wasnt taking a pitty dance.
The dance had gone by so fast, dancing like crazy, running around. I realized I made a big mistake I wanted to dance with him! Again, my stomach had butterflies, i wanted to find him, then i remember how foolish I was, turning him down and then asking him again. Now that would be embaressing. So i decided to dance with my friends again. Smileing was all I could do, I wasn't letting anyone ruin my dance. Suddenly someone comes up to me and tells me that he wanted to dance with me, i was excited, but while he was coming over, i decided i wanted to dance with my best friend. We had fun they suddenly i notice hes right behind me, I let go and turn and start to dance, my stomach started to hurt, even worse then it usually did when he hugged me. But my happiness stopped the pain from making me want to curly up in a ball and start to cry. I was smileing from ear to ear, very soon that smile started to hurt, so i changed it into a small grin. Happiness overwhelmed me, i had a feeling the dimples on my face would be permanet. But then the lights turned on, forcing me to shut my eyes, being in the dark for about 2 hours doesnt do good when the lights turned on. His grip getting tighter, he started squeezing me. The dance was over, i completly amazing dace, and the most amazing hug. I was shaking from all the happiness. That was one of the best things that had ever happened to me. Still smileing as I walk home, it hurt so bad. But i just couldnt stop! There was nothing that could bring down my mood now. I dropped my back back on the ground, danced for a bit, opened the front pocket on my backpack, grabbed out my phone. Laughed a bit with my friends. Went onto my contacts list on my phone, scrolled down untill I saw his name, slide my phone to the full keybored and started typeing "Baby its a fact, you and I were ment to be" clicked send, stuck my phone into my pocket, and wait for the response. Happiness is hard to find sometimes with love, it can be dangerous, depressing, but in the end its worth it.

But why! (Sadness)
School was coming to an end. Walking up the steep hill covered with dead grass, and pine needles. I could see the blue door just a couple feet away, from behind me a hear the sounds of feet coming towards me, I turned to my left and saw my best friend Sidney sprinting towards me. She wasn't looking like her happy self today, she seemed gloomy and depressed. Her pretty smile was turned into a upsetting frown. Something must have been wrong, I was bracing myself for the news. She reached me and said "I have have some extremly bad new to tell you, i'm moving at the end of the school year"
My bright smile suddenly turned into a frown, our faces looked like twins, tears began to form in the corner of my eyes. I knew it was going to be impossible to hold in the tears. My eyes gently shut, the clear tears dribbling down my face. They were sparklying in the sunlight as they hit my sweater. The wet spots covering my sweater fastly. Sidney wrapped her fragil arms around me, I did the same to her. I slowly tried to stop the tears so i could talk to her. I quietly asked "Wh-where are you moving?"
"Alberta" she responded, the tears dripping down her face made me cry even more. What happens if I was never going to see her again. Would we ever be able to stay in touch? The feeling of loosing her was unbarable, she took a part of my heart with her, that day when she packed up and left forever. I tried to smile, to make the day better, I was goign to try to make the last couple weeks i had with her the best time of my life. I knew when that day came, it would be one of the worst days in my life. So when that day finally came, we said our good byes, the tears rolling down my face. I stand in her drive way as they packed there car, Sidney and I stood there, then we finally hugged, as the whole family hopped into the car. The loud rumble of the engine didn't help stop the tears, my face soaked from all the tears, my lips quivering. Breathing heavly i could hear the sound of her voice saying good bye.
As they drove off into the distance with the dirt forming dust behind their wheels, waved goodbye, and started to walk home. Leaving a trail of tears drops the whole way.

"Wake up my love"
It was 12 oclock in the morning. The purple blanket on my bed surronded me, me head placed gently on my light green pillow. It was hard to sleep the Christmas lights from the neighbours across the street were still up and shining brighter then ever. My eye's were wide open, the sound of the bathroom sink running freaked me out. I guess whatching Saw 6 before bed wasn't the best idea. After about 10 scary minuets I was starting to doze off asleep, my eye lids were getting incredabily heavy it was hard to keep them open. I decided it was time to go to sleep or else i would be tired for school tommorrow. I slowly dosed off into a heavy sleep. It felt like second I had been asleep, breathing heavly. I felt something go on my face the small black and white hair went inside my nose when i breathed in. It didn't wake me at first but then I woke up from lack of air. Coughing like crazy i pushed my cat off the bed and ran to the kitchen for some water, injesting cat hair isnt the best thing to do in the middle of the night. My beauty sleep has been ruined. Sadly i dont think i will be in a very good mood tomorrow. My cat was creeping back into my room to sleeping on my head and suffacating me again. I quickley sat up, and randomly shook around in my bed. I saw the door open, but i couldn't see anyone coming in, so I figured it must have been my cat. I hopped out of bed, being as silent as possible tip toed over to my bright white door I saw a black figure sprint out of the door, make no noise as it bolted down the hallway. I quickly shut the door, and tried to get as much sleep as a could before my alarm clock went off.

On the beach by the ruins
The sun gleaming down on my shoulders, the wind rushing through my hair, The laughter of children and adults surrounded me, I was sprinting down the beaches of Tulum Mexico. The sand was burning my feet, the wind brushing by my ears sounded like I was on a bike. I had to get away, there was only one way out, I had to go in the turquoise water. I rapidly turned around and saw many people looking at me, their beady eyes gleaming in the Mexican sunlight. The waves were crashing against the rocks lining the beach, I hopped onto the the water doused rock, the sharp edges puncturing my feet, the scent of Taco's and Salsa rushed by me with the wind. I raised my hands, jumped of the rock and into the freezing water. The impact of water on my face was burning, i attempted to open my eyes, but the salt water burned, i knew i ad to open them or else i wouldnt be able to see my way back. Swimming around under the water was amazing, the beautiful fish that swam by were every colour I could think of. The brushed my body there smooth but slimy scales felt tingly on my legs. The time underwater might have bought me some time, but i was running out of air in my lungs. I had to go up, I started kicking and the water rushing down my body felt like ice sliding down my back. A huge splash! and I was on top of the water gasping for air. The water off my lips dropped into my mouth I puckered my lips the salty water tasted horrible. I look up to the shore, i could hear a young boy screaming tears dribbling down his face, i did the breast stroke back to shore when i got up the sand stuck to my feet like mud. Suddenly I felt a couple taps on my shoulder and the I turned, it turns out I didn't win the tag game, now it was my turn to chase them.
