Summer Camp 11. Green Peas
Adonis's POV "Adonis, dude, are you awake?" Oh God! What the hell is wrong with this guy? What does he want now? "Hey, I know you aren't asleep. Listen, I need to ask you something," Eric says turning on his phone's flashlight and turning it in my direction. He was lying on his mattress and his face was barely visible to me in the flashlight. "What?" I let out a sigh. "Do you like Andrea?" "Why do you want to know?" I frown at him. "Because I'm confused if you like Elena." "I don't like her." "So, you like Andrea?" "Yeah.." He suddenly sits up. "Then dude, why are you playing with Elena?!" His tone was now angry. "I'm not playing with her!" I snap back. "Yes you are! You won't let anyone else come near her. What's your problem?" "Ah fuck! I can't sleep! Can you guys just fight tomorrow morning?" Stephen yells from his corner where I thought he had gone to sleep an hour ago. "Just a minute, bro. We both need to settle something," Eric tells him and looks back at me. "You
Last Updated : 2024-04-10Summer Camp 12. I'm Out
Theodore's POV Looking at the eastern skies, I stand quietly, overcome by a kind of tranquil sereneness. Atop the hills, facing the eastern skies, a pale gold light emerges first. Slowly the orange and yellow bright ball begins to appear. It rises higher and higher, very slowly, leading to a party of colors. The whole sight feels like the spell of a new hope. Beneath the hills and a couple of meters away from us, looking fresh yet foggy under the morning skies, lies a vast low lying pasture where a herd of elks are scattering in all directions, along with the spreading light. As the colours in the sky becomes more and more vibrant, I find myself in a soothing state of mind, excited to start the day. The sound of the birds chirping and the gentle breeze coming off the hills gives me goosebumps all over my body. One thing I realise, this camp has given me the opportunity to see and appreciate how wonderful nature is. "Hey!" I turn around to see Eric smiling at me. "You look overw
Last Updated : 2024-04-12Summer Camp 13. Why?
Adonis's POV "Sure, there are many ways that you can grip the paintbrush when painting, but there's this one method that every artist should know to get the most fluidity and sensitivity from each stroke," Mr Clark lectures whilst holding a paintbrush in his hands. "Look at how I'm holding the brush. You should hold the handle as far back as you can. This might feel uncomfortable at first, but it provides the greatest degree of control over the brush since it allows you to paint with your whole arm, not just your wrist..." I leave a sigh and place my paintbrush down, staring at the far away hills. This Clark guy is honestly good but I don't want to listen to his lecture right now. I'm not in the mood to learn oil painting currently. After all, I cheated and I'm no good at this stuff. I don't even want to look at these green hills right now. I just want to be back at home. I hate it here! I regret coming to this camp! I close my eyes for a moment and then slowly open it, only to s

Theodore's POV "What's wrong Elena?" Eric asks me with a frown as I grab his wrist, stopping him from touching my face. "I don't want you touching me. I'm not comfortable with it," I finally spit it out. "Oh..er..okay," he nods. The look on his face says he is irritated. But I was tolerating him for a long time. I can't do it any longer. He takes another half an hour to finish his drawing. The whole time he keeps sighing and rolling his eyes. As soon as he says he's finished, I get up from my chair and walk out of the ground in direction of the tents. I need to find Adonis. I don't know what happened to him earlier. In the distance, I see his figure sitting under that same tree he dragged me to, today morning. I increase my pace and soon find myself running towards him. He looks up on hearing my footsteps. "Adonis, Are you okay?!" I pant out when I reach near him. "Yeah," he nods. I go and sit beside him, still breathing heavily from the little run I made. "I'm sorry about tod
Last Updated : 2024-04-13Summer Camp 15. It's gonna hurt
Adonis's POV "Actually, you don't need to think about it." "What?" Andrea looks at me confused. "My feelings changed," I say and get up from the seat. "What do you mean?" She frowns at me. "I mean, I don't like you anymore," I say. Her frown deepens and I feel really awkward as she keeps staring at me in disbelief. "Were you playing with me? Is this some kind of revenge?" "No.." I shake my head. "People's feelings can change. I liked you before but now I don't, just like how you didn't like me before and now.." "I don't like you!" She snarls. "Okay.." I nod. "It's settled then. I'll go and sit in the back," I say and grab my back pack, quickly hauling it on my shoulder. Then I walk towards the back, looking for Theo. I had decided to stay away from him until the camp ended, but I don't think I can do it. I can't bear to see him cry. I can't hurt that poor boy anymore. He is utterly clueless and probably thinks I hate him now. It's just one more day and I just need to control
Last Updated : 2024-04-13Summer Camp 16. Control
Adonis's POV When I step out of the bathroom after taking a long shower, Theo is sound asleep on the bed on his stomach, still in his black georgette lace dress, his sneakers lie beneath the bed and his brown hairpiece lies on the bedside table along with the bracelet he wore today. I walk to him and stare at his tired sleeping form. Yes, my dreadful wish came true. He and I got to spend one more night together. All the rooms were double rooms and mostly everyone paired with their first day’s roommates. I don’t feel like it happened by chance, rather it seems to me like my destiny or doom. Cause, why would the teachers let us share a room again even after seeing we are now so close? Like, why are they so unconcerned? I mean, I’m a teen guy and he is a cute girl here. Extremely cute now when he is a guy. I kinda love this black dress on him. So pretty, just like a doll. Gosh! I need to stop thinking such things! Pulling myself out of the trance, I bend down and gently slap his arm.
Last Updated : 2024-04-14Summer Camp 17. Snake
Theodore's POV "Now, everyone, listen carefully.." Mr Alberty clears his throat after making us stand in a circle around him, just after we hop out of the bus. "For the last two days, you know, we were just roaming about in the forest edge and not the actual dense forest," he commences. "But today, listen guys, we are going to go a little deep and so there's high chance that we meet a few wild fellows along our way, I mean even a bear or a woolf." That arouses a lot of shrieks and squeals from the people around. "I know it all sounds exciting to you. But it's also equally dangerous," he continues. "So, what I'm trying to say is, be cautious and behave properly in the forest. Don't try to provoke any animals, especially monkeys. And also be cautious of snakes. I'm sure we'll be encountering a lot of narrow fellows in the grass today." That earns a lot of gasps from the girls. "No need to be scared. You're all wearing boots. You won't get bitten unless you pick up a snake from the g
Last Updated : 2024-04-14Summer Camp 18. Consequences of Catching a Fluffy Bunny
Adonis's POV "Adonis! Adonis! Look there.." Theo whispers to me pointing at a rock. "What's there?" I frown, bending a little to take a better look. I couldn't see anything. "Shh.. there's a small bunny behind it. White and brown. Fluffy! I wish I could touch it," he says and quietly starts moving towards the rock. I couldn't help but smile, watching him go to catch the fluffy bunny he was talking about. Just as he reaches near the rock, the rabbit suddenly jumps out from behind it and starts hoping away in a frenzy. I don't know what caught my head at that moment but suddenly I start dashing behind the rabbit, shrugging my back pack off my shoulder and dropping it on the ground. "Adonis!" I hear Theo shudder. Then the next moment, I hear Mr Alberty's voice shouting at me to come back. But I don't stop. I keep running behind the rabbit. In a few seconds, I hear another man's voice which I soon recognise as one of the two forest officers'. I could also hear heavy footsteps follo

Summer Camp Epilogue- Never Gonna Be Bored
1 month later Adonis's POV "Before announcing the names of the four who got selected into the team this year, I want to say a huge thanks to all nine of you who participated in the tryouts," Our Coach Mr Nelson says with a big smile on his face. "Your dedication, hard work, and passion for the game have been truly inspiring. I honestly wish to take all of you in the team but since there is a limit for the number of players, we can only select the best four. That doesn't mean your effort and determination have gone unnoticed. Remember that this is just one moment in your basketball journey, and there will be many more opportunities ahead. Keep working hard, stay focused, and continue to improve your skills. Your time will come." I feel anxious as I see Theo nod to the coach whilst biting his lips, standing in the middle of the row of nine boys who came for tryouts. He looks really nervous. I know he will cry if he doesn't get selected. The whole last month, he practised really hard.
Summer Camp 42. Date
Theodore's POV "Baby, are you tired?" Adonis asks me after we practice dribbling, passing and shooting for an hour. "Not really," I say and shoot the ball, aiming at the hoop but it fails to go through it. I leave a sigh and turn to Adonis. "Why can't I still do it?" "Look, Little one, basketball isn't something you master in a week. I've been playing for years and sometimes even I fail to score a basket. You're just being over-ambitious right now," he says in a scolding tone, making me pout. "Gosh, Theo! Now don't look at me like that! I feel like kissing you!" he says and comes towards me, making my heart pound faster. I thought he'd kiss me. But he only cups my face with his both hands and stares into my eyes. "Listen, you'll get better with practice. Be proud that you're already this good with just one week's practice." I nod to him and lean in kissing his beautiful lips. They slowly spread into a gentle smile against mine. "Did you already forget your Dad's ground rule?" H
Summer Camp 41. Video games
Adonis's POV My jaw almost drops open as Theo opens the door to his gaming room. "Damn!" Adrien mutters behind me. I can't even get any words to utter. I was seriously stunned seeing the huge luxury gaming room and the way it was set up. The room was a splash of blue and purple with RGB lights on the walls around installed game shelves. The ceiling looked like it was made up of clouds. There were two gaming PCs and in front of them were the perfect gaming chairs. Among other accessories was a comfy leather couch laid against the walls opposite the computers and near it was a mini fridge just an arm's reach away. This was really a gamer's dream room. "C'mon. What do you guys wanna play?" Theo asks stepping into the room and going to one of the computers. I and Adrien follow him behind in a daze. "This is seriously sick!" Adrien mutters, looking around the room with widened eyes as Theo boots the computer. Adrien was at first reluctant to come to Theo's house. But now it s
Summer Camp 40. Perfect
Theodore's POV "Theo, why was that Harry smiling at you so much during PE?" Adonis asks me as soon as I sit down with my lunch opposite him and Adrien. Adrien instantly starts giggling. "Theo, do you like Harry?" He asks me in between fits of laughter as if to tease Adonis. "Shut up, Ad!" Adonis smacks his hands playfully, only causing Adrien to giggle more. I can't help but smile looking at them. "Theo, what was Harry telling you?" Adonis looks at me again. "He was just asking me if you and I are dating," I reply, grabbing my fork. "Oh! And??" He asks. "I said I'm just friends with you both," I say and start having my spaghetti. "Oh, why?" Adrien asks. "You could have said you guys are dating, now that your Dad is okay with it." "Dad is okay with it. But I don't think my stepmom and other family members will be so accepting like him. And Adonis' parents also don't know," I reply whilst munching on a meatball. "I'll tell my parents soon," Adonis says. "They'll hopefully
Summer Camp 39. Naughty Business
Theodore's POV "Wait!" I tilt my face and look at Dad, withdrawing my hand from the car door handle. He had just parked the car in front of my new school and I was about to hop out. "I need to tell you a few things," Dad says with a serious expression on his face. I nod to him, quietly. "Why did we join this school?" He asks. I look at him confused. "Uhm...to study?" "Yeah, to study," he says. "So better concentrate on your studies. Don't be distracted by other matters." "I won't. I will study hard," I say while wondering what he actually meant by distraction. "And I don't want to be called to the school unless there is a parents meeting." I again nod to him, obediently. He lets out a chuckle. "Theodore, I'm not worried you'd enter into any fights or get into any bad boy gang in this school or pick up any bad habits. I know you wouldn't. What I mean is, absolutely no naughty business inside the school campus. Don't let anyone catch you kissing anyone or doing any such
Summer Camp 38. Stamina
Adonis's POV “Ah..Aiden...just let me sleep for some more time,” I groan and squirm uncomfortably, yanking away Aiden's hands. He was shaking me roughly, using all his strength while yelling my name. “C'mon, wake up, Adony! It's already late!” "Go away, Aiden! I wanna sleep," I say and hug my pillow, squirming my face into it. "No, get up! You agreed to come when I asked you yesterday. So, c'mon," Aiden says yanking down my blanket and grabbing hold of my wrist. “Aiden...ahh...leave me! It's sunday. I'm not coming," I say, opening my eyes a little and noticing he is already wearing his tracksuit and sneakers. "Look, I have early morning practice from tomorrow onwards. Today's the only day I can sleep peacefully before school reopens,” I whine, pulling my hands back. But he has an iron grip on my wrist and he keeps pulling me forward. So, I at last, bite his arm. He yelps, instantly withdrawing his hand and I smirk, pulling up my covers. "That's it! I'm telling Dad and Mom ab
Summer Camp 37. Future Boss
Theodore's POV "Congrats Theodore, your hand is all fine now," Dr Jones smiles at me while gently rubbing my arm. But I can't make myself smile, looking at the dry skin of my swollen arm. I thought to give Adonis a surprise today. That's why I didn't tell him yesterday, I'm getting rid of the cast before I go to Cypress for admission. But now I don't think he'll be so happy seeing my arm. It actually looked better inside the cast. "It's okay, the swelling will go away in a few days. Don't look so sad," Dr Jones says, smiling even broadly, trying to cheer me up. "Hmm...okay," I look up and give him a smile. "Your son is so cute, Daniel," Dr Jones says, turning to my Dad who was staring at my arm with a frown. Dr Jones is his best friend from high school. "Do you have any ointment or cream to reduce the dryness?" Dad asks him. "Yeah, I'll prescribe an ointment," he says and looks back at me. Then he gives me advice on washing my hands properly, using moisturizer liberally and mas
Summer Camp 36. Hope
Adonis's POV I flinch open my eyes to the calling bell ringing loudly downstairs. I had just drifted off into a nap after coming back home tired after basketball practice. We had 3 hours of practice from 9 to 12 today. Who might it be? Adrien?? No, we had lunch together and he said he has a class in the afternoon at the summer school. Maybe it's one of Aiden's friends. I close my eyes and I'm just about to drift back into sleep when I hear Aiden shout my name from downstairs. "Adony! Adony! Adonyyyy!!" "Haa...Aiden!" I shout back. "Yaaa...come downstairs. Some kid with a broken arm is asking to see you." Shit! I jump up from the bed and sprint out of my room to see Aiden interrogating Theo downstairs. "You are really his friend? What was your name again?" Aiden questions him with a frown while I'm dashing downstairs. "Theodore!" I squeal, making Aiden turn around and look at me with the same frown. "Adony, is he your friend?" He asks me. "Oh..yeah...er..he is my junior. He
Summer Camp 35. Everything's over
Theodore's POV "Theodore!" Miss Brown calls my name, frantically barging into my room, pushing open the door after hurriedly knocking just once. I quickly sit up from the bed where I have been comfortably lying between my pillows, texting Adonis after having breakfast. "Your Dad is very angry. Like really angry! He is calling you. Come downstairs immediately." "What's wrong?" I ask, feeling a tremor run down my body. "I don't know. He got a call from someone and he suddenly got angry. Please come down quickly," she says and turns around hurriedly leaving my room. I look at my phone screen to see Adonis's last message. 'Baby, I'll call you later. Break is over. Gotta go." He was texting me in between his basketball practice. With shivering fingers, I text him an 'okay' and place the phone aside. I feel my knees tremble as I crawl out of the bed and slowly walk out of the room. Did someone see me and Adonis together in the art gallery and inform Dad?! Or what if it's a
