I asked my mom and she approved my idea. On my way to the camp, I was thinking about some things I wanted to do in my life. I sure wanted to finish High School and then go to college, “What do I wanna be?” “What will happen while I'm reaching it?” I wondered full of excitement.
When we reached to the camp, I took my bag out of the car and my mom hugged me.
“If you need anything call me,” She said.
“Okay,” I said.
"Be good. Don't be too loud, don't be rude to the other kids and if you need to dance in the pouring rain, please... do it on the sidewalk," She told me.
"Okay," I replied laughing.
And I remember what my sister yelled from inside the car...
“And don't eat so much ice cream!”
Then, a woman from the camp said...
“Okay, Kids! Make two lines, girls in the left and boys in the right,”
I was really excited and I started talking with the girl in front of me.
“Is it the first time you come to this camp?” I asked.
“No, I've been here before. What's your name?” She asked.
“My name is Janette,” I answered.
“I'm Paula.”
“Do you like soccer?” I asked.
“Yes,” She answered.
“I like sports, but the truth is that I'm here for the drawing and writing classes,” I said.
Then the woman started talking.
“Okay that building over there is for the boys,” She said pointing at it. “and that other building is for the girls, now go and get ready for the soccer practice.”
So I took my bags and I walked to the building with my new friend. When we get there I put my bags on my bed. Then took my bible and put it under my pillow.
"Why do you put your bible under your pillow?" Paula asked.
"Oh, I always do that. That way I won't forget to read it before I go to sleep." I replied.
"That's a great idea!" She said as she was putting her bible under her pillow.

Later we walked to the soccer practice and the woman said “I wanna see those lines again.” After we were all in line she said. “Okay, girls, look to your right cause that boy is going to be your soccer partner for the first practices.” So I took a deep breath and looked to my right. There he was smiling at me...
“Hi, Jannette. Haven't seen you in a long time.” He said.
“Uum... Hi, partner. I mean, hi... Adam.” I said in shock.
After the practice was over we went to the cafeteria for something to eat. While I was on my way I felt some air behind me, and there he was... walking by my side.
“Hey, you are pretty good at soccer,” He said.
“You're kidding me, right?” I asked.
“Umm... No,” He said seriously.
“I didn't knew you played soccer,” I said.
“I'd never played soccer before,” He replied.
“Really?” I asked.
“Yeah, is soccer one of your favorite things to do?” He asked.
“The truth is, no.” I said.
“Then what do you really like?” He asked.
“I like to draw and I love to write,” I said.
When he asked that I thought, boy... Is this the real Adam? Until I heard this...
“Oh, I thought you would say eating ice cream.” He was laughing so hard that I punched him with my bottle of water and started walking fast to the cafeteria.
Then I sat at a table, started eating and he sat next to me, as he was silent I asked him...
“Are you planning to go to the drawing class?”
“I'm still thinking about it,” He answered.

At night I was with Paula in the building.
“So, how did you met him?” Asked Paula.
“Meet what?” I said as I brushed my hair.
“How did you met Adam?” She asked.
“Oh, well I met him... Okay, I won't tell you how I met him, but I met him at the square,” I answered.
“At the square?” She asked.
“Yep. Some pigeons helped me. Where did you met him?” I asked.
“Oh, he's from my school. I met him at the band,” She answered.
“Oh, you play an instrument?” I asked.
“Yes! I play the electric guitar and Adam plays the drums,” Paula said.
"How amazing! I've always loved the electric guitar.I play the violin, but I've always wanted to play the electric violin."
"That's great, maybe we should make a band!" Paula said

In the morning, I was on my way to the drawing class. When I got there I sat and looked around for Adam, but he was not there.
Just when the teacher started the class someone opened the door; it was Adam.
“Good night, Adam. (He said sarcastically) Seems like you're late.” Said the teacher.
“Yeah, I'm sorry,” He said.
I notice they didn't get on too well, but when the class was over Adam told me reasons why...
“The teacher...” He said.
“What about him?” I asked.
“He hates me,” He answered.
“Why?” I asked smiling.
“Okay... He was a teacher in my school, and he has hated me sense 5th grade when I accidentally threw a juice on his precious art... That day he learned my name.”
I opened my eyes really big.
“Yeah, I know. It's kind of scary,” He said.
“Then, I'll be extra careful,” I replied laughing. From there I started calling him "Friend".

In the evening my mom called me.
“Hello” She said
“Hello, Mom? How are you?”
“Oh, I'm good. What about you? What have you been doing these days?” She asked.
“Well, I've been in the drawing classes, they're excellent. I can't wait to show you what I've drawn,”
“Oh, I can't wait either and what about soccer?” She asked.
“Oh, soccer is fine, I guess... But I like the writing class more. Oh, a have a new friend she's name is Paula and she's really nice,” I replied.
“Oh, that's nice. How old is she?” She asked
“Well, she's about my age.” I said.
“And, Are you being good?” She asked
“Yes, mom... I haven't felt the need to burn up the camp!” I said.
“Okay, that's good!” She replied laughing.
“Your sister is bothering me, she wants to talk to you,” She told me.
“Okay, bye,” I said laughing.
“Bye, take care and be good,”
“Uhu... bye,” I said.
"God bless you, honey,"
Then Jezlynne was on the phone.
“Hello, sis!” I said.
“Hi, sis. How you've been? I hope you haven't burned the place up!” She asked.
“Ha...ha...ha... Good joke! Oh, do you remember the boy I met on the square?” I said.
“The one who laughed at you? Don't tell me.... He's there?! At the camp?” She asked.
“Yes, he's here. We've become pretty good friends and I found out he is not that lame,”
“You're joking, right?” She said laughing.
“Umm... no!”
“You know, deep inside, he's kind of a great guy,” I said.
“Well, I'm glad you two are getting along...”
After we hung up, I received a text message from Jezlynne saying... “I bet you'll end up falling in love with him... hahahahahaha!” “That wasn't funny at all.

A couple of weeks later, I was on my way to the writing class, and Adam yelled...
“Janette! Come here,” and I went his way.
“The ice cream man was here and I thought you would like an ice cream,” He said.
“Oh, thank you!” I said.
“Hey, Janette?... Did you heard about the play in the theater tonight?” He asked.
“Oh, yeah...” I said.
“Are you coming?” He asked.
“Well... Maybe, I'm not sure...”
“Perfect then see you tonight,” And he went away smiling.

At night I was at the building getting ready to go to the theater.
“Where are you going?” Asked Paula.
“I'm going to the theater with Adam.” I said.
“Really? I starting to think love is in the air.” Paula said laughing.
“What are you crazy? I don't like Adam,” I said.
“Mhm...”
After that conversation I got out of the door and I heard Paula scream... “Have fun!”
When I get to the theater, Adam was at the door waiting. When he saw me he opened the door. I sat in a chair not so far away from the stage and he sat next to me. After ten minutes watching the play we noticed it was boring, so I decided to make something about it... No! Is not what you're thinking, I was not going on stage or screaming or anything like it. I sat on the floor, looked at Adam and started crawling to the door, Adam's face was red trying not to laugh. When I opened the door we burst out laughing. Then I decided the night wasn't over, and I started walking where the orchestra rehearsed.
“Where are you going?” He asked.
I sat on a wall and said. “Oh, nowhere I just wanted to hear the orchestra,”
“Then let's enjoy it. Wanna dance?” He said as put his hand on the air.
“Yes.” I said gently as I jumped off the wall. We started dancing and then he asked...
“What are you planning to do?”
“When? Tomorrow?... In a month? Or In ten years?” I asked smiling.
“I don't know... Tomorrow, in a month and maybe in ten years,” Adam said.
“Well, tomorrow I'm going to the soccer practice in the morning. In a month... well, I'm starting 10th grade and in ten years... I'm not completely sure,” I said.
“Well, that's pretty good,” He said.
“What are you planning?” I asked.
“Well, I don't really know...yet,” Then he stopped dancing and stared at me.
“What?” I asked smiling. He kissed me on the cheek..
“I have to go,” I said all puzzled as I took a step back away from him.
“Okay...
THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEWS!!
