The Differences in Today

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Sep 11, 2021

It was 7:00 in the morning when Mr.Director came into our cabin. Apparently everyone was complaining that they had to wake up at 6:30 so he just obliged and said that he would wake everyone up at 7:00. Do you know how Mr.Director got us up? By playing loud music. And I mean really loud music.So the speakers are at full volume and he played Everybody Wake Up for everyone to hear. He even started to sing along.

   "EVERYBODY WAKE UP,WAKE UP!" says Mr.Director as he skips from cabin to cabin singing.

   "Shut up!" says Dianna getting out of bed,"I'm trying to sleep!"

   "Can everyone stop yelling!" says Unova,rolling out of bed.

     Soon after,Derick and Larry enter our cabin

    "AHHH! SUNLIGHT!" I say while covering my eyes.

    "Sorry Vicky," says Derick and Larry,walking into our cabin.

     "No offense but can you guys leave? I'M TRYING TO SLEEP!" says Dianna,turning her body away from us.

       "What's wrong with her?" says Larry with a condescending look.

        "She didn't sleep last night," says Unova,cutting him off.

         "Why?" says Derick,Larry,and I.

         "Because she was watching Aphmau videos," says Unova,almost yawning.

         "Wha-" 

         "Don't worry about what it is," says Unova,cutting Larry off again. I shrug and look at the guys.

         "EVERYONE GET DRESSED RIGHT NOW BEFORE I PLAY LET IT GO FROM FROZEN!" says Mr.Director,furiously.

         "Aye Aye Captain!" We say while getting our stuff and exiting the cabin. I quickly ran into the bathroom with my clothes and locked the stall.

        ........Weird I'm the only one in here.

          I got dressed and then I met my friends outside the bathroom. Dianna looked really furious and Unova looked pretty chill.

        "Don't talk to Dianna,she's very cranky,"says Unova,warning me as she enters the bathroom.

        "Duly noted,"I say back. I decide to meet with Derick and Larry,seeing that they're ready for the day even though their hair looks messy.

        "Mornin," says Derick as if nothing happened at all whatsoever.

         "Hey"

         "oooooooo Derick you liiike heeeer," says Larry laughing while running away.

         "LARRY I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" says Derick,blushing and chasing Larry.

           I go back to my cabin,grab my backpack,and take my earbuds out. I put on Non-Stop from  Hamilton. Not even a minute into the song and Dianna takes my earbuds out of my ears.

        "We're leaving and you're not going to listen to music while we're hanging out,"says Dianna,fiercely. God she really scares me to death. How I wish I was in someone else's shoes right now. Dianna drags me out of the cabin by my ear and places me next to Derick. 

       What the? What the hell just happened? and Owwwww that hurt.

       "Did you just get dragged here to?" says Derick.

        "Larry dragged you?" I say,while looking confused.

         "Nope,Unova did," says Derick once again.

            Why is this happening? 

           "ALRIGHT EVERYONE WE'RE GOING FISHING NOW FOLLOW ME!" says Mr.Director speed walking away from us. I'm surprised that he didn't lose his voice yet. And we're going fishing? We have a lake here? Since when? I was going to start walking away from everyone when Dianna caught me.

            "Nope. You're not doing this again," says Dianna, pulling me back.

            "You're not the boss of her," says Derick standing in front of me.

            "You can't tell me what to do asshole!"

            "SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU COW!"

             "YOU SHUT UP YOU PUSSY CAT!"

              "Guys! Let's just get along,talk,and pretend this didn't happen alright?" says Larry, while separating Dianna and Derick.

              Damn now that was fascinating. Never thought I would hear Larry say those words.

             Dianna and Derick didn't say anything and neither did me or Unova. The whole walk was nothing but silence. No one said anything. Not even an 'I'm sorry' from Dianna or Derick or any conversation starters from Unova or Larry.

           ~~~~~~.~~~~~~.~~~~~~.~~~~~~.~~~~~~

             After a couple of minutes of silence,we finally reach the lake.

            "Everyone,I'm going to give you a history lesson.This lake is called Lake Shallow.It's ironic because this lake is actually deep. Second, Camp Xtreme was originally a military base in WW1. There's your history lesson for today. Now, they're are fishing rods on the wagon over there. Go grab a rod,bait,and meet me over by the dock so I can teach you how to fish," says Mr.Director,walking away. 

            We do as we were told and meet him by the dock. He shows us what we need to do,stands back,and watches us fish. I fished right next to a random girl and a random boy. Mr.Director didn't need to teach me how to fish because I actually went fishing with my mom and dad a year ago. I caught a big Sea Robin. Back to the present. I sat down on the dock and waited for a fish to come. Then, what felt like hours passed by, I caught a fish! I reel the fish in, making sure it didn't escape, and see what I caught. It was a Big Bass. Everyone stares at me amazed, jaws dropped to the ground. Mr.Director came over,took a picture of me and the fish,unhooked the fish,and tossed it back into the water. I look over to my left and I see Unova giving me a small smile.

     ~~~~~~.~~~~~~.~~~~~~.~~~~~~.~~~~~~

      After 20 minutes passed, Mr.Director told us to bring the fishing rods back to the wagon. I can't believe that no one else caught any fish. After I put my rod back,Unova meets up with me.

        "Congrats on catching that fish,"says Unova,"I'm mad I didn't catch any. How did you do it?"

        "Patience"

        "Hey guys," says Larry, walking in the middle of us.

         "Hey," I reply 

          "Sup," says Unova

          "Do you guys want to walk back to the cabins together without Derick and Dianna? You know, let them cool off?"

          "Sure," says Unova and I.

          This time the walk wasn't filled with silence. It was filled with laughter. We talked about our favorite anime to watch and our favorite parts. Mine is Fairy Tail, Unova is SAO, and Larry is Blue Exorcist. When we got back,I took out my phone and looked at the time. It was 12:10. As we were about to go into the cabins, Mr.Director told us to go to the fire pit which was located right behind his office.

        "Alright guys guess what? We're having lunch! The lunch for today is Tacos in a Doritos bag. I've already cooked the meat,brought out the cheese,sour cream,salsa,Doritos,and the silverware so everyone come up and grab a bag," says Mr.Director putting the meat into the bag. Again,everyone listens to him and lines up. Wow. I'm impressed. Usually there are some people that don't want to listen and cause problems. Just like at school. Glad to see that isn't the case here. When it was my turn to get lunch, Mr.Director hands me a chocolate chip cookie along with my lunch.

         "This is for catching a fish," says Mr.Director,handing me the cookie.

         "Thanks Mr.Director"

         "You're welcome"

           I left and sat down at a table all by myself because Unova and Larry were still on line and Derick and Dianna are still hot-headed. I decide to listen to music,put one earbud in my ear(just in case Larry or Unova came over) and put on Believer by Imagine Dragons. 2 minutes later,Larry and Unova came over to my table and sat down.

        "Do you think they're still mad at each other?" says Unova,scooping food out of the bag.

        "Let's just eat and not worry about them," says Larry,after he's done swallowing his food.

         "Agreed," I replied and went back to eating.

          Suddenly,Derick and Dianna came rushing over to our table.Derick sat next to me and Dianna sat in between Larry and Unova.

          "Alright! I'm sorry for calling you a pussy cat," says Dianna,putting her hands on the table.

           "You also owe an apology to Vicky. Not just me," says Derick,crossing his arms together.

            "I'm sorry Vicky. I shouldn't have dragged you out of the cabin and forced you to hang out with us. I'm sorry,"says Dianna,sincerely.

            "It's fine. I forgive you," I say while scooping food out of my bag.

             "Finally everyone made up thank god," says Unova. Suddenly, someone threw food at Mr.Director and someone threw food at the kid and then everyone was throwing food at each other. The fight lasted for an hour and everyone was covered in food. Even Mr.Director. Soon after,he told us to clean up.

           ~~~~~~.~~~~~~.~~~~~~.~~~~~~.~~~~~~.~~~~~~.

            It took us 4 hours to clean up because some people had to get food on the gaga pit, in the pool area,and we all had to take showers. After we were done, Mr.Director told us to go back to our cabins. I looked at my phone and it's 5:10. I decide to text my friends for the time being. AyeAyeHappy! is me, LegendaryAsuna is Unova, OldManFujimoto is Larry, BadAssBan is Derick, and Dianna is TamakiSenpai. 

               AyeAyeHappy!- Hey

               AyeAyeHappy-How's everyone doing?

               OldManFujimoto-Good. Is anyone else alive?

               BadAssBan-No. I'm dead because of all that work! Ughhhhhhhhhh!

               BadAssBan- What about you Asuna?

               LegendaryAsuna-.........

               TamakiSenpai-I think she's dead to

               TamakiSenpai-Also, If you're dead how can you talk to us?

               TamakiSenpai-How can Asuna talk to us?!

               LegendaryAsuna- Everyone shut up! I'm trying to sleep!

               BadAssBan-If you're trying to sleep then don't talk

               AyeAyeHappy!-Or silence your phone. That always works

               LegendaryAsuna-I'm trying to listen to music!

               OldManFujimoto-While you're sleeping?

               OldManFujimoto-Who does that?

               AyeAyeHappy!-uh me

               TamakiSenpai-same

               BadAssBan-Why? You're brain is still awake 'cause of the music

               TamakiSenpai-uh 'cause music helps people fall asleep

               TamakiSenpai-ever tried it?

               OldManFujimoto-oh no please don't fight right now

               LegendaryAsuna-SHUT UP!! 

               BadAssBan- what are you mad about?

               LegendaryAsuna- WEREWOLVES HAVE SENSITIVE HEARING! MY PHONE KEEPS VIBRATING 'CAUSE OF YOU GUYS

                BadAssBan- THEN SILENCE IT AND STOP TALKING!

                AyeAyeHappy!-oh no 

                AyeAyeHappy!-not another fight

                AyeAyeHappy!- I'm leaving now

                AyeAyeHappy!-bye

               I quickly silence my phone and hide underneath my blanket. I can see light coming out from my phone screen but I ignore it 'cause I want sleep and I don't want to die. Maybe someday but not now. I eventually shut my eyes and go to sleep.
