CHAPTER 1: Back Into the Swing of Things

Steve woke to the great bright sun shinning upon his pale white face. He bloody forgot where he was, but quickly it came back to him and he remembered. It was the summer, a tuesday morning, and he has been nineteen years of age for four full days now. He was loving it; he could nearly go and please wherever he wanted to. He looked over to his left and saw Mark laying down still, snoring about as loud as a train in the tube. Steven nearly laughed at the sight. Having a sudden reminder from his bladder, he rose and unzipped the tent and found a suitable site away from his tent and the tent that Wendy and Jessica were in. Upon his return, he found that alas Jessica had also woke and was rousing the rest of the group.

"Morning" Jessica hollered up as she saw Steven walking back down the path towards camp.

"Hey." Steve replied, hurrying to his tent to remove his gear as so to break camp for the day and return to the car. It was at this instant that a familiar face came walking down an opposite trail towards the camp; and Wendy was the first to notice.

"Well look who it is.." She said outloud nearly in shock, "it's John "F*cking Superman" Dixon... fancy meetin' you here." Her giggles caught the best of her and she returned to her own packing.

"Hello. Enjoying the outdoors are you?"

"They're just fine." Steven returned with a smile brighter than the mid-morning sun. "What took you so long Johnny? We were expecting you sometime last night before dark..."

"I know, sorry but I got a bit caught up at home. Christina was amazingly there when I got there, which I personally acredit towards my parents. And then I ran into some traffic on the way. Thinking that I was way off course, I made camp for the night, and then by luck after I woke, found that indeed I was just going in a circle last night and found the right trail up to here." John said while climbing up a bit of a sheer face of rock that separated the camp from attack advancing up the hill. John had been here many times before in his childhood with a few of his cousins. He was always played to be the 'Knight in Shinning Armor', with his cousins being the evil barbarians of the woods.

"Oh.. you're here.." Said an extremely sleepy Mark just coming out of the tent barely clothed.

"So, did I miss anything last night?" John said finally up to the altitude of everyone else.

"Only the greatest and wildest sex imaginable..."

"Oh?" John questioned, "I didn't know that Mark is gay now.." Which gave everyone a bit of a laugh, even the blushing Mark.

"I was just joking Johnny." Steve said in retaliation. "But, I'm glad you were able to make it up here." And with that, the two secret lovers embraced and gave a kiss to each others' lips, but not enough to embarass Mark, Jess and Wendy.

"Well, I guess we'd better leave you two alone for a little bit to make up lost time.." Wendy jested and retreated back into her tent with Mark and Jessica.
=============================================================
Linda sat at home flicking through the channels when her telephone rang. She really paid no more attention to it untill her brother, all greased up from fixing yet another problem on the Corvette, informed her that the call was for her.

"Well who is it?"

"Not sure, it's some bloke.."

"Oh, why didn't you tell me that in the first place, you wanker..." She scowled as she made her way out of the sitting room and to the kitchen where the telephone was. She picked the reciever up and had a tiny bit of chit-chat and hung it right back in it's spot. Immediately Linda progressed up the single flight of stairs to her room and began changing. When she got down and out of the house, she was almost out of the driveway when her brother ran out the door.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"I have to fill in for some bloody old hag who called in sick. I'll be back later."

"Bleeding Christ, just be careful with the car; you pop another curb and you'll be learning how to fix the car." Her brother called after her.

Little did Linda's brother know, that Linda was really off to meet an absolutely cute guy that had come in to her work a few days ago.
==============================================================
Sarah Carter watched as Linda pulled away from her house, and gave a quick warm smile to her sons' protector. Retreiving the mail, she walks back into her home and starts going through the mail one at a time. It wasn't until she was standing still in the middle of the hall not saying anything that Graham noticed that she wasn't back in her chair with the mail. He started his search for her, and after finding her in the second place he looked, he had a question or two.

"Sarah, what on god's earth are you doing just standing there?"

"Um.." Was all that Sarah could manage after what she had just read.

"Well, out with it.."

"Graham; I think we'd best sit down." Finally moving back to the sitting room and taking their appropriate seats, she spoke again. "This is a college acceptance letter that Steven just got back today in the mail." Sarah said nearly trailing off.

"Ah; that's great news!"

"No it isn't."

"Why, which school did he get accepted into?"

"Graham," Sarah said with reluctance in her voice, "he's been accepted to Oxford."

"Well why in the hell isn't that good news? That is one of the best schools that England's got to offer..."

"Yes, but I didn't tell you what campus he's been accepted into."

Graham took a moment or two to stare out the window until he asked the inevitable. "What campus Sarah?"

"It is an international programme, where he will attend college at John Hopkins University in the United States."
