This is my first attempt at telling a story. Please lt me know
Taylor was Sophomore in high school and had just moved from Houston to the middle of nowhere in east Texas. Taylor was 5’9”with short brown hair and an athletic body. He was mad a his parents for making him to leave all his friends and moving him to city where the biggest thing to do was go to Wendy’s on Friday night. There was no movie theater, no mall, and no bowling ally. The only thing that made Taylor happy was there was a Boy Scouts troop in this small town. Now normally he would not be to happy about it, but this troop went camping every weekend and he would be able to get away from his parents, and during the summer they go camping for a month and a half. This meant the first half of the summer he would be camping and the other half his parents promised that he could go back to Houston and stay with a friend, but summer was still 6 months away and he did not think he could wait that long.
Taylor went to the local high school, and was going to try out for the football team next year. He was a nobody. At his old school he was pretty popular, and was a star on the football team. Now at school is really when he missed his friends.
The first Scout meeting was Wed night. He was happy to get out of the house so he left a few minutes early to hopefully meet some new people. To his surprise a few people on the football team wear also boy scouts. SO he went to talk to them and introduce yourself.
I have the next part if you like it.
“Hi. My name is Taylor” Taylor said.
“You’re the new kid who moved from Houston right?” Cody said. “My name is Cody. This is John, Michael, and Chris.”
“Hey” The other three boys stated.
“You want to try out for the football team next year right? Well we are all on the team. Maybe we can workout some time.” Cody said.
“Yeah that would be great” Taylor replied. He could not believe it. He just made a few friends and they were on the football team. Taylor thought that maybe things will not be as bad as He first thought.
“Well its time to start. Why don’t you come sit by me.” Cody said as he was walking away.
“Thanks” Taylor replied as he started following Cody.
“Welcome tonight to the meeting” The troop leader said. “This weekend the camping trip will be the first no adult supervised camp out.” Everyone cheered. Did he really hear it right. Were there going to be no adults going with them. Taylor was so excited. “You have earned it. Now don’t make me regret it. If anything happens this will also be the last one.” The troop leader said. The rest of the night was a blur to Taylor. He remembers be introduced to the rest of the group, but that was it.
He could not wait for Friday to come and when it Finally did he could not wait to meet the guys at the church to leave. When he got there the rest of the guys were already there. They had the truck packed with everything. There were eight of them total going. Taylor, Cody, Michael, John, Chris, Ryan, Zach, and Dan. Cody and Chris were the oldest so they were driving. Cody the truck and Chris the van.
“Hey, I am going to tent with the new kid so he and I will follow you Chris in the van.” Cody Stated. “So y’all decide who is tenting with who and lets get going.”
So they all get into the vehicles and start driving down the road. Taylor thought this was going to be a great weekend. He felt a little strange cause this is the first time he ever tented with someone. In his old troop they always had there own tents, but at east he was tenting with one of the cool kids. As they were driving down the road Cody and Taylor started talking.
“So why did your family move up here?” Cody asked.
“I was getting to some troubles and my parents decided that living near Houston was not a good place for me.” Taylor replied
“Do you have a girlfriend here?” Cody asks.
“Nope my last one broke up with me a month before we left and I have meet no one here yet.” Taylor replies.
“Really all of my girlfriends friends think you are hot. I will have to introduce you.” Cody stated.
“Really. Thanks man that would be great. I would owe you big time.” Taylor answers.
“Don’t worry about it. What are friends for.” Cody states with a smile on his face. “Also there are a few rules when going camping in the troop. What happens on the camping trip stays between us. No alcohol, no drugs, and no being a wimp. Everyone works are and we all have fun. Deal?
“Deal.” Taylor replies. This weekend is going to be fun.
They talked the rest of the way to the camp site, and it really helped the time fly.
