Under the Stars
On a beautiful night such as this, with the cold air gently playing with the fire, the sound of laughter ringing through Hosuh’s ears, he could stay like this for hours. As the sound of chatter slowly filled Hosuh’s thoughts, he drifted off to sleep.
Not long after he had fallen asleep Stephen shook him awake. “Hosuh you can’t fall asleep now. We’ve only just arrived!” Stephen pouted. “Besides if you sleep out here you’ll probably catch a cold so…” Stephen’s face lit up and soon he ran off towards the car park.
Hosuh turned back towards the campfire rubbing his eyes and noticed that Jay had brought a guitar and was teaching Dan and Ann how to play. Hosuh stood up and walked over to the three, placing himself near Ann, the closest to the fire.
“Oh, hey, Hosuh!” Ann whispered, not taking her eyes off of the guitar. “How’s your night going?”
Hosuh looked up at the night sky, briefly mesmerized by the stars. “This is wonderful! How did you guys find this place?”
“Don’t tell anyone that I told you this but this was all Stephen’s idea-” but before Ann could finish she was interrupted with yelling.
Jay stopped tuning the guitar and looked up only to find-“Stephen I thought we agreed on-”
“Shush!” Stephen sprinted back to the campfire holding… blankets? “I knew that someone would get cold so me being the greatest friend, brought along five blankets for if any of us got cold!” Stephen rushed over to Hosuh and dropped the bottom blanket on his head. “Warm up!” Next he dropped a blanket on Ann, Jay and had two left over.
Dan covered his mouth with his hand and started coughing into it.
“Hmm? Did you want something, Dan?” Stephen giggled, followed by everyone except Dan.
“Stephen,” Dan inched toward Stephen, Dan’s face an unreadable expression.
Before they all knew it Dan started to sprint after Stephen, causing Stephen to drop both the blankets and run away. Ann and Hosuh both tried their bests to save the blankets but it was futile. Jay was snickering behind the pair. Ann and Hosuh, unknowingly, both stuck their tongues out at Jay. He broke out into a laugh.
“JAY! HELP ME!” Stephen wheezed out.
Jay exhaled sharply before rubbing the tears off of his face. He sighed but still stood up.
This night was going to be good.
