Camp Closeted novel Chapter 28

It was a complete struggle since Cadence and I were the only ones rowing, and it didn't help that the canoe was really big.

Posh turned towards me as he pulled out a large bright blue fan that included some purple flower designs on it, opening and fanning himself with it as I looked at him blankly. "You look really hot today Mickey." He complimented as he looked pass Benny to look at me.

Um what? Mickey? Mickey Mouse?

I slightly tilted my head in confusion, trying to process the name he just called me. "T-thanks, it's Micah." I replied, making him turn back around as I couldn't bare the fact that Cadence and I were really the only ones doing anything.

Posh noticed this also, making him speak out. "From the very deepest part of my heart, I would help row, but I just did my acrylics and they're stilettos this time." He fluttered his incredibly sharp light blue nails into the air as I sighed. "Milan, you have no nails and no excuse not to help, so help! Also Benny, not to be racially insensitive to your history or whatever, but you should help out in rowing the boat also." He shrugged.

Benny slowly moved his head back as he was shocked for Posh to talk to him like that. "Bitch the only thing insensitive is your eyesight because you clearly can't see how wack those nails look. It's giving very much twigs you picked off the forest. I'll row the boat if I want to, but I don't. If you're ass can sit still look pretty and do nothing just because of your slender man nails, then I think I can choose not to do anything also. Please don't ever tell me what to do again, I will deadass push you over the boat and those nails won't be the only thing that will get ruined, please don't try me." He snapped, making me slightly nervous as I couldn't control my mouth from dropping.

Posh didn't bother looking back at Benny as his high pitched voice began to reply. "I find sitting still looking pretty and admiring my expensive nail acrylics that apparently look like "twigs" is better than doing nothing, but I get what you mean, I guess."

Benny imitated Posh as he rolled his eyes back. That went smoother than I thought it would. I was scared that they would fight and make this canoe tip over or something.

Posh pat Milan on the shoulder. "Here's Cadence's paddle, he's on break." Milan's mouth rapidly widened. "Cadence, I want you to take a cute picture of me, make sure to get the flower in my ear." Posh turned around, beginning to pose as Benny and I watched from Cadence's phone screen.

I stopped rowing since I noticed the canoe began to move on it's own, giving me a chance to look around at my gorgeous surroundings.

I watched as the tall evergreen trees glistened from a distance as the gorgeous sun defined all of them. Taking a deep breath also helped me realize how crystal clear and crisp the air is out here instead of my city.

Milan began to talk. "Oh my gosh, you guys look! There's so many little fishies under the boat!" He quickly moved his head out front to look, catching all of our attentions except Benny.

Benny remained frozen still as he squeaked to himself, making me talk to him about his sudden stiffness. "Benny, look at how much salmon is swimming under our boat right now!" I grinned, trying to move him so he can see.

Benny shook his head. "Nope, nopety nope, hell no." He quietly cried making my mouth drop in amusement.

"Is that why you didn't wanna come at first?" I raised an eyebrow at him, grinning behind him as I couldn't believe Benny's biggest fear is something so simple. "Are you scared of fish?"

"Shut up, I'm not looking down there." He tightly closed his eyes as everyone else looked down at the fish in excitement.

I laughed to myself as everything all of a sudden became quiet.

The amount of fish that began to pass the boat was immense. There was an army of them and I couldn't believe my eyes.

All of us just awkwardly looked at each other as our boat began to move in a faster pace.

Faster..

Faster...

Okay now it's a little too fast..

Posh rapidly yelped out, breaking the silence. "Um, I think the boat is supes going off course!"

My eyes widened as strong currents of water carried us away from where we were supposed to go. Fuck.

Benny quickly stood up, gently rocking the boat which made Milan and Posh's screams echo even around the forest far away from us.

Benny's loud voice quickly captured our attention. "Okay listen, I'm not dying like this and have salmon eat me alive! Everyone better pick up a damn paddle and row our asses outta here!" Posh quickly winced at him as everyone began to get to work except for him.

"Um, but like, salmon won't eat you, they're not piranhas, they're completely harmless." Posh calmly explained, remaining seated as Benny immediately towered over him with his hands up in the air.

Benny rapidly replied as he picked up the paddle with both hands. "Potato tomato, all fish are the same! Now forget about your nails and row bitch!" Posh's eyes widened as he picked up the paddle that Benny dropped on his nimble frame.

All of us worked hard to row, but it didn't matter. It seemed to not even work since the water underneath us only progressively got stronger.
