Being the only one Patrick ‘tolerated’ besides Henry, you were stuck in a tent with him. The school had conducted a camping trip a few hours from Derry for the 8th graders and being apart of the Bowers Gang, you all went.

You had just set up yours and Patricks tent since he was in a mood you wouldn’t let him near the mallet — or lighters — and you were putting the air mattresses up along with the sleeping bags for you and Patrick.

That took around 10 minutes and once you were sorted, everyone gathered around the campfire to chill for the rest of the night.

Henry came over, snickering and whispering about how he ‘accidentally’ tripped some kid over which got a small giggle out of you. You all set up the camping chairs and sat down. You were sat inbetween Patrick and Henry, with Victor and Belch sat next to eachother on Henrys side.

“Can I light it?”

Patrick asked, eyeing the unlit pile of logs.
