Hesitantly, Grace took the blindfold from Sidney but didn’t cover her eyes with it just yet. “Now I’m really fucking curious. What kind of surprise is it that I gotta be blindfolded? You know this is, like, the set up for some shitty horror flick.” She teased before taking the blindfold and tying it over her eyes. She trusted Sidney enough to not see where she was being taken. However, she had to admit that being in a car and feeling the movement but not seeing anything was a very odd sensation.
At Sidney’s questions, Grace merely laughed. “Nope. No one tried to push me into the lake; but this one counselor named Travis got pushed into the pool by me and some of the other girls during our free weekend… He’s actually from Roseboro too, just moved to town.” She replied, reminiscing briefly on what had happened between the two of them at camp as a smile found its way to her face. At Sidney’s next words, the smile only widened. “Don’t worry. I missed you too.” She replied, turning to face the other girl, even though she couldn’t see her. “But at least you had a cat to keep you company. I had eight fifth grade girls.”
Feeling the car come to a stop, Grace began to reach for her blindfold, not going to untie it; but just going to make sure it was still secure. She heard Sidney get out of the car; and then she heard the passenger door open and felt the rush of crisp night air. Reaching up, she let Sidney take her hand and lead her out the car to wherever she was being taken. When she felt the blindfold being taken off, Grace closed her eyes just like she was told. She really wanted to peek, just to know what the surprise was; so the instant Sid told her to open her eyes, she did.
“What the-?” She gasped in shock, turning to look at her friend. “What is this?” She was standing in front of a beautifully decorated table, with lights twinkling all other the place and making the atmosphere even more picturesque; but she was confused. Why here? What was Sidney up to?
Laughing, Sid brought the chair out for Grace to sit in. “This is your surprise. I figured with everything that was going on and all the crap that you had to deal with from your parents, I figured you needed a night that wasn’t involved in all of that. Plus it gave me a reason to decorate the backyard.” Sid said laughing as she sat down.
Moving the lid from the tray, the girl pulled out the array of fruits and a bottle of cider and put it on the table. “It’s still to hot of a lot of hot foods, but I figured a nice night out under the stars would relax you after all the stuff that’s been going on. Besides you can catch me up on summer camp and I can catch you up on what’s going to happen come senior year.” The brunette said smiling at Grace. It was nice to just be here with her and not have to worry about anything.
The only issue is, Grace didn’t look as happy as she wanted her to be. Sidney hoped that she wasn’t the only one feeling feelings but just in case she decided to hold off on telling Grace for the time being. She wanted to see how the night went first. “So tell me, how did you enjoy summer camp?”
