He had agreed immediately when hearing the offer. It was good to have a friend on the trip even when it was just for the short drive - Sage’s presence calmed him down. And he wouldn’t probably even be able to focus on driving. Elias was extremely nervous, however the feeling also consisted of bits of excitement. He had too many thoughts in his mind. Elias was glad to be able to spend Christmas in the States, but he was also scared about it. He had always been bad at making new friends and he was scared he would be spending the following two weeks completely alone. Sure, Elias wanted to meet new people and have fun, but he didn’t still know if coming to Second Horizons was a good idea. First of all it was definitely a dumb idea to go on a camp focused on winter sports in order to avoid doing any winter sport related activities. Elias’ family had a tradition of spending every other Christmas in Sweden with the swedish side of the family. Those trips in Sweden often included a lot of winter activities. Elias’ deep hatred towards winter sports wasn’t the only reason for him not wanting to spend Christmas in Sweden. He didn’t really keep contact with his father or any other swedish family members besides his biological mom. He didn’t understand why he needed to pretend to be a big happy family on Christmas time, when they normally didn’t exchange news or anything. [color=#87A7FF]"How long you're going to stay in the car? We arrived almost ten minutes ago."[/color] Sage's voice bringed Elias back to reality. [color=palevioletred]"Oh, sorry. I was just lost in thoughts. You should've said something earlier!"[/color] The blonde one said as he got out of the car. Sage, who also got out of the car, murmured about how she indeed had said something earlier, but Elias just had not heard her at first. The couple of friends walked towards the car trunk, Elias took out the bigger suitcase and Sage took out the smaller one. [color=palevioletred]"I guess it's too late to back off now."[/color] Elias grinned a little after finishing his sentence. [color=#87A7FF]"Pfft. You're overreacting too much. I'm hundred percent sure everything will go all right!"[/color] Sage kept a small break in her speech to check time. [color=#87A7FF]"Oh, I really need to go now. But if everything doesn't go all right, remember you can always message me!"[/color] They hugged as a goodbye. Then Sage hurried back to the car and rode away. [i][color=palevioletred]She's right: I'm overreacting. Everything will go all right. I will be fine.[/color][/i] After his internal pep talk Elias decided it was a right time to leave the parking lot. Leave? Where? Well… He wasn't exactly sure, but if he just kept walking in the camp area, he would eventually run into other people. So Elias took his suitcases and started to walk aimlessly. Walking with two suitcases was a little difficult but he could manage. After a little while of walking, Elias found himself in area that seemed to be the center of the camp since it was surrounded by the four cabins. There was also a bonfire pit and a massive christmas tree. Elias' focus switched from the tree to the people around it. Two of them seemed to be counselors while the rest were campers. When he got closer he noticed a situation going on: on the ground there was a guy on top of a girl. Some sort of stumble accident, perhaps? Elias didn't know how to react or what to say. So he just ended up standing there quietly like an idiot, both hands filled with suitcases. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/UFkU4NP.png[/img][/center]
