Camping

RYAN" Bro?" Josh tapped my shoulders to get my attention."hmm?" I lazily turned my head towards him."I think we should head back, It's getting dark". I looked up at the sky, it was turning to a darker shade of bluish orange, which was getting reflected on the wide stretch of waters before us.There was a light breeze,ruffling my hair and the weather was getting a bit colder, I could hear the birds chirping at a distance on the trees.The entire scenery was kind of beautiful and calming, I don't usually get to observe all these amazing things, very often, due to my never ending workload.It's a good thing that we have planned to take a break every year, so that we could leave all our worries behind and bond together and experience bliss." yeah let's go back, this should be enough for all the four of us". I said looking at the bucket filled with fishes we had caught aha... Actually josh had caught the majority of them while I just layed back and relaxed.Josh got up from his seat and started stretching himself. We both had been fishing for more than an hour now.Alec and Zach didn't join us as they are setting up the tents and campfire. It's our fourth day here in NZ, and we decided to go camping today.Gathering all our fishing equipments, we started walking back."Hope those two have arranged everything, I'm starving" Josh said rubbing his stomach.I snorted at this, "You're always starving, what's new in that?". Josh huffed angrily and glared at me.I must say that this guy next to me has a huge appetite, in fact all the four of us have a remarkable appetite, but no matter how much we eat, we make sure to workout regularly in order keep ourselves lean and fit.Alec was sitting on his haunches, arranging firewood, when we both returned back to the campsite. Two tents were already set up, but I don't think we will need it as we were planning to sleep outside.The sky was getting slightly cloudy and Zach had insisted on building tents just in case it rains as precautionary measure."Yo boys!" He said lifting his head slightly when he heard our footsteps.Josh dumped the fish bucket next to the fire wood and greeted him back."What took you guys this long? " Alec asked "I thought you two had lost your way""Nay.. We are late because someone was too lazy to fish, and I was the only one doing all the hard work there" Josh started. There he goes bragging!. 

"So...I deserve bigger share of food tonight".

"Heyy.. Stop taking credits. I did help you catch three fishes, didn't I?? " I retorted backJosh rolled his eyes saying, "Exactly, you just caught three small ones while I was the one who caught the rest"."I would have caught more than you if I had not gotten bored sitting there and waiting for the fishes to fall into my trap". I said Matter of factly."Admit it you are not that good at fishing as I am" He smirked at me devilishly."Huh..., nobody would believe it, if you say that the great Ryan Adams is not good at a particular task" I said proudly.Josh scoffed and said "Great ha? Go and have a look at your face in the mirror" Josh answered back "the only thing you're good at is flirting around with stupid girls and fooling them with your ohh so charming self"."Wow now you agree, that I am charming?? " I asked grinning widely which irritated Josh even more."Offo! You two stop bantering around and help me set this up,will you? ". Alec interrupted us pointing at the griller." Where's Zach?" I asked noting that Zach was not with us.Alec just pointed towards his left and we both turned our heads in that direction to see Zach fast asleep on his hammock, which was tied between two trees.Lazy bugger!"He seemed to be in a good mood today!". I heard Josh comment."Hmm.." I agreed.He was indeed in a very good mood, since this morning. We were used to the grumpy moody state, he had been in for past two days, ever since that coffee splashing incident, but today he was unusually happy. I wonder what brightened him up?.Believe it or not, this morning zach bought Belgium chocolate shakes and a tray of cookies for all of us from some local cafe ,which is soo not like him.Because he never steps into small shops unless it is extremely popular and worth his time and money, I really don't understand what interested him in a small infamous cafe that he,himself went there and I have not once seen him buy cookies and chocolate drinks for anyone, let alone himself but he did today.Shockingly, he ate half of the cookies, he had bought home and drank his share of chocolate shake to it's very last drop as if he had never tasted anything like it before."You can say that he is acting weird since he retuned back from wherever he had been to this morning" Alec said. "I even caught him laughing alone".Mr. grumpy head laughing?? Has the sun raisen from the West today?"Josh go and wake him up" I told Josh. While I turned to help Alec set up the barbeque.Josh went near Zach, who was sleeping soundly, bending his face near Zach's ears, he suddenly shouted out loud "GET UP SLEEPYHEAD!! ".The impact of his shout made Zach jerk awake, almost making him fall off the hammock." What the heck man!". Zach yelled at Josh angrily."Shut up and get your ass up there... Give us a helping hand in frying the fishes we have caught ""Can't you boys do it yourself?" Zach asked laying back and placing his arms under his head making himself comfortable for another round of sleep.Josh roughly held Zach's shirt pulling him by the collar and forcefully yanking him up. "No we can't do it by ourselves, you better join us now"I heard Zach groan loudly before he jumped off the hammock."I wonder what's gotten into him?" I heard Alec mutter next to me.Zach is the only guy in our gang, who acts sensibly as a responsible person,taking the initiative to make sure that things are going perfectly according to the plan and today he is not even bothering to do anything. This lazy, carefree side of Zach is something alien to us."You Dumb asses won't even let me sleep peacefully" Zach grunted at us accusingly before grabbing the skewer and sitting on a log of wood next to the campfire."Were you dreaming about anything? A girl perhaps?" I asked him cheesily nudging his shoulders.Zach didn't respond immediately, but slowly an devilish smile appeared on his face. You know the kind he puts on when he is up for a challenge."Nah! I wasn't dreaming, but was thinking instead""About what?" Alec asked"About my next move" He said smirking"What is it now Zach?, Some business issue? " Josh asked"Nope" and we didn't question him further, knowing that we won't get any sensible answers.I wonder what Zach is upto now??The rest of the night went pretty well, with us teasing around, eating and drinking . Just as Zach had predicted it did drizzle a little, around midnight and we had to drowsily wake up and drag our sleeping bags inside the tents.
