Racing to find a place for my soul ... Or at least a place that's less familiar

Most people were sleeping or otherwise engaged when Phoebe snuck out of bed and left Cole sleeping to come outside. The last couple of days had been draining and sad, and now with the news that Nadia was leaving, well, Phoebe was feeling a wee bit emo.

She made her way out to the dead Koala campfire and stared into the ashes for a bit before picking up a stick and making random designs in the dirt and ashes with it.

A lot of people had left, and more were going to. People just kept going away.

Nadia was one of her best friends, like family... and Phoebe didn't want to see her leave.

It was depressing and summer was way too hot.

She wouldn't mind being interrupted.

Phoebe opened one eye when she heard movement outside the cabin and then tightly closed her eyes again. She buried her face back in Cole's shoulder and may have murmured something disparaging about mornings.

Phoebe woke up earlier than usual and lay in the beds with Cole, wondering if she should get up right away, or if she should stay curled up with her boyfriend for just a little bit longer.

She had Karate this morning and then in the afternoon she had a cheerleading meeting --- and she couldn't believe how excited she was about that. She was doing cheerleading again and she knew that when she finally wrote to Grams and Prue about it, they'd be happy she was cheering again.

She smirked a little as she curled up against Cole again. He seemed pretty happy that she was a cheerleader, too --- but he hadn't seen her in the uniform yet. She wondered how soon she should warn him that he wouldn't be the only one seeing her in the tiny skirt?

She was enjoying the camping thing, but she would really be happy when they were back in the dorms and she and Cole could have a little bit of privacy again. She liked all of their cabin mates just fine and they were fun... but privacy would be a welcomed return.

Hrmm... getting up or not getting up? That was the important question of the day.
