There are only a few weeks left until the group of friends part ways and head off to post-secondary school, each embarking on their own journey. "Come on, Zoe!" Sophia pleaded, giving Zoe a rendition of puppy dog eyes. "August 1st is a long weekend! You and I will be with the gang in a cabin out in the middle of nowhere!" Sophia bounced up and down with excitement. "Please say yes!" Zoe glanced down at her camera, feeling uncertain. "I don't know!" A sense of unease washed over her.

"August 1st is going to be the best send-off before we part ways." She spun around in a joyful circle. "What could possibly go wrong?" Zoe raised her brow with a dirty expression, 'the cabin perhaps!' she thought to herself but said nothing, not wanting to ruin Sophia's good mood.
