Adam sat in the passenger seat of Buggzys car. He looked out the window at the wilderness, illuminated by the moonlight. Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd played loudly over the radio while A.J. sang along from the backseat.

Adam looked out into the forest as he brought his cigarette up to his lips. Buggzy spotted him from the drivers seat and plucked the smoke from Adam's fingers.

"What the hell?" Adam asked.

"I thought you were quitting man! I'm tellin' you, this shit is going to kill you." Buggzy said as he rolled down his window and threw the cigarette outside.

"I didn't say any shit like that! And what the fuck do you care about my health?" Adam asked.

"I'm just looking out for you. Someone has to." Buggzy shrugged.

Adam shook his head and looked in the rear view mirror. He saw Jenny driving her own car behind them, she looked like she was talking the ear off of Vanessa who was practically asleep.

A.J. was still rocking out in the backseat next to Deborah who was ignoring the girl next to her and reading a book with her legs crossed.

Adam looked back to the road in front of him. He saw the sign for Higgins Haven come into view. He sighed in relief due to finally arriving at their destination.

The two cars pulled in front of the main lodge. Adam got out and saw Chad, Kenny and Eric standing on the patio with beers in their hands. Kenny walked down the stairs and greeted Adam with a handshake.

"How's it going Kenny?" Adam asked.

"Not bad. We got most of the cabins ready for the kids, we can just relax the whole weekend." Kenny said proudly. Adam should've known Kenny would've had the whole thing ready with or without the rest of the groups help. He always was the serious one during school.

"That's what I like to hear. Hand me a beer would ya?" Adam asked as he climbed the stairs and plopped into one of the lawn chairs.

"We don't have any left out here. Tiffany went to get more." Eric said.

"Tiffanys here?!" Adam tried to remain calm. "I thought she didn't wanna volunteer to be a counselor?"

"She changed her mind. Signed up at the last minute." Kenny said.

"I got em!" Called a feminine voice from inside the inside the house. Tiffany pushed open the door with her back as he carried two six packs outside. Adam felt his heart rate pick up as he saw her. Goddamn she's beautiful.

Beers for everyone!" She said as she handed in of the cans to each of her friends. Adam watched her mingle with Jenny and Vanessa. Deborah and Eric had gone inside. Chad and Kenny had gone down to the water.

Adam was so preoccupied by Tiffany that he didn't notice Buggzy grab a chair and sit down next to him. "So... you gonna make a move on Tiffany soon?" He bluntly asked.

Adam was taken aback. He ran his hand through his long dirty blonde hair as he tried to stammer out a response. "W-what do you mean? I don't even like her. Plus she's with Chad." Adam said.

"Man Chad's a dick. Tiffanys gonna realize that soon, and when she does you gotta be the one she turns to for help. How do you make that happen? Talk to her." Buggzy said.

Adam usually didn't give any notice to his friends dim witted ideas. But he was now starting to almost make sense. Adam locked eyes with Tiffany, she lifted her shoulders and looked away. Adam could've sworn she was blushing.

"Maybe you're right Buggzy. I mean if I don't do something now when will I? And she's got to know that Chad is all wrong for her." Adam agreed.

"Yeah. Hold on..." Buggzy got up. He walked over to the car and unlocked the door. "Damnit! The batteries dead."

"How the hell did that happen?" Adam asked. "It was fine when we got here."

"I don't know, but it's dead. I'm gonna need to put in a replacement." He cursed under his breath as he walked into the house.

"Where are you going?" Adam yelled.

"I'm going to fucking sleep! I deal with the battery tomorrow!" Buggzy yelled.

"We should probably head to bed too. It's almost midnight." Jenny said.

"Alright." Tiffany said. She brushed off some dirt from her shorts and turned it Adam. "Hey Adam, do you maybe want to hang out tomorrow. We could head down to the lake, just you and me." She asked.

Adam felt like he was on cloud nine. He struggled not to jump up and cheer. "U- uh... sure. Sounds fun. I'll meet you here."

"I'll be waiting." She said before walking slowly inside. Holy hell. Did she just ask me out? Why would she do that? She's with Chad ain't she? Adam wondered as he climbed up the stairs. He opened the door on the right and walked into his assigned room. He threw his bag in the corner and changed into a pair of sweatpants and a white tank top. He climbed into bed and tried to fall asleep.

Across the river...

Eric had been dared by Chad and Kenny to sleep in one of the cabins across the river alone. He didn't want to look like a coward, especially not in front of Deborah. So he accepted the challenge and carried his bag across the river.

He settled inside the cabin closest to the bridge. He walked to the stove and switched it on. He pulled a bag of popcorn from his bag and placed it on a pan.

He hummed a tune as he hovered the pan over the heated stovetop. He didn't notice when the back door creaked open. Eric suddenly felt a large hand on his shoulder turn him around forcefully. He looked up and saw a seven foot beast of a man with a dirty hockey mask covering his face. Dear god... the stories are true! It's Jason! Was all Eric could think before Jason grabbed a butter knife from the countertop and plunged it deep into the teenagers temple.

Eric collapsed onto the floor. Jason stepped outside the cabin. Well done Jason. Called his mother. But there are still more out there. Return home, and we will deal with them soon.

Back at the lodge...

Adam awoke from his restless sleep to the sound of pans clanging downstairs. What the hell? He thought as he got up and opened his bedroom door.

He walked down the spiral stairs as his eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness, revealing Tiffany lying on the couch with a blanket covering her. She was still awake and shivering. "Tiffany?" Adam asked. She raised her head and looked at the half asleep Adam in front of her.

"What are you doing down here? Why aren't you sleeping with Chad?" Adam asked.

"Well... me and Chad kind of broke up a few days ago." She said.

"What happened?" Adam asked. His tone became serious and angry. If he fucking hurt her I swear to god... "What did he do?"

"He didn't do anything Adam. But it's sweet of you to worry. I broke up with him actually." She admitted. "I just didn't love him anymore. In fact, I started to like someone else." She looked into his eyes and Adam felt his heart beating a mile a minute.

"Well, whatever happened I can't let you sleep down here in good consciousness. You can take my room, atleast until Kenny can assign you a replacement." Adam said.

"Oh no. Adam please that's not- Oh!" She yelped as Adam plucked her off the couch and held her in his arms bridal style.

"I'm not taking no for an answer Tiffany." Adam said as he carried her up the stairs. She eventually snuggled into his arms and whispered "Fine."

He carefully set her on the bed before he started to head downstairs. "Wait!" Tiffany stopped him. He turned back to her. "Where are you going?" She asked.

"I'm sleeping on the couch." Adam said simply. As much as he wanted to climb into bed with her, he was raised to be a gentleman.

"Well..." she got up from the bed and walked so that the two were centimeters apart. Adam was almost over a foot taller than her but she stood her ground. "I can't in good consciousness let you sleep on the couch." She mimicked him. "This bed is big enough for the two of us."

Adam felt like he was in heaven. The girl of his dreams had just offered to share a bed with him. "Well, it is pretty damn cold down there." He said. She smiled as he slipped under the covers with her. He tried to remain an appropriate distance away, but she snuggled up close and nestled under his arm. Soon he easily fell into a peaceful slumber.
