Title: Ever had one of those days you could live again?
A/N: Spoiler: This fanfic is set during With or Without You and later…
Chapter 1:
Alli's POV:
So my dad believed the story I gave him about the camping trip being an "educational opportunity" and told Sav that he had to take care of me on the trip… I hope that Sav will leave me alone though I've got plans of my own…
Later that Day:
Anya and I barely got to the bus on time before it left, as I got in line I saw my target. Johnny Dimarco. He different than any other guys that I have met… he seems like the kind of guy that doesn't care about what people think or as nerdy as my classmates or Sav's friends. I walk up to him and ask "What are you reading?" to break the ice and show him that I'm interested. He answers "a book" in a very casual matter, I decide to keep his attention and reply "that's a joke right?" He looks at me and I knew right then and there that he liked me too and that I couldn't give up until he would be mine.
The camp was boring and my friends were driving me insane with all their bug talk but I kept my eye on the prize so to speak, as soon as I had the opportunity I had another talk with Johnny. He was upset with my friends Conner and K.C, so I innocently asked him if he wanted to take a walk with me to the woods to talk. My brother soon found out and told me that people would be talking about this at school, I was ecstatic, this upset him even more. He doesn't get the fact that I want to develop my own identity… I can't be known at high school as Sav's little sister forever!
That Night:
I decided to go see Johnny in his tent, I really enjoyed our talk at the woods, and it felt good having someone who talked to me without the words school or family in it. When I reached his tent I rapped on his "door" and he let me in, when he realized it was me he looked a little surprised, I told him that I was bored and that I was wondering if he was doing anything interesting, he said he wasn't but I was determined to stay and I did. We eventually started playing poker, I couldn't help but smiling at him and he smiled back. Everything was perfect… that was until we saw a snake in the tent; we both freaked out, yelling and screaming as we exited the tent. Granted it wasn't the smartest thing to do because everyone including my brother ran out to see what was going on but it was all worth it because as we ran out Johnny held my hand, and I knew that I had made the right decision and that whatever spark we have between us won't go away any time soon.
Johnny's PoV:
So I decided to go to the stupid camp thing at school because A) I really needed to get away from home as my parents have been giving me all kinds of heat since that kid got stabbed two years ago. Sure I've gotten into some trouble now and then but honestly what kid hasn't? Another thing, while they know that I didn't stab the kid they still treat me as a criminal. Why can't they see that they see that I am trying? B) It gives me space from Bruce and all my other "friends" that my parents disapprove of so maybe they'll get off my back. Anyways so I'm reading my book waiting for the bus to leave so I could get this dumb weekend over with when this niner girl comes up to me out of no where and asked me what I was reading… I was thinking are you kidding kid… the last thing I wanted was to talk to anyone. Hoping that she'd take the hint I say: "a book". She laughs and replies "that was a joke right? I look at her bewildered, why won't she leave me alone?
Later that day:
I was relaxing on a chair when a group of niners walk up talking about bugs and stuff. What nerds. I notice that that one girl from earlier is with them, I can't help but feel jealous, and I couldn't understand for the life of me why, one of them comes up to me and shows me his net for catching the aforementioned bugs. I ask him if I can see it and punch a whole right through it. He gets all angry at me and says that "I would pay for that." Like if he if he could, I get in his face and tell him so, I look over at the girl, she's looking at me, she asks me if I want to take a walk with her in the woods. I tell her yes, as it was a perfect way to escape doing any work.
That Night:
I was reading my book in the tent trying to pass the time, when all of a sudden I hear a noise coming from the other side of my tent, I open my tent and I see Alli (the niner girl). What the hell is she doing here? She asks if I was doing anything interesting, I really lie this girl, she's smart, funny and fun. The talk in the woods was really nice as I didn't have to worry about my family or school problems. I realized however that I wouldn't be good for her so I tell her that I wasn't doing anything she would like and that she should leave, but she wasn't taking no for an answer! I really liked her passion and I realized that I wouldn't the battle tonight, so I decided to let play a round or two of cards half hoping that she would get bored of me and would leave. While playing she smiled at me and I ask her about her "poker face", she answers "Maybe I'm just glad to be here with you". At that moment, I felt better than I had in years. That feeling however was ruined when a snake somehow got in my tent and scared the crap out of us; I grabbed her hand and led her outside. Her brother heard her scream and when he found out that she was alone with me he had a fit and told her off in front of everyone at the camp. I wanted to rip his head off, but thought it might really be best if I just leave her alone. I looked back at her before going to my tent again, her heart was breaking and it was al my fault.
A/N: Thanx for reading you guys! Chaper 2 will be up soon, I'm just really tired right now. I hope you liked the format, I was inspired by that ep. From dawson's creek where the events from one day were looked at from each individual characters PoV. Hope you like it! Please review, I love feedback so that I can improve where needed.
