---------
After we had lunch and got our schedules for the first week. It was exciting to see that tonight was going to be a campfire. I LOVED campfires. The way everyone sits around laughing and having fun. The s'mores, mmm I can taste them now. Bottom line is I was really excited. And even though I knew I couldn't say it out loud. I was really excited to see Nate.
Mitchie and I walked back to our cabin chatting about the evening.
"I am really excited for tonight," she gushed, smiling. At lunch she saw a boy sitting next to Nate and she couldn't wait to meet him.
I smiled, but not really a cheery smile, more of a 'Lucky you' smile. "Yeah, it'll be really fun." I added.
"Something's wrong." she said. My god, how did this girl see it. Was it really that obvious. "You like Nate don't you, and you're upset that Miley 'called' him." She paused "What's with that anyway, I mean isn't that just a tad bit elementary?" She asked an eyebrow raised.
Everything she said was absolutely right. It's like she could read my mind. "Yeah I know. But, she called him first. It's only fair." It was so dumb. I knew that I shouldn't be going along with it this time, but knowing Miley if I said anything then she would get mad at me and it would be another silent fight. The worst fights.
Mitchie shook her head "I may not know you very well yet, but I do know that you should just go for him." We reached the cabin and she opened the door, "But it's up to you."
I sighed. "Thanks for the advice Mitch, but I don't want to get into it with Miley, it's no big deal. There's plenty of other guys here." I walked into our room, "I'm going to go for a swim." The rest of the afternoon was free time.
"Alright, I am going to go check out the rec. center." She smiled, "See you later Lex." Before I knew it she was out the door and down towards the rec. center. I closed the door, opened my duffel bag and pulled out my black and white stripped bikini. No one was here so I changed in the room, big whoop. When I was done I put on my Nike sandals, a pair of jean shorts with my iPod and cell phone in the pockets, grabbed my towel and sunglasses, and headed for the lake.
The camp was really pretty. The trees were green and so was the grass, the lake was really clear too. Most lakes are really mucky but this lake was actually really clear. I threw my towel on the dock and shimmied out of my shorts, then dove in. I surfaced and back stroked, eyes closed, soaking up the sun. I began humming some Taylor Swift song I heard on the radio earlier.
"Hey," I heard from behind me and I jumped turning to see Nate smirking. "You're a really great singer. Did you know that?."
I put my hand on my chest, "Damn it Nate! You scared the shit outta me."
"Gross, why would you admit something like that?" He said joking.
"Ha, ha." I said raising an eyebrow at him.
"Going to the campfire tonight?" He asked treading rather close to me.
"Yes I am, are you?" I asked.
"Yep." He said, "So I'll be seeing you huh?" he said smiling more.
God, why? WHY?! Did he have to smile like that, it makes it impossible for me NOT to flirt back.
"Guess you will." I smirked swimming away. God, I was such a flirt. A lying, flirtatious, backstabbing friend. Damn.
He followed me as I swam deeper trying to escape him and his god-damned charm.
"So are you usually this much of a tease?" he asked swimming next to me.
I sent him vicious death glares. Would that make him leave? He smirked. Nope.
"Did I offend you?" he asked. This time he sounded serious, as if he thought he really had upset me. Which, he hadn't. I was a tease most of the time.
"Yes." I lied, was it my fault. Maybe, if I acted like this he would actually leave. Again. I was wrong.
"I'm sorry," he said sincerely. It wouldn't be right to deny the apology.
"Forgiven," I said floating on my back, eyes closed once again. "Not like it's the first time I have been called that." It was true. Ever since I started to hang around with Miley I was considered a slut, whore, you name it, I had probably been called it. No, I didn't think Miley was any of those things. I mean, well I see why people say it. Miley is the 'popular' one. She has dated.. Lets just say, lots.. Yeah lots.. of boys. No, she wasn't a virgin. I was though, yet I was still called those things because I was Miley's best friend.
"W-what do you mean?" He asked surprised. "I mean, not trying to be judgmental or anything, but you didn't come off as.. that kind of girl." he said, treading water next to me. "N-no offence," he added, stuttering.
I sighed, "Well, I'm not, I-it's a long story."
"We have time," he said looking at his waterproof watch. I snickered, what a nerd.
"Maybe another time." I said lifting my head out of the water and swimming back.
"Aw, your no fun!" he yelled as I swam away from him.
I smiled to myself as I pulled myself up onto the dock and grabbed my towel wrapping it around my slender body and putting both palms on the dock behind me, and hung my feet off. The sun was about to set. This would have been so romantic if I were with a boy. Okay, yes I know. I was with a boy, but not an available boy. Well, he was.. But. Gr, I was trying to hard to go against my friend. I saw him smile that smile, and swim over to my feet.
"Go away," I mumbled grabbing my iPod out of the right pocket of my shorts. He climbed up the ladder and grabbed his towel and wrapped it around his, toned, wet, sexy.. UGH! His torso, and sat next to me looking over my shoulder as I scrolled through my songs.
"Whatcha gonna listen to?" he asked in a sing song voice as I put one headphone in the ear facing him.
"Dunno," I said clicking on The Academy Is..
He looked over my shoulder to read it and looked at me, "I get it. If you don't want me here then just tell me."
I swallowed, I wanted him there. More than anything right then. But all these things kept going through my mind. What if Miley sees us? What if I become the outcast? What if he doesn't even like me like that? So I said the first thing that came to my mind. What my heart told me.
"I do want you here Nate. I-I'm sorry I'm acting like this. I'm not trying to be a bitch." I said looking at him, taking out my ear bud.
He just smiled that smile, the smile that made me fall for him harder each time. "You're not being a bitch." he laughed, "It's okay. So, are you going to tell me what your listening to now?"
I smiled back, and offered him an ear bud, and with a crooked, Edward Cullen smile. He took it.
Miley's POV
Mandy and me were walking around trying to find Alex. I wanted to tell her about this guy I saw that looked just perfect for her. I could tell when I called that guy she was kind of upset. I mean I guess I felt kind of bad, but it passed. He was adorable, I couldn't let that one go that easily. I wanted to make it up to her.
Yeah, maybe it as really childish to still be 'calling' things, much less people. Well, it was just what we did. It's what we've always done. Ha, I am just better at calling guys first, she's pretty hesitant and usually gets stuck with the other guy. It's not my fault she didn't open her mouth first, I would have been totally fine with it.
Besides, summer flings never last. I've had three. My first was when I was in eighth grade, I went to visit my Aunt Dolly for the summer and fell for the cute farm boy in Nashville. Second was the Hannah tour in the summer of my Sophomore year, I fell for the lead singer of the opening act. Finally, last summer when I went to Paris for the summer to visit with my cousins. I haven't talked to any of those guys since.
I looked around the camp, there were a group of girls by the courts playing volleyball. Guys opening the door to the game room chatting. Down by the lake.. Wait a second. Is that Alex? And Nate? What the hell? What didn't she get about me calling him.
"UGH!" I groaned turning around angry heading back to my cabin.
"Miley?" Mandy asked confused, "What's wrong?" she asked urgently as she followed after me.
"I would rather NOT talk to Alex right now, I am going back to the cabin." I huffed storming back to the cabin. I was pissed.
Maybe I am over reacting. I mean, come on they've only known each other for a few hours. Things can't be serious. Well, either way she had no right to go behind my back like that. Whatever, she'll pay for it..
Alex's POV
I laughed with him, as he told me about the time he went to a Fall Out Boy concert and some fat, sweaty forty year old tried to surf the crowd. Nate said when the guy got to him he stepped aside and the person next to him couldn't hold the guy up so she dropped him and the guy landed flat on his face.
"That has to be one of the funniest things I have ever heard" I laughed taking my ear buds and wrapping them around my iPod. "Um, well it's getting dark and the campfire starts in a few hours. So, uh I am gonna go shower and get ready." I said standing up, Nate following.
"Yeah, me too. Well, this was really fun." He said smiling as he picked up his towel. "See you uh, later." he waved as he ran off to his cabin.
I smiled to myself as I slipped my shorts back on and headed to my cabin as well. I walked in to find Mitchie in the bathroom doing her hair.
"Oh, hey Lex." she smiled when she saw me. "Have a nice swim."
"Yeah," I blushed walking past her into the bedroom.
"Oh my god," she said putting down her curling iron. "You met someone." she smiled following me into the room.
I smiled, "Did not." I said searching through my bag for some jeans, a sweatshirt and a t-shirt.
"Whatever you say chicki." she looked behind her as she walked back to the bathroom, "But I can see it on your face, someone has a crush." she skipped back into the bathroom and continued to curl her hair.
"Well, maybe I did," I said as I took my toiletries and a fresh towel out of my duffel bag and walked into the main room. "Maybe I didn't." I finished as I headed towards the door. "I'll be back soon I am gonna catch a shower."
"Kay!" I heard Mitch yell from the bathroom.
I walked along the gravel path to the bathrooms and saw Nate in front of me heading for the boys showers. I blushed. Yeah I know. I am horrible, but Miley didn't see me. She has no idea. I'm going to stop the flirting, I really am. Just.. Not yet.
I took a hot shower, which felt amazing against the goose bumps that had risen on my arms and legs. When I got out I felt fresh, and clean after a day of swimming in the lake. I threw on my clothes and towel dried my hair, as I walked back to the cabin.
This time Mitchie was looking through her bags for an outfit. "Come on Mitchie, just wear a sweatshirt and jeans, That's what I am doing," motioning towards my washed out skinny jeans and Mayday Parade sweatshirt.
"Yeah, yeah I know." Mitchie said, then blushed, "I want to make an impression though," she smiled shyly.
"Ah-hah. So I'm not the only one who has a crush," I smirked.
"Ah-HAH!" she mimicked, "So you DO have a crush on someone." she smirked right back.
I sighed and smiled, "Yeah, but you can't tell Miley." I warned.
She smiled, and she knew right away that I had spent the day with Nate. And I could tell by the look on her face that she was proud.
About an hour later we were both ready.
"So, ready for a campfire?" Mitchie said as she grabbed her cell phone and shoved it in the pocket of her pink skinny jeans.
"Mhm," I said as I opened the cabin door. "Let's go," I smiled and we raced out the door.
Ohh, this campfire is gonna be H-O-T.
