Sooo...like...yeah. I decided that this camp is now identical to the camp I work out ...mainly because that's what I pictured it as. Do you know what that means? I'll be able to take real life pictures of the places I talk about and stuff! Starting the first of August, I believe. Woohoo- Well there are actually some differences. My camp has a pool, not a lake, and the cabins aren't really cabins... they're bungalows. xD Well, not actual bungalows. I can't really explain. Whatever.

Chapter 3: Bad Choices

So here's the deal. All of the groups started heading over to the Mess Hall for some … end of the week ceremony, or whatever. If it contained food, I wasn't hungry. I know that most of the hot girls were all there, well … all of them actually, but I really wasn't in the mood to be around so many people all at once. Oh, and seeing every other guy flirt with Britt was definitely helping with how I was feeling.

I knew it would be so easy to sneak away, and trust me, it'd be a piece of cake for me! … But something about the woods at night wasn't very appealing. Sure, I'm brave. I'm the bravest of them all, actually. Ghost stories and scary legends never really took me well though.

We finally reached the Mess Hall, and the counselors actually did a head count for once. We had to sit with our own groups though, which wasn't too bad since I got to be with my friends, Charlie and Dan. Croft was always seated towards the back of the Mess Hall, so it was sort of hard to hear Mrs. M talk from the front of it. Oh, and you probably didn't know this, but our Mess Hall is outdoors. Located near tons of mosquito cities. Yep, that means bug bites.

"Psst, Alvin." Charlie whispered, nudging my arm. I looked over at him with an extremely attractive … but confused look on my face. (Not that it mattered for Charlie, but there were a couple of pretty girls staring at me! Well… obviously).

"What?"

Charlie blinked for a moment before shrugging and leaning his back on the picnic table we were sitting at. "Can you hear a word she's saying?"

I groaned and rolled my eyes. "No, but it's not like I want to anyways." The woods were suddenly so tempting to me. I could face any dumb headless horseman!… not that I believe there is one. Heh.

I slowly slid to the edge of the picnic table bench, which was closest to where the woods started, and stared deep into them. They were so dark and spooky. The only close light was the lights from the Overlook cabins which happened to be close.

"Where you goin', Al?" Dan asked, leaning from his side of the table to whisper to me. I just shrugged as I continued to stare into the woods. Never really realized how strange they were until now.

"…You guys dare me to leave?" I asked my friends, finally turning to look at them with a smirk. I caught Abby staring at me, as usual, and smiled back at her. I ain't gonna lie, Abby was pretty cute.

Well, of course, my friends grinned evilly and said yes. With great concentration and determination, a very carefully crawled down from my seat and into a shadow. Of course, it wasn't surprising that nobody noticed me. I'm that good. Dan and Charlie waved to me before I stood up and turned around. I didn't want to make any sudden movement or sounds, otherwise I might have been caught.

I made it to Overlook. There were obviously no girls in the cabin. …Wait. Girl cabins? I grinned with excitement as I ran into the nearest one. Cabin 3, I think. To my surprise, their cabins were a ton nicer than ours were. How unfair… but whatever, who cares. I knew right away that I had found Brittany's cabin. Some of her clothes were laying out on the floor, and on her bed. I tiptoed over to the dresser, which had a ton of makeup sprawled all over it, along with perfume and other such girly nonsense. Going through the drawers, I realized that I stumbled upon someone else's underwear, not Brittany's.

…I'm not a stalker freak, okay? I'm just curious, that's all. Looking at the rest of the clothes I kind of figured that this underwear belonged to that girl, Vanessa. I can't stand that girl. All she does is insult me behind my back, then when I'm ever face to face with her … she's so timid. Oh, and you know what's even MORE unbelievable? SHE DOESN'T LIKE ME! How could anyone not like me?! Abby probably does so why can't she? …not that I care or anything, but I'm just making a statement.

Going through Vanessa's stuff made me realize that she wasn't at Campfire Time or that dumb ceremony either. I kind of wondered where she went… and I was feeling adventurous. Putting her personal things away, I left the cabin, and taking a deep breath I headed back into the woods. I really had no idea where I was going. I actually wanted to get to the other side of the lake so I could maybe catch some sleep earlier, but I found that I really could not see where I was going. The only light I had that I could use were lights from passing campsites … and there had only been two of them.

After walking for miles and miles without end, …or what seemed like miles, I heard the sound of rushing water. That meant a river, didn't it? And a river dumps out in a lake … which means I could find the lake! Perfect! Haha, I am so smart. TAKE THAT, SIMON.

Ahem. As I was saying, I got closer and closer to the sound, and since my eyes had adjusted to the darkness I could sort of see where I was going now. Ahead it seemed like there was a small river creek thing and a huge tall oak tree. That sort of interested me, only because I hadn't ever seen a tree like that before.

I suddenly heard leaves rustle just on the other side of the tree. It made me gasp … only because it startled me, not because I was scared or anything. The thing must of heard me because the rustling got even louder, and out of no where, the monster peeked it's head out from the other side and!- …. "Vanessa?!"

"Alvin?! How the hell did you get here? … better yet, why the hell are you here?"

I loosened my tense body before rolling my eyes and walking towards her, trying not to fall in the small river. "Well, I obviously walked here… and that stupid ceremony was killer. I had to leave."

She didn't seem very happy to see me. That pissed me off.

"That's great. Do you mind getting the hell out of here now?"

I chuckled and obnoxiously plopped myself beside her, "You sure bring up hell a lot. Who are you, the devil?"

Oh my. The glare she gave me was so evil that even I could believe she was.

"Get out of here, Alvin!"

"Why? It's not like you own this damn place."

She turned to stare into the river, still angry as she replied, "I sort of do. This area has basically been my home for the past week…" She turned to look at me before yelling, "And you weren't invited!"

"Well excuse me for trying to be nice!" …Uh oh. Bad choice of words.

"…Nice? … NICE?!" EXPLOSION! "YOU'RE THE BIGGEST JERK I EVER MET IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT YOURSELF AND NO ONE ELSE. IT'S SICKENING!"

That was totally not true. I care about girls too. Hmph.

She crossed her arms angrily across her chest and stared into the water once again. I actually sort of … felt bad. Vanessa looked so hot when she was angry and, well, I was the one who made her like that. So wait … was that a good thing?

"…I'm sorry Vanessa."

Her eyes shot open wide as her head slowly turned to look at me, "…You're…what?" I sighed and shrugged. "I'm…sorry." What else did she want? A plaque to prove it?

"Oh…" She groaned and rolled her eyes. I could tell she was faking though when she sarcastically said, "That's wonderful."

I wasn't sure how to answer so we sat silently there for a couple of minutes. I actually started sweating and a small … sort of butterfly feeling gathered in my stomach. No, I was not falling for Vanessa. I … loved Brittany. But think if you were there in that moment.

I sort of wanted to make a move. I knew that if anything happened, her not having many friends meant she'd have no one to tell, and obviously I wouldn't tell anyone. Very slowly and lifted my arms in the air with a yawn, and collapsed my right arm around her. I was definitely expecting her to slap me across the face and yell at me … and she did.

"Don't even play that with me. I don't know where that hand's been!"

Ouch to my face and my heart. Geeze. It felt like my destiny to make that girl like me, no matter what it took. Without even thinking, I forcefully put my hands on her shoulders and pulled her forward … into a kiss. I closed my eyes but slowly peeked one open to see her reaction. Her eyes were huge, I could tell that there was so much emotion and confusion in her.

To my surprise, …Vanessa's eyes very gently closed as she … let me kiss her. Was this the same girl that had just slapped me across the face or did an alien just suddenly appeared that looked like her?

…OH MY GOSH THAT MUST'VE BEEN IT! … But I was too busy enjoying myself to really care. And either she was an alien, or she just never got any action before from anyone and it was enjoyable for a first time thing. Well, obviously. Who wouldn't want to make out with the one and only Alvin Seville? (Any takers, ladies?)

I'm not really sure how long we sat there frenching. Vanessa suddenly pulled away though as her phone vibrated. She must've had a timer or something on it because she whispered, "It's time to go back."

I truthfully couldn't care. I … didn't really want to. Sure, I was tired but-

"It's going to take you even longer than it takes me to get back since you're on the other side of the lake. You'd be in huge trouble if that was the case…"

I chuckled and stared at her, jokingly, "Like you'd care?"

Her face turned red in embarrassment as she softly cleared her throat. I guess she suddenly felt dominant or something because she grinned and stared back at me sort of seductively. "Nah, I don't care. I'd love it if you'd get in trouble, actually." I knew she both meant that and didn't mean that. She wanted me to get in trouble … and she just wanted to make out with me. So that's what she did. She literally pushed me back against the tree and started kissing me again.

…And this is where my side of the story ends. Mainly because I'm stuck in some stupid punishment hall with Vanessa and I still can't stand her.

Enjoy the drama, folks.
