I arrived at the lake right when I finished cleaning after lunch. The entire place was disgusting. The ground was squishy and muddy and the lake was dirty. Nobody was there. At first I thought Edward wasn't coming and it was just pay back for not coming earlier but then I thought of how he had to watch his bunk during rest hour especially since they made a new rule about the canteen. Counselors had to buy the snacks for their bunks. Edward was probably just helping his bunk. He'd be there soon.

Twenty minutes went by. I was ready to leave but something in me wanted to wait for him.

Ten more minutes had me pacing and thinking about what dangers could have happened to him.

Five more minutes went by and I couldn't wait any longer. I went around the camp grounds looking for Edward. Now I was getting angry.

I saw Jasper and Alice on a bench outside of the bunkhouses.

"Where's Edward?" I asked them, trying to hide the anger in my voice.

Jasper pointed towards the place where he and his bunk were staying. I stormed in and Edward was on the floor playing war with a camper whom I did not recognize. I really needed to learn their names. I only knew Tommy's.

"Edward," I said loudly, causing him to look up from his game. "You never came."

He smiled sweetly and innocently. I cursed myself for starting that earlier. "I forgot."

"No you didn't."

Edward stood up. "And now that I've finished with my revenge, please meet me once again by the lake after dinner."

"No."

"Isabella, I'd like to meet with you by the lake." He said again.

"Good for you. Just because you had to be such a princess and get your damn revenge…" He stopped me and motioned to the children. "Sorry. Language. Doesn't mean I have to do what you say."

"The lake, Isabella. Seven thirty is when you should be finished cleaning the dining room so I'll see you then."

"Bella!" One of the boys called out. "Did you get the picture?"

"Yeah and I loved it! It was really cool."

"Thanks."


Dinner was a catastrophe. I didn't drop anything but Jessica and Angela approached me.

"What's up with you, Bells?" Angela asked.

"Yeah, you've been all weird lately." Jess added.

"Being a waitress isn't easy!" I snapped. "So shut up!"

"Whoa! Somebody is pissed," Jessica observed. "Whatever. Well Mike is coming this week for visiting day."

I choked on the air. "Visiting day? It's only been three days!"

"It's been a week and a half. You would know Mike was coming if you'd opened the package he sent you!" Jess was really starting to piss me off.

"I have to go." I pointed to the kitchen. "Food."

I felt two pairs of eyes on me as I walked back to the kitchen. I wouldn't dare to look back at them.

After dinner, I took my time cleaning up. I thought I'd have a lot to clean since I was expecting to drop things but it was already pretty clean.

My heart was thumping loudly as I made my way down the path leading to the lake. It slowed down once I saw the disgusting water and the squishing noises from the ground filled my ears. But the regular heartbeat didn't last long. Once I heard my name said by that warm, silky voice, it was going crazy and doing flips in my chest.

"Thank you for meeting me here." He said. "I've felt really bad for the way I've been treating you. It was extremely unkind of me."

"You needed to say this by the lake?"

Edward nodded. "You see, Isabella, girls love water. I can take you to a small puddle and you'd say 'Oh, Edward! A puddle! It's beautiful! I'll sleep with you now!'" He spoke in a high pitched girl's voice. I curled my lip.

"Let me get this straight. You... brought me here... to... sleep with you?"

"No. There are quite a few issues with that."

"Including?"

"Isabella," he said sternly. "We did not come here to discuss my sex life."

I frowned. "It would probably be boring anyway."

Edward shook his head at me disapprovingly and sighed. "Isabella-"

I cut him off. "Don't call me that."

"Isabella?"

"Yeah, that. Don't call me that." We went inside a small gazebo and sat on a bench.

"Then what would you like me to call you?" he asked. "Do you prefer Belly Dancer?"

"As a matter-of-fact, yes. But please call me Bella."

"Would you like to go to the party?" he asked and for a minute I had no clue what he was talking about, but I remembered why I had missed our meeting earlier. I was setting up for the party.

I nodded. "Princess Eddie needs an escort."

Edward seemed frozen. Angry even. "Where did you hear that name?"

Nervous that I'd done something wrong, I chewed my lip. "I made it up."

He let out a sigh of relief. "Let's go to the party."

The room had flashing strobe lights and loud music blaring from the speakers. I thought it was unnecessary for the campers and it would surely wake up the younger bunks. I saw all the signs Alice and I had put up on the wall and smiled.

I heard someone calling my name. It certainly was not any of my friends. It was an older female voice. Victoria. I turned around and she was right there, making me jump. "We need cheese curls. Can you get some from the snack room?" she asked.

I nodded mechanically and left Edward's side. Surely the Princess could use some time alone.

The cheese curls were surprisingly hard to find in the snack room. All I could see was cookies. Lots of cookies and a few other snacks like gummies. No chips or cheese curls. I looked in all places possible and finally found a large bag of cheese curls. I poured into a large bowl and started back to the room with the party. A few buildings away and I could still hear the obnoxiously loud music.

I brought back the bowl and when I saw a large table with food on it, I hurried over there to put it down. I wasn't worrying about dropping anything since I hadn't done it all day. But my day had to be ruined. I tripped on my own feet and fell on top of somebody. A large, muscular somebody that smelled nice too. The cheese curls were everywhere and I heard them being crushed by everyone around me. The person I had fallen into was chuckling and holding me up. I looked up and saw Jacob, counselor of B4.

"Sorry," I mumbled and quickly picked it up and hurried off. I hated myself. I was so not fit for the waitress-ing job. I couldn't even hold cheese curls steadily! I was hopeless!
