Hey! Next chapter, hope you all enjoy!
______________________________________________________________________________
Noah knew who couldn't just slam the door to go in. He was stuck in the rain, for two reasons:
1) People such as Geoff and Duncan would ridicule, mock, and annoy the hell out of him due the Heather dressing room situation from earlier.
2) People such as Cody and Ezekiel would praise him and ask a list of questions he did not want to answer.
So, yes, he just sat pathetically on the damp log as thunder roared in the sky and rain tumbled down lightly, each drop making his hair more and more wet. He just hope it wouldn't be too long until someone opened the cabin door and he could go in unnoticed by the other boys.
This is ridiculous.
Heather examined each of the girls gushing over the prom. All of them were looking through each others make-up, trying on there dresses, and talking about there dates. Heather snorted. They all are being idiots. This prom isn't even the real deal and they are already talking about choice of eye shadow.
It was then Izzy got all the girls in a big circle for a game of truth or dare. Scratch being idiots, they are idiots.
"Okay guys!", Sadie began to bubble up, "Since it's raining lets skip the whole 'dare portion' of this game and go for truths! Who's with me?", She giggled and the girls followed along giggling and already starting to whisper funny questions to each other. Heather just stood behind all of them rolling her eyes.
Izzy looked at Heather with crazy eyes and shouted out, "Hey! You have to play! C'mon, don't leave yourself out!"
"And if I don't play?", she conversed.
"Simple", Leshawna butted in, "you would be a chicken, a weak, scared, clucking chicken!"
"Fine, fine. I'll play, but I just want to let you all know this is a babies game.", Heather then squeezed herself in the sitting circle as if she had nothing else better to do.
"Oh, this is going to be good.", Gwen wickedly chuckled to herself.
All excluding Heather began to debate as to who would go first. It was decided on Bridgette.
"Alright!", Bridgette began cheerfully as all the same kinds of girls giggled, "Courtney!"
Courtney looked up and waited for her question as all the girls watched closely.
Bridgette continued, "Do you honestly find Duncan a good kisser?", In response all the girls looked at Courtney smiling and chuckling, exchanging glances and gushing on and on. Heather just sat there disgusted.
"Honestly?"
"Mhmm", was all Bridgette responded.
"I find him to be a amazing kisser!". The girls smiled and Courtney laughed.
Heather sat through listening to more idiotic questions, same girls laughing and giggling about the stupid answer. It was not only interesting and full of dirt as she hoped, but it was also more annoying to listen to for her then nails on a chalkboard.
Finally, something caught her attention…. And not in a good way.
"Alright,… So Lindsay, it is your turn!" Gwen called out.
"Like, okay!", she jabbered out like a complete ditz, "I choose… Heather!".
All the girls looked at Heather grinning . Heather knew that this was the point they did there best all to mock her. Oh great, what does little Lindsay have up her sleeve? I mean, well if her brain can comprehend with a actually good question. Heather sighed with a glaring expression and crossed her arms.
"Bring it on.", she lashed out her eyes still in slits.
"Okay, like umm… Um.. Wait ooh hold on! No… Like, can I have a suggestion?"
It was then Courtney and Izzy began plotting things in Lindsay's ear, and after that, they grinned evilly and chuckled.
"Oooh okay! That's a good one! So Heather..", Lindsay began. All the girls whispered among themselves and laughed.
"Do you like, I don't know, have a secret crush on Noah or something? Like I'm mean, c'mon, it's like Noah, that would be like, soooo weird!" Lindsay snorted. All the girls burst out in laughter.
"No! I don't like that geek, can you all just…SHUT UP!", she burst out.
"Whoa, whoa, calm down, were not saying it's a bad thing if you like him Heather.", Gwen snickered.
"Girl, you were all on top of that boy at the tuck shop! It looked a lot more then a crush!", Leshawna thundered a laugh.
"That was!.. Can you?-" Heather panicked trying to talk for herself, but all the girls were laughing and pounding the ground. They were enjoying this all a little too much. Heather stood up. That's it, I had enough of these people!
"I'm done!" Heather cried out, steaming from anger. Before they knew it, Heather went to burst out the door.
"Umm, you might not want to do that?" Beth called out after Heather went to open the door.
"Watch me!", she hissed back. Before Heather knew it, she was out in the cold hard rain. She stood motionless and went to turn back until Leshawna popped her head out.
"DON'T COME BACK!", Leshawna roared out, then slamming the door.
"No, no wait! Let me in!", Heather began to pound her fist against the door, but when there was no response she gave up and went to go sit on the log absolutely mortified by the fact she was getting soaked by the rain.
It's been at least 20 minutes.. And still no one. Noah heaved a sigh.
These people must be mentally ill to not only realize I am not in the cabin, yet also, not have any concern whatsoever.
He then just continued sitting there. Bored. Motionless… Something.. Hit the back of his head?!?
Noah immediately snapped his head back to find the surprise of his life.
"Heather?!? What the hell are you doing here? Are you following me?" he blabbed.
Heather looked at him outraged, "No you moron!", she spat, "I didn't even know you were here. Why are you sitting out in the rain? The showers not working or something?", she blazed. Noah looked at her bewildered. Does she think I'm some kind of idiot?
"I was about to ask you the same thing. I have more the reason to be out here getting soaked from this rain then you do."
"Prove it", she challenged.
Noah paused a second. He searched his mind for not only truthful answers that didn't seem so embarrassing, yet also lies and excuses so that he could get himself out of the mess. He finally spoke up.
"They.. Locked me out by mistake."
Heather was a bit puzzled. She knitted her eyebrows in a expression that immediately told Noah the question she was about to ask.
"Isn't it called knocking? I thought you were suppose to be a child prodigy."
"Unfortunately, I have to go in the guys cabin unnoticed."
Heather snorted, "Why?"
"Why? Why is it any of your business?", he snapped. Ooh good one.
"Your so weird. Your obviously hiding something."
"Butt out."
She simply shrugged and took a seat next to Noah as if it was her only option. She began combing through her wet hair and sighed a little.
Noah couldn't help but ask, "So… Why are you locked out?"
"I was kicked out."
"Oh…", Noah just sat awkwardly slowly scooting away from her. The girl was getting way to comfortable next to him. He didn't want to make it obvious such a thing was flustering him.
Heather looked up at him disgusted, "What? Am I contagious or something?"
"No, no… I wasn't trying to-"
It was then Heather forced her hand on his lips to keep on talking, "Save it, I'm so sick of the people in this place. Including you.", she scorned. She got up from the log starting to shuffle her feet away in the cold. She was obviously shivering by the way she was holding her arms.
Noah would usually ignore what had just happened, but something in his mind told him to push himself off the log and follow her. I'm figuring out what is wrong with this girl, and when I do, she has no importance to me., he uncontrollably repeated the last six words he thought in his mind a few times over again.
When he caught up with her, she looked at him strangely.
"Listen!", he spoke up, "I know you and I think this whole prom thing is going to be a disaster, but as one of my favorite writers once said, 'Isn't better to enjoy time, rather then to dread it'?", he continued to babble on, "I know I'm not really the person to talk about enjoying time, considering I spend most of it with my nose in a book, or trying to solve something before anyone else does, but we can at least try to get along… I know I'm about as annoying as a teacher who will go on correcting other people, but we can both look past are flaws and… Just try to enjoy this stupid prom thing.."
Did I really just say that?!?
Heather looked back at Noah her eyes wide. She positioned her body in a way that then said, go on, I'm listening.
"We both obviously are pretty disliked people at this camp. We should at least take advantage of the fact we have something in common here."
Her expression changed to a more negative one, "I don't know what your talking about.."
"Oh really? Then why were you kicked out of your cabin?"
