Okay, guys ... check your emails. I reply to your reviews, and when I do that ... it goes to your emails. Yeah. xD This chapter gave me a lot of trouble for some reason ... which is weird because it's from MY point of view. Well, Abby ... but she is me so I don't know. It's a lot easier to be other character. o.0

Chapter 4: Reasons

Well when it rains it pours, huh? That's what happened towards the end of the ceremony. The counselors were getting some type of awards for whatever reason and we sort of were sitting there bored. Staring at Alvin was useless now because, well, he disappeared. And where to, you're asking? Of course no one knew until the counselors obviously did a head count that night before bed.

Us in Kaflick were always right on time and in our jammies before one of our counselors, Sarah, checked on us. OH! I didn't tell you! I made a friend who came ALLLLLLL the way from Scotland just to go to the camp! Her name is Lily. She's SO awesome. Not only is she pretty much like me in every way, but she LIKES ALVIN TOO! How cool, right?!

Brittany still is a problem for me. Of course, she's like my best friend but … she's so lucky being able to date Alvin. I'm actually kind of happy that Vanessa doesn't like him. If there's one thing I hear that's always spoken about her, it's that all the boys think she's drop dead gorgeous. The only problem? She's, well … a bitch. Truthfully, of course she is! But she's still my best friend no matter what.

The next morning at breakfast, not only Alvin but Vanessa too were called over by Miss Monica to speak in private. I kind of figured it had something to do about the night before, and I also sort of guessed that they probably got into some physical fight or something.

Boy, was I wrong.

"Vee!" I called to Vanessa after she was done speaking to Miss M.

"…What?" She asked, sitting down. She seemed more mad than usual.

"What happened over there?" I asked politely. Lily, who was sitting next to me, nodded, also wanting to know what Miss Monica told her and Alvin.

"None of your business, okay?" Geeze. I've never seen Vanessa so violent… to me.

"…I was just wondering, Vanessa. You can tell me anything…"

She cut me off, "I got in trouble for being out after curfew, alright?"

"…With Alvin?" Lily asked shyly, swallowing lightly.

"NO ONE ASKED YOU!" Vanessa nearly screamed at Lily, knocking Lily's cup of orange juice over onto her. Lily gasped and stood up, shaking out her shorts.

"VANESSA!" I yelled back. I never before had to be so loud with her! "Stop overreacting! Lily was just asking you politely! No one here is blind. EVERYONE saw that you BOTH got called up together!"

…I felt so…mean. Vanessa sat there silently, not saying a word. She stood up to throw her small empty plate of food out before walking to sit at an empty table. I sighed and passed a few of my napkins to Lily, helping her clean herself off. "I'm sorry, Lil. She gets like that sometimes."

Lily chuckled, rolling her eyes as she replied, "I see…"

Once we got cleaned up, we decided to go confront Alvin instead. If anyone would be truthful about the situation, Alvin would! I walked over with a smile and giggle … only to find screaming and ranting coming from Mrs. DramaQueen herself.

"WHAT WERE YOU DOING OUT SO LATE WITH HER?!" Brittany screamed, slamming her plate down on the table angrily. Lily and me stood and watched, too afraid to get anywhere near the table now. When Brittany got mad, she got MAD.

"I wasn't with her! I was trying to sneak…into…the…kitchen! That's right, I was starving and needed some food!" Alvin was obviously telling the truth.

"WITH HER? WHY ELSE WOULD YOU BOTH BE CALLED UP!?"

"Calm down, Brittany!" I couldn't help but yell from where I was standing. She gave me the most petrifying glare I've ever seen in my life.

Alvin turned around to smile and wink at me, "Thanks, Abb." I swooned.

"…" Brittany grew quiet, fire building and burning in her eyes before she literally exploded, blurting out, "WE'RE THROUGH, ALVIN SEVILLE." She turned to glare at me again, then Vanessa who was still all alone at a table, before stomping off in the direction of the bathrooms, tears building up in her eyes. Alvin only sighed, his hands holding his head now as he stared down at the table.

Me and Lily looked at each other before grinning, "Rebound!"

Quickly we rushed to Alvin's side, trying to comfort him as best we could. We were a little late because his friend Amy already happened to be by him too, not to mention a bunch of other girls, and his guy friends too.

"Awe, don't worry about it Alvin. She'll get over it eventually." Amy told him, a smile on her face and her hand on his back. Alvin merely shrugged, looking up to see me and Lily sitting across from him. He gave me a weak smile before opening his arms as if to want to hug me.

"Come 'ere Abby."

… I wanted to faint. Alvin Seville…wanted to hug me. I practically darted over, jumping into his arms. I held him tightly and sighed, whispering, "It's okay. Everything will be alright." He nodded, agreeing with me before letting go. …Why did he have to let go?

"Thanks again for that." He whispered with a warm smile. I smiled back before suddenly noticing a silent Vanessa watching us from her table. I started feeling upset for her. She was my best friend and now that Alvin had told the truth about why he was out, I knew that she hadn't been lying either. I looked at Lily and gestured in the direction of Vanessa's table. She understood right away and nodded, waving goodbye to Alvin before following me towards Vanessa.

"Vee…" I spoke softly, carefully sitting across from her. She stared down at the table now, pretending as if I wasn't there. I knew all her tricks though. "Listen, Vanessa. I'm sorry for what I did before. I really wasn't thinking. You don't have to answer me now, but I really hope you don't … well, hate me … like everyone else." I couldn't help but chuckle before sliding off the seat and standing up to walk over to some other friends. Emma, Maggie, and Natasha had been sitting at their table watching the entire thing, their mouths nearly dropped to the ground.

"Abby!" Emma yelled, grabbing my shirt and pulling me down next to her. My eyes widened in surprised but I sat down. Lily laughed lightly before sitting across from me next to Natasha. They smiled hello at each other before listening to Emma ramble on as usual.

"You practically caused their breakup!"

"Who's breakup?"

"ALVIN AND BRITTANY'S!"

I smirked and shrugged, yawning a bit before answering, "Not really. She was bound to do it anyways. I saw it coming."

"Whatever…" Emma mumbled, poking at the pancakes left on her plate.

"Do you think…they'll get back together?" Maggie randomly asked me with uncertainty. She took a sip from her small carton of milk and made a face. It must have been expired, as usual.

"Who knows," I replied, "I sort of hope not, though…"

"ABBY!" Emma nearly yelled, throwing her arms in the air, "Alvin's not worth all the drama you're causing!" Everyone seemed to nod, agreeing with them. I sort of agreed also, but I didn't want to admit it. I really did like Alvin a lot. No one could amount to the greatness which he … held? Am I making sense?

"So, where's Max these days?" I asked softly, trying to change the subject. I caught Alvin looking in my direction and flashed him a smile before having my friends give me death glares.

"He volunteered to help out at Sports Court, remember? He basically gets to spend all of his time hanging out with the nurse in that air conditioned building right next to it." Natasha murmured, taking a bite of her eggs. Incase you're wondering, Max is my best friend. Well … one of my many best friends. He would be apart of the C-munk Chix … if only he was a girl.

"Why is that such a bad thing?" Lily asked, turning to face Natasha. She only shrugged though and softly chuckled, "Because that's where all of the counselors get to hang out when they're on break…"

"And?" Maggie asked, confused.

Emma rolled her eyes and pointed to the direction of the counselor's table, "And Greg is usually always there."

"Ohhh…" Lily and Maggie mumbled in unison.

The rest of the day was pretty boring. Kaflick had their normal activities. After breakfast was the Craft Shed, then swimming, then lunch. Vanessa still wasn't talking to me then, and Brittany still wasn't talking to Alvin. I basically got to spend the entire lunch time with him and his friends, and made some more friends of my own! His friend Amy turned out to be really cool, and his friend Dan was pretty cute-…uhh cool too. Heh.

It stunk though. Both Vanessa and Alvin were banned from their activities and had to spend their entire day in some punishment hall. The only time they were allowed out was lunch and dinner. They even had to sleep in their. I really hope they don't wind up killing each other by the time they're released.
