Sorry this has taken so so so long! I've been so busy that I haven't had a chance to update so here is…
Chapter 11
WITH WILL
Camp was coming to an end and everybody was preparing for the huge party they were going to have that night. Will was helping Matt hang lights all over the mess hall and chatting about the weather or whatever they could think of.
"So do you know who's playing tonight?" Matt asked as he hopped down from the ladder.
"No, do you?" Matt shook his head and held the ladder for Will.
"Hey Matt, I have a question. Would you like to be my date to the party tonight?" Matt started laughing.
"What's so funny?" Will raised an eyebrow.
"You are Will. You didn't have to ask me. Of course I'll go with you. I mean come on… we're dating aren't we?" Will smiled and looked down, blushing. She loved hearing him say that.
"Yeah ok. What are we supposed to do next?"
"Find Eric, Hay Lin, Taranee, and Joel. They're supposed to help us carry the big decorations that are going to go on the soccer field. We're also supposed to help carry the giant blow up trampoline thingies to the other end of the field."
"Gee sounds like fun." Will said sarcastically, rolling her eyes.
"Well it's not just us, other people are helping, I just don't know who they are."
"Oh ok, well then let's go." They walked out the door to go search for their friends.

WITH CORNELIA
Cornelia was standing on her tiptoes on a rickety chair, trying to hang streamers up on her cabin.
"You know that's really dangerous and if you were to fall, you could crack your head open, right?" Caleb walked up behind her.
"Yeah yeah I know I just have to get this stupid streamer up…" She began reaching further up, but she couldn't make it.
"Here, let me do it." Caleb held out his hand and waited for her to get down and hand him the streamers. After she handed them to him, he got up on the chair and could easily reach the roof and hung up the streamers.
"Thanks."
"No probl-WHOA!" The chair began to tip and broke as Caleb fell butt first into the dirt. Cornelia knew he wasn't hurt so she burst out laughing.
"Real graceful Caleb." She said in between laughs.
"Yeah well at least I'm not a short oompa loompa…" He mumbled. She immediately stopped laughing.
"Hey I'm not that short, Klutzilla." He stood up and looked at her. She was glaring at him. He knew she didn't like being called short.
"Do you want to go to the party with me tonight?" Her expression changed from anger to surprise. 'That was out of the blue… what about…'
"What about your girlfriend?"
"We broke up a couple days ago. She said that I seemed more like a brother to her than a boyfriend…"
"Oh… I'm sorry."
"Eh… it's ok I'm over it. You still haven't answered my question." She bit her lip.
"Well… Caleb… I still have a boyfriend." He cocked his head.
"You mean he didn't break up with you yet?" Caleb immediately regretted saying that and shut his mouth quickly. 'Oh crap…'
"What… what do you mean… 'yet'?" Her expression was unreadable.
"He… he told me last night that… it wasn't working out between you two, and that he was gonna break up with you in the morning… Oh crap… I'm really sorry Cornelia… I thought he did it this morning when I saw him talking to you… I'm so sorry." She smiled.
"It's ok. I didn't like him that much anyway. So I guess my answer is yeah I guess so."
"Great. Now will you help me decorate my cabin if I help you with yours?" She sighed.
"I guess so."

AT THE PARTY
Irma was standing at the food table getting anything she could fit on her plate. 'It all looks so delicious…'
"Hey Irma." She turned around to face Martin.
"Oh hey Martin. What's up?"
"Oh nothin' much… I just wanted to know if maybe you'd save a dance for me." Irma bit her lip and thought for a minute. 'Well… he is hot… but he's Martin! But he's changed so much… he's not nearly as annoying… but he's Martin… His voice is so easy to listen to no… but he's MARTIN… Maybe I sould… DAMMIT HE'S MARTIN! Shut up stupid other voice!'
"Sure Martin, I'll save you a dance." He grinned.
"Great! See ya then!" With that he walked away. Irma walked over to an empty table and sat down.
"What should I eat first… oh it all looks so good!"
"I recommend the chicken wings, but hey that's just me." She looked up and grinned at Joel.
"May I join you?"
"Sure." She pulled out the chair next to her. Joel sat down and they began to chat about random things while they ate. Irma wondered where the other girls were and asked Joel if he'd seen them. Almost on cue, the four other girls came running up to the table and sat down. They all got into a lengthy debate about whether a platypus quacked or not. Nobody knows why they were arguing about this, but it was fun nonetheless. They all stopped talking when they heard a slow song playing. Somebody walked up behind Cornelia and tapped her on the shoulder.
"Hey Cornelia, do you want to dance?" She looked up into Caleb's gorgeous green eyes and smiled.
"Sure." He held out his hand and she took it. He led her onto they dance floor and they began to dance, at first with his hands on her waist and her arms on his shoulders, but then Cornelia wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned her head on his chest. He was surprised at first, but then wrapped his arms around her back. 'Wow… this just… feels so… right…' She thought. She closed her eyes and inhaled his cologne. 'Ooh that smells really good.' She inhaled again, but not so it looked like she was sniffing him. He put his chin on her head. He could smell her perfume and he liked it. It wasn't like those really strong ones that make you want to puke, but it smelled like a tropical rainforest and mangoes. When the song ended he led her out of the mess hall, which is where the main part of the party for the counselors was, and they sat down on a bench.
"Cornelia… There's something I've been meaning to tell you…" He said slowly and quietly.
"What is it?" She looked concerned. He took a deep breath.
"When we were dancing in there… it brought back so many good memories of things we did when we went out… and… I realized that… I'm still in love with you Cornelia." She gasped, but not loud enough so he could hear. "I knew when I saw you again that there was no way I would ever stop loving you… and… I wanted to know if you would go out with me again… and maybe give me a chance for being such a jerk the first time…" He looked up at her with hopeful eyes.
"Oh Caleb…"

-gasp- oh no! I'm such a terrible person I stopped in the middle!
You'll just have to read the next chapter to find out what happens next mwahaha
Also, I'm thinking about rewriting this chapter, because I was sick when I wrote it and really tired and if it doesn't make any sense, then I'll rewrite it with the same plot and stuff, just a little neater. Review and let me know if I should rewrite it!
