Barley is and will always be the main character, but for reasons to be revealed later, a few chapters will be narrated by Raychelle. Enjoy!

Raychelle's POV:

It's been a few days since Barley tried to kiss me but, call me a tease, I kind of like the suspense. And in an attempt to be more boyfriendish had planned a date for us! But that was kind of the problem, he hadn't said we were in a relationship. As I waited on my porch talking with Pollux, I tried my best to only look over my shoulder when he wasn't looking and hoped he didn't notice that waiting for Barley was killing me.

Even so he turned his head in question "We can go look for him if you want"

I blushed "Was it that obvious?"

He just smiled then nodded his head, he gestured behind me, I turned and beamed as I saw Barley come around the side of the cabin. He smiled back at me.

"You look great!" He stated impressed.

"Oh, well I just got out of bed" I said, Pollux scoffed, and I glared at him. Of course, I was lying. I had my best purple top on with ruffle at the bottom and my jeans wear long, tight, dark blue jeans that were folded so they were just mid-calf. I had even washed my beat up old converse.

He then smiled devilishly "To bad it will get dirty"

I frowned "What"

He just smiled wider and took my hand "Come on!" I laughed and we both began running towards whatever it was we needed to run towards.

Finally we reached a small building. Nothing fancy, just a pointed roof and pillars holding it up. It was like a Greek temple with nothing inside. It was arts and crafts.

"We can't be here! It's Violet's turf!" I was still laughing, but a little confused how he'd forgotten.

He just smiled, his goofy smile, and led me inside.

I saw the entire structure was empty except for two stools that had a small table in front of them and another small table with a cup and plate on it.

He turned still holding my hand and walked to my stool. "Here you are" He said I laughed.

I now could see what the tables were. Each held a Greek vase that was blank. And the table next to it held a small plate that had a biscotti on it, and a cup filled with one of my favorite beverages on it coffee.

I gasped and covered my mouth "It's perfect, how did you pull it off?"

He, as always, smiled "You know how Violet and Sean were caught out of there cabins past curfew?" he winked "Well, there punishment is that they're not allowed to go to their favorite part of camp. For Sean the Athena cabin for Violet, here"

I had to laugh, just thinking about that girl going crazy about not being here was funny.

"But really coffee?" He questioned, pulling me out of my trance.

"Yeah, it's good" I dipped my biscotti in and took a bite.

He wrinkled his nose "You just went down five points in my coolness rating"

I smiled at him "Wow, I'm hurt"

He stuck his tongue out at me sarcastically.

Gosh, he is cute, I thought to myself. He turned and focused on painting his vase. I stayed turned looking at him. He had deep creamy hazel eyes, he was tall, tan skinned, had a mass of curly brown hair that became lighter as it got further out, he had a muscular build, not a six-pack but not fat either.

"Barley?" I questioned, he turned and looked at me, "Is this a date?"

He blushed and looked down at his vase then answered "Do you think it's a date?"

I shrugged, "I think so" I then set my hand on his shoulder and looked him in the eyes "I like you"

His expression remained totally serious "I really, really like you" then he nodded "It is a date" he said flatly, still blushing.

I smiled and leaned in "So we're dating?"

He smiled back and leaned in "Yes"

Or lips were centimeters apart, "And you know what people who date do?"

"Kiss" He stated and leaned in, our lips were so close I could feel his breath, I licked my lips.

Violet burst in and we both turned away quickly. I tried to not make eye contact, but Barley had a different approach.

"You can't be here Violet" He stated, she just looked from him to me.

"Why, did I interrupt your make out session?" She said trying to stir up trouble.

We both blushed, but it was my turn to speak up. "Violet, stop" I crossed my arms.

She rolled her eyes "You have to speak for your boyfriend now"

Anger rose with my voice "Violet, why do you do this?!"

Her voice was cold and mean "Because I don't like whores who steal people's crushes"

My eyes widened "I'm sorry that Barley likes me more, but do you want to know why? Because no human being could like someone that ugly on the inside!" I shouted.

And then the world slowed. Violet's faced flashed with anger and in one flowing movement; she raised her arm, palm facing out, and swung through the air; her smack hitting me dead in the face.

I held my hand against the side of my face quickly becoming warm, as the ringing in my ears blocked out whatever conversation had just ensued. But I saw violet grab all her lanyard equipment and storm out as Barley ran over and embraced me in a hug.

"Are you okay?" He asked hugging me tighter. I buried my face into his shoulder.

"Yeah" I said shaking.
