Lizzy was walking to breakfast, it was the only time she had alone now, when she was in the cabin she had to put up with Clare and Sarah, when not with them she was with Ryan and constantly watching out for Clare. She was constantly pretending nowadays, she hated pretending, it was too hard work.

"hey, wait up!" Ryan called from behind her pulling her out her thoughts. she turned round and stopped to wait for him.

"what's up?" she asked.

"well I need to talk to you about our arrangement."

"you mean our sham relationship."

"yer, I suppose, although I wouldn't call it that. We've had fun though haven't we?"

"yes, I enjoyed it."

"well I er I don't want to pretend anymore. I'm over now so I don't see any point in us pretending to go out."

"Oh I see." She muttered trying to control the tears that threatened to fall down her face. "Ok"

"So how do you want to end it?" he asked.

"How about I you just tell me you don't want to be with me anymore and I start shouting at you." She suggested.

"sounds good enough." He agreed. They had arrived at the hall and waited for some of the other campers to arrive. When about ten people were hanging round they started their plan. Lizzy went to stand at the other side of the clearing.

"Lizzy, I want to talk to you." Ryan shouted coursing a couple of people to watch Lizzy walk back to him stopping a meter away. " I feel we have both changed in the last three weeks and your just not I'm looking for anymore, I'm sorry." Lizzy gathered all her emotions together.

"you bastard! I love you! Why do you have to do this? Is it another girl? Are you going back to Clare?" Lizzy shouted ending up in a whisper.

"no, its not another girl. We've just both changed."

"LIER" she shouted again finally letting tears fall down her face. Her nerve deserted her and she fled back to the cabin passing both senior groups on the way.

"Lizzy! Whats the matter?" Sara asked racing after her. When they reached the cabin, Lizzy flung herself onto her bed. " you going to tell me whats wrong?" Sara asked

"he broke up with me." She sobbed

"but you were pretending weren't you? Mark said you were pretending." Lizzy took a deep breath and sat up.

"yer, to start with we were pretending but I only agreed because I really liked him, then as time went on and we had fun and were messing round I .. I I." she took another deep breath. " I fell in love with him. This morning he said he didn't want to pretend anymore, which was fine, I thought I could tell him how I really feel but when we were pretending to shout at each other and break up I just couldn't cope, you know what I mean?"

"yer, I do. You going to be ok now." Lizzy nodded still not trusting her voice completely.

"oh and can you tell Oscar and Morris not to beat him up."

"I'll try." She laughed nervously

"send them here if they don't believe you."

"ok, I better go get some lunch. I'll see you later." Sara stood up and went back to the hall. Lizzy lay back down on her pillow and soon cried herself to sleep. She woke up to a knocking sound. She stood and opened the door.

"what did he do?" Oscar exploded into the room.

"Oscar calm down!" Lizzy pled. " I'll explain" once Oscar was calm and sat down Lizzy explained everything. Once she had finished Oscar jumped up.

"how could he do that?"

"like I said, he doesn't know how I really feel about him. Please don't hurt him, I'd never forgive you if you did."

"Fine, I still don't like it though, you going to come have some lunch."

"ok" she sighed. Oscar led her outside and down the path to the hall. As soon as they walked in everyone stopped talking and were watching her, they walked past Ryan's table and he looked really worried so she smiled so that only he could see and the worry drained from his face and he smiled back.
