Chapter 5: In Love

Saturday 5:58 AM

Miranda POV

I was sleeping in my bed, imagining all sorts of things that were going on at Kaki's Island. Sure, Gordo and Lizzie were probably worried about me, but they would have to fall in love sooner or later. I mean, if a romantic getaway on an island didn't bring them together, what would?

I was so excited!

Even though this might change the three amigos. I might feel like the third wheel sometimes, but it would be worth it.

Gordo POV

I got up early the next morning. It was a habit I had gotten over the school year. I checked my watch. It was 5:58 A.M. I looked around the tent. Miranda still wasn't here. I sighed heavily. This wasn't good.

Lizzie wasn't in her sleeping bag, either. I wondered where she was.

I got up with my camera, and decided to go to the waterfall.

I followed the path that I had taken the day before. I soon approached a tree near the waterfall and started taping.

My jaw dropped wide open at what I saw.

I saw a girl, swimming in the pond. She got up and shook the water out of her hair. It was amazing. Almost like a movie.

Then she went under the waterfall and giggled as the water poured on her face. I knew it.

It was love at first sight.

I just stood there behind the tree, watching like a moron.

I zoomed in on her, hoping to get a better shot.

All I saw was a body and water. Her head was buried in the showering water. Soon she took her head out of the waterfall and shook the water out of her hair again, laughing. Then she got out of the water and dried herself off with a pink towel.

And what I saw amazed me.

That mystery girl was none other than...

Lizzie.

But it wasn't possible. I couldn't be in love with her. She was my best friend.

But then why was my heart beating so hard?

I shut off my camera and laid it down behind the tree. I headed over to Lizzie, hoping that I could say something to her.

"Hey." I said. "How come you're up so early?"

She shrugged. "I had an urge to swim."

"Well, I'm going swimming right now. Want to join me?" I asked.

"I don't know... I might prune."

I rolled my eyes and pushed her into the pond like she done to me yesterday.

"What on Earth was that for?" She screamed.

I took off my shirt and jumped in, making a big splash. "Payback for yesterday." I said simply.

I tried as hard as I could to forget what I had seen five minutes ago.

But it was hard.
