Chapter 14 Karma
The next morning the 11 campers and 4 counselors were driven from the camp and down the river 12 miles.
Leo felt better than he had in a long time; he'd slept through the night, no worries about Mike. He knew he really owed Kendrix. He was now trying to figure out what to do for her. The thing was he really didn't know how. She was finally learning how to stand up for herself and so what else was there?
Glancing over at her he thought then about that kiss the day before, the impulse had just bit him and... It was only then they arrived at the spot where most of the camps boating excursions departed from.
The spot was small, a brake in the trees with a small wooden dock.
As they approached it Kendrix hoped this would be fun, she didn't know why.
Now though as they took their life preservers and began strapping them on she just had a strange feeling.
"You know I'll go with you." Misty offered but Leo was shaking his head and reaching for Kendrix's hand. It only hit him as her fingers thoughtlessly closed around his, that it was right, no more feeling silly. This felt perfect.
"Sorry I have my partner."
"But Leo..." She ran her well manicured fingers over his shoulder. "I'm so much more pretty."
"What you are," Kendrix said turning to face the red head. "Miss thing, is a conniving, self centered flirt who has absolutely no personality." The petite blonde smiled sweetly. "If you don't leave him alone I'll make you pay for gluing my book," Kendrix dropped Leo's hand to fully face Misty. "For causing my accident and for every other little thing you've done to me, Leo, and his brother since this summer started." Kendrix said advancing on the upstart.
"I beg your pardon?" Misty tilted her head as if not understanding but her little smirk said differently.
"Don't play innocent with me; you know very well what I'm talking about." Kendrix had come close enough that Misty had started backing away from her. "Can it red." The blonde then began to poke Misty in the collar bone. "I am not dumb. I was trying to turn the other cheek but know this if you..."
"Do anything else to anyone," Leo broke in taking his place beside the little wildcat. . "We'll know about it and you won't be able to hide."
"We'll make you sorry." Kendrix smiled maliciously as she felt the energy coursing through her.
"You'll regret this." Misty whimpered.
"Not gonna happen." Green eyes met emerald and the look in the darker was harsher than any Misty and Kendrix had ever seen. "You will leave us alone." Kendrix almost smiled when Misty retreated her eyes wide.
The wicked one didn't say anything just scurried away like the rat she was.
"Wow." Kendrix said and Leo looked over at her.
"What?" He asked and his eyes were once more their velvety green.
"You know your really cute when you do that." As soon as the words were out of her mouth Kendrix's eyes widened and she blushed.
"You really think I'm cute?" He asked smirking at her in his usual fashion.
"Leo I..."What could she say?
"That's good." He decided.
"It is?" She asked a little surprised.
"Yeah because your pretty cute yourself." He gave her one of his patented Corbett smiles.
"Corbett! Morgan!" Jenny, the counselor called and quickly they fastened and adjusted their helmets before heading for the end of the dock, where they boarded the kayak.
PADDLING out to the middle of the river where 2 more kayaks were waiting Kendrix realized she'd never really seen the river from this spot. Now, it didn't look as it had from the road or even from the dock.
No, now it seemed more real, just some slightly murky water, with trees lining it's banks. She could even see the road as cars drove by.
Idly the blonde wondered what it had been like a hundred or so years ago, with no cars in the area, no paved roads…
Kendrix didn't realize others were still boarding until the loud splash interrupted her musings.
Glancing back towards the dock she saw Misty's head break the river's service. TONY'S too and a little grin tilted up the corners of her mouth.
"Talk about Karma."
"Oh yeah." Leo grinned as Misty started hitting Tony. She never made it back in the boat as Jenny ordered her out of the water and she was then made to go sit in the van.
"Wonder what she did to get that?" Kendrix asked and Leo shrugged.
