Chapter 4: First Day

------

Jimmy looked at the list of cabins and placing of people. According to it he was with Carson, Phillip and David.

"What are you doing Coop?" Jerry ran up to him and appeared slightly out of breath.

"Checking who I'm in the cabin with." Jerry took a glance at the list that was up before saying,

"We never go by that, we always choose our own groups. This is just the teacher's attempt at controlling us." He dismissed the list with a sweep of his arm. Jimmy nodded, this suited him just fine.

"So what other two people are in our cabin?" Jerry's gaze dropped slightly and he looked embarrassed,

"I don't-" He was interrupted by Sarah's yell/whine.

"I can't believe that you guys are ditching us! You're such a bitch!" The two boys turned to Sarah yelling at another girl and Kirsten standing behind her silently. Then Kirsten put a hand on her arm and led her away silently.

"God I hope that there are some other two guys who need partners." Jerry said with such a worried expression on his face that Jimmy almost cracked up.

"Kirsten isn't that bad." Jimmy retorted, defending the girl he liked but would never admit it. At least not to Jerry. Not right now.

"It's not Kirsten I'm worried about." Jerry said and eyed Sarah who was still attempting to argue with the other girl while Kirsten begged her to stop. Sarah was talking to Kirsten in hushed tones and both boys tried to hear without looking like they were trying to hear. They saw Kirsten walk purposefully towards them with Sarah trailing behind her.

They both turned their backs and tried to pretend that they were talking about some random subject.

"So..."

"It's turning out to be a hot summer."

"Um, yeah sure..."

"Hey guys... " Kirsten said and the two guys turned around. Jerry tried to pretend that they didn't know that she'd come to talk to them,

"Oh hey Kirsten. Didn't see you coming there." Kirsten gave him a weird look and then turned her body slightly to Jimmy and asked,

"Do you guys want to share a cabin with us?" Jimmy smiled,

"Sure." He said this despite the fact that Jerry was hitting him behind their backs, out of the view of the girl's view. Jerry had a fake smile on his face as he did this and it widened each time he hit Jimmy. Kirsten smiled,

"Great." Jimmy grimaced,

"Great." They stood there awkwardly for a moment and Jerry stopped hitting Jimmy for the first time on a minute to concentrate on studying the both of them closely. Then Kirsten said,

"Uh, Sarah and I will go and get a cabin." Jimmy and Jerry nodded. Sarah had actually blended into the background because, for once in her life, she was quiet. She was actually quiet for the same reason that Jerry had stopped hitting Jimmy for, she was studying Jimmy and Kirsten.

After the girls had gone out of ear shot Jerry dropped his fake smile and turned to Jimmy.

"What do you mean 'sure'?"

"Well there are no other people and we may as well have someone in our cabin who we like..." Jimmy trailed off as he realised what he'd just said.

"Wait a minute. We don't like them, if you say 'we' then that means that both of us like both of them. And that isn't true. Definitely not..." And then he finally got why Jimmy had trailed off, "Wait a minute. Just wait a minute! You like Kirsten! I get it now, I mean it was obvious before too but now there's no way you could say that it isn't true. Ha-ha I've got you now!"

"Whatever." It was the only response that Jimmy could come up with and Jerry knew this was weak. Forgetting about how angry he was at him he now had a look of glee on his face.

"You like Kirsten! You like Kirsten!" He sang as he danced around him.

"Shut up!" Jimmy hissed. Kirsten was just a few metres away fiddling with her bag. He rolled his eyes at Jerry and went over to help Kirsten. Jerry watched him go and sighed,

"Lovebirds." He said to himself.

"Yeah, kinda look cute together too." Jerry spun around and came face to face with Sarah. For once he was flustered,

"Uh, hi Sarah."

"Jerry." He cleared his throat,

"So I heard that, uh, there was a party in Carson's cabin." Sarah's eyes showed her disinterest,

"Yeah."

"Do you, ah, wanna...you know..." You could see Sarah's brain turn on and the alarms going off in her head. She stuttered before saying,

"Uh, uh, I'm sorry what?!? Nothing's changed in the last few minutes you know. Nothing has changed since the bus or, or even since school."

"Now, now Sarah. The chemistry is undeniable. I mean, you made me stutter and I made you stutter. The relationship has been made, it cannot be undone." Sarah was confused.

"What are you talking about Jerry?"

"You know what, I don't know." They stood there unsure and then Sarah was the first one to speak,

"I have to go." This sparked a response from Jimmy,

"Yeah, me too." The both walked off in different directions extremely confused about their feelings about the other.
