CHAPTER TWO

After two hours of riding in a car, they finally arrived at the camp site. They set everything up, and now, they were hanging out around the fire. The parents went to the store, to get food, and Edwin, Lizzy and Marty were in their tent playing a game.

"This is the life huh?"

"Yeah. I love fresh air." Sam said.

"Me too." Casey smiled.

"Casey, why don't you go paint your nails or something. Go in your tent." Derek snapped.

"No. I can stay out here if I want."

"Me and Sam don't want you-" Derek was cut off.

"Its fine. Whatever. She can be here too." Sam said, looking at Derek then Casey. Casey smiled.

"You don't have to be nice to her." Derek said, while toasting a marshmellow.

"Whatever man." was all Sam said.

"Not everyone is a total asshole, like you Derek."

"Well, not everyone can get the bitch of the year award, but lucky you, you got it!" He laughed. Sam didn't say anything, knowing it wasn't really his place, as Derek's best friend, and not Casey's boyfriend, which he really wanted to be.

"Ahh. I hate you. You know that right?" Casey stood up.

"Thank god. You'd think that would stop you from talking to me."

"I'm going to the bathroom place. I gotta brush my teeth.

"Um...hmmm... do I care?" Derek made a pretend, puzzled look. "OH! NO!"

"Fuck you." Casey said and walked off to the bathroom.

"Annoying bitch? Or annoying bitch?" Derek laughed.

"Mmmmm...yeah." Sam gave a half smile. He didn't want to be mean to Casey, but Derek couldn't know he liked her.

"Hey, did you see this months playboy?"

"No man. I didn't."

"Wow. Great layout. You wouldn't believe the crazy shit thats in there." Derek smirked, and was going to continue, until Sam spoke up.

"Ah, yeah. Actually, I gotta go to the bathroom."

"Alright. There's a nice tree over there that needs watering."

"Ah no. I'm going to the real bathroom."

"Why? Where in the wild buddy." Derek said blatently.

"I gotta take a dump" Sam lied.

"Oh. Okay. See ya in a hour" he laughed.

"Ha, yeah." Then Sam walked off to the bathroom. Hoping to see Casey, alone for a minute. Even though he didn't really know what he would say. When he got to the bathroom, there was Casey walking out.

"Oh hey." Casey waved.

"Hey. So...sorry about Derek."

"Sorry?" Casey was surprised. Did Sam say he was sorry that Derek was being a total asshole earlier? Maybe he did like her.

"Oh...thats just Derek. Being him."

"Yeah, well, I...ah, don't think you deserve the bitch award." he smiled.

"Thanks." she smiled back. "Not many of Derek's friends would say that."

"Well...that's retarded. Your really nice."

"Yeah? Um, well, your really nice too." Right now, both of them were freaking out inside. They had no clue what was going on.

"Thanks." and then they stood there in an awkward silence.

"So, I'll see you at the camp site then." Casey finally broke the silence.

"Okay." And they both went their separate ways. When Sam got back a few minutes later, Casey was just going in her tent, and of course Derek had to blow it for him.

"Did ya show the crapper who's boss?" Derek laughed, while Casey made a slighty disgusted face.

"No. I was...just... shut up."

The next morning Casey woke up early, like she always does. She opened her eyes, and looked at her watch. It read 7:35. She rubbed her eyes and looked over at Lizzy sleeping next to her. So she decided to go out of the tent in her pajama's (pink and green poka dotted pants, and a green t-shirt that said 'SMILE' on it. And, no bra on.) Of course her hair was horrible, but she figured everyone, or at least Sam would sleep later. She unzipped the tent door, and walked out into the morning air. It was warm, but not humid. She stretched her arms up and walked past Sam and Derek's tent. toward the picnic table and sat down. She looked out at the water, and listening to it splashing on the shore.

"Casey?" Sam said, walking, what seemed out of nowhere.

"Sam. Hi." she smiled. "What were you doing? Where were you?"

"Oh, well I was taking a piss in the woods."

"Oh...yeah." then Casey realized she was in her morning scrubs. Looking horrible. If Sam did like her, he might be turned away now. "I look retarded. I just woke up." and she started to get up.

"Whatever Casey. Like I care. Look at me." he said with a slight smile, and Casey looked him over. He was wearing Green, baggy pajama pants and, sadly a shirt, that was black with some band she didn't know on it. It said 'The Casualties'. And his hair was kind'a messed up.

"Right." she said after her observation.

"Its nice out huh?"

"Yeah. It is."

"Good day for a swim." Sam said, looking out on the lake. "The waters not too rough."

"Are you gunna go swimming? When Derek gets up?" Casey asked.

"Yeah. But, I think I'll go right now too. Wanna join me?" Sam smiled. Casey wondered, what was this? Was he just being really nice? None of Derek's others friends wouldn't do this. Or even talk to her.

"Sure. I just gotta get my bathing suit on." And then Sam started to smirk. "What Sam? Oh, were kidding? You don't wanna swim now?" she felt stupid.

"No I do. Be right back."

"Okay. I'll be right back too." They both went into their tents with smiles covering their faces, and changed into their bathing suits. Sam was wearing blue shorts, while Casey put on a black and pink colored tankini. (A bikini, that has a long top, not show in tummy. lol if u didnt know).

Sam was a little disapointed it wasn't a bikini, but whatever. He just wanted to go swimming with her, and spend time with her, with out Derek.

"Its coldish" Casey said, putting in her feet. And, looking at Sam. He was skinny, but still had a very nice stomach area.

"Coldish?" he laughed a little. "Its fine. Get in you baby."

"Hey, you get in" she smirked.

"I will." and he ran in the water, and went under, then coming up, head soaked, with a smile on. "You turn."

"Okay." she walked in slowly, letting the water touch her body another inch every few seconds. But then finally she was in, except for her head.

"You gotta get your hair wet." Sam swam near her.

"No. I don't." she said matter-of-factly.

"But you do." he said and splashed her, leaving her hair soaking wet.

"Sam! I can't believe you!" she splashed him back, with a small smirk.

"You can't?" he laughed and splashed her more. "Thats weird."

"Agh. Stop it." she said with a splash, but secretly hoping he wouldn't stop.

"Fine, fine." he stopped, and swam around some more. "Sorry. But, its not too bad being wet is it?"

"No, I guess not." She swam near him. "So, what are you and Derek gunna do today?"

"Um, I dunno."

"Go to the beach? Check out the hot chicks?" she forced a smile.

"Hot chicks? Nah." They were really close to each other now. And their legs slightly touched for a moment. "You gunna check out hot guys?"

"No."

"Why not?" Sam asked.

"Cuz, I don't care about hot guys. I want a guy with good personality. Funny, nice... that stuff. But, I mean, if their cute too, yay." she smirked.

"Ha. Well, if their cute, it'd make it a lot easier to make out with 'em." he gave a small laugh.

Casey laughed too. "Ha, yeah. I guess it would. But, hopefully there's a guy out there who doesn't care about looks so much, and likes a good personality. Cuz if there's not, there's no hope for me." she looked down into the water.

"Yeah right. Casey, you...look great."

"Right." she said sarcastically.

"You do." and then Sam leaned in to kiss her. ITS GUNNA HAPPEN! Casey thought. He does like me. FINALLY! I'M GUNNA KISS HER! Sam thought. And then, they kissed. There moist wet lips touched, and Sams hand touched her cheek.

"Um..." Casey said, and then smiled.

"Was I wrong to think we could do that?"

"No, no." and she kissed him again, with more force, and letting their tongue's slip in each others mouths. Then the sound of a zipper from a tent door came. They stopped there kissing, and moved away from each other.

"Sam! Get away from Casey! Why are you even sharing the same water with her!" he hadn't seen the kiss. But if he found out, he would be pissed.

Sam turned to Casey and smiled, and then to Derek. "I was hot." Damn right he's hot. Casey's thought.

Good? Ha, I dunno. Still no spell check. sorry.
