Sorry guys, I would have updated again yesterday but I got a phone call from my boyfriend asking me to meet him in the emergency room at the hospital – he'd put a drill bit through his finger at work (ouch!)
But anyway you don't really wanna hear about that so I'm gonna get on with it!
BTW – thanks for the reviews!
We made our way back to the campsite and I must admit I was a little disappointed when Fulton decided to walk with Kenny and Portman.
I had been assigned with Connie and Guy to cover Russ and Dwayne's tent with fake spiderwebs whilst the other guys did Goldberg and Averman's tent. Luis had struck it lucky (in a way I suppose) by having to share with Bombay.
"Have you got the stuff?" I asked Guy. Portman was in one of his sexist moods that night and declared that Guy would be the least likely to lose the gear in the woods. Both Connie and I had punched him hard for that.
Guy nodded "Be careful with it, its really sticky"
Connie and I rolled our eyes, duh!
Okay, that one's theirs" Guy pointed to a green tent on the outskirts of the group.
I looked to my left and saw Fulton, Kenny and Portman sneaking over to a purple tent with the snakes in hand.
"Okay Julie you take that end, Connie you do the middle and I'll do the other end" Guy instructed.
"Wait!" Guy stopped suddenly.
"What?" Connie and I hissed.
"Cons don't do that entrance yet, I'm gonna leave them a surprise inside the tent" Guy said kneeling down by the rear entrance.
My heart was in my throat as he unzipped the tent. None of us had any clue whether Russ or Dwayne were heavy sleepers or not and I was praying it wasn't the latter otherwise we'd be busted big time.
"Come on Jules hurry up!" Connie urged me to keep going.
I did as she requested and Guy came crawling out of the tent with a grin on his face. He hadn't woken the boys up.
Guy got to work on his side of the tent and in no time the tent looked like some freakish monster spider had weaved its web all over it.
"Nice!" Fulton whispered behind me making me jump out of my skin.
"Quit doing that!" I scolded slapping him on the arm.
"Sorry" he whispered again lowering his head.
I felt so guilty for hitting him but before I could say anything Portman came running over.
"Bombay's up" he hissed as we all bolted for the safety of the trees surrounding the campsite.
My heart once again found its way into my throat as we watched from the trees. I was crouched down as low as I could go and I was starting to feel a cramp in my left leg.
"Shh! Get down further, he can see our heads" Guy hissed.
I moved so that I was lying on my stomach peering through the branches of a bush. I could feel a heavy weight on my left shoulder.
I glanced over to see Fulton leaning on me straining to see through the gap I was right in front of.
Then I could feel a weight on my right shoulder and looked to see Portman doing the same thing.
If I could have yelled at him I certainly would have as he pressed his face right up next to mine unnecessarily. I could smell the scent of stale cigarettes on his breath and closed as he breathed heavily next to me.
God I hope Connie doesn't see this, she's already convinced that there's something going on between us.
I moved my head to the left and almost headbutted Fulton.
"Sorry" I whispered
"Its okay, am I too heavy?" Fulton asked concerned.
"No but he is" I reply indicating to Portman who was still watching Bombay with great interest.
"Sorry about him" Fulton apologised for his friend.
"Guys this is it" Portman whispered excitedly unaware that Fulton and Julie hadn't been watching.
I felt a hand snake around my waist, that had better be Fulton's hand otherwise Portman was going to be leaving camp minus his nuts.
I turned my attention back to the scene at the campsite just in time to see Miss Mackay open her tent to let Coach Bombay in.
"Score! We win! Suck shit Portman" Fulton whispered smugly.
"Hey they could leave the tent. You haven't won yet" Portman argued.
"We don't want them to leave the tent" Kenny piped up "We want them to go to sleep!"
Guy looked annoyed. "Shit how are we gonna get Charlie and Jesse back now" he asked.
"Give them a little while, although if they're too busy with each other they might not hear us. Charlie's tent is a fair way away" Connie pointed out.
I looked from Miss Mackay's tent to the grey tent under the tree where Charlie and Jesse had set up. Charlie had raced ahead of the others earlier to pick out the best spot. He argued that the tree would block the early morning sun. Soon he's gonna realise what a big mistake that was.
"So what are we gonna do?" I asked turning a little so that my back was up against Fulton. I was pleased to find out that hand was indeed his.
Connie looked over at me and glanced down at the hand that was now resting on my hip. I could see her eyes light up and she was about to say something when Ken cut her off.
"I reckon ten minutes then we hit otherwise it'll be too late"
The others agreed. It sounded like a good enough plan. Who knew what Bombay and Miss Mackay were getting up to in that tent.
"Guys what if Charlie or Jesse wake up?" Connie asked her eyes darting from Fulton's hand to the group and back again.
"Trust me he wont" Portman replied with a tone that sounded purely evil.
"Why? What have you done?" I asked intrigued to know what his answer would be.
"Lets just say our buddy Ken over there has a pharmacist for a dad" Portman replied with a smirk. They'd covered all bases with this prank.
"What did you give them?" I asked Ken unsure as to whether I should be worried or not. Who knew what Portman instructed him to give them.
"Its okay, just a little sleep medication in their hot chocolate" Ken replied easing my mind a little. Ken wouldn't hurt someone deliberately, even if he was under pressure from Portman.
"Oh" I reply softly.
"Its okay, its nothing harmful" Fulton whispered in my ear as he squeezed his hand on my hip slightly to reassure me.
I nodded accepting his answer.
"Okay guys showtime!" Ken announced as we made our way towards Charlie and Jesse's tent.
