Chapter 4
Tom's POV:
Amber and Meghan crossed the line together and then they walked off with Kayla, Kelly, and Sasha soon joining them.
"Of course, we leave our challenge in the hands of girls," Bryce muttered angrily as he and Scott stocked by and soon everyone else followed and I was following Mike when I noticed that Amy was hanging back her eyes watching as the water lapped at the sand.
"Hey, Amy are you okay?" I asked walking up beside her.
"Yeah, I don't know I think my parents kind of expected me to win," Amy said and I put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"you're parents are nice, maybe a little controlling, but you tried your best and that's all you had to do," I said and Amy smiled at me.
"Thanks Tom," Amy whispered and I nodded and looked over my shoulder to where Max, Jake, Justin and Zack were standing and giving me thumbs up.
"Uh, you want to go for a walk?" I asked and Amy blushed and looked away and for a moment I thought she was going to say no, but then she turned back to face me smiling.
"Sure," Amy said and my heart jumped up into my throat as we both started down the beach. I glanced over my shoulder to where my cabin mates were grinning and silently cheering me on. Amy and I walked down the beach in silence and it was starting to get pretty awkward.
"Sorry this is so awkward," I apologized and Amy giggled.
"No need for apologies, I'm not talking either," Amy replied and I smiled.
"Um…can I tell you something?" I asked seeing as this was my chance and probably would be the only one I got.
"Of course," Amy said and we stopped and faced each other. She was only ½ an inch shorter than I was so I looked directly into her eyes.
"When we bumped into each other at the airport and up to this minute…I…um…you see," I started to get nervous as sudden thoughts struck my mind. What if she didn't like me back? What if this strained our friendship? Then I snapped back to reality as Amy looked at me intently.
"Come on tom you can tell me," Amy prompted kindly and I took a deep breath.
"Amy, I really like you and I've liked you from the moment we bumped into each other at the airport…there I said it," I said and turned and walked a few inches. "Go ahead say you don't like me back or run away," I called my shoulder, buy instead Amy came around in front of my and leaned over and kissed me on the lips. It only lasted a few seconds, but in my mind it lasted forever and for lifetime and when we broke apart Amy stared at me delicately.
"Meet me at the beach at 8 tonight," Amy whispered and then she walked away back up the beach and when she was pretty far away, I collapsed onto the sand a board smile on my face. Son I got up and hurried back to camp and noticed that Amy must have beat me, but as I entered my cabin the guys jumped me immediately.
"What happened?"
"Did you kiss her?"
"Does she like you back?"
The many questions stunned me and then I moved past them and flopped down on Zack's bunk.
"Let's just say that at 8 o'clock tonight I'm meeting her down at the dock," I said and the guys all high-fived and pressed further for details and finally cracked and told them that we had kissed and they all once again high-fived me and then they left me alone to think over the past events, but nothing could enter my mind except for the kiss that Amy had given me.
Dinner made me restless, but Amy and I sat at different sides of the table and it seemed like no one at our table and only Jake, Justin, Zack, and Max from the other table knew about Amy and I and I was pretty happy about that, but I noticed that at the other table they were whispering amongst themselves and casting glances at me and I quickly made them shut up.
"What are we doing after dinner?" Nick asked jolting a conversation.
"I don't know, Tom have any suggestions?" Scott asked.
"I'm…um busy…the others and I are going skateboarding around the island," I lied and they all shrugged.
"Okay, we'll just crash back at our cabin again like last night," Mike added and my stomach churned as I remember, Mike was Amy's older brother and if he found out that we had kissed and let alone liked each other, who knows what he'd do.
"Our parents I found out are enjoying a five-star meal with that stupid Chris guy filming their little reunion episode," Bryce added sparking a different conversation.
"Typical," I snorted and we all started discussing about how we had been forced to come and that we should at least get better food. Dinner seemed to end faster than I had expected and I noticed Amy was talking to Amber and Sasha quietly and they glanced at me and then hurried out with everyone else. I kind of hesitated and pretended to be tying my shoe while everyone else left and then only Amy and I were left in the mess hall. I rose and smiled at her as she bounced over and then we left the mess hall and then we started towards the dock, but then her hand grabbed mine and I glanced at her and smiled and she returned it as we both walked off towards the dock unaware of who was watching us…
Justin's POV:
Jake, Max, Zack, and I ducked around the corner of the mess hall and watched as Amy and Tom made their way down to the dock and then I laughed as I saw them take each others hands.
"What are you four doing?" We all jumped and spun around to face all of the adults and I quickly glanced over my shoulder and saw that Amy and Tom had stopped.
"Nothing of course," Zack lied and Courtney looked up and gasped and the others followed her gaze to where Tom and Amy were standing.
"Nothing, huh?" Cody flashed Jake and I a half-angry half-impressed glance.
"We're not intervening or anything," Jake promised.
"Ah, young love," Courtney whispered and then I glanced over my shoulder just as both of them kissed.
"That was so cute," Katie squealed.
"Their first kiss," Courtney sighed.
"It's not their first though," Max suddenly blurted and the adults looked at him.
"What do you mean?" Duncan asked curiously.
"They kissed after the challenge down on the beach as well," I added and Jake shoved me roughly.
"They do look cute together," Bridgette commented as Tom and Amy, unknowingly continued on down towards the dock until they disappeared.
"We'll just be going now," Zack said and we all hurried off and raced into our cabin luckily away from are spying parents.
"Tom is going to die if he finds out all of the adults were watching especially his parents," I panted as I climbed up and sat down on my bunk.
"I say we take his move as an example," Jake piped up. "Maybe we should tell Kayla, Kelly, Meghan, and Ellie how we really feel," Jake continued and I slapped my twin over the head.
"No…Jake's got a point we can't let Tom have all the fun now can we," Max added jumping up and he had a kind of creepy grin on his face.
"Who wants to go first then?" I asked and all eyes fell upon me and I sighed angrily. "Fine, but no spying on me," I ordered jumped down off the bed. I tried to calmly walk out of the cabin, but I felt really nervous and as I exited I could hear them snickering inside. I made sure no one was around and then started to walk across the blood-red path towards Kayla's cabin. Then I spotted Sasha walking back from the bathroom and I ran up and stopped in front of her.
"Hello," I greeted and Sasha smiled.
"Are you acting like tom and admitting your true love for someone?" Sasha asked and I had no choice, but to nod and Sasha sighed with happiness. "Which one of my friends are you crushing on," Sasha said lightly nudging me.
"Um…can you just get Kayla for me?" I asked and Sasha smiled and nodded and she went into the cabin and I waited outside and then I heard a very quiet squeal of surprise from inside and I was about to turn and go back to the cabin when Kayla opened the door and then slowly closed it behind her.
"Sasha told me you wanted to see me," Kayla said kindly and I looked at her cabin.
"Can we go someplace, less public," I hissed loudly and Kayla glanced at her cabin and giggled and we walked away from the cabin and stopped as we reached the edge of the forest. "Now you may talk," Kayla promoted her green eye shining with curiosity.
"Well, you see…okay I'm sorry, but I feel pressure and I don't think…," I trailed off as Kayla leaned over and kissed me on the lips and like automatically my arms wrapped around her and I pulled her closer to me and then we broke apart and just stood there staring at each other.
"You don't need to say anything," Kayla whispered and she hugged me tightly and then I nearly cursed when I saw Max quickly ducking behind the mess hall. "Listen, I really like you, but can we keep this just between our friends and not go public?" Kayla asked as we drew apart.
"Of course," I said quickly and Kayla smiled and leaned over and kissed my cheek and then she turned and walked away back towards her cabin. Once she was gone I stormed over to the mess hall and rounded the corner to face only Max.
"You are a little spy," I nearly yelled, but Max snorted and shook his head.
"I've been voted to go tell Kelly I like her," Max said holding up his hands innocently. I turned as I heard faint voices and saw that Tom and Amy were coming back up from the dock.
"You can tell Kelly later on since if Tom and Amy find us they will totally kill us," I whispered and Max and I hurried back to the cabin and we ducked inside and Zack and Jake jumped up not speaking the many questions that probably probed their minds at the moment.
"I'll explain later, but Tom is coming back," I said and we all hurried to look like we had done nothing wrong and weren't going to do anything wrong…luckily Tom stayed out a few minutes later and then entered and I looked up as he entered.
"Dude, I think I saw you four talking to the adults, am I right?" Tom immediately asked after shutting the door.
"Yeah and they kind of saw you guys holding hands and then kissed and they know you first kissed each other on the beach thanks to Max and Justin," Zack said and Tom shrugged.
"Its not like they'll confront us or anything," Tom said.
"Anyway…Justin what did Kayla say?" Jake asked curiously and Tom glanced at me.
"Nothing happened," I said even though I would eventually tell one of them what had happened.
"Yeah right, now what happened?" Zack asked and I shrugged.
"Nothing that concerns you guys," I said and Jake lightly shoved me.
"Tom told us what happened with him and Amy," Max pointed out and I glared at him.
"You're the one to speak since you never got to talk to Kelly," I snapped and Max snorted, but didn't deny it.
"Tomorrow you're the first one though," Jake said and I was glad they had given up trying to grill me down. It wasn't long before the other guys crashed in our cabin, because there was nothing else to do.
"What have you guys been up too lately?" Mike asked and I glanced at Tom who returned my glance.
"Oh nothing, talking about skateboard tricks and we were thinking of having a race you know between the skaters and the boarders," Zack said quickly covering.
"Oh well, not many of us brought skateboards and only Jake brought inline skates so that'd be a really um…interesting race," Bryce pointed out.
"It was only an idea," Jake whispered.
"Hey, I have an idea how about we go pull a prank on the girls...you know as sweet revenge," Scott suggested and we were all silent.
"Ours will have to better," Mark added and I couldn't help, but wonder if this was a good idea or they were just joking…
"Probably not, we might get in serious trouble," Mike said we all were silent again. Soon however we started talking again about who the other guys liked and we got some real shocks…Mike of course liked Amber, Nick liked Sasha, Bryce and Scott objected to liking any of the girls, and Mark liked Alex.
"We'll see you guys tomorrow," Mike said as he and the guys from his cabin left and when they did there seemed be a lightened tension from the room.
"That was really nerve-racking," Tom said and Max yawned.
"Dude, its like 1 in the morning," Max said glancing at his digital watch.
"Night you guys," Zack said and Max turned off the light and I had to grope around in the dark towards my bunk and then I climbed up and just lay on my back as I heard the others slowly fall asleep and I kind of fell asleep, but half of me kept thinking about how Kayla had kissed me just hours previously…the feelings had been amazing and spectacular and part of me wanted more…was that bad? I didn't really know how to answer myself so I just closed my eyes and fell asleep like I should've done a few minutes ago…
Ellie's POV:
The morning seemed to bring a new hope to some of the girls, but usually what brought hope to others brought misfortune to me…I could tell that Amy was hiding something, but it was something good and exciting for she couldn't keep still all morning. As she brushed her hair she bounced around happily and when I followed her to the bathroom she couldn't stop talking about how today was a wonderful day…it kind of made me sick.
"Ellie can I tell you a secret?" Amy suddenly rounded on me and I looked around and saw that it was deserted around us.
"Sure," I replied and Amy bounced a few steps backwards so that she was in front of me.
"I have a secret crush at camp, well its more like a secret boyfriend," Amy squealed and I nearly squealed with her.
"Who?" I demanded excitedly.
"Tom," Amy whispered in my ear and I gasped out of happiness.
"That's awesome," I said and we continued on towards the bathroom and now I finally understood why Amy was so happy.
"We kissed twice already, he's hugged me and said that he likes me and oh Ellie its so amazing," Amy gasped as we entered the bathroom.
"You're so lucky, I wish someone would like me," I whispered and Amy glanced at my sympathetically.
"Don't worry Ellie, there is someone here that likes you and I think I know how I can find out," Amy said and as I brushed my teeth, worry and excitement brewed in my stomach and as we both hurried back towards the cabin Amy sighed with relief. "He's alone good," Amy whispered. "Take this back to the cabin and put it on my bed and meet me in the mess hall," Amy said quickly and she raced away and then I spotted Tom walking slowly towards the mess hall. Amy stopped him and I noticed they were talking and then I thought popped up in my mind. Was she asking him, if one of the boys liked me? I hoped not, because that would probably put Tom in a really uncomfortable decision. I shook my head and hurried back towards the cabin and set my stuff back in my bag and then laid Amy's toothbrush and toothpaste on her bed and sighed as the cabin was empty…not even Clarisse had waited for me and she was my sister.
"Great," I mumbled and I started towards the door and just as I was exiting I jumped as I saw Zack waiting on the small deck.
"Sorry Ellie my bad," Zack said quickly and I smiled and shut the door behind me.
"No problem," I said and Zack returned my smile. "Is there something you want?" I asked and Zack blushed.
"Well, you can say that," Zack mumbled and I giggled and then sat on the railing so I was next to him.
"Are you here to see someone?" I asked knowing it was probably for Ashley or Alex.
"Y-yes," Zack stuttered.
"Everyone is already in the mess hall," I whispered motioning towards the mess hall.
"Well, not everyone," Zack said smiling and I laughed.
"True," I said.
"Besides the person I am here to see isn't in the mess hall, she's actually sitting right beside me," Zack said glancing at me and I felt myself blush.
"What business do you have with that person then?" I asked coyly and Zack laughed.
"Well, I wanted to tell that person that I think there are really cute and I would love to get to know them," Zack replied and I shrugged.
"Maybe that person wants to get to know you better too, maybe tonight down on the beach around 7?" I asked and Zack nodded.
"Will you tell that person that I will be there?" Zack asked nicely and I smiled.
"Of course," I replied and Zack once again returned my smile and then started to walk away towards the mess hall and when he was out of sight I nearly felt myself faint. My heart was beating faster and faster as every second passed and then I finally slid off the railing and started walking towards the mess hall. I entered and then went to sit beside Amy who asked me where I had been.
"I'll tell you after breakfast," I whispered back and I noticed Zack watching me and I smiled and then he looked away.
"I think I know what it's about anyway," Amy giggled and I looked at her and knew she must've seen me and Zack exchange glances.
"Don't tell anyone, but I'm meeting him down on the beach at 7," I whispered to amy who quietly giggled.
"Your secret is safe with me," Amy whispered back and then we completely changed the subject as Sasha and Amber jumped in about how much fun that challenge was, but I was only half listening as my heart and my mind couldn't get Zack's smile out of my head.
Parents POV:
"I think Tom and Amy are a cute couple," Courtney said and Katie nodded agreeing.
"Don't you think they're a little young?" Izzy asked.
"Maybe," Katie said shrugging.
"You know this will only spark other relationships as well," Bridgette pointed out. At the moment all of the mothers were gathered in the woods just talking and they had all seemed to be interested in Tom and Amy's kiss the night before.
"Someone will get hurt," Sadie added. "Not all relationships turn out the way they planned," Sadie added and the others nodded.
"I wonder who is next," Gwen said and the other sighed.
"I am not looking forward to seeing someone get hurt," Courtney whispered. "Especially not Amy," Courtney added.
"Courtney, I know my son and I can tell you that he is very sincere and kind and the way he kissed Amy last night meant that he really likes her, he won't hurt her," Katie said and Courtney nodded.
"Oh I know," Courtney replied. "Should we talk to the girls?" Courtney asked.
"Probably not," Denise chipped in. "Intervening with the girls could make them very uncomfortable," Denise added.
"I agree with Denise, for now we should just let them have their space," Leshawna said and Beth and Lindsay nodded.
"If we have to intervene then we will," Beth said.
"Only though when the time is right," Lindsay concluded and the adults started to shuffle back towards camp, but their husbands intervened with them.
"Hi," Bridgette greeted as Geoff shuffled over to stand beside her.
"You girls have a nice chat," Duncan said and the girls nodded.
"Same here," DJ added as he placed his arm around Denise. As the adults quietly talked they shuffled towards camp and then they stopped as they saw something that totally for 1) kind of creeped them out and 2) made them wonder if they had made the right choice…because standing close to the edge of the forest where they were was Kayla and Justin who in fact were holding hands and walking towards the beach.
"Amy and Tom aren't the only ones then," Cody said and he side glanced at Beth who returned the gaze.
"Those aren't the only two couple on this island," Bryce suddenly swung down from the tree followed closely by Mark and Scott.
"What are you three doing?" Sadie scolded and Scott shrugged.
"Eavesdropping would be the best way to describe it," Mark said and Izzy and Owen glared at him.
"What do you mean; they aren't the only two couples on this island?" Harold inquired.
"Well, we kind of have nothing better to do than eavesdrop and so far we've discovered that Amy and Tom are a couple of course," Mark said.
"Then there is Justin and Kayla," Bryce jumped in.
"Tonight will probably start the beginning of Zack and Ellie," Scott said.
"Max will be asking Kelly pretty soon," Bryce continued.
"Then most likely Jake and Meghan," Scott added.
"Oh and we can't forget Mike and Amber now," Mark concluded and the parents glanced at each other.
"We are pretty clueless then," DJ said and Mark nodded, earning a slap from Izzy.
"What you guys are, while you guys are enjoying your little reunion party, we've got romantic relationships blooming and you all have no clue," Bryce added and jumped and grabbed onto the tree branch and swung up and sat on the tree.
"Face it you guys are completely clueless about what is going on between us kids," Scott added climbing up after Bryce.
"It's a hard concept to grasp, but you'll grasp it eventually," Mark said following Bryce and Scott up into the tree.
"We'll see you all later," Scott said as they all disappeared further up into the tree.
"You know, I think they are right," Trent said. "We are pretty clueless about what is happening between our kids," Trent added and the others nodded.
"We can't intervene though, they'd never forgive us for that," Heather said and the others also agreed.
"Then what can we do?" Owen asked and then they ducked out of the forest and started up towards the camp and then they turned around as they heard hurried footsteps towards the camp. They turned and saw Max racing towards Kayla and Justin they stopped and watched as both broke apart and Max and Justin raced back up and Kayla looked around frantically and then she spotted them and raced towards them.
"Okay, I can be mad at you later for possibly spying on me, but we've got a problem," Kayla gapsed and the parents all looked at each other.
"What happened?" Leshawna demanded.
"It's Jake, something happened," Kayla began and then Beth and Cody just raced off in the direction that Justin and Max did and Kayla and the other adults raced after them…fear rising in all of their hearts.
