Hey There!

First wanted to say, sorry about the somewhat short chapter. I just felt like it was a good place to leave off, but hopefully I will write a longer one soon! It is amazing to see the responses from some of you, it just inspires me to keep writing. I can't wait to hear what more you all have to say! Remember to review, favorite, and follow! And just in case you didn't know, you all rock!

Yours Always,

Undercover Dreamer

The distant sound of a proud trumpet shook me from my dreamless sleep. The beautiful music rang out across the tree tops and all over the lake. I felt conscious, but my eyes remained shut as I took in the warmth from the sun and silently smiled to myself. My skin felt tingly as sand rubbed against the exposed parts of my legs up until they were covered by my pajama shorts. There was a sudden rush of cold against my foot that caused my eyes to shoot open and a shiver to run down my spine. It took a moment for my eyes to adjust to the tremendous light of the early morning, but what I saw didn't make sense.

My arms were wrapped around a muscular body covered by a blue tee-shirt; my head was resting on it just moments ago. My eyes slowly traveled upwards, and a feeling of dread poured over me like maple syrup on a stack of pancakes.

The messy blond hair, perfectly built structure, and full pink lips: it was all there. All that was missing was the eyes, but they remained still shut as he slept. I was tempted to just sit there and watch him; he was such a peaceful sleeper. It made me want to lie back down in his arms and never let go.

Stop, Ally. You're being creepy.

And then suddenly, it all hit me at once. I remembered everything that happened last night and everything I had told Austin. I thought of how I told him everything that was there in the back of my mind that I never had the guts to tell anyone else before. I thought of him comforting me, and telling me that everything would be alright. I almost smiled at the mere memory of the night before. But then I remembered the horn that went off just a few minutes ago and his girlfriend that was waking up right now less than a mile away.

I quickly untangled myself from his grasp and poked him in the stomach maybe a little bit harder than necessary.

"Austin, wake up." I said sternly, but he just rolled over and nuzzled into the sand.

"Mhm.." He grumbled slightly in his sleep.

"I said, WAKE UP!" I spoke louder into his ear, shoving his back a few times for good measure.

"What the…wait. Where am I?" Austin's eyes fluttered open and he held up his hand to block out the sun.

"We're at your private beach. Why did you let me fall asleep?" I asked him angrily as I got up and brushed the sand off my arms and legs.

"Ally?" He squinted up at me, shifting to lay leaning on his forearms.

"Yeah." I huffed.

"Is it morning already? I don't even remember falling asleep!" He looked around at his surroundings and yawned lazily as he got to his feet.

"Austin, we have been gone all night! What are people going to think? When we get back they will ask where I was and I won't have a good answer for them. What if they see me coming back and then you and they put two and two together. Oh my gosh! What if Matt finds out where we were and I get kicked out on my second day at camp? What if Kira finds out we were together last night?"

I saw the smirk that appeared on his face and rolled my eyes.

"Not together together, stupid!" I playfully hit him in the arm for being such a boy. But as quickly as it went, the worried expression reappeared on my face. Austin took a step closer to me and ducked down to get into my sight line. He placed one of his hands on my right arm soothingly.

"Everything is going to be fine, Ally." His low voice gave me chills underneath the warm sun. "Here is what is going to happen: you will head down the path to your cabin and tell them you went out early this morning to catch the sunrise. I will follow a few minutes after you so they won't see us come back together. I guarantee you no one will suspect a thing, it is pretty common to go out watch the sunrise here. The dawn is beautiful over the lake."

"You say that like you've seen it."

"Only every morning I am here at camp, from the comforts of my private beach." I giggled a little at the comment about his beach.

"Hey Austin?" I asked sheepishly, looking up at him from under my eyelashes.

"Yes Ally?" His eyes were steady and calm looking into mine.

"Thanks for everything." I wrapped my arms around his middle and took a moment to just take in all of him. Austin smelled sweet like vanilla, but it was a warm scent that left me melting. My body fit into his like we were perfect molds, made just to fit in with each other. His steady heart beat thundered in my ear and throughout my whole body. It was like his pulse was synchronized with mine and it would be like ripping my own heart out to let him go.

It took all that was in me to quickly pull away and so without another glance, I ran into the woods.

I slipped into the cabin ten minutes later with the plan rushing repeatedly through my head. Cassidy and Trish were looking through there drawers for clothing to wear. From the absence of Kira, I suspected she was behind the closed bathroom door. When I entered, Trish's head snapped up and she marched over to wear I stood.

"Where were you this morning?" Trish seemed almost angry as crossed her arms in front of her.

"We woke up and you were gone. We almost went to tell Matt that you disappeared." Cassidy's face was full of worry as she came over toward us.

"Where were you, Ally?" Trish repeated, a little bit louder and more irritated.

"I, uh, went to watch the sunrise?" I stuttered immensely and my voice went up and octave. My lie came out sounding more like a question than a statement.

Trish let out a huge breath and stomped back over to her bed. "Fine, I get it. Just don't leave anymore without telling somebody. "

Cassidy lowered her voice to a gentle tone. "We were really concerned, Ally."

I looked into Cassidy's sky blue eyes, and then Trish's deep brown ones. I suddenly felt extremely guilty for my mistake, since I hadn't even thought about how my friends might be feeling. But it also felt good to know that these people cared and were worried about me.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to worry you guys. It's just that I've heard that the sunrise over the lake is amazing and I couldn't wait another moment to take in all the beauty. I didn't want to ask any of you to come because I thought you would have already seen it tons of times. I just wasn't thinking." I kind of blabbed on for a while until I could see both of them smiling at me.

"It's fine, Ally. What's done is done. " Cassidy finally said.

"Just don't do it again." Trish huffed from her bed. She seemed upset, but I could tell a soft spot had opened up at my personal embarrassment.

"I won't, I promise."

Cassidy gave me a little shove toward my bed. "Alright, good. Now you better hurry and get ready, or we are going to be late for breakfast."
