I just want you to know, I don't usually update everyday, but I'm bored and I love writing this story. to the 3 who reviewed (as of this moment), you guys are so nice! Jynxite, your review almost made me cry, I'm not kidding! Anyway, here's the next chapter!

Disclaimer: If I owned TDI or TDA, than Noah would win TDI and be in TDA, so obviously I don't own it.

I couldn't believe it. This guy, who was quickly turning out to be a sadistic psycho, was informing us that we had to jump off a cliff 100 feet into a shark-infested lake, with a small safe-zone in it. Why did I sign up for this?

An image flew into my head of a check for 100 grand with my name on it. Oh right.

One by one, I watched my team go ahead. I planned to wait until they had all gone, and then I'd tell Chris I couldn't do it. I'd just use the same reason DJ had; fear of heights.

Soon it was just me and Sadie who hadn't jumped. I turned to explain my situation to him, but Sadie and her friend Katie had beaten me to it. Well, their version of it.

"I'm not jumping without Katie!" Sadie said, holding on to her friend. Katie nodded and agreed, "We have to be on the same team Chris!" They went in closer to him to ask please repeatedly.

I turned to Noah, who was looking at me with an eyebrow raised, and an idea came to me.

"I'll switch places with her!" I said to Chris, raising my hand as I did. I guess I was still on school time. Irrelevant.

"Alright, fine!" Chris said, sounding exasperated. "You're both on the Killer Bass now. Courtney, you're on the Screaming Gophers."

The two BFFS ran off hand in hand, not bothering to thank me. Not like it mattered. Noah had a huge grin on his face that he probably didn't even realize was there. It looked cute on him.

No, Courtney, don't! Remember what happened last time? Focus!

I shook my head to clear the thoughts as I stood beside Noah, watching as our team members jumped. Huh. It felt good to say our team members.

"It's great that you're here." Noah leaned in to whisper to me. "I was afraid I'd actually have to talk to Lindsay."

I couldn't help but giggle. I'd never met anyone like Noah. He was so… sarcastic, and smart, and funny, and nice, and…

Before long, I noticed that we were the only two campers on the cliff, besides Owen and Trent. I also noticed that everyone was looking at me, as if they expected me to jump next. Oh no.

"Excuse me Chris, I have a medical condition." I said, much more nervously than I intended. Before Chris could reply, Noah turned to me. "Are you alright?" he asked, in a concerned way that made my heart skip a beat.

"Yeah, I just…."

"Don't want to jump?" he finished.

"Yeah," I whispered, feeling embarrassed.

"Hey, it's alright. It's just a 100-foot plummet to our doom. Toughen up!" he said, grinning at me. I smiled in return, but I could feel the strain it took my muscles. I think Noah noticed it to, because his next words were softer, almost a whisper.

"It won't be so bad." To top it off, he took my hand and gave it a little squeeze. Looking into his eyes, I forgot why I didn't want to jump. My skin felt hot, and my heart was beating wildly… so I pulled my hand away. The viewers might get the wrong idea. Just in case, I made a mental note to visit the confession stall later, just to clarify.

"Okay," I sighed, facing the cliff. "Here I go!" And without a second thought, I jumped.

On the way down to the lake, I suddenly remembered why I didn't want to jump: A beach. A Shark. A surfboard. A torn, bloody limb. A crying girl…

I forced the thoughts out of my mind. After all, it was too late now. What's done is done.

I landed in the water, then quickly came up and looked around. I was in the safety zone! I was alright! Just like Noah had said.

Speaking of Noah, I heard a scream from above, getting closer and closer, until finally there was a small splash in the water next to me. When he came up, I couldn't help but marvel once again at how cute he looks when his hair's wet.

"See, that wasn't so terrifying, was it?" he asked, his teeth chattering wildly. I laughed and swam over to the boat that would bring us to the shore.

…

Everyone except Beth on our team jumped, and DJ was the only person on the other team who hadn't jumped, so both teams had to push the boxes that were supposed to be filled with hot tub supplies, but I suspected they were full of rocks, since it took both all of mine and Courtney's strength to push our load, and we arrived after everyone else had started.

"What took you guys so long? We are way behind, and we need all the help we can get, even it's just two nerdy lovebirds." Heather said, glaring at us. I had labeled Heather as someone I shouldn't mess with. However, Courtney hadn't been on this team for long, and didn't know how rude Heather was, and more importantly, how she had already claimed leadership of the team.

Courtney glared back at her. "It's not our fault those things are so heavy! Besides, you're behind because everyone is focusing on building the hot tub, when it'd be faster to have half of the team building and half fetching water."

Heather gaped at her, and so did I. So did everyone else. Heather had made it clear that you didn't mess with her and that you definitely didn't contradict her ideas. Though, I had to admit, Courtney's idea did make more sense than Heather's.

"So what, you think you can lead this team?" Heather asked. "I'd like to see you try!"

"Well, I am the only one here who's been a C.I.T. I have firsthand experience with summer camps."

"Well at least I'm popular!" Heather retorted, but Courtney didn't even bat an eyelash.

"What does that have to do with anything?! In case you haven't noticed, this is a reality show, not the Homecoming dance!"

Heather was about to retort, but the rest of their team started cheering, including me. Heather glared at them. "Stop it! What's wrong with all of you!?"

In response, they just stopped and started working but some of them picked up buckets and headed to the lake.

"Where do you think you're going?" Heather screamed after them, but they ignored her.

"We're going with Courtney's plan." Cody said as he worked on the hot tub.

"Fine! I'll be over here, laughing when it blows up in your faces!" Heather started to walk away then turned around. "Lindsay!"

The blond looked upset, but only hesitated for a minute before following Heather.

Courtney and I both grabbed buckets, and raced towards the lake to catch up with the others.

"That was amazing what you did back there, standing up to Heather." I said.

She rolled her eyes. "Well, someone had to. I don't know why you guys let her boss you around like that. She's not that scary."

"Right. Neither is Godzilla."

I could tell she was trying to look annoyed, but there was a small smile on her face. "Has anyone ever told you you're a bit of an egghead?" she asked.

"Why, yes. Has anyone ever told you're a bit of an over-achiever?"

Courtney laughed. "All the time."

…

"The Screaming Gophers win!"

The team erupted into cheers, and everyone gathered around me. The boys gave me a pat on the back, and Gwen and LeShawna gave me a hug. Heather, of course, sat alone, pouting. But best of all was when Noah gave me a high-five.

"Nice going, Juliet."

I smiled, remembering our conversation from earlier. Thinking back, it had been awkward, but in a cute way.

"Thanks, Romeo."

…

That night, I relaxed in the hot tub with my team, drinking soda and eating chips. LeShawna started a Go Gophers! dance, which Owen and Noah. I felt my gaze stopping at Noah's butt, so I turned and looked away, feeling red in the cheeks and strange in the heart.

What's wrong with me?

You knew the C.I.T refrences were coming! Let me know what you think! I might not be able to update, since I have my dad's b-day party tomorrow and I start school next week... NOOOOOOOOO!!!! haha, review!
