Abby looked at the couple just ahead of her, laughing, giggling about something or other. She felt her cheeks burning, and her eyes stinging. Why did she still feel about Jackson this way? She thought she was over him? Maybe Jackson just being around Melissa was beginning to annoy her a bit. Was she jealous?
Looking at them together, Jackson helping Melissa trudge through the jungle with her sore foot was enough to make her sick. Why did he like her for god's sake? What about me? She thought. I'm much prettier, smarter and funnier than her. What does he see in her?
No, that's horrible she corrected herself. This isn't what relationships are meant to be about! I like Melissa. I really do. And Jackson. Why am I so jealous?
Eric, who was slowly and lazily pacing through the thick mass of trees, was sneaking looks at the expression on Abby's face as she looked at the happy couple. It was more of a "She's going down!" expression, mixed with, "I'm so better than her." Eric smiled, wondering what was going on in her head. He picked up a small stone, and chucked it at the back of Jackson's head. It got him between the neck instead.
"What the...?"
Abby turned to Eric and laughed; something she hadn't done in a long time. Eric was funny. He always knew what to do when there were awkward moments. Eric smiled back, knowing that he was now on Abby's good side.

Camp was boring as usual. Wake up, do chores, eat, sleep. Same old routine everyday. Except for the fact that Daley and Nathan did all of their jobs together, smiling, blowing kisses, waving lovingly... all of that yucky stuff. Taylor on the other hand felt lonely. She longed to see Eric again, get up to mischief with him, all that. Sigh.
