"NO! he was here! i swear!" Sara yelled.
i looked puzzled & said "what are you talking about,Sara?". She looked at me as if knowing that i knew that i was lying. "but.. i saw.. Brett in here.. ealrier..." Sara said unsure of what she saw before. Just then, we saw Brett walk out of his cabin & headed over to the window he had jumped out of earlier. "whats new?" he asked as he approached the window. "Sara is going insane. she thought she saw you & Ari together in here earlier." Mark said. "Dunno why she'd think that.. but ok." Brett said. suddenly Aimee walked over to Brett & the rest of us. "Brett. i just want to say sorry for what happened lastnight. it wasn't my fault. Sam-" Aimee started but i interupted. "Aimee, if it was Sam's fault, he would be saying sorry to Brett. i fer sure don't believe you. dunno 'bout the rest of 'em. but i don't. what i saw sure as hell didn't look like it was Sam's fault." she looked at me like i was the insane one. "But he-" She started again but Brett turned to face us inside the room, he rolled his eyes & jumped inside the window. "Aimee. just shut up. i'm NEVER gonna get back with you. i love someone else." Brett said pissing Aimee off. She stormed off yelling "you can't go far without me". Brett yelled back "WATCH ME!". he slammed my window shut & flopped face first in a huge pile of beanbags in the corner of my room. "So.. someone else?" Brandon said after we hear Brett sigh. he sits up & looks at me for a second & then the others. "y-yeah. someone else." Brett said & my heart skipped a few beats. i glanced down at my feet that were hidden under blankets. Sara slipped out of her state of daze. "(gasp) ARI! FOR REAL?" i knew she saw what had happened lastnight/this morning. "what? i don't understand..." i reply still hiding my secret hook-up. "You & Brett? really?" she continued immediatly after me. i looked at brett who smirked. "well, i guess the vamp is out of the coffin." Brett said standing up. "Whoa! this is... umm.. well... not what i expected." Elliott said scratching his head. before we had the chance to reply, the breakfast bell rang. we all hurried out to get there on time. while standing in line, Elliott, the tallest of the group, looked back & saw Aimee like 10 people behind us. "heads up. Aimee is back there. if she see's you two-" Elliott started but Brett interupted. "She can know about us for all i care." Brett said putting his arm around me. i glanced back to look at Aimee without being seen & saw one of her friends run up to her & told her "Brett hooked up with Ariannaleigh lastnight after you two split". i turned around & mouthed 'oh, shit!'. Brett leaned down & asked what was wrong. i simply told him.
"one of Aimee's friends just told everyone around her about us.". he took a deep breath & slowly let it out. "OH. Ari! whats your real name anyway?" Mark said. "Ariannaleigh. my mother wanted me to be named Annaleigh & my father wanted to name me Arianna. my Uncle, being a freakin genious, told them to name me Ariannaleigh. i personally hate it. i want to legally change my name to Ari." i reply finally reaching the breakfast room. we got our food & sat down at the table in the corner furthest away from the food area. food has absolutely no nutritional value to us, but because we live with humans, we need to maintain a human-like appearance & act like humans.
After Breakfast, Aimee walks over to Brett & i who were lounging in one of the 2 hammocks. the other one was occupied by Sara, Brandon, Christopher and Elliott. Mark was lounging on the lowest tree branch above the rest of us. "What do you want, Aimee?" Brett said still having his arm around me. "why are you with that bitch right there? you can do better than her. i mean, look at the people she hangs around with." she said. i sat up & said "Call me a bitch, i don't care. but call my friends out & we need to talk. hey! here's some advice: if you talk shit, you're bound to be hit." . man, Aimee did NOT like that at all. Aimee just snickered & replied "make me, Bitch" . Brett tightened his grip on me, so i couldn't go hurt her. "Both of you need to chill." Brett said calmly. "But why her, Brett? i want an answer." "Because she's not one to CHEAT on someone... & because..." "Because?" "Well, multiple more reasons accually." "Oh realy?" "First of all, you always blew me off to go shopping & stuff with 'your girls'. Secondly, all of the times we kissed, hugged and even talked, i was thinking about Ari. Lastly, you don't even KNOW german." Brett said, temper forming. "But Brett, German is such a violent language. why would you want to speak it in the first place?" Aimee continued to whine. "Aimee, we don't want to fight. we just want to live life to the fullest. is that a problem with you?" Brett asked sternly. i wanted to say something, but i feared for the groups safety. Aimee's 'posse' is godzilla compared to ours. we only have 7 & she has like 300. "no. it's not that. but it's WHO you're with." Aimee said looking at me. Brett looked me up & down. "I don't see a problem." he said smiling at me. i couldn't stop myself from smiling back. "It's how she dresses! look at her, Brett! short-shorts, a corset-like tubetop & thigh high boots. Whats NOT wrong with that?" Aimee said pointing at my clothes. i looked down at my top & bottoms. "I smell a jeallous skank!" Mark sang to 'himself' outloud for Aimee & the rest of us to hear. "UGH! YOU PEROPLE MAKE ME SICK!" Aimee yelled as she stormed off. then Mark yelled; "SMELL THAT? THAT'S DEFEAT! SKANK!" we looked up at Mark & he just smiled back down at us. Suddenly, we hear an announcement roar over the intercom. "WILL THE GIRL WHO LOST HER UNDIES REPORT TO HEADMASTER IMMEADIATLY." i faced Brett & burried my face into his side. "BUSTED!" Elliott yelled. I stood up & walked over to Elliott. "i'll just blame you." i said with a smirk as Brett stood up & grabed my hand. we headed for Headmasters cabin. While walking, Brett held onto my hand as if i was dangling over a cliff. Before we walked into Headmasters Cabin, i paused & took a deep breath in & opened the door. "Ariannaleigh. welcome. what brings you here?" Headmaster asked as i stepped in. "umm. Someone took the undies from my room during the night lastnight. & i came here to collect them seeing how we only have a few hours left at camp this year." i say quickly dropping Bretts hand. "here you go" Headmaster said as he handed me a bag with my undies inside. "Oh, Ariannaleigh, while you & your friend is here, i would like to talk to you 2 & see if you guys want to be counsilors next year. is that anything you guys would like to do?" Headmaster said looking at Brett & i. we looked at eachother & nodded. "Great! just sign these papers & we'll talk about this later. you 2 must go pack." Headmaster said as we finished signing the papers, he pushed us out the door & took the papers from us. as soon as the door slamed behind us, we grabbed eachothers hand again & headed to my cabin.
Brett sat on my bed while i packed my clothes into the duffel bag i brought. next was the blankets on my bed, which were under Brett & i knew he'd refuse to move. i started to pull on the blankets & Brett wasn't gonna move. he looked at me & smirked. "you gotta pack, don't you?" i asked. he shook his head. "no. i packed yesterday.". great, he's done packing. fer sure he won't move now. "Can you go tell Sara to go pack her bags? she's always the last one packed." i said to Brett who was laing down on my bed. he looked out the window. "here she comes. Omg.. look at her". i looked & saw Sara giving Elliott a piggy-back ride. we both giggled. i finished paking my clothes & then i got a call from Zara, my older sister. i had no excuse to NOT answer the phone "City Morgue."
"Ariannaleigh, you need to grow up already. you're 665 years old!" "What do you want, Zara?" i ask sitting on the edge of my bed by Brett.
"Mom & Dad need to talk to you as soon as possible."
"ok. put 'em on the phone."i reply hoping i could talk to them. "They say that they need to talk to you in person."
"ok. i'll be home as soon as i possibly can. we still have another hour at camp then we can leave. besides, i have friends who will be riding with me." i say glancing at Brett & rolling my eyes.
"just hurry as fast as you can. they say it's important"
"ok. see you in a few hours at the most"
"just hurry" she said as she hung up. The door opened suddenly. we looked, it was Sara, Mark, Elliott, Christopher and Brandon. They looked around my room. "Jeez, you're room got packed fast. did Brett help?" Elliott asked. "Nah! i just did what i'm doing now." Brett said smiling. "Lazy" Mark & Elliott said in unison. "tell Brett to get off my bed so i can pack my blankets. he won't listen to me." i ask. Brett stood up, opened the window again & sat on the window sill. he looked out the window as if he was looking for Aimee. i quietly sighed & tossed the bags i finished packing out the window. i folded my blankets & put them in my final bag. i tossed that out the window too. "Ummm.. Ari?" Elliott said. i looked at him. "You forgot your pillow." he replied pointing to my pillow.
"DAMNIT!" i yelled picking it up & tossing it out the window without even looking. we heard an "oomph" & a loud thud. i quickly looked at the window to where Brett was sitting. he was gone. i ran to the window & peaked out. as soon as i did, Bretts strong arms reached up & pulled me onto him. i landed straddling him & in a passionate kiss. "Jeez, sucking face much." i hear the others say as they looked out the window. Brett slowly pulls away & laughs.i finally get up & help Brett up. we look into the window & see Elliott & Mark laying on the bed.
Brett leans forward, up against the window & says; "good thing those 2 don't know about last night." i giggled & replied "yeah.". Elliott & Mark look at each other &, as fast as they could, blurred over by Sara. Sara, on the otherhand, stared at Brett & i with owl eyes. i just smirked. suddenly, i got a really bad feeling. dunno why, but i did. another announcement came over the intercom; "IT THAT TIME AGAIN CAMPERS.. AT THIS TIME, PLEASE PACK YOUR BELONGING INTO YOUR CARS.". as the announcement went off, we grabbed our bags & piled them into the back of my Hummer. i close the back end with force. the door slamed shut & i turned around to see Aimee crying her eyes out untill she saw me looking at her. "What you lookin' at FREAK?" she sneered as more tears fell slowly down her cheeks. but before i could say anything, i saw Sam walk behind her with another girl in his grasp. Sam dumped her. i quickly turned around & walked back to the firepit.
We all sat around the pit & waited to see what happens. 10 minutes passed & Headmaster finally walked to the firepit. "People, please quiet down." Headmaster said as we grew quiet. "We have some news." he said as the last of the people shut up. "we will have new counsilors next year." he continued. there was a quiet murmur between people as Brett & i look at each other & smiled. Sara nugged me in the side, when i looked she mouthed to me: "what did you do this time?". i smiled & said "just watch". the Headmaster glanced at me & Brett & smirked. the group grew quiet again. "Will the new counsilors pleaze join me down here by the firepit." Headmaster continued. Brett & i stood up & joined Headmaster next to the firepit. Elliott & Mark had their jaws on the ground. the rest of our group had owl eyes. being a counsilor will be fun; later curfew, more privaliges & more respect from the campers.
