Disclaimer: I own nada.
Again, sorry but I gotta finish with Daphne before I give you guys more lovey-dovey Puckabrina. Yes, I wrote a whole Valentine's Day chapter(a month late but whatever)--so please be patient and it'll most likely be out soon after the whole epidema with camp is over and done with.
12. Where's Jane?

Daphne's point of view...
I sat in our cabin's bedroom on my new cabin bed--newly made this morning--and tried to process through my head what's happened these past couple days.
Camp's been fun and Devin's made sure to help me see that. He seems very friendly--which is kinda strange in a way. I mean, I'm not used to guys like him being friends with girls like me. If Sabrina were here she'd probably be all over him and yet hate his guts at the same time. Well, if she wasn't with Puck, that is.
You see, my sister would have crushes on guys then call them players if they were the kind of guys Devin is. Gothic/Emo skater-boy, bad-boy mix--with blue-green eyes. Brina adored blue-green eyes. Ha, I think you may know why. Shall I spell it out? P-U-C-K--not "puke" as my dear dad seems to think.
So yeah. If Sabrina were here she's be warning me 24/7 not to get mixed up with a guy like him. Then Dad would try to tell me that guys like him only want one thing from girls... As for Mom--well she'd probably tell me to listen to my heart.
So...who shall I listen to for now? Oh, dear mother of mine, you have won round one.

"Hey Daph!" I heard a pair of feet running up the stairs and a knock on the bedroom door before a head popped in. "You busy?"
I willed him to keep going with a shake of my head.
"Me and the guys're going down by the lake. You want in?"
"Um..." Well, why not? I thought. What difference does it make? But...lake equals swimming; bathing suits. The only one Mom packed for me was the old purple one-piece with silver frils. "Sure," I replied, having to give in to his puppy-dog face. Damn, he could probably top my look if he had enough practice. Those eyes...
"Great! Well, we're all meeting down at the bonfire place in 5 minutes, if you want to pack some stuff. See ya," he said before departing with a wink.
Ugh, purple and frilly. Could my day get any worse? First I wake up with a bad case of knotted hair since I forgot to unbraid before bed, then I spill grape juice on a white t, and now this.
Although...
I walked towads the drawers I share with Reem and fished out a dark blue two-piece I borrowed from Brina last summer and never gave back. I didn't think she'd mind me wearing it just this once. Well, more like twice or more--but still.

"Yo Grimm, the ball!"
I looked away from my book--"Right Behind You" by Gail Giles; one of the books on our reading list in Honors English I--and turned toward the guys playing volley in the lake. Edwin and Teddy--two guys from another cabin--heard we were here and came to play, since they knew Josh and Hoa from school.
Looking back to my left, I saw a the beach ball they were throwing aroud in the water and threw it at Rizzo's head.
"Great hit!" shouted Reem, cracking up at Rizzo rubbing his supposedly hurt head while I chuckled and waved a thanks.
"Come play!" Devin called, hair sticking to his face from getting plashed by the ball.
"Nah, you guys keep playing."
"Wha'ssa matter, you chicken?" he asked, mock in shock.
"Noooooooo," I stalled, looking around.
"Yes, you are. Just admit it--you're scared to get beaten in water-volley," the Scottish boy insisted.
"Nu-uh! Since you're not going to leave this alone, you know what? Fine, I'll play," I said, putting in my bookmark and jumping in the water.
And so, for the next half hour or so, I splashed and scored with them while Jane and Josh played chess on the bench.
After a while, I heard Josh shouting. As his calls grew closer and closer, I realized that he's calling for Jane.
"What, did the redhead get lost again or something?" asked Teddy.
"I don't know," Josh started as he hyperventilated, freaking out. "I went to the port-a-potty for a minute when she was reading some book. When I come back, she's gone! Where do you think she went?"
"Josh," Tess begins.
"Call the head counselor-- "
"Josh," she emphasized.
"Send out a search party--"
"Josh!"
"Call nine-one-one. Somebody do someth--"
"JOSH!"
"Wow, talk about losing your cool," I heard Rizzo mumble.
"What?" Josh finally asked, a little distracted.
"Calm down," Tess said. I had to admit, in times like this, I admired Tess for being the sole person I know who could get Josh to listen to reason. And that's when he's already freaking out about some stressing thing or another.
So in the end, after Tess got Josh to breath, Edwin ran over to the office to tell them what happened and everyone was advised to help search for the missing girl in the lime green sunglasses.
A/N: Any thoughts? Questions? Concerns?
Cleek da bou-on dawn bee-lo, as the stupid Americans making fun of Jamaicans say. No offense, of course. To either race.
Anyways, thanks to much to mindreadingweido, anonymous, Lara D, wickedcoolcat, 12grimmfan11, and gothicgal000. You guys are one of the only main reasons I'm still writing.
And I'm being serious.
BTW, if there's still any confusion anywhere:
The Grimm family didn't really die.
Chapter 6 was all Sabrina's dream, except for Puck's flashbacks at the end.
So yeah. Reviews, anyone?
