Marissa was lost in the woods near the camp. She wandered through trees as menacing sounds sounded around her. She grew more panicked the more she walked. Soon, she started running, each tree looking scarier. Then she saw a pair of red eyes looking at her. She sped up, looking behind to see if the eyes were still staring at her. Suddenly, she ran into something solid. She looked up to a pair of concerned green eyes. "Are you okay?" Came the voice she had just heard yesterday. She stared into Nathan's mesmerizing eyes, "I think so." She stuttered, shaking. She felt his warm, strong arms go around her. "Don't worry, you're safe now." She rested her head on his chest. "I love you." She whispered.

Marissa shot up in her bed and hit her head on the top bunk. "Ow!" Rubbing her head, she got out of bed and wondered about the crazy dream she just had. Did that mean she liked Nathan? Sure he was cute and had an amazing body, but she didn't know anything about him. After all the drama with Ryan, Marissa wasn't sure if she was ready for another relationship so soon. She shook her head, it was too early to worry, she'd think about her love life another time. Now, she set to picking an outfit for the first day of camp.

Haley stretched and got out of bed. She noticed someone was already up and cleared her throat. "Good morning." She smiled warmly.

"Good morning." Marissa returned. "Haley right?"

Haley nodded. "That's me."

Marissa looked uncertain, "I know this probably is out of the blue, but since Summer's dead over there, I need some love advice."

"Not exactly my area of expertise, but I'll give it a shot." Haley agreed.

"Thanks." Marissa nodded. "Okay, well I met this guy yesterday. He seemed to like me and I think I like him too, but I don't know if I should make a move or wait for him to or just forget about it."

Haley looked thoughtful, "Well if you like him, I don't think you should just forget about it and give up."

"Well, I've just had my share of relationship troubles, and I'm not sure if I'm ready to go through everything again."

Haley looked sympathetic, "That's a tough one. If you want my advice, I'd go for him. After all, you never know until you try. He could be the one for you. Take it slow, but definitely take it."

Marissa looked thoughtful. "That's really good advice. You should start charging."

Haley laughed. "I'm glad I could help." She looked uncomfortable. "If you don't mind me asking, I've also got a guy dilemma."

Marissa grinned, "Totally my area of expertise, shoot."

"Okay." Haley smiled. "Well, I just found out my ex-boyfriend is at this camp. We've been over for a while, but I think I'm ready to give us a second shot. What do you think I should do? I mean is that smart, or should I leave it alone?"

"Tell me about him. Is he the kind of guy that's open to second chances?"

"I'm not really sure." Haley admitted. "He's…" She trailed off, unsure of what to say.

"It's okay." Marissa assured. "If you miss him, you should try to work things out. Unless he's a jerk, then he doesn't deserve you." She added as an afterthought.

Haley laughed. "Thanks."

"No prob." Marissa smiled. She stood up and grabbed a bag. "Well, I think I'm gonna go brush my teeth now."

"Okay. See ya at breakfast." Haley waved.

Marissa walked out the door and headed towards the bathrooms. It was a bright and sunny morning. Marissa decided since it was such a nice morning, that she would take a longer way to the bathroom and followed adifferent trail. As she walked, she admired the scenery. There wasn't any wildlife anywhere close to where she lived. She watched a squirrel scamper up a tree and walked straight into someone else.

"Oof."

Marissa froze when she heard that voice. Slowly, she looked up into Nathan's eyes. Remembering her dream the night before she blushed. "Sorry." She started. "Did I hurt you?"

"Nah. I'm fine." He assured her. "What about you? Are you okay?"

She snorted. "My pride's a little hurt. Other than that, I'm good."

He grinned. "So are you ready for breakfast yet? I'll walk you there."

"Um, actually I'm not ready." She gestured toward her boxer shorts and tank top. "Kinda still not dressed."

"Oh. Well then, I guess I'll see you there." He shrugged and started walking away.

"Wait!" Marissa called.

He turned around. "Yeah?"

"Save me a seat?" She asked hopefully.

His eyes lit up. "Definitely."

She grinned and turned to walk away. "See you there." She whispered.

As Nathan watched Marissa's retreating back, he hid his grin. He was glad he had chosen that exact time to leave the cabin. Tim was pestering him for tips on getting Summer and there was only so much Nathan could take. He strolled over to the cafeteria, remembering Marissa in her short shorts and cute top. He finally grinned when he pushed open the doors. This summer wasn't turning out to be so bad. Of course he would never let Brooke know that.

Haley set out soon after Marissa had left. She was thinking about how her summer was turning out. Accidentally, she took the wrong turn in the trail and wound up walking along an unfamiliar path. She was relieved, when she saw someone walking ahead of her. She caught up and tapped him on the shoulder. "Excuse me. I think I'm lost. Do you know which way the cafeteria is?"

The guy turned around. "Sure. I'm going there myself. Wanna come with me?"

She nodded. "That would be great."

They walked alongside each other. "I'm Haley, by the way." She began.

"Seth." He replied.

They talked along the rest of the way there and before Haley knew it, they had gone through the doors of the cafeteria.

Brooke was talking to Summer. They had both waken up after all the other girls left and were getting ready together. "How's this look?" Brooke held up a sequined tank top.

"That's cute." Summer observed. "But too flashy."

Brooke looked at it again and tossed it aside. "Okay. What about this?" She lifted a brown colored ribbed tank top with a pink ribbon bow on the side.

"Now that's hot." Summer grinned. "Wear it." She instructed.

Brooke pulled the shirt over her head. "What are you gonna wear?" She asked Summer.

"This." Summer triumphantly held up a hot pink silk top with black lace lining.

"Wow." Brooke said, impressed.

"Thanks. I'm hoping I can meet some new guys with it." Summer explained.

"New guys…or guy?" Brooke teased.

"Ugh. Definitely new guys." Summer groaned. "I've had enough of 'one' guy."

Brooke smiled sympathetically. "Well, let's go snag some hotties." She and Summer grinned at each other and walked out of the cabin.
