The cafeteria was packed with campers. Brooke and Summer said a quick goodbye and split up to get breakfast.
Summer grinned with satisfaction as she saw some guys staring at her as she walked through the aisles. She quickly scanned the crowd for Lucas. She saw him looking apprehensively at the breakfast options. Tossing her hair back, Summer confidently strolled over to where he was standing.
"Hey there." She purred.
Lucas turned around and smiled. "Hey Summer."
She returned the grin and looked at the various breakfasts. "Eww…who actually eats this stuff?" She gestured to the oatmeal and wrinkled her nose. "I mean it looks like something a dog threw up."
Lucas laughed. "You know, I was actually trying to convince myself to eat some, but now I don't think that's gonna happen."
Summer frowned, "Well good thing I came then, I bet that stuff has e-coli or some other weird disease in it."
Lucas grinned and after much debate and consideration, he and Summer grabbed some breakfast and sat down together to eat.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tim strolled around the path. He headed towards the girls' cabins, planning to "accidentally" bump into Summer. He circled the cabin five times waiting impatiently for her to come out.
After a couple of minutes, he saw the door swing open.
"Finally." He muttered under his breath, going over what he was going to say to Summer.
However, it wasn't Summer who stepped out, but a tall blond girl who Tim vaguely remembered sitting at Summer's table. He started to back up behind a tree, but was stopped by her.
"Hey!" She shouted and walked over to where Tim was trying to hide. "Are you okay? Did you get lost or something? Cause I swear I saw you go about 50 circles around my cabin."
"Oh uh…no I'm not lost…" Tim trailed off, trying desperately to think of a good excuse as to why he was stalking the cabin. "I just…uh…lost my sunglasses here yesterday."
She raised her eyebrows. "Here? Where the girls' cabins are?"
"Well…see, actually I like this girl I saw yesterday and I was trying to catch her before she went to breakfast." Tim blushed.
"Aww how cute!" Anna grinned. "Well Prince Charming, all the girls have already left for breakfast. So, I'd start heading over there if you wanna see her."
"Oh." was Tim's answer. "Well, can I walk you to breakfast then?"
Anna looked thoughtful. "Sure, why not." She shrugged and took the arm Tim offered.
Tim steered her around, proud of himself. I'm not so bad with the ladies he thought as he led Anna to the cafeteria. "By the way, I'm Tim."
"Anna Stern." She answered.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brooke scanned the crowd and spotted who she was looking for. "Hey Luke." She smiled confidently to him.
"Brooke." He flashed a grin back, "Have fun canoeing yesterday?"
She snorted, "Yeah right." Then, seized with a sudden idea she caught his eyes. "Come to the lake at midnight. We can have some real fun there."
His eyes sparkled, "It's a date then."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone quieted down as Mrs. Jones cleared her throat. "I'm sure that all of you had fun yesterday at the lake." She said in a voice that clearly showed she couldn't care less if they enjoyed themselves or not. "We'll be doing something more of you are familiar with today: basketball and volleyball."
Tim mouthed 'Yes!' to Nathan, who also grinned.
"Now boys, follow your counselors to the courts and ladies, follow me." Mrs. Jones continued. "We'll switch activities after lunch."
Brooke caught up with Summer in the crowd. "Guess who I have a date with tonight?"
Summer raised an eyebrow, "As long as it's not…"
"Luke!" Brooke burst out, unable to contain her excitement.
Summer groaned, "…Luke." She trailed off. "He's really not good news, Brooke." Looking stern, she continued, "No way am I leaving you alone with that jerk, me and the rest of the girls are coming too."
Brooke raised an eyebrow.
"I'm sure the guys will come too." Summer rolled her eyes.
Brooke frowned, but shrugged. After all, she and Luke could always sneak off whenever they wanted.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The game was getting heated at the boys' courts. They were playing three on three. Tim, Nathan and Lucas were playing another team, which happened to contain Luke.
Luke got passed the ball and elbowed Nathan, who fell down, grabbing his side.
"Hey, Hey!" Lucas yelled, as Tim pulled Nathan up. "What's wrong with you?"
Luke shrugged, "Accident."
Lucas glared at him and turned to Nathan, "You okay?"
Nathan winced slightly and nodded, "Fine, it's just a bruise."
Lucas nodded, "We'll let's beat this pretty boy then." He said so only Nathan and Tim could hear.
And they did.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Summer quickly spread the news to the guys over lunch and they spent their volleyball time planning how to sneak out.
Dinner came and went and the girls began to get ready for the night ahead. Giggling, they picked out new outfits and changed. Then, silently, Brooke creaked open their door and the girls followed her to the lake.
Meanwhile, the guys were having a little more trouble getting out of the cabin. Their counselor was walking around the cabin every few minutes, staring at the door.
Seth frowned in thought, "What we need is a diversion, something to lead him away for a few minutes."
"And how do we do that?" Nathan frowned.
There was a moment of silence where everyone contemplated ways of escape.
"Boys, I think we're in luck." Seth's face lit up. "I have an idea."
