Chapter 3- What's Going On?
Day 57- Morning
- - - - - - - Nathan's Video Diary - - - - - - -
"Wow, yesterday was…" Nathan searched for the right word. "…amazing!" He smiled as he thought back to what had happened the previous day. "It was the best day of my life. It started when Daley and I were just out looking for firewood, and next thing I knew, we were kissing, and… now we're together," he finished, still smiling. "I still can't believe it! I've been going crazy over my feelings for Daley ever since we crashed, and now, to hear from her that she loves me back, it's just… it's the best feeling in the world." He sighed happily. "Now we can actually relax and… wait, we can't relax!" he realized. "No one knows about this, and with Jackson's 'no couples rule,' if anyone found out…" he shuddered. " It wouldn't be good."

Everyone was sitting around camp after breakfast. Well, everyone but Nathan and Daley, who were nowhere to be found. Lex was struggling with the shelter blueprints again, Melissa was doing laundry, and Taylor and Eric were in the tent. Jackson watched the scene thoughtfully, listening to music on the group's MP3 player.
Everything was peaceful, until…
"I don't see why you just won't grow up!"
"ME?! You're the one that's flipping out!"
Jackson, Melissa and Lex exchanged glances as Taylor and Eric emerged from the tent, shouting at each other.
"At least I have a good reason!" Taylor yelled at Eric.
"What reason?!" Eric demanded.
"What are you talking about, you know perfectly well what reason!"
"No, I don't think I do!"
"You're such an idiot, Eric!"
"Oh, am I? I wouldn't be talking, miss-"
"STOP!" Jackson screamed, pushing the two of them apart. "What is up with you two?!"
"Eric's being an idiot, that's what!" Taylor screamed, trying to get at Eric, but Jackson pushed her backwards.
"And you're not?" Eric retorted.
"Just- stop!" Jackson said, calming down a little. "You're driving us all crazy with your constant arguing! Can't you two just forgive and forget?"
Eric and Taylor stood with their arms crossed, throwing each other dirty looks, just as Nathan and Daley walked in.
"Hey guys," Nathan said. He stopped as he looked around, seeing Taylor and Eric standing there, arms crossed, not looking at each other, with Jackson standing between them, looking from one to the other. "What's going on?" he asked, frowning slightly.
There was a pause, then Taylor said, "Nothing," and she walked away, still not looking at Eric.
Eric left as well, going down to the beach and away from Taylor. Daley and Nathan exchanged confused looks.
"What was that all about?" Daley asked, looking around at Jackson, Melissa and Lex.
"No clue," Jackson said. Then his eyes wandered from Daley to Nathan, and he asked, "Where have you two been?"
"Uh…" Nathan stuttered. "Just… out picking fruit." He and Daley glanced at each other.
"Okay," Mel said. "So where is it?"
"Oh!" Daley cried. "We left it under that tree! C'mon, Nathan," and she grabbed Nathan's arm and they ran off.
The others exchanged looks. Lex frowned as he thought about what was going on…

"Daley and Nathan have been acting really weird lately. They're always running off someplace or other and they're acting secretive. And they've been… well…. flirting! It's really weird! I know they're up to something…"

"Yesterday was great!" She sighed. "Nathan and I… we're…" She looks around to make sure no one is near. "…together!" she says exitedly. "I'm so happy, but it'll be tough keeping it a secret. The others are already suspicious, and I'm not sure how long we can keep this up. But for Nathan, I'll do anything."

Taylor sat reading a magazine at camp, watching everyone go about their chores.
'I am so bored,' she thought.
Eric walked by, carrying two jugs full of water.
'Wow, Eric actually looks kinda cute today,' Taylor observed to herself. 'I wonder if he thinks I'm cute… maybe he even thinks I'm sexy!' Taylor thought, smiling. 'Who wouldn't? After all, I am me!'
She watched Daley as she walked into the jungle.
'Nathan and Daley have been acting weird lately,' Taylor thought. 'I wonder what's going on between them? They've been flirting a lot…'
Nathan walked up to Taylor to see very strange expressions on her face. She was smiling and nodding, a thoughtful look on her face. Nathan frowned. "Hey, Taylor."
"I wonder if Nathan thinks Daley's sexy?" Taylor thought, or at least she meant to.
"WHAT?!" Nathan exclaimed, his eyes widening.
"Did I say that outloud?" asked Taylor, a panicked look on her face.
"Uh, yeah, you did," Nathan said, his heart beating wildly.
"Oh…" said Taylor, looking embarrassed. "…well…" she suddenly said, a smile creeping onto her face. "…do you think Daley's sexy?"
"Uh…" Nathan began. "I- I- I gotta go…" he stuttered out as he began to back away. "Uh… gotta take care of… something… bye!" and he ran away.
Taylor smirked again. 'Now, what does that tell ya?' she thought.
