"That was such a long drive." Megan complained.
"You were asleep on my shoulder for almost the entire ride." Don pointed out.
"So?" Megan said. "It still felt like ages."
Terry laughed at her friend. "You totally missed it."
"Missed what?" Megan asked.
"Court asked where we were going and I'm like upstate and she goes where upstate and Don's like we're going to East Virginia and Court goes you can't drive to the moon." Terry laughed.
"Are we seriously back at this East Virginia thing?" Megan turned to her blonde friend.
"Uhh yeah." Courtney said in a 'no duhhh' tone.
"You've been here before?" Charlie asked. He and Amita had rode to the campsite with Don, Megan, Courtney, and Terry.
"Who do you think told her East Virginia was on the moon?" Megan said.
"Nice." Terry high- fived Megan. "Now where are Colby and David?"
"Why?" Megan asked.
"Well, you have someone to carry your bags. I don't and would love to have one."
"Who's carrying my bags?"
"Don."
"Hey hey hey hold up. Why?" Don interrupted/
"You're supposed to be her boyfriend, remember. A good boyfriend would carry his girlfriend's bags." Terry said.
"You guys aren't actually dating?" Amita said.
Megan, Don, and Terry froze. All three of them had forgotten about Charlie listening to their plans.
"Chuck." Don thwacked the back of his brother's head. "You told her."
"No." Charlie protested. "And don't call me Chuck."
"He didn't tell me anything." Amita said. "I figured it out right now."
"Oh." Don said. "Sorry Chuck."
"It's all right." Charlie said.
Megan grinned and handed Don her bags. "Excellent. I don't have to carry my own stuff."
Unpacking took a little longer than expected. The liquor had to be hidden in a place that no one would find it. Then, the three girls decided to swim to the platform in the middle of the lake to tan.
So, bathing suits had to be found. And once they were, they were traded between people.
Megan's turquoise blue bathing suit went to Courtney. Courtney gave her olive green halter bikini to Megan. Terry picked out Courtney's black set and they were finally set.
"Did you notice that no one is wearing their actual clothes?" Megan asked, once the three were lying on the wooden platform in the middle of the lake. Around them, many of their classmates were on boats, canoes, and kayaks. A couple of students, and Megan suspected that Don was on of them, were in the process of convincing the supervision to water-ski.
"Yeah, well, what are best friends for?" Courtney asked.
"Does anyone want to hear my plan for the night?" Terry asked, pulling her large square sunglasses off of her forehead and placing them over her eyes.
Megan blinked behind her Aviator sunglasses. She had almost forgotten that the plan was still in motion.
"Let's hear it." Courtney said.
"All right." Terry began. "Megan is…"
The plan was set. Even Don didn't know about it. It was supposed to be a surprise.
But the plan required Megan to look absolutely flawless. Which is why she was allowing Courtney to run back and forth between the bags of each girl and Terry to sit in front of her and apply her make up.
"All you need to do tonight is look good together. You know, flirt a little, tease each other, but remember, he doesn't know, so you have to make him want to do all these things. Banter back and forth. Look and act like you're dating." Terry reminded her friend.
"I understand." Megan nodded.
"Don't move." Terry scolded.
"Sorry."
"Knock knock." Amita's voice came from outside.
"Come in." Terry called. "Hey there."
"Amita!" Courtney exclaimed. "You can help me pick which to wear."
"Ok." Amita nodded. "What do you have?"
"Ok." Courtney held up a short white sundress. "We have this. Now, a pair of dark jeans goes under because a, it's really short, and b, it's cold out." She placed the dress down and picked up a long sleeved, black-cropped jacket. "Or we have this option."
Megan snorted. "As much as the guys would love for me to just wear that, I'm gonna have to say it needs a little bit more to it.
Courtney's eyes narrowed. "Haha. No, seriously." She pointed to the bed where a pair of dark jeans were sitting. Rips were strategically placed all over them. Next to it was an olive green cami that would bring out the color in her eyes.
"That's it." Amita said. "The perfect outfit."
The bon fire was their last activity. The next morning everyone was going home. Most planned to sleep the entire weekend.
But first came the bonfire. Arriving late, as they usually were, was Megan, Terry, and Courtney.
"It's a good thing you didn't wear the white option." Terry said.
Since there was a large amount of kids, there were a couple different fire pits. The baseball team was all at one pit along with a couple friends, girlfriend of the players, and Charlie and Amita.
Terry pushed Megan toward Don.
"Hey." She said. He was talking to the shortstop, Josh Isaacsohn, and the first baseman, Tommy Sinclair. Don himself played second.
"Hey Megan." Josh said. The two had sat next to each other for a trimester in one of their social studies classes.
"You look…wow." Don looked speechless. Megan smiled. She knew that this outfit was the perfect outfit. The jeans were form fitting. The jacket drew attention to the shirt, which wasn't too low cut, but was low enough to show off a little. She stopped in her thoughts. Since when did she get all dolled up for… Don?
"Thanks." She smiled.
"Hello." A blonde haired girl who Megan knew was dating Josh came over and joined the group.
"Marley." Don said in greeting. Josh kissed Marley's cheek lightly.
"Hey Megan." Marley turned. "How are you?"
"I'm good." Megan answered truthfully. "And you?"
"Pretty good." Marley said. "So I guess it is true." She said, gesturing to Megan and Don.
Megan shot the girl a look. "I'm not pregnant. With Don or Colby's child. Or any child."
Marley laughed. "I didn't mean that. I meant about the two of you dating."
"Well, that part's true." Megan said and then laughed as Don lightly pinched her stomach. She guessed it was his way of letting her know that he still remembered the plan.
"Well, it's nice seeing you guys, but we should probably get going." Don said.
"Nice seeing you guys." Tommy said.
Megan and Don smiled and walked over toward Terry, David, Colby, Courtney, Charlie, and Amita. Don's arm was wrapped tightly around her shoulders and her arms were secured around his waist.
"You two look cozy." David remarked, many hour later, as all the fires were dying down.
Don looked to his right. Next to him was Megan. She was wearing his leather jacket again. Her head was resting on him and her body was pulled close to his. Lightly, he kissed the top of her head before nodding at David.
"Yeah." He said distantly. He hadn't realized when he and Megan had gotten so close. In the same voice, he continued. "Cozy."
