Max's P.O.V.
I was right about the fact that it was funny to watch Ella trek up the muddy hill. She kept screeching and complaining that she was getting her favourite pair of ballet flats muddy.
"Didn't you think of not bringing them to an outdoor camp?" I asked, and got a dirty look in response. I just shook my head.
Julia and Alex were completely silent, Nudge was about to turn into a second Ella with all the complaining and Angel was smiling and happy, jumping from rock to rock as if it were a game.
We were only slightly farther than I had gotten on my own when I spotted the path turn to the right. We followed its ruthless path.
When we got to the end of the path we were greeted by a large bonfire with multiple logs circling it. Kids were every where, some with food, some in line at a single barbeque for hot dogs and burgers.
"Are they only serving meat?" Nudge asked, "Because I'm vegetarian."
"Maybe you could just have the buns or fill up on s'mores that I see some people digging into right now." I suggested.
Nudge smiled at the thought of extra s'mores. Who wouldn't?
Before I even took a step towards the food line, Julia and Alex already ran off to a small group of people at the far end of the clearing. Probably some more third years.
Once we had our food, we all found two empty logs and sat down. Nudge had managed to get only hot dog buns and was already biting into one.
I had just taken a bite of my own ketchup drenched hot dog when we were joined by four others. I looked over with the piece of hot dog still in my mouth to see Fang, Gazzy, a strawberry blond boy and a spiky brown haired boy.
"Hey," I said. Then finished chewing as the others said hi.
"So, who are your friends?" Nudge said.
"This is Iggy," Fang said pointing to the strawberry blond. "And this is Darren." Iggy and Darren waved.
I looked closer at Iggy. "Are you blind?" I asked him.
He froze briefly then nodded.
"Were you born that way?"
"As far as you know yes."
I flinched slightly at the harshness of his voice.
"What year are you Iggy?" Ella asked.
"Two," he said bitterly.
"Someone's in a bad mood," I muttered, taking a bite of my hot dog. Iggy's head snapped in my direction and glared for a moment before his gaze softened.
"Sorry, it's just that this camp rubs me the wrong way."
"Then why did you come back?" I asked.
"You come once; you're in it for life." He muttered.
I looked away and let the subject drop with a silent, "Okay."
"So, are you guys all in the same cabin?" Ella asked.
Gazzy nodded then turned to his sister. "Hey sis, we have someone who's your age in our cabin. He should be around here somewhere." Gazzy looked around. "I see him! C'mon." He grabbed his sister's hand and ran off.
When I returned my attention back to our group, both Nudge and Ella were gazing at Iggy who didn't notice a thing.
Well, this won't end well, I thought.
"Is it just me or do you feel very out of the group right now?" Darren said.
"It's not just you." I said.
"Hey, Iggy!" My head snapped around at the sound of Julia's voice, she was accompanied by Alex and two other girls.
"Julia," Iggy said, boredly with out so much of moving a muscle.
Julia didn't seem to like the greeting she got.
"Who are your friends?" Ella asked snapping out of her revive.
"Oh, this is Brigid and Lissa. They're also third years." I did a once over of the girls, both hand red hair but Brigid had brown eyes while Lissa had green. (If they're eye colours aren't right deal with it.)
"Twins?" I asked, looking them over again. They did seem too bad, but then again, Julia didn't seem too bad when I first saw her and she turned out to be a controlling maniac.
"Yep," they answered at the same time.
"Fun," I muttered. They didn't seem to hear me, they were too busy looking Fang up and down, and then smiled at the same time.
God that twin thin was going to get on my nerves.
I looked down at my now empty plate and my thoughts were over come by one word: S'mores.
"I'm going to go make some s'mores. Anyone want to join me?"
No one answered and I questioned whether I was heard when Fang stood up. "I will."
"Now I don't have to enjoy the gooeyness of s'mores alone." Then I smiled mischievously. "That may or may not be a good thing…for you."
Fang raised his eyebrows. "And why is that?"
"You'll find out." I sat down on a log that was next to the marshmallows and some sticks. I put one of the marshmallows on a stick.
Once it was cooked, I put the marshmallow between to pieces of gram cracker and took it apart again.
"Fang?"
He turned his head to face me and I put one cracker on each cheek.
Fang scowled. "Max," He threatened.
I stood up quickly, not giving him time to get me back and ran off.
Maybe camp wouldn't be so bad.
Okay, I'm not making Brigid and Lissa sluts or anything in this story because I believe they are innocent.
(So, who cares if Lissa kissed Fang-I have theory behind that- and Brigid talked to him and got a little clingy. That doesn't make 'em sluts.)
That doesn't mean they won't get interested in Fang though.
