I woke up to the sun shining on my face. I sat up in bed, and, upon looking around, I saw that Liz was almost falling out of her bed, while Thalia was on the floor, snoring away. I stifled my laughter and slipped out of bed, heading over to my suitcase and grabbing some clothes.

I checked my watch, which was on the nightstand between me and Liz' beds, and I was surprised to see that it was only 6:30. I only needed to be awake in half an hour, and I could see some of the kids had sneaked out of their cabins and were walking around. Technically we weren't supposed to be out of our cabins until 7, but if we were up earlier there were a few bored kids who'd get together and talk. Or, they'd do some other stuff.

Right now it looked like a few kids were hanging out in the woods outside of the girl's bathroom. I grabbed my clothes, toiletries, and slipped into some sandals. Then I headed out the door quietly.

After I finished what I needed to do in the bathroom I went back to the cabin and put my stuff back, confident that no one would trash anything this morning. I went back outside and headed over to the group in the woods.

I saw Tina was there, minus Hailey, and Mike and Davy were there.

"Hey, y'all," I said, walking over to them, "What's going on?"

Tina looked at me. "Well, those three kids with the mowhawks are talking about the latest drug, those two girls are talking about Davy, and we're just standing here talking about nothing in particular."

"Oh." I looked at the boys with mowhawks and raised a brow. They look like they're on something already, I thought in disgust.

"Have you noticed how Hailey's been acting lately? It's positively weird," Tina asked me.

"You mean the flirting with Mi—I mean guys... And the whole 'I need to talk to Thalia right away!' thing? Yeah," I answered. She bit her lip.

"Right after that night when we all went to the beach, she changed a little," Tina said. I raised a brow, and so did Mike and Davy.

"'Ow'd she change?" Davy asked.

"She... She wouldn't shut up about this one guy, and then she said she thought the guy was into Eliza, so she started freaking out and saying that she'd need help getting the guy to like her, and... It was completely un-Hailey like!" Tina exclaimed. "I've known her since 7th grade, and let me tell you... She's never, ever gone crazy over a guy like this. It's not like her at all."

I didn't really see the problem. "So, she flips over one guy, what's the biggie?"

Tina stared at me, green eyes wide. "You don't get it! I talked to the guy, and he really does like Eliza! And a guy has never turned down Hailey."

I bit my lip. I knew who Hailey liked (it was completely obvious that she and Liz liked the same guy,) and from Tina's strained voice and look, I could tell she was serious.

"Well, why don't we get Hailey interested in another guy? There are plenty of them around. Heck, why don't we get her interested in Mike?" I suggested, grinning at Mike.

Mike rolled his eyes. "I have a girlfriend."

I raised a brow. "Oh? Who's that?"

"Her name's Layla. She looks a lot like you, except her hair is a little longer." Mike got a faraway look in his eyes. "I've been trying to write a song for her."

That must be why Peter thought Mike liked me, I thought, Mike said that this Layla girl looks like me. Peter must've thought Mike was singing about me!

"Hey, um, guys..."

I turned to see Melanie walking up to us. She wasn't wearing her usually purple eye shadow or dark lipstick. She actually looked prettier than when she had the make up on.

"Mellie!" Davy hugged his sister and she smiled.

"Stop! There are people watching!" She giggled a little.

I smiled. She definitely wasn't the same Melanie as yesterday. She'd changed for the better.

"Oh my gosh, you like Micky? How could you!"

My eyes widened as I slowly turned towards the voice of Hailey Kinly. She was screaming at a really mad-looking Liz. I frowned.

"You knew I liked him, and then you have to go and move in on him like that? HOW COULD YOU?" Hailey screamed. Liz looked like it was taking all of her self-control not to punch Hailey right then and there.

I stomped over and stood between Hailey and Liz. "What in the world are you talking about, Hailey?"

Hailey stared at me with angry blue eyes. "It's none of your business, Irina! So butt the heck out!"

By now everyone was staring at us. Melanie had this weird look on her face, Mike looked like he wanted to tell Hailey off, Davy looked angry, and Tina... I couldn't decipher Tina's face. It was like confusion, anger, and surprise all mixed into one.

Liz put a hand on my shoulder and gently pushed me out of the way.

"This is my fight, Rina. Let me fight it by myself," she said quietly. I just stood there.

She narrowed her deep blue eyes at Hailey and said, "Look, Hailey. I didn't have the slightest clue that you liked Micky. No one did."

Hailey looked like she was about to explode. "Well, you—"

Liz didn't let her finish. "Why can't you face the facts? Micky likes me and not you!"

There was silence. Dead silence. I never thought Liz would say that... Had she really figured that out by herself? I glanced over at Melanie, who had a small smirk playing along her lips. Nope, I thought, Melanie knew it all along. She must've told Liz.

"Well, y-you're wrong! Micky likes me! I know it!" Hailey argued. I noticed something on my left and said, "Oh yeah? Let's ask him right now."

Hailey's eyes went wide as I walked over to Micky.

"Hey, what's the fuss?" he asked me. I whispered something to him and he turned red.

"So will you?" I asked. He thought for a moment, then nodded.

Liz looked from me to Micky and back. She was a little confused at why I was grinning like the Cheshire Cat.

"So, uh, Micky..." Hailey started, but Micky walked right by her and over to Liz. He put his hands on Liz' shoulders and then bent down.

He kissed her.

I looked at Hailey and started laughing. I couldn't help it. The look on her face was priceless! It was obvious she hated the fact that she was proven wrong and that Micky didn't like her.

I looked at Melanie, who was smiling, along with Mike and Davy. The rest of the people, including Tina, just stood there, open-mouthed.

I smirked. Well, I thought, At least Liz got her guy.
