I woke to the loud clanging of the wake-up bell. Ahhh, smell that fresh air. It had a friendly, piney scent to it. I would really miss that when we left. I grabbed my toiletries and headed to the bathroom. After a short shower I blow dried my hair and was just putting it in a ponytail when I hear a loud banging sound.
"Hey! Sleeping beauty! We all know you really need that time in there, but SOME people need to shower or they won't be a happy camper!" I grinned. Robin could get very cranky in the morning.
"I'm getting out, don't worry!" I called back. I quickly picked up my stuff and opened the door to a very sleepy Robin. I couldn't help but giggle at the giant blob of frizz that was her hair every morning, complete with her frog slippers and PJs. Grunting; she walked in the bathroom and shut the door. Alice, of course, was already fully dressed in her designer clothes. How she managed to not get them dirty was a mystery to me. After all, Emmett was out there. After Robin was done we all trooped to the mess hall as the annoying bell clanged again, and right on cue the mob of campers swarmed into the hall. My heart leapt as I saw my Edward come through the crowd and kiss me. Breakfast was pancakes with syrup, but nobody was really eating it. I don't blame them, they were stone cold and the syrup had already expired. I was just digging in to my granola with yogurt when I heard a tap tap tap on the roof. I looked out the window to see the rain. Hopefully it wouldn't rain any harder, I thought as we all chatted and Edward glared at Mike from across the mess hall. But it didn't. When we were done it was pouring, and the wind was battering against the trees, making them sway at alarming angles.
"Attention! Attention!" yelled the tiny director from the top of the hall. "Due to the weather report from the station, all activities for today will be cancelled." There was much groaning and a few boos. " Now, you can either brave the storm back to your cabins or meet in the lodge for rain games. Thank you." I turned to look at Alice and Robin.
"No way am I getting this outfit wet, we're going to the games," said Alice. So of course we all went to the lodge.

I followed my Bella and everyone else to the lodge, but my mind was far away, and zeroed in on that fiend, Mike Newton. He hadn't stopped thinking about Bella since he got here! His thoughts should be ILLEGAL!
Man, Bella looks so hot today. I don't know what she sees in Cullen, he has a horrible hairdo. Mine is way better. Did she get new lip-gloss…?
Why does he have such dirty thoughts? This is torture! They went form her lip gloss to her other "feminine" attributes, also other unpleasant fantasies about him chasing me away then riding off with Bella into the sunset. He needs an imagination that's not contaminated with hormones and hair gel. I mean mine is so better, what is he talking about?
The lodge was a charming building with a huge fireplace dominating most of the north wall. There were cozy-looking couches with pillows on either side of the lodge, and the walls were decorated with photographs from previous camp years.
"Ok now the first game we will play is called Blind Tag. One person will be "It" and everyone else will be in here. The "it" person will go outside and count to 60, while we turn off the lights and everybody hides, so it will be like the person is actually blind. Get it everyone?" a counselor yelled over the hubbub. Everyone nodded. "Good, now I'll need one volunteer, how about you?" she said, dragging a nervous-looking Mike Newton from the crowd. While he counted everyone scrambled around hiding before the lights went out. Laughing, Bella dragged me into a nook with a bookcase. Right before the lights went out I saw Emmett cover himself with pillows, what a nut. In the dark there was much giggling and whispering, as Mike groaned when he saw how impossible it was. Bella and me were pressed together in the little space, obviously meant for one. Her warm body felt nice pressed against me.
Ok, I can do this, I can do this. Just walk around until you step on someone…Great, Mike was giving himself a pep talk in his head. I'm surprised his mom hasn't called the men in white coats yet…
Bella was distracting me; her strawberry shampoo was wafting toward me. She looked so cute, with a strand of hair dangling in front of her nose…
"You know, we might be here awhile, and this could get very boring…" Bella whispered when the moron stumbled past us. Smiling I leaned down to kiss her. It was a sweet, and she smiled, and deepened the kiss. I didn't stop it, we had gotten farther than this before.
Hey! There's someone here, right behind this bookcase. I just need to shift it a bit…Oh Crap.
I quickly whipped my head up, but I was too late. The lights flipped on, and everyone saw me and Bella there, in the tiniest nook in the world, pressed against each other, our heads just a little too close.
Double Crap.
I heard Bella's heart rate go into overdrive and slowly she blushed until she was tomato-red. Mike just stood there like an idiot, staring at us, his jaw on the ground.
That's BELLA?!? With EDWARD?!? Were they just making out? Oh great so now he's taken to dragging her into miniscule corners and kissing her? Man that's an all time low… You see, if she were with me I would take her somewhere we wouldn't get caught…
He will die. I will kill him slowly, watch him die, burn him and dance on his grave. I don't care about me, but Bella would be so upset about this… Quick come up with a comeback, something, anything! Then of course Emmett wolf-whistled at us, and everyone burst out laughing and the game started again. He. Will. Die. He's dead, and this time I won't hold back. No more Mr. Nice Guy. Time to fight fire with fire.

The rain had stopped, at last, but the sky was still a murky gray so activities were still cancelled. Deciding to take advantage of the temporary lapse of rain we sent outside for another game. Bella was still embarrassed by the Blind tag incident, so we all walked in a big group down to the field.
"The next game we will play is called Ambush" the counselor yelled to the crowd holding up a black duffel bag, " we will split into two teams, A and B. Team A will leave into the woods, leaving clues like footprints and pieces of paper to the ambush site. Then group B will follow the clues and search for the ambush site. When they come into range, group A can shoot them with these water guns. If you are shot, you have to "die" as in just lay on the ground, and whoever has the last man standing wins. I have camouflage and water guns in here." Group A was Bella, Emmett, Jasper, Alice, five others, and I. Group B was Mike Newton, and nine others. Rosalie decided to sit this one out. We all threw on camouflage shirts and pants over our clothes and grabbed a water gun. Mine was the macho, big boss kind with 3 nozzles and two water tanks, the same one as Emmett. Bella had a normal-sized one with just one nozzle. We left into the woods, leaving ominous footprints, Indian arrows and scratches until we came to a small clearing.
"Ok guys, Me, Emmett, and Bella will go into the trees, the rest of you spread out for cover in a circle around the clearing. As soon as they get into the clearing open fire after I yell, ok?" grinning madly they all did what I told them. Grinning the three of us stood in different trees (mine of course was close to Bella). I got my foot on a branch and leaned against the trunk, listening for the enemy. It was like some twisted teenage version of Vietnam. I heard them coming slowly down the hill. Mike was in front carefully sliding into the clearing. He glanced around warily. Time Operation Payback.
"OPEN FIRE!" I yelled. It was instant chaos. I stood up and blasted Newton in the face, right when Bella and Emmett did. Yelling madly he tripped over a rock and face planted as we soaked his back. Emmett was cackling madly spraying the entire clearing, Jasper was sending out waves of aggression, making things worse. People didn't seem to want to "die". They just continued squirting each other. The clearing was a mass of bodies, wrestling, spraying and shouting.
"Focus on their guns! Shoot them out of their hands!" I yelled. Blasting a guy's gun from his hand, which flipped over and hit a girl in the head.
"AHHHHH!" Oh no. Emmett, head to foot in camouflage, with black paint smeared on his face, swung through on a long and apparently bendy branch. He also had somehow acquired another heavy-duty gun. He zoomed around the clearing whooping like a madman spraying Newton on all sides. Bella was laughing in the tree next to me as blasted a kid right in the back, making him fall over. Then a whistle sounded. Uh-oh, looks like the counselors are here. Yelling they broke up the fighting and marched all the kids back to camp. Emmett landed neatly in a tree and I grabbed Bella and we all ran to the mess hall for dinner.
(A/N) What did you think? Was it cheesy? I'm not sure. If you think it's bad let me know, if you think it's awesome let me know! I really don't know what to think, so tell me! I promise I'll make the next chapters better. R&R please! Nothing in this chapter actually happened to me in camp, but I wish we had played Ambush =P.
