*It gets a little mushy in this one, but don't worry, it'll get normal again soon*

We were up pretty high in the mountains and it was beautiful, and so green! I wore my hair in pony tail with a go green cap on head and some cute camouflage pants and tank top. I walked with jenny, water bottle in hand. She and I were at the front of the group, she and I had both agreed that we were leaders, not followers, and we weren't gonna let some stingy twenty-something camp counselors lead us. She and I were laughing about how chad and oliver were completely at the back of the group because they thought this tiny little hiking excursion was so 'strenuous!' Yeah right! Nick was more in the middle of the group, talking to some girls who were practically throwing themselves at him, laughing at his every word, complimenting him on how toned he was. Ugh, it made me sick to stomach to hear it! Just to get away from those stupid little sluts I started running ahead of the group, well not quite running, but I definitely picked up the pace. Jenny wasn't expecting that I'd start walking away so quickly so she had to run to catch up to me. "Why the rush?" She asked panting a little. I looked back with digust at nick and those two girls who were thankfully now far behind. "Just…" Should I tell Jenny about my little crush on him? And about last night? Oh, what the hell, she's my friend. "I wanted to get away from the sounds of two sluts laughter." She looked back at them now that I was looking forwards. "Who?" She asked. "Those two girls hitting on nick." I said with clear disgust in my tone. She laughed a little. "You jealous?" She asked. "Psh! No way! I mean why on earth would I be jeal-" "Miley." She said completely seeing right through my crap. "Okay, okay. I REALLY like him and I'm REALLY jealous." I admitted. "Awwww, that's so cute!" She said and I rolled my eyes. "He kissed me last night." I commented in a whisper so no one else would hear. "WHA-!" she practically yelled. "SHHHHH!" I said taking a quick glance behind us to make sure no one was paying attention to us. "Jen, maybe we should move to the back so we can be sure no one's listening to us." "No! Then oliver and chad will listen!" I pouted. "You're right. Okay, just keep your voice down." I told her. "So he kissed you?!" She asked in a whisper. "Yup." I answered smiling. "When?" She asked excitedly. "Really late last night, I went for a swim cause I couldn't sleep and he followed me. We were swimming together, and then when we got to the shore, he told me he likes me and kissed me!" I said momentarily forgetting to keep my voice down. "Aw!" Jenny said again. "But he hasn't talked to me all day, and now he's flirting with other girls. I'm kinda confused." I explained. "Well mayb—" before she could say something back to me we were both silenced by what we saw before us. It was a huge waterfall! We stopped dead in our tracks admiring it. Everyone else started passing us, all of them also in awe of the giant waterfall (which emptied into a big clear lake.). "Woah." Jenny said. The other kids were still passing us, getting closer to it, and taking off their clothes to go swimming in it. I didn't notice nick getting closer to me until I heard him talk… to me. "We going swimming in this one too?" He teased. I turned around quickly to see him smirking at me and without a word he took off his shirt and dived in to the lake which now held practically our entire camp. Jen and I were the only ones who hadn't gone in, but she was already undressing beside me. I glanced at her. "You're going in?" I asked. "Yeah, aren't you?" She replied tossing aside her flip flops. "Nah, I'll just put my feet in or something." I said. She shrugged. "Suit yourself." Then she cannon balled into the lake. I looked out in front of me and saw so much more forest to explore. How could I stop at just one waterfall when there was so much more to see? I would have to see it next time we camp up here.
About two weeks went by, and nick kept hanging out with those two girls. Jealousy burned in me more than I could describe. We hadn't gone back to the water fall, but I really wanted to see. Everyone was pretty absorbed in what we were doing that day; karaoke. They were showing off their awesome voices in the lunch hall, so I started walking sneakily away from all of them. I got outside, it was twilight. I walked towards the mountains and started heading for the waterfall. When I got there I looked ahead to the nearby forest. It was so pretty, and so different from the part I'd just gotten out of. Instead of being green, it was suddenly more of a purple shade. It was breathtaking and I got to have it all to myself. Thank god no one saw me leaving, it was so nice here; I almost never wanted to leave. I leaned back against a tree and closed my eyes, and sighed. "You are seriously the weirdest person I know." I heard a voice say. Oh c'mon. I opened my eyes. "Me? I'm not the one who follows a certain girl around wherever she goes." By now I was sitting on the ground, my back still against the tree. He smiled. "And which girl is that?" He asked teasingly. I stuck my tongue at him and crossed my arms. "Why do you always wonder off like this?" He asked sitting down next to me, the trunk of the tree was wide enough for both of us to sit against it. "I think the better question is why do you always follow me when I wonder off?" I told him while watching a bird fly overhead. He smiled again and reached for something in his pocket. He pulled it out finally. It was a crunched up bad of peanut m and m's. "Want some?" He asked and I giggled. "And knowing you I half expected it to be a condom." I teased. "That doesn't answer my question." He said. "Yes," I said as I grabbed an m and m from the bag and popped it in my mouth. "So I see you've made some new friends." I commented. "Who?" He asked, obviously confused. "Those two girls." I said with more revulsion. He laughed. "Jealous much? They're just friends." "Yeah, 'friends' that you're flirting with after you already kissed me!" I said with obvious displeasure. I mean, he WAS leading me on… and flirting with other girls? What the heck? My jealousy seemed to amuse him. I stood up and went to another tree, this time standing and leaning against it instead of sitting. He followed me, but I didn't notice at first, so when I saw him in front of me, with an arm on either side of me, leaning over me, I was shocked. My heart thudded in my chest. I must've looked like a little frightened kitten, frightened in a good way though. I think he and I were both waiting to see what he would do next. I was expecting him to kiss me again but instead he just leaned his forehead against mine. "This was sudden." I managed to say. He shut his eyes slowly, then he moved away from me. "Sorry." He said with his back towards me. I raised my eyebrows and widened my eyes. "No! No! I didn't mind!" I said quickly walking over to and in front of him, fearing I'd hurt his pride or something. He laughed a little. "You just make me feel really weird." He said. "In a good way or a bad way?" I asked. "Good way, I'm just not used to it. I don't know, I cant really describe it. It's like, I've had a LOT of girlfriends, and I always dump 'em in a couple weeks, like I don't really care if I hurt them, but I'd care if I hurt you." He said, his voice slowly dwindling down to a whisper. I practically melted from his words. He cared about me. He REALLY cared about me. At that point I would've probably just given myself to him for saying that, but I knew better. "N-Nick, that's so sweet." I stammered out. He barely smiled. "Thanks, but, I don't know, I feel like I just cant be like, normal, around you." He said struggling to find the right words. He was looking down at the ground. He couldn't be normal around me? "Who needs normalcy?" I whispered, then I let urge for him to hold me completely take over and I wrapped my arms around his neck. He put his arms around my waist almost involuntarily. He laughed a little. I pulled back a little to look at him. "So, even the worlds biggest player gets nervous?" I said a little teasingly. He smiled and let me go. "Yeah…" He said. "Why'd you let go?" I said as I pouted. "Cause I'd go too far." He answered. "Too far?" I asked and he grinned. "I have no problem taking advantage of girls I like. Imagine what I'd do to one I loved." He said looking me up and down. My eyes widened. "Love?" I asked. "Well, what else could it be?" He said but it was more of a statement than a question. "I don't know, but you haven't even known me that long." "I know! And that's why it's so weird! I feel like I love you but its way to early." That caught me off guard again. He said 'I love you.' Before he said anything else I went over to him and kissed him and he put his arms back around my waist. I pulled away. "Okay, we can try dating I guess." I said with a little smile. "So you're my girlfriend?" He asked with a grin. "I guess so." I answered before he kissed me again.
