The next morning I wake up refreshed and ready for the day. I take a shower, change into athletic clothes, put my hair into a ponytail, and apply minimal makeup. Since breakfast is at eight and I know that Christina will take a while to get ready, I grab my iPod and headphones and go out for a morning run around the lake.
When I get to the lake I stand amazed. The view is breathtaking. The sun is rising and the lake looks absolutely beautiful. I feel so blessed that I get to have that view the whole summer.
I start my walk along the edge of the lake. I take this time to organize my thoughts and just absorb into the nature.
After walking for half an hour, I decide to head back not wanting to go around the whole lake. As I turn around I hear someone running behind me. Before I can turn around a huge figure slams into me knocking me to the ground.
I look up and recognize it's Four again.
"Oh my gosh are you okay? I'm so sorry I wasn't looking," Four says without looking up.
"I'm fine". I reply
He looks up at the sound of my voice.
"Oh it's you." He grins, "You know we got to stop meeting like this". He says smirking.
I raise my eyebrows at him. What happened to the narcissistic guy I saw last night? It's like when he's not around his friends he's a totally different person.
"Well I prefer not meeting you at all," I say jokingly
"Is that so?" He says offering a hand to me.
I take his hand and get up shaking off the dirt from my clothes. When I stand up I realize how much taller he is than me.
"Yep." I say, "What are you doing here this early anyway?"
"I could ask you the same thing"
"I like being in nature. It's a nice way to get away from all the stuff going on."
"I couldn't agree more." Four replies smiling.
I look at my watch and realize there's only thirty minutes until breakfast and I still need to shower.
"Shoot. We're going to be late."
"Not if we run. I'll race you."
"Is that a challenge?" I ask him.
"What else would it be?" He asks flashing his perfectly straight teeth.
"Oh you're on." I say running back to Ponderosa.
Fifteen minutes later I return to camp. I run past the trail sign exactly two minutes before Four does.
"Congrats. You won." He tells me panting.
"What do I get for winning?"
"Isn't the fact that you beat me enough?"
"Nope."
"Fine, I'll buy you a milkshake."
"That sounds good." I say smiling
"Whatever." Four says rolling his eyes.
"We should get back to our cabins and get changed before breakfast."
"Why? You don't like I look right now?" He asks
I look at him and laugh. He's practically dripping in sweat but that doesn't stop me from noticing the defined muscled under his shirt.
I look back at his questioning face.
"Just go get changed you idiot." I say smiling and shove him away.
As he walks back to his cabin I think what was that? I was just flirting with him. I didn't even know that was possible. Usually I don't crack a smile unless I'm forced to look happy and I haven't talked to a guy my age like before. Never in a million years would I find myself flirting with some guy I barely knew. What is he doing to me?
I walk back to my cabin and come to my senses. A guy like him would never like me. I'm short, skinny, and far to closed off and broken for him to be attracted to me. I realize that he probably flirts with a ton of girls. Just because he's Christian doesn't mean he's not going to flirt with girls at the first chance he gets. He's probably only here for girls and the food or something stupid like that like all the immature high school boys.
A/N- How was that chapter? I'm not sure how this story is going to play out just yet and I'm open to any suggestions. Just writing this story makes me wish I could be there right now. You guys should go google a picture of Hume Lake at sunrise. It's breath taking. I promise. Thanks for the support! Love you guys.
