Sorry for the delay but here it goes... =] [=
The rest of the week went on without incident. Amberly continued to pout and Seth avoided Ashlyn, Amy and Rosalie. Saturday morning the girls, Matt, and his friends were walking back from the mess hall. Seth had been walking a bit ahead of them but when he saw who was coming, he turned down the first path. Ashlyn glared after him.
"He is so stuck up! I can't believe him." Matt just shrugged. Jasper looked up.
"I've heard he's been spending a lot of time with your other cousin. Amber or something?" The three girls' heads whipped up.
"What?!" Bradley smiled at their response.
"Ya I saw them. They went canoeing and then they went for a walk through the trees. Seth's cabin is right by ours. I didn't hear him come back till after the sun set. And they hang out in the rec room almost every night." Rosalie was glaring into the trees.
"She is such a b—"Amy cut her off.
"Come on guys. Let's go practice for final jam or something. " The boys waved goodbye and continued up the path and the girls turned down the path that led to their cabin. When they walked in, Amberly was laying on her bed reading a magazine. Seth Tyler was on the cover. Rosalie rolled her eyes and the three girls went and sat on Rosalie's bed, which was the farthest one from Amberly. When they sat down Amberly looked up. She grinned at them, obviously excited. In fact, she was so excited that she forgot to be rude to the other three girls sharing the cabin.
"Oh my god! You will like never believe what just happened!" She didn't even wait for a response. "Seth Tyler and I are now officially dating!" Amy's mouth dropped open, Ashlyn's eyes grew wide and Rosalie dropped the iPod she just picked up.
"What!" Rosalie yelled.
"I know! Isn't that just awesome! Like, I knew that this was going to happen eventually. 'Cause like I'm a Gray and he's the hottest celebrity out there. It was meant to be!" Ashlyn glared at her.
"Umm, we are Gray's too you know."
"Well, duh. But you know, I am the prettiest by a long shot." The girls just rolled their eyes and stormed out of the cabin, slamming the door behind them. They didn't stop walking until they were at the dock. Ashlyn kicked off her runners and dove into the water. Her head came up twenty feet from the dock.
"I'm swimming out to the island. You guys coming?" Amy rolled her eyes at her sister. She could be really dumb sometimes. The island was a extremely small patch of land that was about 50 feet from the shore of the far end of the bay where the camp was. Even the best swimmer couldn't swim that far.
"Ummm, how 'bout we take a canoe?" Ashlyn shrugged and pulled herself onto the dock. The three girls got in the canoe and half an hour later they could see the island. They stopped for a break and started rowing again. 10 minutes later, they pulled the canoe onto the shore, not seeing another camp canoe hidden in some weeds down shore a bit, and started walking through the trees. Tiny would be no exaggeration, more like an understatement. Within ten minutes the girls were on the other side. They sat down on the sand and let the warm morning sun warm them up. Rosalie rolled onto her stomach and looked up through the trees.
``I cant believe him!``
``I know! He is so stuck up!`` Amy glared out onto the lake.
```He probably thinks that he is too good for everyone else except her.``
``She probably told him that she is the queen of England or something completely stupid like that. He`s such an idiot he believed her.`` Ashlyn snorted when Rosalie said this.
"And then on top of that she probably made up some complete lie about us. Why else would he avoid us like this?" The other girls just shrugged. It was silent for a while then; each of the girls in her own little world. "He is pretty cute though..." Rosalie and Amy just rolled their eyes at her. Suddenly Amy jumped up and the other two stared at her.
"What's up Amy?"
"Shh! Did you hear that?" Rosalie stared in the same direction as Amy. They listened for a minute but heard nothing.
"I think you're going crazy Amy." Ashlyn laughed. Amy held up her hand.
"Wait! There it is again." They heard it that time. It sounded like branches snapping. All three girls sat frozen on the beach until the sound stopped. Then they all jumped up and ran down the beach laughing. When they got to their canoe the shoved it into the water and jumped in. In less than five minutes they were more than a hundred feet out. They slowed then, letting the canoe float across the lake. By now, the sun was directly above them.
"Oh crap." Rosalie looked up.
"What?"
"Didn't our classes start at noon?" The three girls stared at each other for a minute and then started rowing towards camp. Within half an hour their canoe was tied up at the dock next to another canoe. They started running towards the classrooms. The turned the corner and all three girls skidded to a stop. Leaning against a tree was Seth. He looked uncomfortable.
"Hey Ashlyn. Can I talk to you?... Alone?" Ashlyn just crossed her arms and glared at Seth. "Please..." She rolled her eyes at him. Pathetic.
"Fine. I'll meet up with you guys in our next class okay?" Rosalie and Amy started walking away and Ashlyn turned towards Seth. "What do you want?"
"Well, I was kinda wondering if you would want to do Final Jam with me." It was silent for a second before Ashlyn started laughing. Seth looked hurt and she started walking away. He grabbed Ashlyn's hand and she froze. "Wait!" Ashlyn turned around slowly but didn't remove her hand from his grip. "Why won't you do it with me?"
"Aren't you going to perform with your girlfriend?" Seth just stared at her. She dropped his hand and started walking away again. After a couple seconds Seth snapped out of it and ran to catch up with Ashlyn. He walked beside her and Ashlyn made a point not to look at him. "Huh? What girlfriend?" Ashlyn stopped and raised her eyebrows.
"My cousin? She said you asked her out this morning." This time Seth started laughing.
"Are you kidding me? That girl is delusional! I asked her if she would come into town with me to pick out a birthday gift for my mom!" Ashlyn smirked.
"And that's all?" Seth nodded. Then he smiled sheepishly.
"You see, there was this other girl I liked..." Ashlyn's face fell.
"Oh?" Seth nodded again. "I see...well, I ummm... have to go...somewhere. See you." She wheeled around and started walking quickly down the path again. Seth kept pace with her.
"Will you wait!" Ashlyn turned to glare at him.
"What!"
"You don't get it." Ashlyn still glared at him and didn't answer. "The girl I like is you..." Ashlyn's eyes widened. She was frozen to her spot. Seth took advantage of this and leaned in to kiss her. When their lips met, Ashlyn snapped out of it and punched Seth square in the face. He jumped back, shocked. Ashlyn glared at him and took off running down the path. Seth stared desperately after her, absentmindedly rubbing his jaw.
"Ashlyn, Wait!" Ashlyn didn't stop. She just shouted back over her shoulder.
"Leave me alone you ass!" Seth shook his head in disbelief as he watched Ashlyn turn a corner and run out of sight.
