The kids all gathered the next morning to have breakfast and it was obvious who the victim had been. Everyone sat down at the long table and waited for Adam to say something.
"Well this is truly a sad morning." He said as he walked to the head of the table. "I know by now you have heard about the fire and the unfortunate passing of Eve Torres. The police are currently investigating things. Since we are now without a girls' counselor, Beth is taking over there. Kids, I know this is very shocking. But it will not affect things. So, we will continue with things as always. So, enjoy the breakfast."
Avery looked over at Kate. Eve was dead "I wonder if it was an accident or what?" Kate asked.
"I'm sure it was. She probably knocked some candles over or something." John replied.
"I don't know. It seems strange." She replied. He placed his arm around her.
"Don't worry. It was just an accident." He smiled.
"Yeah. So, you guys know we have some kind of hike today right?" She replied to the group.
"Your point?"
"Maybe you and Mike can get lost together while John and I find a quiet place to enjoy nature."
"I guess so." Avery replied.
"It's no wonder your dad wants to send you to boarding school in Canada." Phil said to her. "I'm surprised he doesn't lock you in the house and never let you out."
"You're just jealous." John replied. "Because no girl wants you."
He looked at Avery. "That wasn't always the case."
"Let it go."
"You see everyone, I had the pleasure of dating Avery Hart." He smirked a little as he looked at her again. "Well we really did do more than date now didn't we? But I digress. And then one day out of the blue, she dumps me. All because Daddy told her to."
"I dumped you because you went around accusing me of fucking every guy I talked to and you're the one who couldn't keep it in your pants."
"I admit I have issues."
"Issues I could deal with. You have while fucking subscriptions."
"And now you've moved on to this little pompous ass rich boy. I'm sure Daddy will approve."
"My life and anyone in it, is none of your business." She said turned away from him.
"We'll see." He said getting up.
Breakfast was soon over and they headed out. The counselors went ahead while the campers hiked. Once they got further into the woods, John, Kate, Mike and Avery headed toward the waterfall.
"We will see you guys here in an hour?" John said to Mike and Avery.
"See you then and try to behave." Mike laughed as John took Kate's hand and they headed in another direction. "Now I'm really surprised Kate's dad hasn't locked her away." He laughed.
"She's not so bad." Avery said.
"So that was something at breakfast." Mike said. Avery shrugged.
"It's not like it's a big secret that we hooked up. He went nuts when he saw me talking to this kid at school. Cody was my lab partner. That's it. And he tells him that if he even looks at me again, he'll beat him to death. And then two hours later, I catch him with his dick in AJ."
"The girl who is here at camp?" Mike asked.
"One in the same. I couldn't be with a cheater." She added. "So, what shall we do while John and Kate are playing doctor?"
Mike laughed. "This place has a beautiful view. We should just enjoy it." He said sitting down on the cliff by the waterfall. "He shouldn't have said that in front of everyone. Whatever happened between you guys shouldn't be public knowledge."
"It is what it is." She said as she sat down beside him.
"You don't have to pretend to be all tough. If we're going to be in a relationship, we've got to be honest with each other."
"Who says we're going to be in a relationship?"
"Well, Punk thinks we are. You know I think you're hot. And maybe the best revenge is to give him something to talk about." He said. He leaned in and kissed her. "Besides it's obvious we are going to be with each other since our buddies are together."
She smiled a little. "I guess so." She looked out at the waterfall as they sat there. It really was beautiful.
John and Kate walked a little bit away from the waterfall. "So, where are we going?" Kate asked John as they walked.
"Just finding us a place to be alone." He smiled.
"I'm not having sex against a tree John. It makes marks on my back and they're a little hard to explain."
"Oh come on, Kate." He said as they stopped. "I was thinking that but I guess not now."
"John."
"Well it's not like I planned this time. I was hoping we would be at the cabin in the woods but we can't make it there and back in time. So we have to figure out something." He leaned in and kissed her. "So, what to do?"
She smiled as she saw the crystal pool if water just a little ways away. She pulled her shirt over her head and threw it at him. "I feel like a swim." She walked to the water and finished taking everything else off and got into the water. "Well, are you going to join me or not?"
He smiled and got undressed and got into the water with her. He pulled her close to him and kissed her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and they were soon making love in the water. She knew what everyone said about their relationship. That she was just using him to make her dad pay attention to her. But that wasn't the case. She loved him and she would even if her dad liked him.
"That was something different." He said afterwards and they were drying off.
"Well, it's good to try something new." She smiled.
"We better get back to the waterfall." Kate nodded and they got dressed. They headed back to the waterfall and stopped when they saw Mike and Avery kissing.
"I think a love connection was made." Kate smiled.
"I knew they would hook up." He laughed a little bit. "Should we interrupt?"
"Well, we do need to head back." John nodded and they walked toward them.
"I always knew you two would hook up." He said when they got there.
"Yeah Cena? How did you know that?" Mike asked as he got up and offered Avery his hand. She took it and got to her feet.
"Because she's exactly your type. And you looked like you wanted to stab Phil on the throat this morning at breakfast."
"Super Cena thinks he knows it all." Mike laughed.
"Well, I know we better head back before they wonder where we are."
John took Kate's hand and the four of them headed to meet back up with the rest of the group. They were about twenty yards away when they heard screaming. They rushed toward the sound just as Layla hit the ground. Her head was to the side and her eyes were open looking at them. A fair trail of blood ran out the side of the mouth and her body looked a little swollen.
"Oh my god." Kate said turning to hide her face in John's shoulder. They looked up as the counselors came over.
"What the hell happened?" Beth asked.
"I don't know. We just walked up and we heard a scream." John said to her.
"Where were the four of you anyway?"
"I twisted my ankle and they stopped to help me." Avery said.
Beth turned to Kate and John. "Is that true? Or were you doing something else?"
"I twisted my ankle and they stopped to help me. That's the truth." Avery said to her.
"I know the truth." Beth said to them. "But I will let it go this time." She walked over to where Adam was.
"The police are on the way." Adam said to her. "We need to get the kids back to camp. I just can't believe this."
Beth nodded. She couldn't either. He had worked so hard to make this a great camp for trouble kids and now in the span of two days they'd had two deaths. She wondered if this one was an accident or if someone was doing it on purpose.
