"Peggy!"

Peggy stopped in her tracks and turned to face Barron who was out of breath.

"Damn, girl! You move fast!" He said, breathing heavily.

Peggy chuckled. "I wasn't even running!"

"No, but you were jogging. Why?"

She shrugged, taking a sip from her water bottle. "I'm into fitness lately."

"You are? But you look perfect just the way you are!"

She raised an eyebrow with a smirk. "Girls can be into fitness for other reasons you know? I use it as a coping mechanism."

"Oh. Right, yeah." Barron laughed shyly.

"So, what did you want?" She asked, taking a step closer to him.

Barron noticed this and gave her a cheeky smile. "I was wondering if you wanted to go for a swim later on?"

"A swim?"

"Doesn't have to be... We're adults..." Barron trailed off.

Peggy burst out laughing. "You mean like sex?"

"What?!"

"Barron... I've seen you looking at me. Sander told me that you like me." Peggy said, blushing. "I wouldn't mind giving us a chance, you know? I like you too."

Barron could have leapt for joy but he kept it cool. "You, me, date, tonight."

"You, me, date, tonight, where?" Peggy teased back.

He laughed, kissing her cheek. "The lake. I'll make it special for you, chica."

"You better." Peggy smiled widely before jogging off.

...

Ella burst into her shared room with Tess and was surprised to see the bathroom door wide open and Tess throwing up.

"Tess!"

Tess jumped, slipping onto her bottom as she turned to Ella with fear in her eyes.

"Are you okay? Did you eat something bad?"

Tess was honestly thankful for Ella's oblivious ways but if this were Peggy, Lola, Caitlyn or even Mitchie, she knew didn't stand a chance with her actions. Especially since Mitchie was close to this.

"Oh..., yeah. I was feeling quite unsettled." Tess mumbled, rubbing her throat.

"Oh dear! Look, I'll tell Jason that you can't work tomorrow. Why don't you sleep and stay in tomorrow?"

Tess shook her head. "No, I'll be fine. I'm sure it will pass." Tess mumbled, flushing the toilet and going to wash her hands.

"You might want to brush your teeth too," Ella said, smiling sweetly. "Smells like death."

Tess rolled her eyes and got her toothbrush, putting toothpaste on it.

She hadn't known when this 'habit' of hers had started exactly. Stresses of being a model after a failed singing career had really affected her and she found herself listening to the popular models when they said that they purged and didn't eat much to maintain skinny figures. It wasn't a good habit but it kept them beautiful.

Ella didn't understand. Ella was perfect with her caramel hair, luscious pink lips, Asian background... She also had the body that many models wanted. Curvy but slim. Ella didn't gain weight when she ate and she could literally eat a horse if she wanted to. She hadn't turned vegetarian or vegan like Mitchie and Tess. She was proud to eat meat and stay beautiful without even trying. But to all perfections, there were imperfections. Tess knew that Ella hated her skin. No one knew but Ella had had bad acne when she was younger and most were still visible but with the right amount of foundation and concealer, Ella had managed to cover them up as well as use face masks and vitamins.

"Well, I'm off to bed. If you need anything, wake me."

Tess smiled her thanks and frowned immediately when her best friend left the bathroom. She was almost close to being caught and she felt almost sick again. No one could know. Unless... she could talk to someone about it. Someone who she recently made up with.

"Peggy..." She whined.

...

"Hey, Trouble," Lola called out to Sander. He looked up from his dancing and smiled at her.

He looked up from his dancing and smiled at her. "Hey, Lolz."

"What you working on?"

Sander shrugged, turning the music on low. "This dance piece a student's trying to crack. I want to teach him before Final Jam but I can't get it."

Lola nodded. "Show me."

Sander turned the music back on loud and started to dance, smirking at her every so often. When he was done three minutes later, he folded his arms in a cool stance.

"I know your problem."

"You do? I really need the help. Barron's got a date with Peggy."

Lola giggled. "Oh yeah, she couldn't stop talking about it in our cabin. Anyway, the music is too quick or you're too slow. You need a slower beat or a quicker stamina. I'd go with slow beat."

"But I counted the steps correctly with the music timing." Sander frowned, checking his music.

Lola shrugged. "It's easier written than done, remember? Dancing is physical, not mental."

Sander nodded, getting what she was saying. "I guess you're right, Lola. Let me make this 0.5 of a second slower."

Lola laughed. "0.5? Make it a second."

Sander frowned. "But-"

"You want this kid to do well, don't you?"

He nodded and tuned the music before restarting it and dancing. He found it was much easier and more fun to practice. "It feels better. The flow's great! Thanks!" He said when he was finished.

"And you don't sound half out of breath." Lola smiled.

"Hey!" Sander laughed, swatting her with his sweaty towel. "How's your kid?" He asked, swallowing deeply.

Lola blushed. "Oh, he's fine. Thanks."

"Good. I'd like to meet him one day. If he has a mother like you, then he's probably an expert at rapping and dancing."

And this made Lola's heart swoon.

...

"Thank you guys for showing me around. I might stick around for a while. I haven't got any pressing matters to attend to..." Lana smiled, hugging Caitlyn.

Mitchie chuckled. "Same. Singing during your vacation is so overrated!"

"Hey!" Shane teased, nudging her. "It really was great hanging out with you again, Lana."

"Feeling's mutual, Shane."

Nate checked his watch. "Yeah, most campers would be settling into bed by now."

"Do we want to go to bed or hang out for a while later?"

Nate shrugged, hugging Caitlyn close to his side. "We have a Jam tomorrow. The guys and I have to sort that out."

"We could get Nat and Mara to help out?" Caitlyn suggested.

"Yeah. Where's Jason anyway?" Shane asked. "I know that Dana's got Kelly for the night."

Mitchie and Caitlyn shared a knowing look.

"Oh, he's fine."

"Is he now?" Nate smirked, sharing his own knowing look with Shane.

Lana frowned. "Jason is fine...?"

"We have a friend. They recently got together."

"Oh, then I am happy for them." Lana grinned.

"We are too." Mitchie grinned.
