Here's chapter 2! It didn't really turn out the way I expected it to and I don't know if I like it or not. Anyway, here it is:

Austin's POV
I wake up in the morning to the sound of birds chirping. I think it's from outside my window but when I attempt to get out of bed, I fail and end up kicking somebody. I cannot see their face because it's still slightly dark and they are facing the other direction. From all I can see and hear, she looks and sounds like a perfect girl. Realisation hits me when I remember where I am and who I am!
"Ahhhhhhh!" I scream at the top of my lungs.
Ally just moves a little bit in her sleeping bag and I run outside to get some fresh air when I run into somebody.
"Austin, are you okay? I heard a scream." Mrs Johnson asks me.
"I'm fine. Nothing to worry about" I lie just so I didn't have to talk to her anymore. "I'm just gonna go for a quick walk. I'll be back soon." I say and am about to walk away when she stops me.
"Hold up there, Austin. Anything you do, you have to do with your partner. From what I can see, Ally is still asleep so you can either wake her up and go for a walk together or you can stay here like every other student is doing."
"Is there no other choice I could make?" I knew there wasn't but I've got to at least try.
"Unfortunately, no" I'm about to but in when she continues talking. "Now, I suggest you go and get ready for today because it's going to be a long day."
Any day with this freak is a long day.
I walk back into the tent to find clean clothes to wear and, unfortunately, Ally is awake. She's in the middle of getting changed but for some reason I cannot look away. I never knew that somebody as annoying as her could be so hot! Austin! What are you thinking?! You cannot think of Ally like that! You hate her! Remember? I walk out slowly before she can notice me but I'm just a tad too late.
"Austin! What do you think you're doing?!" Ally whisper yells, so nobody else can hear besides us.
"I-uhh-I'm-" I struggle to say anything.
"Get out!" Yes yells again. I stumble backwards out of the tent and go and fine a nice looking rock to sit on and think about what just happened.
Before I know it, it's time to start the 'trust' activities. Ally and I have been assigned to go kayaking together. Boy, this is going to be hard. After what happened earlier in the tent, I'm not sure if I'll be able to look at her the same anymore. I think I might be falling for Ally! She'd never go for a guy like me though because I'm just some jerk who hates her and vice versa.
It's all quiet and I'm in the middle of a lake with a girl who hates me and I'm supposed to hate her but right now I'm not sure that I do. Sure, she still annoys me and everything but now that I know how hot she is I cannot resist being around her!
"What are you looking at?" Ally asks me, sounding really confused.
"Uhhh, the trees behind you" is the first thing I think of to say. She turns around confused to find no trees behind her.
"What trees?"
"Never mind…" I say quietly while looking down at my feet.
"You're not acting like yourself. Normally you'd be saying hell rude stuff to me and I'd be yelling back. What's up?" I hear Ally say after a while.
"I'm just taking your advice from yesterday and trying to act like I want to be here. It might be the only way that we'd both survive the week." That was partially true.
"Alright then. Those words I never thought I'd hear coming from you. I guess miracles do happen every day." Ally says. "We should probably start to head back. It's getting a bit dark, don't ya think?"
I just nod my head, thinking that if I say something I'll embarrass myself in front her.
We get back to the camp ground and they had just started the bonfire. We had to sit next to our partners on the logs around the fire and the only log left was a small one that we'd barely fit on together. However, we both sit down on it.
I get this weird feeling when we bump knees and shoulders that I cannot stand it after even 5 minutes so I get up and run back to the tent without even saying anything. I hear somebody coming after me quietly calling my name. I decide to stay quiet but doesn't work because next thing I know, Ally is sitting next to me in our tent.
Neither of us says anything for a while after what seems like ages it starts raining. I can see that Ally looks a little bit scared so I ask "Are you okay over there?"
"Yeah, just a tad cold from the rain" she says while shaking.
"Here. Take my jacket. It'll keep you warm." I say as I take my jacket off.
"No. I can't take it because then you'll be cold."
"But I can't let a pretty girl like you go cold." I say without realising I just called her pretty. She doesn't say anything in response so I don't say anything either. The rain starts to pour down even heavier and I can see Ally shaking even more than earlier. I scoot over to where she is sitting and put my arm around her shoulders along with a blanket. She seems a little hesitant at first but doesn't disapprove of what I have done. Before I know it, Ally has fallen asleep on me and I start drifting off to sleep myself.
Right now, at this moment in time, I know for sure that the way I'm acting isn't just to get us through the week. I know that I actually do have feelings for Ally; the girl I'm supposed to hate.
