Ally's POV
I wake up in the morning to find myself in somebodies arms. I don't know who it is but I like the feeling that I get from it. I look up to see whose arms are around me and I'm a bit shocked when I find that it's Austin. I don't even remember falling asleep in his arms. I try not to freak out and try to think of a way to get away without waking him up. I hear Austin mumble something but I can't quite catch what it is at first. I strain my ears to listen harder and I can hear him much clearer now.
"You don't have to go. Please, stay." I have no idea who he talking about. "Ally, please don't go. I love you." My eyes go wide in shock and I try to get away from him even more now but obviously he has different ideas. He holds on me tighter and I just give up on trying to get away.
I've been lying here for an hour now waiting for Austin to either wake up or loosen his grip on me so I can get up. He is still talking in his sleep and saying similar things to earlier. It's mostly about me but there were a few other random things as well.
"Ally? Austin? Where are you guys?" I hear somebody say outside.
Without waking Austin up, I say "In here!"
I hear whoever it is walking over to our tent and unzipping it. "Awww!" I hear Kailee, one of the students from our school, say as she looks inside the tent.
"It's not cute. Can you please just help me get out of here?" I say, getting a little frustrated.
"Sorry, Ally." Kailee says while coming over to me. She lifts up Austin's arms gently so I've got enough room to get up. "I thought you two hated each other. Or am I mistaken for another Austin and Ally?"
"I have no idea how this-" waving my hand between Austin and I "-happened. Can you please just forget it?"
"Fine" Kailee says. We walk out of the tent and go to where everybody else is sitting for breakfast.
"Ally, where's Austin" Mrs Johnson asks as she walk over to me.
"How am I supposed to know? Probably still sleeping." I reply while I'm getting my cereal.
"Well can you go and find him otherwise he'll miss out on breakfast?"
"Isn't there anybody else you can do that? I'd prefer to stay as far away from him as possible."
Mrs Johnson is about to say something when somebody interrupts her.
"I'll go and get him. Anything that will stop this arguing!" I turn around to see Jonny, one of my classmates, walking towards my tent to get Austin. At least it isn't me that has to get him.
After everybody had finished eating their breakfast, Mrs Johnson gathers everybody together to tell us what will be doing today. She explains that we will be partnered with somebody besides our partner and can do anything we wish. That means there is one day that I won't have to spend with Austin. Luckily, Kailee and I are partners. Austin and Jonny are also partners. I only know that because Kailee keeps talking about him. They are tent partners but I've never seen them talk at school before.
"Okay, before you all going off there is one thing I would like to say. Tomorrow is going to be a little different. You will be going hiking for three days by yourselves in a group of four . That is all I will say for now. Try and figure out who you will be with tomorrow. Hint; it has something with who you are partnered with today. Anyway, goodbye, off you go doing whatever you want… as long as it's safe." I hear a few groans here and there from some people about tomorrow, me included.
Kailee and I walk over to her tent and decide to stay in there for the rest of the day. We're talking about anything and everything. Somehow we manage to end up on the topic of relationships. I find out that Kailee has only ever had one boyfriend but their relationship ended badly because he cheated on her with her cousin who happened to be her best friend. Obviously they aren't best friends anymore.
"I've never had a relationship." I tell Kailee after she had finished her story.
"Seriously? You don't seem like that type of girl."
"Believe it because it true." I say and we both giggle a little bit. "So what's happening with you and Jonny?" I say after an awkward, not so awkward, silence.
"What are you talking about? There's nothing going on between me and Jonny. What gave you such a ridiculous idea?" Kailee answers quite quickly while looking away; obviously hiding something.
"Come on, Kailee. You talk about him almost non-stop and I see the way you look at him. There has to be something going on between you two."
"If there was then I would tell you. But I think he likes somebody else anyway."
"Alright. I wonder what's happening tomorrow. I just wanna find out now!"
"Me too! Mrs Johnson said that it has something to do with who we are partnered with today, and there will be four of us out together. From all of that, I'm guessing that it'll be you, me, Austin and Jonny. It's just an idea." Kailee says seeming really excited.
"That sounds horrible; spending a whole three days with Austin. The good part is spending a whole three days with you. You're basically the only friend I have here."
"That can't be true, Ally. There has to be somebody."
"I was only coming because my friend Trish was but she bailed on me the day that we left.
Kailee and I spent. the rest of the day talking about random things and what's going to happen tomorrow. I think Kailee might be a new friend and I really hope so.
