Here's the next chapter! I wanted to update really quick, because it took a while to update the last one. Also, because I love writing this stuff.
This was done before any reviews had been made. :)
I know you guys have been etching for some romance action, so I added some, and of course, more awkward romance.
Hope you guys enjoy!
I sat at the edge of the river watching the light reflect off of the rippling water while the others broke down camp. A cool breeze flowed through my undone hair as I stared at the water. I placed my fingers in the water and watched the steam curl off my fingers. As soon as the steam came, it was blown away by the wind.
Wind. Chet. Was that real? I thought as I remembered the night before.
No, I was just delusional. Right?
I was about to go help with camp, when I heard footsteps clattering down the bank.
"Stupid. Stupid! You had her!" growled the voice of Calder.
He must've just had a moment with Winter. He must've backed away, like I always did with Chet.
Shut up! Stop thinking about him! I scolded myself.
I stood up and walked towards Calder.
"So, what did you do this time?" I called out to him.
"Huh, What?" he gasped as he jerked towards me.
"What did you do to bail it with Winter?"
"Oh, I totally embarrassed myself, so I improvised, and went to get water." He sighed as he put his hands in his pockets and walked towards me.
"Well, that's what you're doing wrong." I said matter-of-factly.
"What?"
"Your improvising is messing you up."
He looked at me strangely.
"When you say embarrassing, Winter says cute." I explained. "Don't back away, stay in the moment."
"Um, okay." he nodded.
"Now go convince my sister that you love her." I said as I pushed him towards camp.
He got the message and ran towards camp. I trudged slowly behind and watched him encounter Winter. He rubbed his head, and turned red. Then what looked like an evil smile spread across his face, and suddenly, Winter turned red and began to blush and looked like she was going to cry.
I looked away. Fail.
I wasn't watching where I was going, and I accidentally bumped into Chet.
"Oh, sorry." I quickly said as I stood up.
Wow, he's cute.
"It's okay." He sighed as he stood up as well.
His hair didn't even get messed up!
"So… how's life." I stuttered.
His eyes are gorgeous.
"Good, good. You?"
Oh, I love his smile.
"Oh, um, good." I managed to get out.
Does he always look this cute?
"So, are you ready to go?"
Wow, he's hot.
"Yeah, I guess."
He's perfect.
"Well, come on." he said as he ran off.
That's when I was knocked out of my dream-boy state.
As I followed him, I tripped on my skirt, and he caught me.
Dream-boy state again.
"Be careful." he said as he put me back on my feet.
He's so strong.
"Oh, sorry, I will." I stuttered.
Wow, he's dreamy.
"Okay." he nodded as he walked away.
Out of dream-boy state.
I followed him again, but lingered behind.
Oh well.
