Current Interaction: Cody and Harold
"Well, Short Stuff," Leshawna said, brushing sand off of her jeans as she stood, "been nice talkin' to ya. I'm just gonna go snag a shower before I turn in."
"Okay," Cody said, waving. "See ya later."
Leshawna headed off. Cody remained sitting for a few moments, then got up to head back to the campgrounds too.
Just as he was approaching the Gopher cabin, the door on the girl's side opened, and a lanky figure came out. Cody's eyes slid across the figure briefly, then did a double take when he saw that it was not Lindsay or Heather or Izzy, but Harold, looking around wildly, back against the wall as he slowly inched away.
"Harold?"
"Agh!"
He jumped so high he managed to bash his head against the porch canopy. "Agh! Idiots!"
Cody forced down a snicker as best he could. "Sorry man. But, uh...what were you doing in there?"
Harold, who had been rubbing his head, suddenly froze, biting his lip. "Uh...wh-what do you mean?" he said nervously, tapping his fingers together.
"Well, you were just in the our team's cabin." Pause. "On the girl's side."
"Oh. Well, uh---I was just, uh---um...looking for someone?"
"Oh. ...Who?"
"Uh...I was looking for, uh...uh, uh---Gwen!"
"Gwen?" Oh what, does he have a crush on her too?
"Yeah. I, uh, just---I was hoping to get my ant farm back. Yeah, that's it! You know, from before...when she borrowed it...yeah."
Cody raised an eyebrow. "But, uh...she wasn't there," Harold added lamely. "So...I'm gonna---uh...yeah."
And with that he quickly turned and raced back to the Bass cabin as fast as he could.
Cody continued to frown at the place where Harold had been standing for a moment, then shook his head and started to head around the building to the guy's side.
Man, that Harold guy could be weird sometimes, Cody thought. I wonder what he was really up to. I hope he doesn't really have a crush on Gwen or anything. I mean, that would be really...
He suddenly stopped, turning around. A thought had just occurred to him.
He slowly walked back to the girl's side of the cabin and stuck his head in. It was empty; all the girls were probably in the bathrooms getting ready for bed. Cody stuck his head back out, looked around to make sure no one was coming, then slowly entered the room.
Now, which of these beds...then he spotted one with some of Leshawna's clothes thrown onto it. That would probably be it.
He creeped over, took another look around to make sure no one was going to catch him, then lifted up the pillow. There was a small, folded piece of paper under it.
Smirking, Cody picked it up and unfolded it, giving the poem a quick look. His eyebrows shot up momentarily, then he chuckled. "Why Harold, you sly dog you." Then he quickly replaced the note, put the pillow carefully back over it and swept out of the room, still laughing under his breath.
And this is why I put off doing the "Cody and Leshawna" chapter---so that I could write a sequel drabble without interrupting my whole "every camper" thing. ;-) Hope you guys enjoyed this, please leave a review!
Next Interaction: Gwen's brother and Trent. That's right, thinking outside the box now.
