Daisy's POV
"Hey" I say "what's shaking" I add.
Seriously! What's shaking? I should probably start crawling into the ground now. I quickly look over to where Hunter was still busy almost dry humping the girl he was mauling earlier and I internally sigh in relief that he can't ruin this for me if I don't ruin it for myself. Dean's gaze follows my gaze to Hunter and lifts a perfect eyebrow
"Jealous?" he asks.
No of course not "I'd rather gouge my eyes out with a spoon and eat them" I reply fiercely.
Wow, interesting visual to give to your crush. So cute. Someone please shoot me.
Just then, someone calls his name and he sends an apologetic glance my way.
"I've got to go, see you later, seatmate" he says as he saunters away. A wave of excitement crashes over me with the reminder of spending 3 whole hours seating beside Dean. I know I'm acting pathetic but I can't help it.
I continue my search for my friends but when I couldn't locate them, I send a text to both of them informing them that I was about to board the plane and I receive a brief "k" from both of them. After taking my seat and making myself comfortable, I plug in my earphones and start bobbing my head to the music. I close my eyes and try to completely relax and catch a few zzzzs before everyone comes aboard.
I was almost off to my own happy place when I spot Dean and Hunter approaching; I discreetly check my appearance, sit up straight and run a hand through my hair to smooth it, not for Hunter but for Dean. I try to act nonchalant when in reality my heart was beating as loud as a super bass.
Finally they took their seats and didn't bother me because my eyes were still closed making them assume I was asleep. I give myself a little pep talk and urge myself to start a conversation with Dean and just when I was about to pretentiously wake up from my fake sleep, Blake hollers at Dean from the back to come and give his opinion on a very important conversation i.e. who had the biggest curves between Stephanie and Tiffany. And of course, He being the player he is did not hesitate to go and put his own two cents in, leaving me with Hunter.
"I know you are not asleep". He says.
Can't he just take a clue and leave me alone; I shut my eye harder trying to block him out.
"You know ignoring me won't make me go away right" Hunter tries to get me to respond again.
I groan "Leave me alone you jackass".
"Ah, it speaks" He says wittingly.
"Moron" I mumble under my breath. He doesn't reply so I assume he didn't hear, and I make a move to plug my earphones back in my ears when his hand suddenly grabs mine preventing me from doing so. I'm surprised by the gentleness of his touch and how weirdly good it feels. A shiver runs up my spine. I turn to face him and he releases my hand, I ignore the disappointment I feel at his actions.
When I peek a look at his face, he looks unaffected by the contact and raises an eyebrow at the look on my face which I'm sure was slightly dazed. I blame the way his touch affected me on hormones, I mean teenagers experience hormone imbalance all the time right? "What" I say attempting to sound unfazed.
"Oh" he says in a hoarse voice then clears his throat and speaks again in a more mischievous tone making me narrow my eyes at him.
"I just wanted to inform you that since Mr. Fiddles said partners will share the same tent, you should sleep with one eye open. I mean you never know what can happen in the woods" He smirks and turns away just as the flight attendant orders us to fasten our seat belt. Dean comes back and settles down. As the plane took off, I decided to finally get some real sleep.
I start dreaming about a lion chasing a deer, the deer runs very fast for its life and when the lion finally catches up to the deer, they both stand up straight and shake hands. What the heck? Then next I see them wearing bikinis and relaxing on the beach both sipping margaritas. What? They start talking but I can't hear what they are saying because of an insistent tapping on my shoulders.
"Daisy wake up, we're here" someone whispers in a gentle voice.
"Geez wake up and stop slobbering all over me" another voice repeats in an annoyed tone.
No, I don't want to wake up, my pillow smells so good; I bury my nose in it and sigh in appreciation. The deer and the lion both send confused glances at me.
"Daisy" the person with the annoyed tone says in a strained voice. I slowly open my eyes halfway and find my face buried in the crook of Hunter's neck, my eyes snap open completely and my face heats up in mortification.
How did I even end up there? I glance at Hunter and see him smirking evilly at me "you've got a little something there" he says pointing to my chin. I hastily swipe my hands across my face and find drool at the corner of my mouth; I blush harder if that is even possible. Thank God nobody was around to witness my embarrassment. It suddenly hits me that I was sitting between two people and that it was two people that tried to wake me up.
Oh my God, Dean.
I bring myself to turn around and face Dean to find an amused smirk on his handsome face. He saw me drooling! God, I should probably start planning my future. Let's see, after getting off this plane, I'll change my name to Mrs. Cat, move to Antarctica, build an igloo and have 50 penguins as pets
Hunter clears his throat, drawing my attention to him and then points to his Jacket on which I had; oh so gracefully drooled on. I'm saved from any embarrassing comment that was about to come out of Hunter's mouth, when my phone vibrates indicating that I have a message. I unlock my phone and my jaw drops at the picture staring me back in the face.
No way!
Daisy's POVI unlock my phone and my jaws drops at the picture staring me back in the face. It's a picture of me asleep, head resting cozily on Hunter's shoulder, mouth wide open (probably from the surprise of seeing a deer and a lion in bikinis), and drool dripping down the corner of my mouth. The picture was tagged: A Truly Glorious Moment. Two other texts come in and I open them, one is from Chloe and the other from Bloom.Chloe: it was sent to the whole school seven minutes ago by Hunter..........what is going on over there? LolBloom: oh my gosh, that picture is horrible..........you good?Am I okay?If blind rage can be considered okay, then yes I guess I'm perfectly fine. I turn to Hunter to give him a piece of my mind, when I decide against it. We are going to share the same tent right? Karma is a bitch and revenge is its sister. Just you wait, jerk. I start mentally cooking up my revenge plan when I notice that we are no longer in the air. I gather my purse and make my way
Daisy's POVWe all stood up and ran to the direction which it came from, some students were already there. I look to the side and see Taylor crying and Tiffany consoling her. I start to wonder what happened but didn't have to wonder for long before some of her other friends ask her what was wrong. She starts sobbing louder "It was a snake, it crawled right over my foot into that tiny bush, I hate this place". When she notices Hunter, she starts to sob louder than before and moves towards Hunter who was standing beside me. "Baby, you will protect me right" she says while trying to snuggle into Hunter. An annoyed look crosses Hunter's face and he rolls his eyes at her dramatics. "You wouldn't let anything happen to me, my hero". I bite my tongue to keep from bursting into laughter. "What happened here?" Mr. Fiddles asks as he approaches us with another teacher, Miss Rose. Miss Rose is the nicest teacher I've ever known. "A snake crawled over Taylor's leg, do you hear that, a snake!

Chapter 7Hunter's POV Daisy jerks and her eyes widen in shock while Dean smirks and turns to Daisy who was as still as a statue. His eyes twinkle with amusement and maybe a hint of interest. It better not be!I don't even know why I'm so agitated about this. It's just plain ol' annoying, infuriating, ego assassin, beautiful, smart, sexy.........Daisy. Here I go again.I might not like daisy but I know I'm uncomfortable with this dare so it isn't gonna happen. I'll make sure of it.Meanwhile, Dean cups Daisy's face and smiles at her but she doesn't smile back since she was still frozen. I try to catch Mark's eyes and when he finally looks at me, I mouth "change the dare, you owe me" to him. He really does owe me; I saved his ass last week. If Mark was surprised by my request, he didn't show it. He quickly remedies the situation. "Dean wait, I have an even better dare for you" He says stopping Dean whose face was about 3 inches apart from Daisy's. Daisy face turns into one of
Daisy's POVI exit the trailer and start to walk in the direction of the tent when I spot Chloe and Bloom watching something on their phone and giggling afar off and I turn to move in their direction instead."Hey, what are you cork screws up to?" I say hugging them both.They start to giggle again and my curiosity starts to pique. "It's" giggle "just so" laughs "funny" Chloe manages to cackle out between her laughs. "What's funny?" I say giggling even though I don't know what they were laughing about but Chloe's laugh was just so infectious."This" Bloom answers shoving the phone they were staring at earlier in my face.I notice a paused video and I restart it. It was a video starring Mr. Fiddles when he gathered the students in the cleared space to give them their assignment for the camp. Clearly, I overslept.Mr. Fiddles back was facing the tree that his boxer was hung but he was completely unaware of it. "Your project assignment is to find a medicinal plant, study it, recognize
Hunter's POVI watch Daisy as she angrily marches away and I can't stop my eyes from watching her as she sashays. I'm being a pervert, I know. After I lose sight of her, I put on my wet shirt and make my way to the tent to change my clothes. At the entrance, I hear someone talking in a panicked voice and a whimper in the tent.What the hell!Did Daisy bring a guy in our tent?I can't stop the rage and disappointment I feel at that thought. That guy isn't going to walk out of there in one piece if I have anything to say about it.I enter the tent abruptly to find Daisy spreading a huge blanket over my bed. When she finally notices my entrance, she suddenly sits on the space that she spread the blanket on."Hey, Hunter" She greets me cheerily, too cheerily. Something's up.I walk closer to my bed expecting her to get up but she grabs the edge of the bed firmly with both hands."What are you doing on my bed?" I ask her."Oh me.........nothing, absolutely nothing, why would I ever want t
Daisy's POVI enter the tent and exhale deeply.Hunter and I have been at each other's throat for almost 3 years now, so why the sudden attraction? If he had kissed me, what would I have done? In that moment, I probably might have kissed him back.I start a mantra in my head to put everything back in place.You have a crush on Dean and no one else, Hunter is just a stupid jerkYou have a crush on Dean and no one else, Hunter is just a stupid jerkYou have a crush on Dean and no one else, Hunter is just a handsome and considerate...................UghhI hear growling coming from my side of the tent and I turn to see the dog munching on something green. I ignore it and proceed to change my clothes.I prepare to move out of the tent when I realize I had forgotten my bracelet. It was my mother's gift for my fourteenth birthday just before she was murdered.I blink back tears and try my best to forget the horrible incident that led to my mother being killed and my phobia of darkness."Hu
Hunter's POVI wake up to find something or rather someone curled into me with my arms around that person's waist. I open my eyes to see that that person was actually Daisy. I remember climbing into her bed yesterday night because of the poop stain on my bed. I'll definitely give her my opinion when she wakes up.I make to climb out of bed when her sleeping profile catches my attention. A foreign feeling fills me up to the brim. I suddenly feel like keeping her in a glass case and banging my chest like a gorilla to ward everyone away from her.Without my control, my hands mechanically move towards her face and tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. My hands remain there cupping her face halfway and studying just how beautiful she really is.She groans and unconsciously rests her hand on my hand that was cupping her face making me feel ten times of what I was feeling before. I felt like drawing her into me and never letting go.Stop this!I snap out of whatever daze I was in and remove
