Sylvia's P. O. V " Here, hold my hand," Alex said. I stared at his outstretched hands, confused. Huh? He saw the confusion on my face and smiled even wider. " You think I'll leave you here all alone? " " But I just said I'm claustrophobic." I reminded. " I know. It's because you're scared of small, enclosed places. Maybe if someone held your hands, you wouldn't feel so scared." " Oh...." I mumbled, trailing off. A blush crept up my cheeks as I gingerly put my hands on his. He stared at the hands and stopped, frowning slightly. " What happened to your hands?" He asked, seeing the bright red mark. I glanced at it and gasped. " Oh... I had hot chocolate spilled on me yesterday." I replied, and he gave me a cursive look. " You're not that clumsy." He noted, and I smiled nervously. He clasped it gently, pulling me with him. " Okay now. Close your eyes." He said. I nodded and did as he told me. He began walking, and I followed him, my eyes still closed. Once I felt in
Patrick's P. O. V Looking for and finding Martin, I pulled him away from the crowd he was in, dragging him by the chest. " Hey! What's wrong with you? Let me go!" He said, and I released him, forcing him to stagger backward. " What was that for?" He asked, stunned. I huffed, running my hands through my hair. " Why did you do that Olivia? Why did you threaten her?" I asked, and he stared at me, confused. " Who's Olivia?" " The girl you threatened yesterday, that's Olivia. " I replied. " Oh... That bitch? Take it, easy man, it's not my fault. She was too uptight. " He replied, and I almost punched him in the face if not for the timely intervention of Randy. " She's not a bitch, and this isn't New Jersey where you can get away with hitting on girls. Have some respect." I muttered through gritted teeth. " Let me go! " I mumbled to Randy before stomping out of the area.... " I didn't expect you to do that." Came Sylvia's voice a while later. We had gone back to
. Olivia's P. O. V I was sitted with Tyler when I felt a tug on my fishing line. Realising my bait had caught a fish, I began to draw it out. I struggled for a while but soon the fish came out of the water and I giggled in happiness. It kept dancing on the line as it was out of water. " Oh look at that! Olivia already caught a fish and I'm still praying for one. " Tyler said beside me and I laughed out loud. " What are we supposed to do with this though?" I asked as I stared at the fish. " Put it back in the river. We're not meant to eat it." Tyler said and I lowered the fish back to the river, removing it from the hook. " Well, that was fun." I said to Tyler who smiled at me. I reeled my line into the water in other to catch another fish. I looked at my hands and noticed there were raised welts on it. " Damn this mosquitoes! There are so many of them!" I muttered, scratching my arms. " Did you forget to use your mosquito repellent?" Tyler asked,
Patrick's P. O. V " If you're here to haunt me, please just stop." I began to say I got to my friends. Martin already had a bandage around his head and he wouldn't stop touching it. " What do you mean?" Skyler asked. " You know exactly what I mean. " I replied. " I can't keep having you ruin everything, especially you Martin," I said, glaring at him. He recoiled. " We're sorry, man. I had no idea what this dude was up to. " Randy said, pointing at him. Martin slapped his hands off. Skyler sighed. " We're sorry if we've been nothing but a pain to you. We'll back down if that's what you want." Skyler said, and I nodded. "You'll do that?" I asked, unsure. " Of course... That's what friends are for, right?' She asked, and they slowly nodded. " Then I'd be grateful if you did that. We're cool right?" " Definitely. " Skyler replied, smiling. " Great. I'll see you guys around then. " I said and with one last glance back at them, I walked away.... Skyler's P.
Tyler's P. O. V I tried to tear my eyes away from Olivia as she swam but even i know that's impossible. It's a good thing to know that she doesn't notice. A few boys began to cast lustful glances at her but I was quick to shoo them away with a glare. The way her wet hair was plastered against her body, made her look like a real water goddess. I sighed sadly, loving someone who doesn't feel the same way about you is like using a white marker on a white paper. It marks... But always invisible. She soon caught my gaze and before I had time to avert it, swam towards me. I sunk deeper into the water so only my head was in view. She stopped inches ahead of me, smiling brightly. " Enjoying yourself?" I asked with the most neutral voice I could muster. She nodded, running her hands through her wet hair. " Yeah... This is the most fun I've had in days." She replied and I chuckled, earning a giggle from her. " What about you?" She asked, swimming even closer. I tried t
Tyler's P. O. V I eventually found Olivia by the riverside after hours of looking for her. I should've known she'll be here in the first place. Her legs were in the water and she was staring out, listening to music with her headphones. " Hey... " I called out when I got closer but I didn't sit down. She looked up at me, removing her headphones but didn't say anything. I took in a deep breath and continued. " I'm sorry." I apologized. " For what?" She quietly asked. " For yelling at you earlier today. I didn't mean to... I couldn't help it." I replied and I heard her sigh. She eventually removed her legs from the water and stood up to face me, folding her hands. " You know I have every right to be mad at you, don't I?" She asked and I nodded, running my hands through my hair. " But... Why do you have to be so fussy?" She continued. Because I love you! I screamed. And it sucks that you only see me as a friend. I want to be more than that to you! But of
Sylvia's P. O. V As Alex sang, my eyes frantically search the crowd looking for one person whose reaction I fear the most. I eventually found him and he was already staring at me, with Skyler by his side while couldn't stop smirking. His demeanor was calm but his eyes were burning and I gulped nervously. Terrified by it, I made to leave but Olivia held me in place. She must've seen how uneasy I was. " You're not going to leave, are you?" She asked and I stared at her, unable to do anything. " Why don't you enjoy it while it lasts? You can worry about your boyfriend's reaction later. " She said and I forced myself to breathe, trying to calm my quivering nerves. I glanced at Tyler who shrugged. "I told you unexpected things happen." He muttered and I groaned, facepalming myself. No... This can't be happening.... The bonfire night finally came to an end and everyone was in their cabins. I lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling as I thought of th
Patrick's P. O. V The game began and we started picking out golden eggs in the designated place we were told to search for it. I had barely said anything to anyone, too hurt and angry to speak. The things Skyler said wouldn't stop replaying in my head. " Patrick... Patrick!..." A voice filtered through my thoughts forcing me out of my reverie. I looked back and saw it was Skyler running towards me, her basket with some golden eggs while mine was empty. Knowing it was her, I scoffed and continued forward. " Patrick... Wait!" She called again, running and stopping in front of me. " What? " I mumbled. " Okay... I'm sorry. I understand if you're mad at me but I really didn't mean to break it out to you like that. I thought you knew. " " Well you did. And thanks for letting me know. You just added salt to my wounds. " I said and continued walking but she pushed me back, her hands on my chest. " Patrick, listen. I'm just looking out for you. And I'm sorry
