Chapter 4 - Camping

We arrived at the camping grounds sometime past noon. I was in my seat and didnt talk to anyone the ride to the camping site. Everyone notice but didnt ask anything. I was never one for silence and they knew.

When everyone was filing out of the bus I just sat there contemplating whether or not to go. "Are you coming or not?"asked a voice i didnt want to hear. It was smooth and silky with a Russian accent. Fuck off was my intial thought.

I stiffled a sigh and opening the door jumped out of the bus. I looked around. We were surrounded by tall trees. The area smelled of pine trees and wet leaves. I turned and spotted my friends building tents. We were told to share tents. I didnt know if Lissy wanted to share or not seeing as she and her boyfriend were building theirs.

"Who are you sharing with?"asked Dimitri. I didnt even know. I just stared at him and he waited for an answer. I turned back to Alicia and Phillip building their tent and then saw that Jesse and Viktoria were building a tent so i guess they were sharing also. I sighed. "No one it seems," I said.

I turned and headed to the bus. I was standing at the back and trying to lift my bag and tent when an extra set of hands helped me. "You and I will share," he told me gruffly. I was planning to share with Alicia so i had packed my shorts and vest. I guess that wont be working. Ugh.

I looked at him and just shrugged. Guess i wouldnt be doing anything fun in the tent. If i were with Jesse or Alicia we would be planning pranks and all those fun stuff but nope, I'll be stuck with a Russian jailer. Life has a twisted sense of humor. One i dont like.

I offered to help build the tent but he just declined me everytime. I got frustrated and just went myself. I was bent over when someone violently jerked me causing me to lose balance. I fell and pulled whoever it was with me. I instantly regretted it. Hovering over me, was Dimitri. A pissed off looking Dimitri. I was in big trouble.

His scent enveloped me. He smelt really good and oh god he was so close. He was probably trying not to kill me right then and there. He sighed and got up. I mean he didnt have to worry. He wasnt the one on the ground. I was in all sorts of pain.

I got up and walked away. As a matter of fact i walked away from everyone. I stood on the edge of a pond. Its water was a kind of greenish brownish colour. The water rippled with the slight breeze and after gazing for a while, i felt calm. It was nice.

"RACHEL!"called an accented voice. I turned to see Dimitri walking towards me. He seemed stressed but instantly calmed when he saw me. Though i think that would soon change to anger. When he reached me i turned back and faced the pond. He didnt say anything or do anything.

I sneaked a glance at him. He was staring at me. Like he was expecting me to say something. I groaned at looked him in the eye. "Stop staring at me! I know I am not good looking you dont have to rub it in my face you know!" I whisper yelled. I spun around and was walking up the path when he pulled me.

I hit hard into his body. I was stunned. I didnt breathe. My brain shut down. I couldnt think or do anything. This is going to be an interesting camping trip
