Since my encounter with Livia which I told no one, I've been receiving glances and evil stares. Nathan coming to seat with us on our table adds to the stares. Everyone wants to know who I am and why I'm spending more time with Nathan.
I even realized that only a few know that Zoey is Nathan's sister, who would? They are nothing alike except for the same hazel captivating eyes.
"Jamie the cute guy is staring again?"
"Which cute guy?" Jamie asks acting like she understands nothing.
"The one with the blond hair." Steven answers wiggling his eyes.
"Tell me you two did more than help you with practice." Jamie's eyes glint as she sends deadly glares towards Steven.
"You were helped in practice? And we didn't hear the details? Why do I feel offended Mira?" Zoe asks me though the question directs to Jamie the saint.
Like a good friend I support Zoey just to piss Jamie more. "We feel offended because Jamie dearest pretends to be the goodie two shoes of the group while she's not."
"Uhh I don't think I gave any of you something to think that I'm a goodie two shoes."
She's right about that.
"Anyways back to you being helped by the cute guy." Jamie scowls at Zoey who is as curious as the rest of us.
"It was nothing serious, I was trying some new moves and he turned out to be there too."
"Or he saw you and decided to stalk." I point out with Zoey backing me up.
"And how does it involve you being helped to cheerlead?" Zoey continues.
"Because he too is a dancer." She says with a finality tone so we all drop it and talk about something else.
"Maybe we should do a group party. It's been long since we all got the juices from each other." We all groan at what Steven suggests.
"Steven I swear you've ruined the word juice for me." This time Jamie says making us agree with her.
"Plus you just want to tell us that you finally kissed Zoey here."
"You did what?" This time Nathan asks with a scary look on his face.
Oops.
"You guys didn't tell him yet?" Jamie asks not realizing that she's adding fuel to the fire. I kick her under the table giving her a stern look which she returns with a shrug.
Typical Jamaica.
"No they didn't." Nathan grirs out. This is not good at all.
"When were you planning on telling me? Until I find the two of you humping each other." Zoey just rolls her eyes at what his brother says.
"You're causing a scene." She says with a normal voice. No panick, nothing.
"I don't care. Zoey what the hell." She only exhales before looking at Nathan dead in the eyes.
"It was a kiss, he didn't make any other move and I honestly don't know why because I'm not a person to be kissed and be ghosted up the next day." She says this while looking at Steven. "Also have you seen the way you're acting right now? What would have happened if I told you the exact day he kissed me you'd have flipped probably hitting the poor guy now chill. It was nothing at least that's what I've noticed so far." With that she gets up taking her empty plate to the washing area then left us to wonder on what she just said.
"That was intense." Jamie says and continues eating. I swear this girl doesn't care about awkward moments.
Nathan tries to get up but I stop him.
"It's best if we talk to her first. You'll probably have to apologise though." I tell him. He only groans looking at Steven with a deadly glare.
"You are a fucking asshole Steven." Jamie says while still eating of course not even bothering to look up to Steven.
"Don't you think I know it?" Steven gets up leaving.
"That was harsh Jamaica." I tell her.
"Well he had it coming." She shrugs. "And you missy have to tell me why those bimbos are giving you creepy eyes. Ooh wait don't answer that. It's probably because Nate here decided that we are better friends than them. She answers herself." she gets up. "Well let's get going Zoey needs comfort after her dick brother.." "I'm still here." Nathan cuts in. "And the crush crash her." I roll my eyes at what she says. "See what I did there?" I exhale.
"Yes I did." I answer her and follow her out of the cafeteria.
...
"Tommorow there's a marathon event, probably singing too. We are a month a way from the camp being over." Zoey speaks up.
"You know we haven't even gone ski-diving. How can people believe that we went camp?" Jamie buts in.
"Maybe we should set a to do list on what we'll do in camp for the next month."
"Okay. I'll start." Jamie says and everyone groans she always comes up with wierd ideas.
"How about everyone gets a paper and writes all the things she or he wants to do for the next month then we can put that in a list." Zoey suggests and everyone agrees.
Now that everything is clear and the air is less tense compared to earlier, well except for Steven and Zoey who haven't talked yet. Everything is just fine.
"Okay I'm done can I see what all of you have written?" Jamie speaks up.
We all give the notes to her and she starts reading them.
"Okay there's ski-diving, camp fire, drunk swimming, we'll only make the pool gross but all the puke." Zoey and I make ugly faces after imagining how all this would be.
"Okay, fishing this is lame, karaoke, truth or dare, ooh this I will do. Well dig so many kinky secrets let's change it to drink or dare, pranking, stripper for the night...okay who wrote this." She pauses for a bit. "Guys we aren't your source of pleasure."
"Nate dear?" Nate looks at Jamie like she's crazy. "Why didn't you write anything on your note?"
He just shrugs. Jamie huffs. 'How do you even deal with him?' she mutters.
I just smack her head causing her to send me a glare. But let's me be.
"Okay so since you guys had opportunities of a life time and listed stupid things I'll help all if you out."
"The list will be prepared with some additional stuff of course and will be used starting from next Monday. Meeting adjurned."
"Uhh guys how will tommorow work for me I need a volunteer to run for me."
"You could ask Nate for help I'm sure he'll do more than helping you to run."
I just scowl at Steven and get up heading straight to my cabin.
"It's a rude thing going without saying goodnight."
"Well I'm going to rest before I throw up tomorrow during the marathon."
"You can just hide here." Nathan suggests.
"I could and risk being taken to your beloved Creston no thank you."
"You know I've been wondering what's keeping you here until now? I mean don't get me wrong by now you would have already left the camp." Nathan just smirks at my question before moving closer to me.
"Someone is holding me back."
Please say it's me. Or don't say it's me point it out..
I look at him waiting for another explaination, something more.
But he just looks at me and starts laughing. "The look on your face was priceless Cookie. I'm talking about the coach now that I'm senior and the best I can't go running now can I?"
Stupid Mira what did you think?
"Of course. Goodnight Nathan." What he does next surprises me. He kisses the edge of my lips.
"Goodnight Cookie." He turns leaving puzzled as usual.
