"How can you explain this Ms. Sommers?"
"Uh! I don't think that there's any further explanation. And also I can't bare lying or making up any other excuse." I tell him looking at him pleading with him to just let this pass by.
"So what your trying to say is that you just decided to skip the marathon to go hook up with this guy."
"I scoff."
"NO." I say louder than expected. "No, I didnt hook up with him, oh how he wishes though." I repeat and I swear I can see a small smile forming on Lucas' face but he suppresses it.
"Look I'm sorry I bolted out on the team but let's be honest, I don't run. I can't run at all. I'm a liability in running." I tell him with a shrug.
"But I can write a new song for the aim of team spirit." I suggest with my charming smile.
"It's camp and you of all people are the laziest in my team. So to make sure that all people participate I will be giving you another job for you to do." Oh oh.
"Or I could just make sure that our lady singer miss Belle, goes out on a date with you." I offer.
"There's no bribing your way out of this young lady."
"Think of it clearly it will be a win-win for the both of us." I suggest again.
He just shakes his head in denial.
"But I thought I was your favorite."
"I have no favorites."
"Liar." I state with a sweet smile.
"No changing the subject. So you'll help clean the cafeteria with the other three lazy people like you."
"What? That's not fair have you seen the size of the cafeteria. Why not help the cook to serve for a day."
"What will you learn then?"
"Uh the same as cleaning the cafeteria. Can you just lessen my punishment." I pout. Hut then smile again.
"I have an idea."
"I'm listening." I smile leaning towards him.
"How about a week waking up early and helping you prepare for the day before meeting other campers."
He stays quiet probably considering it and then gives me a short nod off acceptance.
I shriek pulling him into a hug which I know is very uncomfortable to him.
"Well if I'm not your favorite. You are mine." I tell him with a finality tone
"Uhuh." That's all he says as he collects his papers. I head to the door but turn as soon as he calls my name.
"You're still going to help me get a date with Belle." I smirk at him.
"No."
"No?"
"No."
"Why would you say that?" Ha! How the tables have turned.
"Well I could change it you know what I want to hear." I tell him while playing with my fingers, you know acting all innocent and stuff.
He groans excessively before he mutters the words quietly.
"You're my favorite Mia Sommers."
And I smile. "Now was that hard?" I say stepping out of his door leaving unlocked knowing fully well it pisses him off.
But also because Ms. Belle is seen from a far doing exercises with the Legends I think.
Oh someone's gonna kill me for sure.
But for now I'll stick to being the favorite.
...
It's been days since Nathan and I's talk in the locker room and I'm getting anxious.
Did I push him away? No that can't be true he didn't try anything with me. He didn't pursue me.
'Well you shut all the doors when you said you don't want any relationship soon.'
Still doesn't give him a reason to act like that?
'So you want him to pursue you?'
Why am I even talking to you again? You always mock me.
'I'm your brain silly I must mock you. Admit it though you just miss him.'
That I do.
'So what are you waiting for fall him or text him whatever works.'
I tsk.
As if I have his number.
'Well isn't that a shame. You don't have a number of someone who you've talked to longer than any other guy?'
Don't give me one of your sassy talks please.
'Oh but I will. The first rule is to ask for the number so that if the sex is good then at least you know where to find him for another banging.'
I just roll my eyes.
It's not like he's my one night stand I'll just ask for his phone number from Zoey.
'Yeah what will you say? Sorry can I get your brother's phone because I was too much of a chicken to ask for it by myself.'
Yeah I'll just skip the insulting parts but that's pretty good.
"Is this Mia's time with her brain? What are the two of you bickering about now?" I answer Jamie without looking at her.
"Nothing much, I just have to ask Zoey for her brother's number." I say looking up with a smile but that soon turns into an eye buldge when I see Zoey look at me with a smug on her face.
"So you don't have my brother's phone number. Well he has yours I can just tell him to text you." She pulled out her phone and starts typing something real quick before she returns her phone to her jacket.
"Only you my bestie who talks to people, clicks then decides it's best to keep her phone number to herself." Jamie says while she shuffles through the kitchen.
I hear her but don't say a thing, am too busy processing what Zoey's done before I hear notifications from my phone.
'Cookie you alright? Zoey's telling me that you've been called at Mr. Creston's office. '
I look at the rest twice, thrice even just to make sure I've really been texted with Nathan for the first time.
My fingers meet the keyboard to type a reply. I let out a high scream when I see what I've texted.
'I miss you so much.' These five words are staring at me probably laughing at my desperation to have him near me.
Ughh!! I'm so done for.
