It was morning already. I and Luis are picking some sticks in the woods to serve as a bonfire for the night. As we got back with a bunch of sticks. I suddenly felt someone looking at me.
As I glanced to the side of my eye. I saw Jake staring at me, when I glance at him he suddenly looked away. I was about to call him to thank him for what he did, but suddenly Mavis came and drag me to the other place.
"Lean! what happened last night?" Mavis asked.
"Nothing, I just got lost. Then Jake found me in the woods." I said
"No, not that. What I meant is. What happened to the both of you last night." she said with a smile.
I looked at her with confusion. Was she asking me what happened between us in the woods? It was nothing, I don't know why she kept on asking me about this. She asked me last night. It's getting annoying.
"Ahem, nothing. Nothing happened between us." I explained.
"Geez, that was boring," Mavis said with a disappointed look.
"I'll chitchat you later. I have to cook for our lunch. see you around."
I sighed in relief as she said that, Luis suddenly hugged me behind. He's such a sweet friend. We grow up together since we are 7. He always visits me at my house and plays with me. They thought that we are dating but, we are not. Luis has a secret that I'm the only one who knows.
"How's your sleep?" He asked.
"Well, it was fine actually," I said.
"Thank God nothing happened to you. I don't know what to do if something happened to you. Your mom and dad will kill me if they found out that you are in not good shape. I was also thankful that Jake found you. And both of you returned safely." He said and look at Jake that chilling in his folding bed with his sunglasses on.
"Yes, I was so scared that time. Then he suddenly shut my mouth. I was about to kick his balls. but then I realized by the smell of his cologne that he was Jake." I said while smiling.
"The lunch is ready!" Mavis shouted.
We gathered and grabbed our things for lunch. Mavis is a good cook. We ate dried fish, and soup. I don't know what they call it, but it's delicious. We talked about a lot of things. Like how luke broke up with his girlfriend when they are in 9th grade. It was embarrassing how the girl take revenge on him. Luke was such a playboy at that time. He dated most of the 8th-grade students. Also how Mavis almost had a heart attack when Chuckie suddenly appeared on her side, when we are in a hunted house. It was really funny seeing her get scared. Also, the time when Abbie cried about Khenjo because they broke up. But it was only a prank for me. I cried because they always pranking me. I was absent at that time, and Abbie was so upset because I was not there to comfort her. I got guilty so I decided to go to school. As I got there, I was shocked because they are ok. It was only a freaking prank! I got upset and didn't talk to them for a whole day. We just laugh because of that time.
"It's getting boring," Ryle said as he yawn.
"What about we play truth or dare?" Psy suggested.
"Yes! let's play that!" Mavis said with excitement.
We gathered again. Luke searched for a bottle so that we can use it for the game. Any minute, he found an empty bottle of San Mig Light.
Psy started to spin the bottle. I hope that It won't choose me. As the bottle stopped in front of Abbie. Luke asks her truth or dare. Then she chooses dare.
"I dare you to drink this bottle with no stopping." Ryle said as he grabbed a bottle of San Mig Light from the cooler.
Khenjo wants to object, but Abbie told him that it was fine. As she said that she began to drink it and she finished drinking in just 1 minute. We gave her a round of applause and she just laugh. Psy started to spin it again and it stopped in front of Luis. As they asked him, he chooses the truth.
"Do you love Lean?" Psy asked.
I was shocked. They thought that something are going on between us. Luis looked at me and take a deep breath as he says.
"Yes, I love lean. but as my little sister." As he said that he hugged me and kissed me on my forehead.
They just yawn and have a disappointed look on their face. I glance at Jake and he looked at me. I smiled at him but he just looked away. I got irritated and started to spin the bottle again. We look at the bottle and Jake. Then he just plainly answered, truth. I am about to ask him when suddenly Luke spoke.
"We all knew, except for Lean that Jake has had a crush on her since 8th grade." Luke explained.
I was shocked. Wait what? Does Jake have a crush on me? Does he mean he likes me? I was about to say something then suddenly Jake spoke.
"If you gonna ask me If I have feelings for Lean." He looked at me while saying that.
I can hear my heartbeat. I think my heart was gonna explode. As I looked at his beautiful eyes that now looking at mine. I felt butterflies in my stomach.
"Yes." He plainly said and looked away.
They all screamed and giggled. Luis slapped my shoulder while saying "yieeeeeeee". It hurts but I just smiled.
Since 8th grade, I also had a crush on him. I thought he doesn't like me because he always bullies me. I was about to say something to him but he suddenly stands up and walk away.
" Maybe, he's just shy to talk about his feelings for you." Luis said.
"I think so, but I am glad that he likes me too." I said.
