It was six in the morning and the day of the camping trip,Dallas and Mason had woken up early not wanting to disappoint their lecturers,they were already packed and ready to go. They went to their hostel and saw the studens already lined up and checking their names with the other lecturers. Mr Troy,the lecturer who addressed them in class yesterday cleared his throat and soon the chatterings of the students came to an halt."I appreciate you guys for waking up early to be here and for honoring my words,this camp trip is going to be for a week and it's purpose is for creating awareness, embracing nature and getting to know the wild and surviving in it,i honestly didn't think that college students also go for camping trips,I only thought it was for high schoolers but I guarantee that this trip is going to be memorable for us so please you students, in a single file enter into the bus so we can move early".As Mr Troy finished his speech,the students cheered loudly for him and started entering the bus, Dallas and Mason sat down together close to the window together and after all had settled down,the bus drove out of the compound off to their Journey. "Little Cooper wake up, we haven't even reached half of the journey and you want to sleep,please I don't want to be bored when you're sleeping" he said poking Dal's cheeks and pouting at him. "Just because I accepted to be friends doesn't mean you can tell me what to do and I didn't get enough sleep last night so that's why I am feeling sleepy,please don't disturb me Masie" he said putting his head back on Mason's shoulder and closing his eyes going back to sleep. " Little Cooper,look!,did you know that you have many haters with you here in the bus, they are all staring at you". And with that Dallas jolted up from sleep and he saw the annoying faces of Andy and his minions,Ms Kendricks, Mason's "friends"and all other students crushing on Mason. "Yeah Masie it's true,but you know I don't like your friend Ace and the other two,but Grayson and Mitchell are still a bit friendly". Mason sighed softly and nodded but in his mind he swore to protect him from them because he knew what they were capable Of. He turned Dallas face to his and finally spoke,"let's just enjoy this camping trip and not think about negative vibes hmm". His breath was on Dallas's face and it made breath hitch and his face turned into crimson red. "Oh!,is the great Dallas Cooper blushing hard just because of my one minute speech". Dallas replied back to his statement,""oh don't think I am falling for you,I am interested in a girl in our college and I still don't like gays". He said and smiled leaning his head on Mason's shoulder again. " Ok if you say so Little Cooper", he turned his head and saw Alex drooling on his roommate's shirt and his roommate pushing him back,he took a picture and decided to show it to Dallas later because he didn't want to incur his wrath and also he would use it later to threaten Alex his new profound friend. He sighed as he looked out of the window to see the moving objects but little did he know what was going to happen on the camping trip. Julius, Gabriel and Ace were already planning what to do Dallas and it was not going end well at all. ..................After some hours,the bus came to an halt and the driver announced that they had reached the destination,it was already night,the students began to Troup out of the bus to the base of the camping,the camping site was so spacious and accomdating. Then two camp counselors came to welcome them,gave them all the rules and the activities for their stay. Then they were asked to build their tents and choose their partners, Mason and Dallas partnered up together and decided to stay in the same tents as they were not comfortable with sleeping with other people.After setting up tents,they all built a camp fire and sat around it, singing songs, telling stories and eating Marshmallows( most important aspect). Mason and Dallas sneaked away without going noticed by anyone. They went behind a tree and sat down catching their breaths as they had ran away from the site without stopping.Mason cleared his throat gaining Dallas's attention wanting to ask a question. "Little Cooper,can..can you please tell me how and when you became a little?". The question made Dallas flare up and he was now angry, Mason sensed him and attempted to calm him down but Dallas wouldn't hear a word. "Just because I decide to be friends doesn't give you the right to dictate anything to me,you don't like us being friends right?,why do you wanna about my secret?,is it because you want me to fall for you?,I don't want to talk to you anymore and I am going back to the site" and with that,Dallas left Mason angrily leaving sad Mason,he didn't mean to trigger bad memories for Dallas. He remained there for some minutes to recollect his thoughts and went back to the site also. When he got back to camp, everyone had already dismissed,then he looked around for the last time and went into his tent,he saw that Dallas was already asleep.He laid down beside him and pecked his forehead and his eyes and whispered a "sorry and i love you baby" into Dallas's ear and turned to the other side then he slowly drifted to sleep. In the other tent Julius and Gabriel were planning on what they were going to do Dallas."it's a good thing they are not on good terms, now even stupid Mason won't be able to save you from me". He said laughing maniacally looking at each other
