The next morning came by so quickly as if the moon was in a hurry to leave his shift.it was a sunny morning and for all the campers,no one was ready to wake up because they had all slept late chatting around the camp fire and drinking beer to pass the night away.The previous night,they had all waited for Mason and Dallas but since there was no sign of them,they all went to sleep. "Wake up campers!, remember we have a lot of activities for today and time is not getting any slower so get your young butts out of your tents and come out now!".The second camp mistress,Mrs Jones shouted from outside getting a groan from the students. They all got out from inside their tents except Mason and Dallas.They began clearing the area from last night activities. "They are two boys still remaining in the tent,am I right?",she asked Alex who was continuingly yawning for what it seemed like a million time. "Yes of course and I can direct you to them now but first let's get a bucket of water to wake them up,if you know what I mean?". He said winking at the second camp master,Mrs Jones."I like you already kid,go to the stream at the back of the camp site and fetch a bucket,no....make it to two buckets. As soon as she told him,Alex skipped happily to get the water because he was yearning for some drama. After some time,he came back with the buckets filled with water and handed one over to Mrs Jones and they quietly approached their tent,gently opened the entrance through the net hole there and found the both of them still sleeping.They couldn't help but coo over their cuteness,the pillow they had used to create boundaries between themselves had been long forgotten because they were hugging each other as if their lives depended on it.It was such a cute sight of Dallas nuzzling his head in Mason's chest. Alex quickly searched his pocket and took his out and started taking photos.After he was satisfied,he put it back in his pocket and the two of them looked at each other and winked at themselves readying their buckets. ONE TWO THREE SPLASH In a twinkle of an eye,Mason and Dallas jumped off their butts only to find Mrs Jones and Alex laughing hysterically at them.She left the tent not without saying a "come out fast or am gonna come with ten buckets of water".Alex immediately ran behind her because he knew the both of them would pounce on him with the way they were shooting dark glares towards him. Dallas stood up and yanked the sheets off Mason's body,he was still probably angry because of last night.He went outside to dry the sheets and came back inside but Mason was not gonna let that misunderstanding get between them because he had worked hard for it. "Little Cooper, good morning",he said as he wrapped his hands around arms who was trying to get something from his bag. "Please don't talk to me,I don't want to hear a peep from you now leave me to what I was doing and if you can stay quiet, you are welcome to go outside." He said folding his hands across his chest. "Am sorry for what I said earlier,I didn't mean to trigger bad memories or make you feel income but you fighting with me is breaking my heart,I can't stand to see you staying away from me and ignoring me,please make a little space in your hearts and forgive me". Dallas looked at him,his cheeks burning red but wasn't noticable to Mason because he was emotional at that moment.He bit his lips and poked his mouth. "Ok let's not fight anymore but promise to stay within your boundaries and...". Mason quickly interupted by saying" okay I have heard I won't and now come gimme a hug,I have missed you so much",he said grinning from ear to ear and stretched his hands for Dallas but he received a tap on his head instead. "Let's go out,they are probably waiting for us now and we don't want to keep waiting so let's move our butts",he said dragging Mason out of the tent. "Look who decided to come out",Alex said teasingly to them.they remembered the water incident and slowly started approaching Alex but their attentions were diverted to the camp counselor who blew a whistle loudly." "Thank you,thank you so for hearing me out.So for today,we are going ingredients hunting in twos and if you don't come back with something edible then you are so gonna head to hunger town,so do your best everybody and see you all at noon," As the camp counselor said, they all picked each other in twos and as usual Mason and Dallas were on the same time while Alex and his roommate,Kai,were on the same team too. Julius, Gabriel,Mitchell and Grayson were paired together so Ace had to look for another partner so he partnered up with Andy. "Julius what's our next step going to be remember,we must get rid of everything,"Gabriel said to Julius who was smiling like a creep. "Yes,once and for all",he said laughing maniacally and set off to their own quest.*********************************************"Woohoo,we did it and we are not gonna be hungry today",Mason said picking the last ingredient. "Ouch,how are you so energetic when I am so tired,"he said scrunching his nose that Mason just pinched. "You can shout all you want later but let's head back to the camp site now the deadline will still be over",he said dragging poor Dallas who had barely sat and ran off the site. "Congratulations everyone,you all came back with ingredients so let everyone head there everyone",he said pointing his index finger at a place where the top of it said Camp cuisine. After everyone had started cooking their food with their partners,they began to eat. Mason and Dallas also dished their food and as Dallas wanted to put the spoon in his mouth, Kayla came and poured Dallas's food away on his body. "Oops sorry,maybe next time",she said and with that,she left. Mason stood up and wanted to go after her but Dallas shook his head because it was too painful for him and told him not to. They both went to Lake and Dallas took a bath in it because it had started to peel. Later Mason went to collect and Ice from the counselor and waited for Dallas to change and stayed in the tent with him. The hotness of the food had left an ugly mark on his upper body, it made him whimper then Mason brought out a pain relief which he drank hesitatingly and he fell asleep shortly. "You are going through this pain because of me", Mason said tracing the burnt mark on Dallas's body. He remembered his food from before and realized that he didn't eat it and they were also few ingredients remaining so he didn't bother much again for Dallas. He rest his head on Dal's legs and before he knows,he also fell asleep. ********************************************"Dallas is gonna get what's coming to him", Julius Gabriel and Ace said chuckling darkly and smirking.
