I hold onto Harry tightly as we speed down the dirt road again. But this time we are on quads with helmets. Its actually a lot funner than yesterdays jeep adventure for two reasons.

1) Im closer to Harry. My arms actually wrapped around his waist tightly to keep from falling.

2) the ride is surprisingly a lot less bumpy.

We pull up to the camp and the kids run out to us as Harry slows to a stop. I hop off the quad and take off my helemet as the kids wrap their arms around my waist and legs. I laugh as I lean over and place the helemt on the seat of the quad as Harry gets off of it.

"Come See!" A girl says as she grabs my hand and pulls me to the white tent.

They pull Harry along too and they lead us to one of the hospital beds in the back. I smile when I see who it is. Its the little girl that I rescued yesterday. I sit down on the foot of her bed as Harry sits on the other side.

"Thank you." She says and I smile at her.

"Your welcome. Are you feeling okay?" I ask her and she nods. "Oh! I almost forgot."

I take my book bag off and rummage through it to find the bag of bracelets. I pull out a pink and purple bracelet and grab her hand before putting it around her wrist. She smiles up at me and the kids around me start jumping up and down.

"I want one!" They shout and I laugh as I pull out a second baggie.

I hand it to Harry and we tell the kids to get in a line. Pretty soon all of the kids in the camp have a bracelet on and are smiling even brighter. Harry and I give out some to the workers and the volunteers, and we put the left overs on our wrists.

People take pictures of the kids posing with their bracelets and with Harry and I. Harry wraps his arm around my waist as we take turns taking pictures with the diffrent kids.

"So you guys are the ones that gave everyone those bracelets." My mom chuckles as she walks up to us.

"Yeah I think the kids are enjoying them." Harry says.

"Whos bright idea was it?" My mom asks and Harry points at me. "Of course it was. as you can see she has an obession with bracelets."

"Oh I know. Shes always playing with them and ive never seen her without them." Harry says as he ruffles my hair.

"I take them off, just not a lot." I say as I put my hair up in a ponytail.

"Right." Harry says and I stick my tongue out at him.

"You two are to cute." Mom says and Harry and I both blush.

"Well anyways, the kids want you guys outside to play footie." She says and we nod before walking out of the tent.

We go to the field and I start jogging as does Harry. I steal the ball from a kid and and the kid laughs before following me. We end up playing a even bigger game off footie than we did yesterday. More volunteers are playing and some of the childrens parents too. we pick teams with Harry and I against each other. Of course I pick the smaller scrawnier kids and he picks the bigger kids. The grownups end up splitting in half and and even amount goes to each side. People take videos and pictures of us as we run around laughing and having a good time.

A little girl runs up and hides behind me. i get down on one knee and turn to her.

"Get on my back." I tell her and her eyes light up as she jumps on me. She wraps her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist. I stand up and start jogging around with her on my back. She giggles in my ear as the other kids scream for a piggy back ride too. Soon almost every volunteer has a kid on their back.

We must look crazy by the way we're running and stumbling.

After a while I get tired and I put the girl down. My phone drops onto the ground and starts playing Megan Trainer. The kids start dancing and talking excitedly about the music.

I turn it up and Harry and I start singing along to all about that bass. Soon we have all of the volunteers, the workers, and a few kids singing the lyrics. Harry takes my hand and we start dancing together as waking up in vegas by katy perry comes on. We sing together as the kids dance around us.

This must be the most fun they've had in a while. I take my phone and turn my back from the kids.

"Selfie time!" I yell and the kids look around, obviuosly confused. "Pictures."

They all huddle around and smile at the camera. I snap a few pictures before slipping my phone back in my pocket. Harry pulls me into a random hug and I laugh before hugging him back.

"I wish I had your heart." He whispers.

I pull away. "You do. Look at all these smiling kids. Their smiling because of you." I gesture to all of the smiling and happy kids.

He shakes his head. "Their happy because of you."

"Its because of both of us!" I conclude and he smiles at me.

"Your to nice." He says as he pulls me into another hug.

"You like hugging me dont you?" I ask him.

"Yeah I do." He chuckles.

I like hugging him too.
