"So...what do we do now?" I asked Michael, sitting down on one of the log seats. "Mmm...campfire," he asked. I nodded my head enthusiastically. Michael signed to Luke who went to create the fire while he came and sat beside me. "You look cold," he said wrapping his arms around me. "Thanks," I mumbled snuggling into his chest. Luke came to join us once he had set the fire. We sat for a few minutes before I felt Michael stand up. He came back a few seconds later with some clean skewers and marshmallows. Michael passed them out, earning a death state from Luke when he was only given 2 marshmallows.

We sat just roasting marshmallows and talking for a while before Luke spoke loudly, " want to play chubby bunny?" I laughed at his suggestion to play such a childish game but agreed none the less as I still loved it. I grabbed a packet of marshmallows from Michael. "Hey, don't touch my marshmallows," he said grabbing them back. "What are you gonna do about it?" I teased. "This," shouted Michael, dropping the marshmallows and tickling me. "Ok,ok. I've learned my lesson. I'll never mess with you again," I giggled. I just wanted him to stop, I was really ticklish. Michael stood up and held the pack of marshmallows above his head. " I am victorious once again," bellowed Michael, making his voice as low as possible. " Right, whatever you say,"Luke said sarcastically, " Now are we playing chubby bunny or not?"

I was sitting on Michaels lap cuddling into him as I was freezing. We had finished our game of chubby bunny and had moved onto a game of truth or dare. " Truth or dare," Luke asked Michael. "Dare," Michael replied. "I .. dare you to ...... jump into the lake in your underwear!" Said Luke who seemed quite impressed with the dare he had thought up. "Ok....but ..... just give me two minutes," said Michael before turning to me , truth or dare? " " Mmm....let's go for a dare," I answered feeling adventurous but as soon as he spoke I knew I had made the wrong decision. " I dare you to jump into the lake with me......in your underwear," said Michael. I looked at him shocked for a few seconds but as I was about to speak Luke interrupted me, " And before you try to back out, you can't ." " I really hate you two," I said as I started to remove my shoes.

A few minutes later Michael and I stood side by side at the edge of the lake mentally preparing ourselves to jump in, and the fact that I felt extremely self conscious wasn't exactly helping. "Ok, on the count of three we jump. Agreed ? " Michael asked taking my hand in his own. "Agreed" I answered. We both stated counting up to three and before I knew it my whole body was submerged under water. It sent a shock through my body and I felt freezing but it wasn't as bad as I expected, that was until I came above water.

I resurfaced to find Michael coming back up as well. We started talking until we heard someone clear their throat. Mr. Caleb, the person who ran the camp was standing in the clearing in front of us staring strait at us. "Well, out you come, " he shouted throwing us a death glare. Michael looked at me before grabbing my hand and pulling me back onto dry land. Mr. Caleb gasped as he saw our appearance.

There was a lot of explaining to do.
