Gwen's pov:
Just then my heart sunk as Duncan and Courtney walked in. Hand in hand. I wanted to puke. Camera's started flashing and gasps arose from every direction. Luckily Derek was right behind them. I took a detour so I would avoud Duncan and Courtney and rushed towards the door. "There you are! I've been waiting for so long, I said relieved that he was there. "Yeah sorry about that. You look stunning by the way", he said looking me up and down. "So do you mystery boy", I said smiling at him. "It's crazy you've been wanting to know my name from the day we met yet as soon as you learn it you don't wanna use it", he said after hearing his not so new nick name. "Well it's only fair" . "Well well well what do we have heeere", Chris said walking towards us. "Let's go", I said pulling Derek towards the door. "Not so fast camper. You're gonna have to give us some dets before you head back in", Chris said having Chef step in the doorway and shoving a mic in my face. "That's ex camper to you", I said mugging him. "Well we're obviously not gonna get any intel from Gwen so you, What's your name?"he said talking to Derek. Derek looked at me and smirked and then looked back at Chris. "Deez nuts", he said as he grabbed my arm and ran towards the parking lot. "I thought we left the deez nuts jokes back in 2016." "Well it was a golden oppurtunity", he said still running.
We stopped at a wooden gazebo that had pink and yellow flowers surrounding it. "Wow this looks nice", I said stepping inside. "Yeah I spotted it on my way in. You didn't seem like the social type so I thought we might be able to come here if you're feeling uneasy". " Wow that's so thougthful of you", I said. Suddenly, I forgot all about the show, the people I didn't like, and even Duncan whose been on my mind this whole summer. I felt at ease with Derek despite how childish he can be at times. Right now, this was all that mattered. We got lost in each other's eyes and I for some reason got the feeling in my stomach I got when I first met Trent. Just then Chef came walking towards us. "There you two escapees are", he said picking us up. "What's with the deranged cook?" Derek asked. "You know I'm right here right?" Chef said. Derek shrugged his shoulders and I facepalmed myself as we were headed back towards the place I wanted to escape so badly.
