Endless Summer | IN PROGRESS

Chapter 7- Let the games begin

beep, Beep, BEAP, BEEEPPPPPP

I rolled over my bed, turning off my alarm, annoyed. I groaned whilst I held my hands in the air and streched. I got up from my bed and headed to the shower.

After I took my long morning shower, I headed out for my morning run. I had to be in shape, because if I wasn't, I would go crazyyy insecure. More than I already am.

I looked at the time on my phone, 7:00, oh my god, I need to get back to wake these lazy girls up! I started sprinting towards our cabin which was quite far away from where I was. When I returned, I found all of them already up and ready. And strangely, I found Ben and Jonah here too?

-"Uh, what's going on?" I said, breathlessly. When I suddenly saw Dean coming out from our bathroom, with a big box. My heart skipped a beat by the sight of him, I could feel a strong knot tied up in my throut. Oh god, what the hell is wrong with me?

-"Nothing, Federico told us to send you guys some spare t-shirts just in case." Ben said, taking the box from Dean's hands and handing it to me. I quickly glanced Dean for a moment and noticed him looking at Emily, winking. Emily let our a small giggle and I rolled my eyes, looking back at Ben.

-"Well thank you! W-where's Lucas?" I said, to which Dean immediately looked back at me, confused. I could feel my stomach flipping, why is Dean having this efect on me?

-"He's just talking to Federico for a sec" Jonah stated, to which I uncomfortable smiled. Then there was a very akward silence filling every corner in the room when you can guess who broke it.

-"Okay, come on, we need to help give them out to the girls in the room next door" Dean urged, pulling Jonah and Ben by the arms, taking them out the door.

Uh, weirdo's.

It was already 8:00 a.m. and we were leaving the cafeteria from breakfast. We were all supposed to meet where the bonfire was the other night at 8:15 a.m. So we had 15 minutes to talk, like, girl talk. I have never had a girl talk. Us four sat down on a picnic table in the grass and started chatting for a while now.

-"Okay, who do you guys think is the cutest out of all?" Abby asked, smirking at all of us.

-"Lucas" Scarlett's response leaving Abby speechless.

-"Lucas is mine, I thought we were okay with that" She said, still shocked.

-"relax I'm just messing around, I actually prefer Jonah" I looked at Scarlety, raising an eyebrow at her. To which she did her 'what?' expression. I laughed for a bit until the monitors started telling us to head to the bonfire. To which we all separated and sat down in our 3 groups. All of our Wisteria group was wearing the purple shirt they gave us this morning. And Conifers, and hardwoods. I was the only one not wearing it. But thank god Emlily came to rescue and gave me one. I put it on and tied a small not because of how big it was.

-"HELLO EVERYBODY! TODAY WE ARE GOING TO BE PLAYING OUR FIRST GAME! CATCH THE FLAG!" Federico shouted, making all of us cheer and smile.

This will be interesting...

I hope so.

****

Wisteria all got into positions and we hid the flag somewhere safe, near the picnic area, behind some trees. I was the one put in charge of making sure no other team would catch our flag. I am literally shaking right now, I don't even know how this game works!

I started getting the hang of it when some conifers tried to come and get it. I tagged all of them; I was always quite fast. This was fun! Then a hardwood got closer, I tagged them. Hah! Easy peasy!

There was a deep silence in the area. Too much silence. I suddenly heard a bush move. Someone was trying to come unprepared huh? I tried looking for where the sound came from, but nothing. Until I saw Dean, standing right infront of me, some 5 meters away or something. He was looking at me disgusted as if he were about to vomit his eyes out of his sockets.

-"We meet again" I said, kneeing down to get ready to tag him. I tried reaching his tag, but he quickly moved away. This is gonna be hard. I reached again, and again, and again. But he succesfully dogged all my moves.

I saw him getting past me and towards the flag. I quickly ran up to him and nocked him down, me accidetly falling down with him. My chest against his back. I could hear his own heartbeat right about now.

I quickly got up and tagged him. He got up too and looked at me as if he just saw a ghost, a hint of shock in his expression.

-"You never give up do you?" He finally talked, breathless, making me sigh heavily.

-"Not for whats worth it." I said, pushing him to the side because he was eliminated. I got back to my place and prepared for another person to come. But no one came. I looked back at Dean, who was still glaring at my direction. Locking my eyes with his. "What are you staring at?"

-"Why so many questions?" He asked, shock filling inside of me.

-"I literally only asked you one" I defended, annoyance in my tone.

-"Okay, let me ask you one too." he started, looking at me with a mix of annoyance and flirty, "can I get the phone number?" He said, making my heart triple the sincronised beat inside my chest.

-"W-what number?" I said, akwardly.

-"Abby's number" He said in a 'duh' tone. I don't know why but that kind of dissapointed me in a way.

-"Later, asshole" I said, leaving him alone there, still staring at me as I walk away.

  Some minutes later I heard an air horn coming from the distance. I guess we got a flag. I prepared for our next round when suddenly Lucas came towards me, sprinting. He stopped right in front if me as he panted.

-"Brooke, we need to talk" He stated, making me even more confused. What did he want?
