You tossed the popsicle stick in the trash can. Your eyes caught Amanda's angered expression. Her eyebrows were furrowed and her eyes were like fire. You glanced at her confused and went back to your seating spot, listening to the girls conversation. The wind blew a blissful breeze making all of the heat that was build up and droplets of sweat running down your forehead away.

You sighed in relief laying your head against the wooden table. Amanda never took your eyes off of you. She huffed and crossed her arms over her chest as her "friend", Ellie,  continued fanning her. "I can't believe that Michael is going with her! She's ugly" she remarked, glancing back at you. "She seems pretty to me-" Amanda shot her a glare "I mean you are way prettier than her!" she saved herself as Amanda nodded her head in agreement.

"Now what to do about our little Y/n" Amanda scoffed as she thinks hard enough for a hole to be burning on the back of her head. "Guess we have to show little miss steal my boyfriend who he belongs too" she smirked and stood up, swaying her hips over to Michael. "Oh Michael~!" she shouted loud enough to catch your attention. She batted her eyes as she threw herself on him "Oh how I missed you so much baby!" she smothered him with kisses and he cringed. He pushed her away "Oh yeah I missed you too" he scratched the back of his neck.

You felt a pain inside of you, and you hated it so much. You did not want to admit it. It was Michael we were talking about! You couldn't just catch feelings for a guy who tormented you throughout your whole life! You rolled your eyes and frowned as her loud annoying voice echoed throughout the campsite. "How are you suppose to fake date with that b*tch" Jennifer scoffed. "Language! Elizabeth is still a child" Charlie covered Elizabeth's ears. "Oh please it's
just a word" Jennifer replied shaking her head.

"It's fine! I don't even like him. He's too ugly and thinks so highly of himself. Plus why do I even wanna deal with him? He has an obsessive girl chasing after him like a dog" You frowned crossing your arms over your chest. "Woah- didn't need to go that bad" Charlie widened her eyes, i'm shocked of how upset you have gotten. You rolled your eyes and sighed, standing up "I'm going for a walk" you said and began walking down the trail.

You kicked a couple of pebbles ranting to yourself "Who would want that stupid jerk anyways" you sighed loudly. "I thought you would want this stupid jerk. Michael came from behind you. You jumped back "You scared me!" you furrowed your eyebrows pushing him softly. "Sorry sweetheart" he ruffled your hair. "Don't call me that" you pushed his arm away. "I thought you liked my nicknames" he raised his brow. "Well I-I don't!" you stammered, walking faster. "Hey wait up!" he called to you before jogging to your pace.

"What's up with you today? You aren't yourself" he said with confusion in his tone of voice. He brought his hand up and scratched the back of his neck. "Nothing! Everything's completely fine! See? The sun is shining the sky is clear!" you waved your hands in the air exaggerating. Michael chuckled "Are you jealous?" he bent down to your level, squinting his eyes. You pushed his face away "Why would I be jealous? You are a stupid fox anyways!" you shouted "And you're a dumb bunny" he booped your nose, sticking his hands in the pockets of his jean shorts. "I am not a dumb bunny" you furrowed your eyebrows "Uh huh. And I'm the president of the UK." He rolled his eyes playfully.
