Pacing outside the camper in the early morning, I was trying to patiently wait for the girls to wake up. Well, more specifically Courtney or Lindsay. But preferably Courtney as she's always good company to have around.

Pacing thrice more across the field, the girls side opened where Courtney finally stepped outside, a yawn protruding from her mouth as she tightened her robe across her stomach.

"Courtney, hey!" my voice sounded a little nervous to where I quickly tried to cover it up by clearing my throat. "W-wanna shower together?"

"Huh?" she blinked confused.

"I-I mean want to go to the showers together?" I corrected myself quickly.

"You waited for me to wake up to take a shower?" she raised an eyebrow looking at me suspiciously, her not saying anything for a moment as she stared. "Sure! My hair is a little oily so it's time to wash it anyway."

"Cool. Walk together?" I ask her who starts walking with me to the washrooms. It was short and quiet as we made our way to the showers.

There wasn't much conversation. Not like there was anything to say, but I just didn't want to go shower alone. Ever since my birthday, I couldn't walk in there alone again. No matter the time of day or night, I couldn't help but feel that Justin was around the corner waiting.

Heather would usually go with me after the matter of it happening. She hated waking up early but she would go with me anyway. But she was gone now and I had no one to come with me to the washrooms.

Knowing I could never go through that again, keeping myself company was the best option. Justin would never be so bold to attack if there's someone else with me. Then again, he was boldly speaking about me to the guys. Then again, they're also incredible stupid.

"Ten more seconds! Biggest burrito wins." announced Duncan standing on top of the table as everyone else were building their own makeshifts burrito. Courtney was messing with her PDA while I was busy slurping down my cup of apple juice.

"Think I'd make a good reality-show host?" Duncan asked Courtney. She glared up at him. I wanted to laugh. Duncan as host? He'd be just as bad as Chris McLean, if not worse. Oh, definitely worse.

"Excuse me, I'm strategizing." she scoffed before turning her attention back to her device.

"Ooh!" Duncan taunted her.

"If you'd strategize, maybe you could manage something more articulate." Courtney barked.

"Nice one." I smirked before our hands collided together in a high five, smirking up at the delinquent who scowled down at the two of us.

"Maybe you could blah blah blah—"

"Times up, co-competitors." said Harold as the beeping went off on his watch.

"Hey, Linds, what do you got?" asked Duncan.

"Look!" said Lindsay holding up a plate of two burritos held together with a friendship bracelet. "Beth and I are BFF. Burrito friends forever!" They said that last sentence together. Why is that disturbingly sweet?

"Did you belt your burrito?" asked Duncan.

"It's a custom friendship bracelet I made, to join our two burritos for always and ever." said Beth.

"Weird, disturbing, but biggish. It qualifies." said Duncan before walking over to Harold. "Geek wad, you manage to make yours any bigger?"

"I give you the luscious LeShawna." said Harold before holding up a plate of a deranged burrito. I couldn't help but stifle a laugh.
