Total Drama Reloaded {Completed}

You get me and I get you :)

Alejandro's POV

After my "interaction" with Heather, I decided to have some time by myself.

Sure I'm crazy about her but I also need my space just like she needs hers.

So I went to the sauna and got a back massage by one of the ladies who worked there and I am so sure that she winked at me.

It was disgusting because I could see a gold ring on her finger and she looks like she's in her middle 30s. I'm only 17!

At dinner, I sat by myself, munching on my food. Sure these guys are "cool", I guess, but I don't fit in with any of them. I cannot consider anyone of them my friends. We are merely acquaintances.

I watched as Owen was competing with Izzy in a food competition. Watching them snarfing down their food made me lose my appetite and I left to go to the beach.

Like Heather, I love water. The waves are so relaxing and when I am frustrated, upset or just lonely, I go there.

But I found Heather seated there, her legs crossed together, as she took deep breaths in and out.

"I'm sorry," I said, turning around. "I didn't know this place is taken,"

"No, no," Heather said softly. "You can come, if you'd like,"

I took her offer and sat beside her, inhaling the salty air. I took deep breaths in and out, trying to relax myself.

"Why are you here?" Heather asked me, and I hadn't noticed that she was watching me.

"I don't feel like staying with the others," I responded, lying on my back, my arms behind my head, staring blankly into space.

"But you're Alejandro. You're popular, everyone loves you," Heather joined me, by lying on her back.

"True, but that doesn't mean that I love them. I don't fit in with any of those guys," I said.

"I didn't expect to hear that from you. I mean have you looked at yourself lately? You're everyone's fantasy, be it a model, boyfriend...I thought you'd be like the jock," Heather responded quietly.

"Well, what about you?" I turned the attention to her. "You're the popular one, too. You're athletic, very beautiful-"

"But I'm the most hated. When everyone hears my name, they scowl at it. Everyone hates me Alejandro, they try to vote me off but I'm very clever to realize it and vote them off," Heather said in a quiet tone.

Heather sat up and ducked her head away. I, also, got up but to comfort her. I had no words to say, I'm not usually good with feelings and emoticons. I rubbed my hand across her back, to try to let her know that I was here.

I removed my hand and pressed my lips into a line. I watched as the tides rolled in, as I sat deep in thought. It was quiet between the two of us, until Heather spoke up.

"You know what? I'm going to let this off my chest because I can't stand to be this way anymore," Heather said frustrated. "I feel so, so...vulnerable!"

I nodded, to let her continue. I didn't know if I was doing the right thing but when she turned to face me, I knew I did.

"Everyone expects the sweet and shy girls like Beth to get all the friends an boys. Everyone thinks that popular people don't have a heart. Everyone thinks that the popular people have it all," Heather started. "But it's not true. First off, I wasn't even popular,"

This made my ears perk up.

My expression must have been really funny because Heather began to laugh. And not just her evil laugh, it was a true laugh, very sincere and sweet.
