cabin fever - jean k x reader

Distraction.

cw: strong language, smut. 😈

I find myself sitting in a semi circle. Surrounded by Halle, Mina, Violet, Gabi and Hitch. We're making bracelets for our morning activity. Gabi is clearly unimpressed. She didn't fail to mention multiple times how much she'd rather be at the baseball diamond, playing 2-pitch. The other girls don't seem to mind the mundane activity, and after the events of yesterday neither do I.

The whole camp is doing a group activity this afternoon, and I know that will be nothing but pure chaos so I keep my head down and focus on making my 7th bracelet of the day. I don't know what I'm going to do with all of these beautiful creations, give them to my friends I suppose.

"Can we please do something else?" Gabi whines.

Hitch tunes and looks at me. "Im with her. We have been doing this for almost 2 hours. Im sure the girls are getting bored."

I look up from the strings in my hand and face the girls. "I guess there's still time to go for a short hike before lunch. I don't think we have enough time to join any other activities. Would that be something you guys would want to do?" I ask.

All the heads facing me nod in agreement. I guess they weren't enjoying this as much as I thought they were.

We gather our things and head out. Hitch and I agree to take them up to Lake Titan. They won't be able to jump, obviously. But it's a sight to behold regardless. We begin our trek up the small incline and the mid morning heat is beginning to beat down on my skin. I'm regretting choosing leggings over bike shorts.

"Okay girls." I huff. "Just around this bend is a clearing that overlooks a big cliff. None of you are to walk to the edge. There's a bench we can sit in to rest, but we go no further than that."

The girls groan in what I can only assume is agreement. The heat is getting to all of us.

We make it to the clearing and the girls plop themselves down on the bench. It takes them a few moments to catch their breath, but soon the girls are staring out at the lake. Eyes wide. I feel the corners of my mouth tug upwards. It is an impressive view, and it's always fun to see the looks of the newbies faces when they see it for the first time.

"Holy shit! This is awesome!" Gabi announces. The other 3 girls giggle at her vulgarity.

I look over at Hitch, her head down in her phone, scrolling aimlessly. I walk over to her, keeping my eyes on the campers seated in awe on the bench.

"Can you be present, for once?" I ask, keeping my voice down.

Hitch hesitates a moment, and then looks up from her phone. "What?" She spits.

"Can you at least try to enjoy yourself. Connect with these girls Hitch, they're good kids. And you're missing out by being on your phone and leaving all the time."

"I am present." Hitch starts, sarcastically. "Just because I don't do things the same way as you, doesn't mean I'm not enjoying myself. Just mind your business for once. I didn't say a damn thing when you left the fire last night. Or when you stumbled into the cabin after everyone was asleep. Yet when I do anything you don't like it's world war fucking 3. Take yourself off your high horse, Y/N."

I stare back at Hitch, and then to the girls who are now wide eyed at a less than enticing view. They're staring at us. Hitch wasn't even trying to keep our conversation discreet. I give a weary smile to the girls and walk away from Hitch.

I take a seat on the bench next to Gabi. My shoulders slouched and my chin resting on my enclosed fist. "Pretty cool eh?" I ask whoever is listening.

Violet shakes her head. "Can we jump down?"
