Taylor's POV

"We're here!" Selena announced from the drivers seat as she pulled into the campsite, reaching over to turn down the blaring radio we'd had on the whole way. 

I was so glad for this camping trip. Security had been a nightmare when Selena and I had suggested it, and it had taken months for them to agree to it, but eventually they'd relented. There were eight of us going; Selena, me, Jack, Ed, Kam, Travis, Abigail, and Khalen - Kam's brother. Kam had introduced me to his brother and Travis a few months back, and all of us had really hit it off. It was kind of a mish mash of friends we had on this trip, but it was going to be fun. 

"I am totally not sharing a tent with any of you girls." Jack leaned forwards from where he was sitting in the backseat. 

"Bold you to assume we want you in our tent." I told him, and he smacked my arm lightly. "Don't worry. We're going full middle school rules. Two big tents, guys and girls."

"Damn, so you guys are getting more space. There's only three of you." Jack protested, and I laughed.

"Big deal." I poked my tongue out at him and then jumped out of the car before he could retaliate. 

Abigail and Selena laughed at us as Jack and I bickered - all four of us starting to unpack the car. The other four were still on their way so we started setting up the tents without them, wanting to get a head start. They were on food, so had probably stopped at a grocery store on the way. 

Selena and I started singing as we set up one of the tents together, dancing around each other. The others pulled up only fifteen minutes after us, and my breath stuck in my throat as I caught a glimpse of Travis watching me as he got out. I looked away immediately, joining in with the next song Selena had started to sing. I didn't need anyone seeing the way we looked at each other.

Travis and I had been, well, I didn't really know what to call it. We snuck around out of the public view, sleeping together at every opportunity. We kind of acted like a couple but kind of didn't, and I had no idea what we really were. Neither of us had either asked each other what we were; I think we were both a little scared of what might happen if we brought it up. Either way, no one had any clue we were hooking up, and I had a feeling we'd push the limits this week. I hadn't known Khalen had invited Travis - apparently they were close - until yesterday, and now that he was here, I could feel his presence. I could feel him around me. I didn't think this was going to end well.

"You good babes?" Abigail nudged me, and I nodded. "Want a drink?" She held up one of the few cans in her hand.

"God yes." I nodded, and she pressed the can into my hand. Maybe if I got drunk, it'd make this easier.

"Selena?" Abigail offered her one, and she took it. "Cheers bitches." She raised hers, and we all laughed, clashing our cans together. 

Selena and Abigail cracked their cans tabs open but I reached down, grabbing one of the - clean - pegs we hadn't yet used. They watched me as I stabbed the side of the can, ripping a hole in it before quickly placing my mouth over the gap and tilting my head back. The girls cheered as I cracked the tab and shot gunned the drink, some of it dripping down onto my tank top. 

"That's what I'm talking about!" Selena lifted her can as I drained the last of it.

"Gotta do it Taylor." Abigail told me, and I laughed as I threw the can onto the ground and stamped it flat before bending down to pick it up. "Nice." She lifted her can like Selena had at me. "Someone's gonna get fucked up tonight."
