Real life

Chapter 10

Brooklyn's POV

I woke up at 6 again this morning. I had nightmares again last night. Ever since I was little I have been having nightmares that leave me screaming and sweating when I wake up but the crazy thing about it is that I never remember what the dreams are.

Thank god last night I didn't scream or I would have woken up the entire cabin or worse the entire camp.

I got ready and grabbed my book and headed out to the swing to watch the sunrise like I did yesterday. It was a little bit later today so the sunrise was more of a purply, blue, and pink color but still beautiful.

"Morning," Tanner says, walking up to me to sit beside me, his thigh touching mine on the swing. "Good morning, I thought you said 'see you at breakfast' not see you first thing". "Well then why are you up so early then". "Didn't sleep well" I say, closing my book making sure to not make contact with him.

I know that he knows about my nightmares. I used to stay over at his house sometimes and it would freak him out whenever I would have them.

"You still have them" he asks. I nod my head. "Not every night but yeah". "Are you doing ok?" he asks putting his arm behind me so that it touches my back. "Yeah I'm fine" I say even though my anxiety before I left for camp was pretty bad.

"What are you reading?" he ask's. "Oh nothing, just a romance book". "You like to read now," he says stunned. I never really got into reading when I was younger. It was my least favorite.

"I started reading in middle school and really enjoyed it". He grabs the book from my hands and opens it. He reads "'his eyes were as blue as the ocean' oh please is this one of them cheesy stupid romcom books like the movies".

"No it's definitely not cheesy, that's just one of the very few sweet and cheesy parts of the book". It definitely wasn't a cheesy romcom. It was a smut book with only a few pages of sweetness in it.

"And it's not stupid" I say, snatching it out of his hand. He grabs it back, "hey I wanted to read some more." "no you don't" I say laughing he laughs too. We tussle back and forth with the book and then he gets it.

"Damn girl. I was wrong this book is definitely not as innocent as it seem" he says raising his eyebrows reading a page. I take it back. "I told you so"

About that time the girls and Hannah come running out the doorway and off to play games. Leighton comes out last.

She makes a kissy face and hugs herself. Tanner rolls his eyes. "You two are too cute" she says and then heads off to join her friends.

"Hey Hannah, do you mind looking after the girls today?" I ask her. "No problem" she replies and gives me one of those 'you've got a crush on the hot guy counselor' looks.

"So what do you want to do today?" I ask Tanner. "Well I have I plan but I can't tell you"

"Okay well at least give me a hint" I ask. "Go change into your swimsuit" he says

We both get up and walk inside. "I've never been inside a girls cabin before". "Don't they look the same?" I ask. "No, not at all". He takes a seat on the couch and I go into my room to change.

I put on my favorite pink bikini and put a big graphic tee over it and put on my birks. "Ready" I say, opening the door. "That doesn't look like a swimsuit," he says jokingly. I lift up my shirt to show him "haha very funny" I say.

"Which room is Leighton in?" he asks me. "That one," I said pointing to the room closest to mine. "Does she keep it clean?". "What makes you think she's a 14 year old girl". He walks in. "shit wow this is messy" he says.

"What did you take?" I asked him because I could see him put something in his pocket. He holds out his hand holding two pieces of gum. "Want some" he asks, putting a piece in his mouth. "No thanks" "suit yourself."

We walk outside. "Ok so tell me where are we going?" I ask. "You'll see," he says. He grabs my hand and runs off with me.
