Summer Hate... or Love

day three - bothered

we walk down the hallways of the rooms, and finally reach the end. my hand extends toward the door handle, but is calmly interrupted by a large hand pulling it open first. 

I give my new roomate a small smile, "thanks." 

as he opens the door, the sun peaks over the horizon, casting a golden hue across the tranquil lake that travels around the camp. I look over at ricky, and the light makes his blue eyes look even more alluring.

"done staring, zellie?" he says, snapping me out of my trance.

"um.. give me second, could you turn a little?" I say smirking, not embarrassed one bit I got caught.

ricky just chuckles, whispering ass, which causes me to let out a small chuckle aswell. we walk down to the seperate cafeteria building that they have to serve food. but this time, I grab the door. 

"m'lady," I say with a ghost of a smile on my face,

"oh, thank you kind gentleman!" he says with a smirk.

I squint my eyes at him, mocking him quietly. we step inside the cafeteria and get inline for breakfest. in this camp, the food is prepaid for when you get a spot in camp. this morning it looks like they're serving oatmeal and.. 

"what the fuck is that?" ricky leans down and whispers in my ear, nodding his head towards the mushy, red, clumpy thing. 

I shrug my shoulders in response, "no clue." though right now, all my atention is on the goosebumps that crawl all over my skin where he had breathed.

after getting our food, ricky sees a group of boys he knows, and he asks, 

"you good? I'ma go sit with those boys over there."

I kinda want to smile at his gesture, but I refrain and just nod once I've spotted maya, "all good." and with that I walk away towards maya. 

"hey maya, mind if I sit?" I ask her.

she whips her head to me so fast I'm shocked she doesnt have whiplash. "of course! here, I'll introduce you to everyone" 

I sit down, setting my tray down infront of me and then leaning my elbows elbows on the table, waiting for maya to tell me who the three girls at this table are. 

"ok, cool! so thats lola, she is in 204," she says pointing to the white girl with peachy-blonde hair the lightest blue eyes ever. lola gives me a cute grin, so I return it.

"shes tina, her and jen are both in 306," maya nods her head towards the black girl with brown eyes and these gorgeous brown braids that suit her fucking perfectly. greek goddess who? she nods at me so obviously I nod back.

"and thats jen." she gestures her hand out towards the hispanic girl with the silkest black hair I've ever seen. hey! she has hazel eyes. I giggle internally at my own humor. 

"nice to meet y'all, I'm hazel" I express with a small smile tugging at my lips.

for the whole breakfest, we get to know each other, giggle, gossip, all the goods. I check my phone for the time, 8:51. 

"we should probably dump our tray nows." I say standing up and walking over to one of the many trash bins and dumping my tray. yet on my way back, I hear my obnoxious nickname being called.

"hey, zellie!" ricky calls out across the cafeteria with a mischievous grin, causing me to roll my eyes in exasperation. I turn to face him, my expression a mixture of annoyance and amusement.

I raise my eyebrows, "what?" I yell back. 

he just shakes his head and sits back down in the hurdle of boys eating, "nothing, the guys just wanted to see if you were as hot as I told him," he then leans down when one of the boys whispers in his ear, sitting back up he yells, "you are!"
