Things between Nate and I have become really.... tight?

ever since the other day,Jaycee had been ignoring me no matter how hard I try to get his attention.He literally skips some classes because of me.How do I know?Well anytime he sees me he glares at me and backs out.So yeah ever a blind person will see that he's really hurt.But c'mon,it's not my fault he rejected me and u decided to move on?Well basically I faked it, but doesn't matter as long as he believes it and finally decides to stay out of my way,which by the way is going great.

Well I only have one mission at the moment,not to fall for Nate.I know it sounds stupid,but c'mon,he's too handsome, perfect and awesome for me to fall for him?Yeah that's a lie...I'm one of the few ladies on this planet that can resist his so called charms.Like who does the think he is by the way?A Greek God?The likes of Bianca,and probably Liv can fall for him but I can't.Dont want my delicate heart being broken by some egotistic jerk.

Speaking of Liv,I haven't told her about this..thing.Why?that's because she will flip If she finds out that I made a stupid deal with a bad boy.Even though,she will be a bit happy because she'll get in touch with Drew..she likes him so much.

Imagine crushing on someone since third grade?

Stupid.

"Nat"Liv calls out and I pull away from my thoughts.

I look outside and I met the view of my lovely school..

Oh.. we're here.

Our school had been planning a camp trip for a while,and after persuading technically all the parents, we're finally going.

A week of outdoor activities..

Yay

I'm not quite happy about this, because it brings back memories of my Nona.She is the one who made camping a tradition each time we visited her,but everything stopped when she was diagnosed with osteoporosis.

***
(Flashback)

I wake up only to meet the lovely smell of eggs and a mix of nature.It was three years ago,my siblings and I had gone camping with Nona,my dad's only living parent.
She lived on the outskirts of Hudson Valley.Mom and dad pleaded with her to come live with us but she declined..Ever since I was little,she had a strong connection with nature,he house on it's own says it all.. Nona has always been a lover of flowers, especially daisies.Her compound is full of all sorts of flowers,planted all across the lawn.Her entrance has little pits of sprouting poppies and smells like freshly cut lemon grass.Even though she was in her early sixties,she worked like she was twenty..
I jump out of my sleeping bag and stretch a bit before I walk out of the tent I shared with Liv.When I got outside,I found the eggs burning and the coffee was boiling over.I began to panic but calmed down when I saw a dim light in Nona's tent.I put a smile on my face and skipped towards her tent.I looked inside,and blood drained from my face.There she was, lying lifeless on the floor.I shook her,then cried for help before my brother came running.He picked her up and carried her to her house,which wasn't far from the forest.

***
After calling dad that day,she had to undergo surgery.Her bones were wrapped with thin layers of fat,which was probably the main cause other fatigue.

After that day,we stopped camping.And now that I have to do it again,it brings back loads of memories.

Liv and I walk towards the other side of the parking lot,our luggage in hand.I just packed a medium sized bag while Liv packed a huge one.I watch her as she struggles to handle her belongings.

"What exactly is in that bag if I may ask?"I tap my foot on the ground as I wait for her to catch up with me.

"Things.. that.. might..impress the impressible"she grunts.

"Drew?"I smirk

Liv pauses and gives me a death glare,her cheeks scarlet.

"Shut up"she mumbles and we walk towards the others.

One thing I can tell you, everywhere is filled with people.Our school hired huge buses that will takes to and from our destination.The four trucks are more than enough for everyone.I try my best to find a stop to sit down while the teachers sort out everything with the drivers,but sadly i don't find a seat so I just sit on a nearby cut down tree.

"Hey babe"

I turn around and my eyes meet with Nate's.I stare for a while and take in his appearance.

Why does he get hotter every single day?!

He has on a black tee shirt,paired with light washed jeans and white sneakers.His hair is styled so well,it looks too perfect to touch

"Take a picture, it will last way longer"he smirks.

I look away and scoff.

What a surprise!

From what I heard,Nate doesn't go on school trips,so I'm technically surprised to see him here.

"What are you doing here?"

"Well I'm part of Hudson Valley High,is technically I need to be here for their road trip"he smirks.

"It's a camping trip"I correct him

"whatever"he says .

Everyone is so shocked to see Nate here, especially Bianca.She comes running towards Nate.

"Babe!you're here"she squeals as she jumps on him.

"Uhm..yes everyone can see that Bianca"he says and pulls her away.

She scoffs and looks at me.

"What's she doing here?"she looks at Nate with a fake smile plastered on her caked face

Witch

"Oh you mean her?"Nate looks at me and pulls me up

Oh no.

He twirls me around and says.

"We're just talking"he said and wraps his large arm around my shoulder.

"But why?"she somehow yells"I'm here"she bats her eyelashes.

Yeah right.

"I know.. but you're not needed right now,so yeah..if you'll excuse us"he says and he sits down on my spot and pulls me towards him,until I am sitting on his lap.

I go bright red and cover my face in his chest.

Bianca looks at me like she can spit venom out of her eyes and she stomps away.

"Seriously?"I whisper yell in his ear.

"What?"he says innocently and he looks so cute.

Shut up inner mind.

I shake my head and try to stand up but he places his hand on my lap.I shiver at his touch and go numb.He the males circles on my lap,and this gets to me so quick.

I'm wearing shorts!of course he'll be prying on my beautiful legs.

"W-hat are you doing"I whisper.

"Making him jealous"he says as he stares deeply into my eyes and touches my nose.

I am 100% sure that I am super red,and I'm trying my possible best to control my breathing.

He leans in more and kisses my neck,then pecks my cheek before placing my head on his shoulder.I close my eyes as I feel the tingly feeling on my cheeks.I look to my right and see Jaycee staring at us,his jaw and fists clenched.

What a week ahead.
