The Camping Disaster

Chapter 18: The Cottage

Nathalie didn't know when or how she fell asleep but when she woke up, it was 12 PM. She got out of the tent and saw everyone gossiping.

She yawned and asked,
"Have you all eaten breakfast?"

"Your mom dropped them off at 9" Rachel answered
"You and Vexter have been sleeping for a long time, we all woke up at 7"
"Is Vexter awake?"
"Not yet, wait, have you two been awake all night!?" Scarlette excitedly asked
Nathalie didn't answer
"Omg! I knew it!" Scarlette exclaimed
"No no, it's not anything major, I just couldn't sleep at all last night, maybe the same thing happened to Vexter"
"Oh ho! You seem so suspicious" Tiana teased

Tiana and Scarlette squealed and Rachel giggled

Nathalie looked around for Felix and saw him staring at the lake.

"Hey Felix!"
"MY GOD!" He said and jumped back

Nathalie started laughing. Felix was quite tall, not as tall as Vexter. He had straight hair that was cut in a very prim and proper manner. He looked quite like a gentleman.

"Did I scare you?" She then asked
"Can't you see? Hell yeah you did!" He answered
"Is Vexter still sleeping?"
"Yea, dude sleeps like a statue!"
"I guess"

Nathalie remembered the events of last night. The strange light, the cottage- wait! She then got a brill idea and grinned.

"What are you grinning for?" Felix asked with a puzzled look
"I have an idea!" She answered
Nathalie and Felix went back to the tents.

"Guys! There's a cottage nearby! Why don't we go visit it?" She announced

Then she saw Vexter. They made eye contact for a second and both of them flinched. She wondered what would happen if anyone knew what had happened last night.

Nathalie winked at Vexter and Vexter grinned I'm response.
No one noticed anything except Felix. Poor boy looked so lost!

Everyone agreed and they took their belongings and proceeded to the Cottage.
