Camp Pinewood ~Book 2~

16

Jesse's POV
I watched as Sydney unloaded her bags from the car. As soon as she saw me watching her, she ran over and hugged me.
"I don't know how you managed to convince Alyssa to let me back in but thank you." She said, reaching up to kiss me on the cheek. I wrapped my arms around her waist and lifted her up as my lips met hers in a moment of passion.
It didn't last very long though.
"Yeah, yeah, what a wonderful little romantic moment you two." Alyssa commented from behind us, ruining the moment completely.
Sydney glared at her over my shoulder, eyes narrowing into slits. "You. As far as I'm concerned Alyssa, you can just stay away from me for the rest of the summer."
"Is that really any way to talk to your forgiving, kind hearted boss?"
"Fuck off." She hissed before shoving her way past her and into the camp. I followed behind, but stopped by Alyssa and whispered in her ear. "Just remember, I still have the tape."
I heard a growl rise from her throat as her head snapped towards me, her face twisted in a glare. I smirked at her and continued on past her.

Sydney's POV
"YOU'RE BACK!!!" all the girls of my cabin exclaimed excitedly, hugging me tight in a large circle. I couldn't help but laugh as Jesse watched all this, laughing hard as I was completely smushed.
"Guys, try not to suffocate her. She just got back." he said, gasping for air after laughing. "Besides, we've got work to do now, alright?"

I looked at him, waiting for him to continue. "We have the next game tomorrow for the Camp Pinewood Games."
"Oh, crap. I forgot about that. What's tomorrow's game?" I asked him.

"The three legged race."
"Oh. Well then..." I hesitated, looking at my girls. Jesse's boys just came out and joined us, and immediately, I pinpointed Madison and Brandon.
"You two." I said, motioning towards them.
"Sydney." Jesse said aloud.
"Trust me." I told him, then looked back at Madison and Brandon. "You're doing the three legged race. I chose you two because I get the feeling you know each other's movements pretty damn well considering all of the making out you do."
"Well we don't just-"
"Ahh, I don't need to know all the gory details Madison." I told her, holding up a hand. "I just know you know each other well so... You might actually have a chance of winning."

They both looked at each other for a moment, and then smiled, clasping hands together. "We'll do it." Brandon said.

"Perfect. You're task today is to go and practice." I told them, then turned to Jesse. "You. Who are the sneakiest people you have?"
He immediately pointed to Ron and John without any hesitation. "Them."
"You two, I need you to stake out Alyssa and Ethan's team. See who they're using and how much trouble we are or aren't in." they nodded and went on their way.
"The rest of you, help the others. Jesse, you and I are going to do camp counselor things."
"Use protection." Evan joked, causing the others to laugh.
"Not that type of counselor things. Go get to work." I said, shooing them off. Once they were all gone, I looked back at Jesse.
"Can we do those type of counselor things?" he asked me.
I rolled my eyes. "No. What did you tell Alyssa out there?"

"You saw that?" he wondered.
"I turned back to tell you something and you were whispering something in her ear. So yeah, I did."
He pulled out a black tape from his pocket and threw it on the bed beside us. "To get you back, I acted like I was interested in her again. So she'd open up to me and tell me the plan, while I recorded her telling me. But then she broke it, which I foresaw happening and had the campers all record everything happening, which then I am using now as blackmail so that she keeps you here and doesn't do anything else to mess with us." He told me all on one breath.
I really wasn't sure what to say. "Wow..."

"I know, I am pretty wow." He said, laughing a little. "And so are the campers. And Ethan."

"Ethan?!" I exclaimed, shocked now.
"Yes, he helped." He nodded. Then he looked completely serious. "You should know... he didn't mean to cheat on you."
"What?"
"Alyssa drugged him. She date raped him."

My eyes widened, and I found I couldn't stand anymore, so I sat on the bed. He sat down beside me.
"It's not your fault. It could have happened to anyone."
"I... I just... was so awful to him. I can't believe he helped with the plan after I was so mean to him."

"He cares a lot about you. And hey, my genius skills helped quite a lot with that plan." He said, smirking.
I rolled my eyes again, laughing a little. I was still upset about the Ethan thing, but I pushed it away for now. I could deal with it later. "You're amazing."

"Please, I know that."
"And... now you're not so amazing." I joked.
"But you are."
"Just shut up and kiss me." I said, pulling him closer until his lips met mine.
