"Peyton?" I questioned. He turned around and sadly I was correct, its him. "Hi," he says after a minute or two. "Why are you in front of my cabin?" "Umm..."

I look down to see that in between his fingers is the polaroid of us. I quickly run towards him and snatch it out of his hands. "Why do you have this? W-where did you find it." He blinks a few times before finally closing his open jaw. "I uh, I found it somewhere around this cabin, so I decided to see if someone in there owned it. I guess I found the owner.." "Um, yea..so you're staying here for summer too?" I ask. He nods as he bites the inside of his cheek.

"Are you here with anyone?" "Just Bradley, are you?" "Yea, Sabrina should be inside," I tell him. "Do you uh- do you mind if I come in and said hi?" I simply motion for him to go inside. I follow him into my cabin and hear Sabrina's voice immediately. "Hey Rowan, are you oka-?" she stops in the middle of her sentence when she turns around to see Peyton on my right. "Hi Sabrina," he says with a small smile. "Hi?" Her greeting comes out as more of a question, and I know that she's as confused as I was.

Peyton walks towards her and spreads his arms out to give her a hug, but Sabrina takes a step back and puts her hand out for him to shake with a glare. He awkwardly shakes her hand as she continues to kill him with her stare. "So..how have you two been?" he asks us. "Fine," Sabrina shortly answers as she walks to my side. "I was okay up until a couple minutes ago," I told him, being brutally honest.

"I'll uh- I'll see you guys at the bonfire. Bye Sabrina," he told her, sliding out of her way. I walked out just to make sure he left, but of course, Peyton had more to say. "And Rowan? It was great seeing you," he said with a genuine smile.

I scoff and walk back inside. "The nerve of that boy.." I say under my breathe. "He's staying here all summer isn't he?" I nod, slowly sitting on my bed, looking at the floor. Sabrina sits next to me and rubs my back and grabs the picture that's still in my hand. "Is this why you ran out?" she asked.

"The memories of that night just flooded back, and having Mr. Perfect here all summer doesn't help." "Don't worry about him. Let's just enjoy our summer," she tells me.

After a minute or two, we heard the door open. "You must be our new roommates!" one of them stated excitedly. "I'm Hazel," the perky one told us as she engulfed us into a big hug. When she pulled away, I familiarized myself with how she look. She was a little shorter than me and had curled light brown hair with hazel eyes. She was wearing a 5 seconds of summer tank, a black skirt, and white/black converse. She seemed really sweet and I could already tell that I'd get along with her.

I look behind her to see a girl who was my height with dark brown hair that was put up in a messy bun with a pen behind her ear. She was wearing a simple blue croptop, black high-waisted shorts, vans and glasses. She had long eyelashes that you could see through her spectacles, and trust me, they weren't fake. She had a book in her hands and was definitely interested in what she was reading. "Oh hi there, I'm Blaire," she told us with a wide smile.

"I'm Sabrina." "And I'm Rowan." Hazel's perky smile grew wider and Blaire dropped her book. "Oh my god,you guys are from Girl Meets World!" Hazel exclaimed. "I've watched all of your episodes and read a ton of fan fictions about you guys! Its so surreal seeing you two in person. Sorry it took us a while to notice who you guys were," Blaire told us.

Both me and Sabrina chuckled. "Its okay," we assured them. "I love 5 seconds of summer by the way, and The Fault in Our Stars was a great book, thats really cool that you're reading that," I told them. They both smiled and pulled us into a group hug.

For the next hour we talked and bonded, getting to know one another. "So are you and Peyton together? I've always shipped you two. I think Blaire wrote a few fan fictions over you guys." My smile instantley faded. "No, we never were together. We're not even friends anymore.."

"Oh, we're sorry to here that," Blaire told me as she embraced me in a hug. These girls are so nice. I feel like we've all been best friends for the longest time. "Its fine, its his fault anyways. But I just bumped into him this morning and it turns out that he'll be here all summer too." "Wow, luck really isn't on your side. Everything will be fine though. He should be the one thats worried. I mean, he is the one who messed up things for you two," Hazel explained.

"She does have a point Row. I'm telling you, you can't let Peyton ruin your summer." I nod and stand up. "You're all right. But can we discuss this another time? We have to get ready for the bonfire anyways."

"Well me and Blaire are already done, so we can help you guys out if you'd like." "Sure," Sabrina answered with a smile.

I ended up wearing a daisy tanktop with a beige cardigan, light colored shorts, and black combat boots. Blaire curled my hair and did my makeup, which turned out perfect. Sabrina was wearing a plain t-shirt and pants, but I knew that she'd change after what I was about totell her. "Hey Sab? You know that Bradley is here too right?" Her eyes widened and she quickly changed into a floral dress with a denim cover up and peach heels. She put her hair up in a high ponytail and brushed herself off. "Better?," she asked, taking heavy breathes. I nodded and started to laugh.

"Bradley Steven Perry?" they asked. Sabrina sheepishly smiled and nodded while she blushed. "Aww, otp. I am so writing a fan fiction about you two," Blaire told us as she put a hand to her heart. We all laughed and made our way out of the door.

When we reached the bonfire, we saw maybe 100 kids gathered around the beautiful flames. We were singing camp fire songs with everyone when I felt a tap on my shoulder. "Hi," I said with a half smile. "Hey."
