Derp Camp

Chapter 10

Sydney's POV:
I woke to the sound of Michael and Lauren belting out the words to One Direction's You and I. Honestly that was my favorite song by them even though I don't really listen to them. Fine the truth is, about a year ago I was a die hard directioner but then my best friend moved away and I became the way I am today. I jumped out of bed the minute they hit the chorus and sang it with them.
"You and I, we don't wanna be like them! We can make it till the end, nothin can come between, You and I!"
Their eyes shot to me and they stopped singing.
"What? I don't live under a rock, I know who one direction is. Besides that song is always on the radio. " I say playing it off.
"I'm gonna pretend like that never happened. " Michael said.
"Anyway, what're you doing in here anyway?" I ask realizing I'm standing in front of Lauren and Michael in nothing but a pair of shorts and a tank top. Suddenly feeling self conscious I pulled my tank top up a bit.
" I don't really know, I heard Lauren so I came in here and You and I was playing so we both decided to sing. Now here we are. " he says sitting on Lauren's bed.
"Oh," I say moving a piece of hair in my face behind my ear.
"I almost forgot! I'm going to the beach later, would you two like to join?" Michael asks as I walk over to my closet.
"Yeah sure. Wait, who's really coming?" I say backing back out of my closet.
"Ha! Knowing her luck Calum or Luke'll be going!" Lauren laughed walking over to her closet as well. Michael just sat there, on Lauren's bed, and laughed awkwardly.
"They're going aren't they?" I say standing in front of him.
"No, not Calum. But Luke is. " he says.
"Please come! I don't want it to just be me and Luke. " Michael says clapping his hands together as if he was praying. I just shook my head.
"Please, please, please?!" He say going on his knees.
"No. " I say crossing my arms across my chest.
"PLEASE! He's so awkward. I'm begging you!" He says wrapping his arms around my legs.
"Michael let go!" I say kicking my right leg.
"Not until you agree. " he says looking up at me.
"Fine. I'll go to the stupid beach with you and Luke. Lauren you're coming with me!" I say to her walking back over to my closet.
"Thank you, see you at 2." He says skipping out of the room.
"Did that just happen?" I say to Lauren.
"I guess it did. " she says shrugging and walking back into the closet. I grab my usual Triangl bikini that I wore the first day there and through on a cute black skater dress. I packed my bag and sat on my bed, waiting for Lauren to come out of her closet. She returned in a black crop top, high wasted light wash shorts, and a red flannel. Toward the top of her neck I could see her neon pink bikini peaking through.
"Okay so it's 11 now. What do you say we grab some brunch?" Lauren say picking up her bag and walking toward the door.
"Works for me. " I say walking with her down the hallway. We go down the stairs and she heads to the kitchen.
"I'll be back in a second. " I say looking toward the corner of the room. There was a door ajar. Being curious I walked toward the door, and opened it to reveal a garage. And Calum. Perfect.
"Oh sorry I just saw this door and-is that a car?" I say mid sentence.
"No it's a bear. " Calum says sarcastically walking over to me.
"What's with you and this game?" I ask annoyed.
"What game?" He asks raising an eyebrow.
"You know damn well what I'm talking about. Why do you do it? It's not cool to play with girls feelings. " I say crossing my arms over my chest.
"Simple. Because it's fun. I'm blessed with getting ten new faces every summer. I always experiment, pick out the ones that are hot. Lead them on and see just how much of a freak in bed they actually are." He says winking at me and walking away, making sure he rudely bumps my shoulder.
"Prick. " I say to myself before heading down the stairs to see the car. It looks new. It's a 2013 white mustang. Taking a mental note I walk back upstairs and enter the kitchen.
"What took you so long?" Lauren says handing me my muffin and orange juice. 
"I ran into Calum. Anyway that's a garage, there's a car in there. " I say happily.
"Nice to know, now then let's go over by the dock." Lauren says dragging my arm toward the door.
"Hold on, I wanted to talk to Michael about something, where is he?" I say walking back toward the stairs.
"Oh, he just left to go to a hair appointment." Lauren replied. Oh right, pink hair. How could I forget?
"Oh, okay. I'll tell him later, then." I say walking back toward Lauren. 
.*.*.*.*.
"Michael, can I talk to you?" I say pulling him aside at the beach. We've only been here for a couple minutes but I really have to ask Michael something.
"How long has this camp been going on?" I ask quietly.
"Four years, why?" He says slightly worried.
"Damn it. Calum told me he's been pulling this crap every year. That's forty girls he screwed. Someone needs to put him in his place. " I say crossing my arms.
"I know. I think you should talk to Luke and Ashton about it though, they're way better at that kind of stuff then I am. " he says as we start to walk back over to Luke and Lauren.
"Okay, I'll tell them. " I say meeting up with them again.
"Tell them what?" Lauren says.
"Tell you guys that Calum- Calum is a douche. " I couldn't do it. I'll tell Luke later on. Privately. Lauren doesn't need to know about anymore of this stuff.
"Nice save. " Luke mutters walking past me over to his towel.
"Shut up." I say as he lays down on his towel. He puts on his sunglasses and takes off his shirt. Obviously trying to tan. I must say, he is really hot. Snap out of it Sydney, he's just gonna be a friend, remember?
   Looking as if he was too comfortable I grabbed am abandoned bucket and rinsed it out in the ocean, filling it up as I left the sand. I walked back over to Luke and stood in front of him.
"You're blocking my light. " he says.
"Move. " he says again a bit more aggressively.
"Okay!" I say pouring the bucket of water on him.
"That's it! You're gonna get it!" He says standing up as I bolt down the beach. He catches up to me and picks me up, swinging me around like in the movies. I'll have to admit it was really fun. Except for the part where he through me over his should and started walking toward the water.
"Luke! Put me down! I swear if you drop me!" I say.
"You'll what?" He says looking at me.
"I-I'll-well." I couldn't get the words out.
"That's what I thought. " he says smirking and dropping me in the water.
"Jerk!" I say getting up and laughing.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't do to others what you wouldn't do to yourself. " he replies pointing a finger at me trying to be serious. I burst out laughing.
"What? What's so funny?" He says smiling.
"You trying to be serious. " I say back smiling.
"Oh please. I can be serious when I want to be. " he replies.
"Sure. " I scoff walking away.
"I'm serious when I say, I'll never stop trying to be more then friends!" He shouts. I don't know what made me do it but I ran back over to him.
"But we can't be. " I say back.
"Why?" He asks outing his hands on my arms.
"Because." I say right before I kissed him. Wow this boy must be confused. To be honest I am too.
