Skylar's Crush

Chapter 15

(Author's Note: This is the last chapter and the longest chapter. If you want me to do a sequal to what happens to Skylar in all of 8th grade just comment down below. Love you guys! XOXO enjoy!)

  It's the second to last day of camp. I wanted to try to help find people dates.. even though I didn't have one because there were no boys in my group or in my camp even close to my age. Riley didn't even go to camp. I hope that he would stick around and come to the prom anyway. "Hey! Do you wanna go to the prom with.. Rebbecca?" I asked a boy who was close to her age. Rebbecca was about two years younger than me. I got into an argument with my mom before camp started, and she punished me from makeup! What kind of punishment is that.. on PROM DAY?!?! I was furious. I couldn't ware makeup! Of all days my mom picked today to punish me. It was insane. I got to camp and sat down. I frowned. I told Kristen and Rebbecca the whole story. "You look pretty even without all that makeup" Kristen told me. "Thanks, but I really wanted to ware it for prom." I said. Evelyn the dance teacher was there setting up for us and was also a chaperon, and she told me the same thing. I guess I just don't believe in natural beauty for prom.

  I went home and begged my mom. I wasted all my eating time begging her. She finally agreed to let me ware makeup and I straightened my hair. I put on a cute black dress and small heels. As I put on my accessories I saw my brothers catching frogs and getting all muddy. They obviously didn't care about prom, but I did. The one time I could look really good and be around Riley at the same time, and have an excuse to look very fancy and cute. My mom drove us back to camp from the house and we watched people set up the music and decorations. I helped put out some of the snacks on the table. I saw people come through the door and most of the people didn't ware fancy stuff. Awkward! I was.. um.. a tiny bit overdressed, but I looked CUTE! I winked at myself in the mirror. "Wow your so modest about yourself!" Rebbecca said sarcastically to me. I saw Riley coming toward us and I started fixing my hair, but thank gosh no one noticed my boy crazy-ness. "Oh hey. What's up guys!" i said to Riley, Dylan, and Michael. For some reason everyone in their colony thought I had a crush on either Michael or Dylan. Wow.. I guess I am really good at not showing who my crush really was. 

  "Aren't you going to go kiss Michael" one of their friends said. "Eww.. no offence Michael. He's just my friend. Gosh can't guys and girls be friends without people thinking their secretly dating or something. It's so annoying. I have a crush on someone else!" I blurted out. Oh no! Not again. "Oh than who is it?" Riley asked. I got really nervous. People started guessing and everyone kept saying names, but NO ONE said Riley. I was so relived because I could have blurted out "yes" with that big mouth of mine. I blushed. No one noticed and that was really good. They sat down inside and I felt weird because I was done setting up and I felt to shy and weird to talk to ANY OF THEM.. well except for Michael. I think he was the only one who could see right through me that it was Riley all along. He was very smart to keep his mouth shut because he would know it would get me very angry. I walked and talked with him outside while we kept walking up and down the hill. "Why do they want to know so badly?" I asked him. "Duh.. they each think it's themselves." he said to me. "Oh.. well that makes a lot of sense." I said. 

   Everyone including some of the kids' parents were all at the prom. The music started playing and I started dancing. All the drama went out of my mind and I let loose and just wanted to have fun. They started doing the tango so I took my cousin who was nine years old, but my height and we did the tango. He actually used to take ballroom classes. Some people thought he was my boyfriend, but I told them that he was my cousin. They put on a song that I loved and I came up to the stage, took the microphone and started singing. I heard the crowd cheer and I smiled. At the end of the song I got claps from everyone.. INCLUDING RILEY. I was in complete fan girl mode. Everyone looked at me for a second and then continued their danced. Another awkward moment. Prom was over and I know this is stupid, but I wanted to dance with Riley. I started taking funny pictures with my cousin and camp ended for the day. Only one day left, but today is the last day I get to see Riley until next year. Should I tell him how I feel? No! Then next year everyone will remember and it will be SUPER embarrassing. 

 "Hey Skylar!" Dylan said. "Oh.. um.. hi." I said. "Well today is my last day here and some other people too, so are you going to tell me who your crush is now?" he asked. "No" I said. Him, Riley, Michael, and a few other boys around my age started following me and kept asking me questions. I sat on the swing and they asked me for clues. I gave MANY clues and they still couldn't figure out! It was impossible. I felt like they were just being lazy and wanted an actual name. I WAS NOT GOING TO GIVE IT TO THEM! Most of them stopped following me and was smart enough to realize that I wasen't going to tell them, but Riley and Dylan kept on following me. I went into the room were the prom was set up and it was empty. I sat down and Dylan sat next to me. "Why are you so desperate to know?" I asked. "I don't know. I'm curious." he said. Riley was actually hiding in the bathroom and thought he would hear what I would say to Dylan, but I didn't tell him. I went out with my scooter and  "Okay.. just say the name really fast as you go down the hill." Dylan said. "Fine." I said. I went speed lighting down the hill and said "Hahahahaha SUCKER!" and left. He frowned and I hid behind a tree right outside the colony. I felt bad so I went back and said goodbye before they left. The next day camp ended and I felt so annoyed because I wanted only Riley to know how I felt, but for him to feel the same way. So that's the story of my crush. My summer crush.
