   I look down at my phone as I sit on my bed before lights out.
   A message pops up on my screen.

   Thalia-
Hey, it's been a while, I've been thinking, you've got to call me sooner or later so we can sort things out.
-Matt.

I read over the message many times, but I still don't get it, I realize how much I miss home, so I look through me and Matts text messages.

   Thalia-
Hey gorgeous, how's your day?
-Matt

   Matt-
Really boring, I hate Matt class, what about you?
-Thalia

   Thalia-
Fine, I'm in English, why does everyone have to read To Kill A Mockingbird?
-Matt

   Matt-
Because it's part of the curriculum.
-Thalia

   Thalia-
Can you even say that word?
-Matt

   Matt-
Well, no, can you?
-Thalia

   Thalia-
Believe it or not, yes I can.
-Matt

   Matt-
I'm gonna go with or not.
-Thalia

   Thalia-
So, we still on for the movie tonight?
-Matt

   Matt-
Of course ( ;
-Thalia

   Thalia-
Ok, great, well I should get back to work before the teacher gets mad, see you at lunch, love you!
-Matt

   Matt-
Love you too, Matty.
-Thalia

   I shut off my phone, those messages were about a month before I felt like Matt was more of a friend.

   I guess, about 3 months ago I felt that our relationship was strictly platonic, we were the perfect couple for 3 years, then I just didn't feel it anymore, and Matt said he felt the same way.

   When I kissed Matt for the last time, I didn't feel anything but pressure on my lips, not the spark I get when I kiss Christian.

   I decide to ignore Matts message for a bit, I have an adventure tomorrow.
-------------------------------------

   I run down the cabin steps and sit on the picnic table.

   I look the lake, and wait for everyone else.

   Someone blows on the back of my neck and I jump, I turn around and see Christian laughing, "you scared me!" I punch him on the shoulder.

   He runs his shoulder and chuckles, "sorry."

   "You don't sound sorry," I mumble.

   "You're right, I'm not sorry because that was hilarious," he says still running his shoulder, "by the way, you have a hard punch, jeez."

   "You try growing up with 3 over protective brothers," I say as he grabs my hand and rubs my knuckles.

   I leans my head on his shoulder and look at the lake.

   "Hey," Brody calls, "everyone ready?"

   We all nod and start walking toward a rock wall on the other side of the lake, "ok," Carter says, "there are underwater caves about 10 feet down, we just have to dive, swim into the hole in the rocks, then swim for about 5 meters, then we should be in the pool of the caves."

   "On the count of 3 we will all dive," Maya says, "1... 2... 3."

   We all dive in the cold, blue water.

   I open my eyes and follow everyone else, we enter this circle hole in the rocks, we are under water for about 30 seconds by the time we are in the little underground pool.

   It's a cute, dark cave with a blue tint from the water.

   We all swim toward the edge and get out, I sit down and put my feet in the water, Brody, Maya, Cater and Marissa go deeper into the cave, I look over at Christian, his face is pale, and his eyes wide with panic.

   "Hey," I say, take his hand, "you ok?"

   "Just a little..." He squeezes his eyes shut, and takes a deep breath, "a little claustrophobic."

   I put my hands on either side of his face, "hey, look at me," I demand, forcing him to look me in the eye, "it's ok, I'm here, I always will be, I won't leave you alone, just look at me and don't for us on where you are, just on who you're with."

   I kiss him really quick, then walk away, about 10 seconds later he's at my side, I'm proud that I'm the one that got him through this.

-------------------------------------
   Christian and I walk along the rock hours later, I close my eyes, and let my hair blow loose in the wind.

   I feel Christians hands move to my waist and he turns me around.

   I put my forehead on his, I open my eyes to look into his gorgeous brown eyes, I never realized how much emotion he hides in them, my eyes sweep across his face, his eyes, his nose, his lips, everything about him is perfect, I think it's time to tell him how I really feel.

   "Christian," I say, slightly stuttering, "I think I'm in love with you."

   My eyes sweep his face once again, a smile wider then ever spreads across his face, "good, because I know I love you."

   He leans in and presses his lips on mine.

-------------------------------------
   That's what you get for falling again, you can never get him out of your head...

   The lyrics to Pretty Girl by Sugarcult blare through my earbuds, trying to block out the screaming of the 2 girls who just found out what conversation Christian and I had, but that didn't work, so I take them out.

   "Calm down!" I yell at them, trying not to laugh at them rambling about this, I throw a pillow at Maya, and it hits her square in the face.

   She squeals as soon as I get a text, I look down and see a text from Christian.
  
   Thalia-
Meet me at the dock.
-Christian

  "Be right back," I say and walk out of the cabin, it's slightly cold, and I'm just in a black tank-top and shorts, I rub my arms to keep warm.

   I shiver as I walk down the docks, I turn around the corner to see the worst thing that brings tears to my eyes.

   Cassidy and Christian kissing, he looks at him as he pushes her away, "Thalia, it's not what it looks like!"

   "I thought you loved me," I say as I run down the docks.

   Hey, the song of the chapter is Pretty Girl by Sugarcult.

   Sorry about not updating very frequently, I've already had 3 tests and it's only the end of the first month of school, also on top of that, I have volleyball practice on Tuesday's and Thursday's, and at the end of the month, I'll have hockey practice on Wednesday's, so let's just say, updating will be hard.

   So, see ya...😊
