Saying that his comment didn't hurt would be a lie, but I know what everyone thinks of me. So being hurt wasn't called for
' Yeah, I'm the nerd... What exactly are you doing here?' I asked him with curiosity. Let's just say I never thought I'd ever see Blake Pierce here
' Oh, I'm here to help'
I gave him a bored expression
' okay fine! I was sent here because my parents wanted me to do something PRODUCTIVE over the summer', he made speech marks with his hands when he said productive. I laughed a little
' And why are you here?'
'I'm actually here to help'
' wait so you came here because you wanted to, not because you were forced to?!'
'Ditto'
He looked at me with a look that said,' ARE YOU STUPID?'
'Isn't that what nerds do?' I teased
I can't believe it
He gave me a guilty look and looked away

'So?' We were done with our preparations for camp and decided to wait for the kids by the river, so I thought of sparking up and conversation.
'What?'
' are you having fun?' The words just blurted out of my mouth without thinking
Lemme get this straight, I'm not good with conversations, specially if it's with a really cute guy with the perfect jaw and blue hypnotising eyes... Whoa
'Uhh yeah... When are the kids coming?'
I could tell he wasn't really having fun sitting with me. I get that a lot
'I don't know' with that I stood up and told him that I'm going back to the cabins
Some part of me wanted him to tell me to stay. It's not like I have a crush on him or anything but is it a crime to feel wanted. I never had friends and I never hung out with anyone. HECK I HAVEN'T EVEN HUGGED A GUY
He nodded
Really?! I thought ugh
So I just walked back.

'Is she dead?' A squeaky voice said from near me
'Yeah that's why she's breathing, idiot' a boy said
What's going on?! I opened my eyes and saw a bunch of kids surrounding me and they were laughing... Yayy they are here (note the sarcasm).
I got up from the couch in desperate need of the washroom.
'Guys stay here, I'll be back' with that I walked out
HOLY MOTHER OF PEARL
SHIRTLESS. BLAKE. ROPES. AAAH.
Wait didn't I had to pee...
'Blake!' I yelled as he had his back to me. He looked at me and smirked
'Yes, sleeping beauty'
I looked at him with a weird expression
'Why are you so cheerful?'
'You might want to look at your face, then you'll be cheerful as I am' he said while trying not to laugh
I took out my phone and looked myself in the screen. A MUSTACHE
'Real mature' I whispered
'The kids forced me, I swear'
'Whatever, I replied while wiping of my upper lip. I walked up to him.
'What are you doing?'
'The kids need to go for a ride, I'm preparing it'
Oh right... But I wasn't in the mood to work so I watched him as his muscles rippled and flexed. Why is he so handsome...? I think he noticed it
'Take a picture, it'll last longer'
I just splashed him with waiter from the river because of the snarky comment and that was when all hell broke lose.
