Thirteen:

Sunday morning, I made it my business to talk to Louis. I knew it was none of my business, but another familiar moan I knew, filled the air that day. My stomach always hurt when I was scared or nervous. The closer I got to the dining hall, the more my tummy grumbled even more.

My heart began to quicken, and my throat tightened. I didn't want to throw up on him, I didn't think.

I pulled open the door to the dining hall, and let the hot air hit me. Did I mention no air conditioner? Yeah, no. We're roughing it here.

Louis sat at one of the corner tables picking at his oatmeal. His friends surrounded him, laughing at whatever they were talking about. I slid into an empty seat next to Louis and tugged at his sweater. Seeing him wear it made me hot. I mean, Jesus, it's June.

He turned to me with a perplexed look, still chewing.

"Let's chat." I pursed my lips and led him outside.

"Evie, if you're trying to figure out what we're planning, I'm not going to say anything.This entire thing is ridiculous anyway." He began, but I stopped him before he could begin another sentence.

"If you don't want people to find out you're gay, don't do it in the woods." As soon as the word gay left my mouth, his face paled. I looked to the ground, suddenly finding an interest in pebbles and dirt.

"W-what?" Louis was breathless.

"The woods are a beautiful place. Especially in Summer. You might expect to find a new species of flowers or bugs. I however, found you and some other guy groping each other." I rocked in the balls of my feet and looked up at him.

"I'm sorry. I didn't-" I covered his mouth. My eyebrows rose up worried about the answer to a question I wanted to ask.

"Who was it?" I fearfully asked. I swear Louis hesitated, which made me even more scared.

"Just one of the campers." Louis scoffed. "I've been having to keep this secret because of the rule saying no sexual activity. My mums the camp director. She would not be happy to find out what I did." He explained.

"Which camper?" I slowly dragged out.

"I don't fuck and tell." The corners of his mouth turned up into a smile.

"So it wasn't another counselor?" I clarified.

"No, why?"

I have to be honest, a part of me recognized Auden's moans yesterday. It bothered me knowing I knew, but I didn't really know.

"I was just wondering." I shrugged. He looked at me confused but let it go. "So, what are you planning?"

"Bye, Evie." He smiled and winked before spinning on his heels and walking back inside. I groaned in frustration.

I went over my options for today. Personally, I thought we had too many days off. But then again, it was summer. I love summer because I get to lay around not lifting a finger.

Sunday's were the day we got our phones back for the day. We had to call our families, and tell them how we were doing. Not that I could call mine. They shipped me off because they were selfish fuckers. I was "too much trouble" for them to handle apparently.
