 “Ughhh… this is so stupid, why couldn’t we have gotten an easier job like starting the fire or something.” Groaned Casey after eyeing the logs we’d soon have to lug back to the campfire.

It was 7:30 AM and all the groups had just been given their assignments for the next two hours. Ours was to collect and bring back firewood for our fire tonight. It sounded like an easy job when we received it this morning but none of us imagined how hard and dirty it was going to be, but most of all, I could not get thoughts of him out of my head. It was like being possessed. All I could see were images of him and I kissing, it was maddening. Especially when every time I looked over at him only to find him doing everything else other than checking me out also.

Casey, Tasha and I were across the campout currently collecting firewood and putting it in these crates to carry back when I decided I would try my luck again and peek over to see what Mr. Hudgens was doing. I tried to look discreet and ‘accidentally’ dropped a log. “Oops.” I said as I bent down to retrieve it and quickly look over at him. I thought I was doing a good job at being sneaky until I realized he was leaning against a tree with his arms folded over his chest, yellow Gatorade in hand, and he was full out laughing at me. His blue eyes shone bright in the sun as he laughed and he looked drop dead gorgeous. I blushed at being caught and shot him a glare as my lip involuntarily jutted out like a child. He chuckled some more at my attempt to look mean and mouthed ‘your breath stinks’. I felt a jolt of shock and quickly turned around before he could see my blush, thankfully I don’t think he saw it for I didn’t hear any loud laughter. I turned back to him and stuck my tongue out really quickly before turning back to my work.    

Later around mid-day, everyone went down to the lake while all five chaperones watched us and some even joined in. the sun was unusually warm for a mid-October day and I was loving it. Mr. Hudgens had the mind to bring a stereo and everyone was either in the water splashing and swimming or on the sand tanning or dancing, it was real fun, especially when I got to see Mr. Hudgens removing his shirt. He looked like an Abercrombie model with all his tanned perfection. As I watched him grab a bottle of sunscreen and lather it on his arms and stomach my breath caught in my throat. His arm muscles were rippling in a way that very much implied that he worked out on a regular basis. He caught me looking and before he could send me a teasing look to let me know he’d caught me for the second time today checking him out, I looked away and told Casey and Tasha I’d race them to the water.

The water felt great on my skin, nice and cool and before I knew it, I was going deeper and deeper into the water. Everyone on shore was having such a great time that I don’t think they even noticed how far out I was now. I went under water and let my eyes explore my surroundings to find huge pebbles of different colors and underwater plants; it looked like something off of The Little Mermaid. I was having such a good time flipping and floating across the water until I was abruptly pulled out of my Zen state when I heard a splash coming from about 10 feet away from me. Or so I thought. I didn’t want to let my mind get carried away but I was starting to get a bad feeling about being all alone out here in the middle of the water. I decided I should swim back. As I was paddling back I looked out and saw Mr. Hudgens on the shore looking at me with a thoughtful expression. I assumed he was probably worried so I started to lift my hand in an attempt to wave that everything was alright, until I felt a hand grab my ankle and yank hard, dragging me completely under with no fresh air in my lungs.

Once my body was fully consumed under water, I felt two more hands on my shoulders holding me down. I was filled with panic and automatically started to struggle and twist my body. I did this for about 4 seconds when I realized it was not getting me anywhere and at this rate i was only going to drown quicker. I grabbed one of my attacker’s arms and pinched real hard. This startled him just enough to let go. After this quick victory my adrenalin kicked in and I realized that I should be kicking! So that’s exactly what I did, I kicked and kicked until I felt his hands release my foot. Almost instantaneously I made contact with my attacker’s stomach. Jackpot! At that moment I threw my head out of the water and after a much needed breath of fresh air, i screamed at the top of my lungs while kicking and punching like a lunatic. After a second I realized I was kicking plain water, no one was here. I let out a breath and just as I was about to let my body go limp in the water i felt two arms encircle me. I screamed again while I thrashed and threw my head back until I felt my scull make contact with I think was a nose and this new person let me go at once. “Savannah, what happened? I saw you go under, why are you screaming!” Mr. Hudgens shouted at me while pinching the bridge of his nose.
