so Awkward

K

Lizzie heard little knocks in her cabin door. She rolled out of the bed, planning to give whoever it was a piece of her mind, she swung the door open pausing when she saw Joel with a rose pen.

"I couldn't afford roses so I got you this." He smiled passing it to her.

"Awe thanks, its sticky." She frowned slightly

"Yeah I just made it." Joel smiled happy with himself. "Wanna go on a walk with me."

"Isn't that how most horror movies start?" she asked crossing her arms.

"I'll protect you with my strong muscles." Joel giggled showing off his arm muscles.

Lizzie took his hand as he walked to the now fixed dock. Lizzie laughed thinking of Joel's "slipup" he then pushed her in the water him jumping in after her.

There heads bobbed out of the water, "what was that for!?" Lizzie yelled wiping the water away from her eyes.

"This," Joel said as he splashed her in the face.

"Oh you're gonna get it," Lizzie said jumping on his back and pushing him under water. As he was under water he grabbed her wrists and flipped her over and caught her in his arms.

They both popped up from the water Lizzie still in Joel's arms as they laughed.

Joel took his chance pressing his lips to Lizzie. Lizzie happily kissed him back

Lizzie pulled back slapping him.

"Why did you slap me!?" Joel asked

"I don't know!" She replied hysterically

Then kissed him as Joel struggled to keep them both afloat.

Joel was walking Lizzie back to her cabin so she could get out of her wet clothes.

"Sooo," Lizzie said awkwardly playing with her bracelets.

"Are we uh?" Joel said trying to find the words.

Lizzie knew what he meant though. "Um yea yea I think we are," she said with a smile taking his hand in hers.

"Does that mean I can kiss you whenever?" He asked sheepishly grow a light shade of pink.

"Yeah." She giggled. Kissing him then closing the cabin door right when he was about to kiss her.

"I'll get you back for that," Joel said through the door.

"Is that Joel!" Lizzie's cabin mates shrieked.

"Yea," Lizzie said grabbing clothes and a towel.

"Do you think he wants to see me?" She asked with a big goofy grin on her face. Lizzie was so caught up in her moment with Joel she forgot all the other girls were falling for him to.

Lizzie bit her lip, "yeaa I don't think so," Lizzie said brushing her hair.

"And why not?" the girl said looking I the mirror fixing her hair and outfit.

"Because, we're a thing now," Lizzie stated. Yet she was unaware that Joel was still standing outside her door.

"Oh please," the girl said as she opened the door and Joel fell in.

"Jesus are you okay?" Lizzie asked giving him a hand, pushing the other girl away.

"Yea," Joel smiled as he blushed and gave her a quick kiss, then another one and another one.

"Its like I'm addicted to you lips, they taste like lollies." He giggled kissing her one more time then remembering she shared it with another counselor.

"Heather, Stephanie." He waved slowly backing out the cabin then bolting to his own.

Heather huffed flipping her hair climbing back in bed.

Lizzie heard her mutter "bitch" under her breath.

"Excuse me, what?" Lizzie asked.

"Oh nothing, it's just Joel was like ya know, ours," Heather stated emphasizing ours. "Then you come along and just.. Take him for yourself," she continued.

"You know he's not my property right?" Lizzie asked. "And he's not yours either," she said getting mad.

"Well yea, but he's kinda taken," said Heather.

"Yea no I realized, we're kinda in a relationship," Lizzie said, sarcasm in her voice.

"God bitch what don't you get, Joel is mine!" Heather said getting up and walking over to Lizzie. "And if you want to enjoy the rest of your camp time, I suggest you stay away from him."

"And I suggest you don't tell me what to do, Joel can 1. Speak for himself and 2. Doesn't want anything to do with you anymore," Lizzie said walking out of the cabin.
