I Fell In Love With The Boy From The Woods

Chapter 3

Eric

This collection went like the rest of them, “Dammit Eric move, why can’t he just sit in the car.”

“We can’t trust him. You saw what he tried to do last time. The little asshole.”

“You do know that I can here you, right?”

“Shut up!”

I laughed at their annoyed expressions. I don’t know why they continue to argue with me, I do the same thing every time. Though this time Jack decided to elbow me in the nose when he passed. Trust it hurt him more than me, the dumbass almost lost his tooth. I don’t know what made him think that he could beat me, but I gotta admit that was the highlight of my day.

“Alright were done here. Go get your shit so we can go.”

“Whatever”

The ride sucked like hell. Five hours in a car where everyone smelled like blood and sweat could make anyone appreciate camping in the woods for the next two months, except me.

“Can I just sleep in the car?”

“And let you drive off and leave us here, no”

“You can keep the keys I just don’t want to stay out here”

“No unless you have forgotten how to drive a car.”

“Fine but just know that you’ll have to just here me complain all day”

Of course Jack jumped in “Is little Eric afraid of the woods? Does he think that the big bad animals are going to get him?”

“No, I just don’t want to spend the next two months looking at or having to smell you.”

He had nothing to say after that, “Maybe you should just go set up over there somewhere. It will make us all happy.”

My dad couldn’t help but laugh at that. So we set up the rest of the camp in silence. Evil glares passed to one another through the process. We finished just as the sun went down. Everyone was completely tired so we went to bed without another word. In the afternoon I went for a walk, soon I started to hear music. The further I walked the louder the music got and the more I wanted to find the source. Following the sound led me to a little meadow, revealing the most amazing girl ever. She moved gracefully to the music, her blonde hair blowing and twirling as she spun and flipped to the melody. I quickly pulled out my drawing pad and tried to capture her figure, her face, and the forest around her. Apparently I took too long to draw it (or she heard the stick that broke under my foot) because she turned a stared at me. As I stared back completely embarrassed I realized that she had big hazel eyes that seemed to contrast with her hair making them stand out.

Victoria

Early morning wake ups are so not my thing. At 5 in the morning Brianna busted into my room and dragged me out back (can she at least have waited till the sun came up) and started swinging a sword at me. Quickly dodging it I landed on my face let me tell you that hurt like hell.

“What the hell is wrong with you?” She smiled sweetly at me when I said that.

“I told you we were training today” She started to look confused, I guess trying to remember whether or not she told me.

“I remember that but what kind of training is this. I thought you were going to help me with my dance moves.” What kind of training is this? I mean I don’t even get to rest a day, and, what the hell is up with her and that sword. 

“Sooooo Michel didn’t tell you.”

“Tell me what?”

“Sorry I forgot. Brianna’s gonna teach you how to fight.” My (oh soooo lovely) brother said coming out of the trees.

“I went for a run this morning”

“IT’S F’ING 5 IN THE MORNING. WHAT THE HELL, DON’T YOU PEOPLE SLEEP!”

“No not really” they sang together.

“You know what, I’m done we can try again tomorrow. At reasonable hours!!!” I stormed away hearing their laughing in the background. I buried myself underneath my covers and passed out. I woke up around two and decided to take a walk through the woods. I brought my radio so that I could have something to listen to. After a few minutes of walking I found this pretty little meadow with a ring of flowers around it. I decided that this was the perfect place to stop and rest when my favorite song came on the radio. The speakers were blasting Domino by Jessie J and I started to move with the beat. Following the routine we made a few weeks earlier I started to lose myself in the song when I heard a twig snap. I stopped and turned to see what it was when I saw one of the sexiest boys in my life. He had jet black hair and blue-ish gray eyes. He had on black jeans and a dark blue t-shirt.  He stared at me in shock.

“Eric.  Eric. ERIC!!!!”

So I guess his name is Eric because the gorgeous boy turned with a horrified look on his face.

“Run.”

“What?”

“RUN!!”

I ran trying to remember how to get back to the house. Finally the house was in view and I ran into a dark solid shape. The thing shocked me when it screamed with me. 

“What are you doing out here Michel?!?!?!?!?!?!”

“I came looking for you. Ashley called she was looking for you. You’re supposed to call her back.”

“Ok ill do that now.”

“Wait! Why were you running like someone was trying to chase you.”

“Oh, I had to pee. Actually I still have to.”

With that I walked quickly back to the house and called Ashley. I was not going to tell her about Eric (well at least not yet) but I was telling her about Brianna and her training.
