And there I was sitting on the bench waiting for my turn to get registered. I looked around and there are a lot of unfamiliar faces here. As I turn my head I saw Shane getting registered and beside her is Pierre. He looked at me and smiled. Though I must admit he is kind of cute but it doesn't change the fact that I still hate him.
"Celle, get registered, I can't wait to know your cabin number. I hope we're on the same cabin!" energetic as always.
I went to the registration area and signed my name on the paper.
"Miss Peters, your cabin number is 12." Said the old lady in the registration boot.
"So? What cabin number did you get?" Shane asked with that huge smile on her face.
"I got cabin number 12. How about you?"
"I got 13. Aww. I wanted to be with you!" and the she made that pouting face.
"Don't worry, this is a good chance to make some new friends."
"Yeah you're right! Common let's settle up our bags and let's explore the area." She said.
I keep on getting this strange feeling as I walked towards my cabin. It's as if like I'm being watched of followed. I turned my head at both sides but I see nothing. Maybe it's just my imagination playing with me again.
I placed the key on the key hole and tried to open it. Surprisingly the door was open already. It seems like my cabin mate has already entered.
I opened the door with enthusiasm knowing that my cabin mate is a girl. "Hi! My name is-"
"Oh Celle, how about that, another coincidence. First it was the sitting arrangement at the bus and now this. We are really destined for each other." He made a huge smile.
"Yeah well destiny has a grudge on me so how 'bout that?" I placed my bag on the bed near the window. I like to have morning sunshine on my face.
"So it looks like we're going to be hanging around much huh?"
"Yeah, sure, whatever."
"Someone's a bit snob." He is getting on my nerves! I don't know why I'm so angry when I'm with him.
"Look, let's be frank. I hate you. I hate everything about you. Your walk, your talk, your hair and your outfit. I don't like being with you. I don't even wanna be near you! And if you think we're gonna be compatible after this you wish! Good day to you!" I went out of the cabin to cool myself down.
I talked with Shane and told her everything that had happened.
"You said that to Pierre Adams?! What were you thinking?!"
"I was thinking of strangling him." And it is totally true!
"Celle, he was being nice." She looks so serious.
"Yeah but... So what should I do now?"
"I think you know what you should do." She opened the door and pointed outside. It's the go-and-apologize-to-him point. I can't believe I'm going to do this.
I opened the cabin door and saw Pierre laying down on his bad reading a book. I sat down and took a deep breath and then looked at him.
"Look, I'm sorry if I was rude a while ago. I don't know what got into me and I just exploded like that. I hope you would forgive me and I... I... I asked that we would be friends." I did not just say that.
I noticed that Pierre seems to be not listening.
"Pierre? Pierre? Did you hear what I just said? Pierre? PIERRE!!!" he is so annoying.
"YES! WHAT?! IS THE CABIN ON FIRE?! HUH?!" he seems to be shocked.
"Did you just hear what I said a while ago? Were you even listening?" I'm getting pissed now.
"Umm... sorry I was listening to music and reading this book. I didn't even notice you came in. So what did you say a while ago?" and he seemed to be so innocent. That... That... AAARRGGHH!!
"AARRGGHH! Never mind... It's not that important anyway." I am so pissed right now.
"Why are you turning red?" he asked. I am?!
"Pay no attention to that!" then I went outside. I was turning red? Maybe because I'm angry.
"He didn't even listen, with all that effort of constructing a sentence. I sucked up all my pride and nothing! AARRGGHH! I hate him!" I was stumping the ground while I was walking.
"Hey! Tomboy! Wait up!"
"What?" I turned around and saw Pierre running towards me.
"Now what do you want?" I asked.
"Look, I was just kidding a while ago. I did hear everything you said and I think it's cool. I wanna be friends. And I forgive you." He slightly raised his hand which stands for a handshake. It took me a minute before I took his hand and shook it. After that he said he needs to go to the bathroom and he left me there standing.
It was 6 pm and it's the camps dinner. I went inside the Dining Cabin and sat down at a vacant seat. The dining cabin is huge. It can fit up to 100 campers or more. I looked around and checked if Shane is somewhere out there. When I turned to my right Pierre was already sitting next to me.
"Pierre! You scared me." And I did get shocked.
"Sorry." Then he smiled.
"Why are you sitting next to me? Aren't you going to sit down with friends?" I only said that to make him go away. Smart move huh?
"You are my friend. So technically I'm sitting with my friends." I guess he's smarter than I thought.
"Whatever." I looked away. I just noticed that everybody is staring. Do I have something on my face? Or is my underwear out in public?
"Why is everybody staring?" I whispered to myself.
"They're staring at you." He heard me whispering. What a whisper?!
"No, they are starting at the both of you. They think the both of you are you know, together." Shane butt in and sat beside me.
"WTH?! Really?! OH MY GOSH! Get away from me!" I pushed Pierre away from me with all my strength. Unfortunately, his big head prevents him from moving.
"They think we're together? Now that's a joke!" he laughed so hard like he was tickled from every part of his body.
"STFU! And get way from me! Ugh!" I stopped pushing not only because I was tired but also because nothing's happening. I stood up and went to get some food and when I came back Shane was the only one sitting at our table.
"Where's my 'boyfriend'?" I asked sarcastically.
"He went outside. Something about him not feeling well." She answered.
"Hmm... maybe diarrhea." Then Shane laughed hard.
After eating, all of the campers went to their own cabins and it is a violation to go outside and roam around. When I was on my way, I saw Pierre went out of the cabin. He seems to be in a hurry. And because I'm curious, I followed him. He went to the woods and it was getting dark.
Where are you going Pierre? It's been like an hour and we still are walking. He stopped and slightly turned his head to the side as if he was checking if there's somebody following him. He then continued walking and stopped at a big tree and went at the back of it.
It's my chance to know what he is doing. And so I rushed to the tree and look at where he went. But he is not there as if he disappeared out of thin air. I felt a sudden chill. Maybe it's just a midnight breeze. Then there's that feeling again. Like I'm being watched; why do I get this feeling? Then I heard something moved from above me. So I looked up but nothing. It was so dark. So I relayed on my senses.
My heart is beating fast. Why did I ever follow that stupid head?! I can only hear the crickets singing. An owl started to speak. And just when all the noise has stopped, a sound of a big bird flying above me drove me crazy. I made 2 steps back and then I felt something went near to my ear and whispered "hey."
