Chapter 19:

Alex's POV

After eating lunch, the day just passes by like a blur. Nothing much happened. I didn't see Sam or Connor after lunch. I just spend the whole afternoon with the rest of the team. At the very moment, it was getting dark and I had to find Sam. I don't really have troubles looking for Sam since I know where exactly she could be. She's always by the lake.

Once I got to the lake, I saw two people-and only two people, a girl and a boy. They were sitting at a bench near a rose bush. I could recognize the girl-it's Sam. I looked closely on Sam, from where I was standing, she has been crying. I stood there wondering why Sam was crying and why that guy is with Sam. Was he comforting Sam? I took two steps forward to get a closer view of the guy-it was Connor. That's why they were gone, they were here. But what for? Was something wrong? If there was, why didn't Sam tell me about it? She could always tell me anything, since we are best friends.

Maybe she just needed to be alone but somehow Connor came and comforted her. Maybe that's it.

I took a few steps back so I won't disturb them. Connor could make her feel better. I kept staring at them and they look really cute together.

"I know right." I jump a little at the sudden voice. I turned to the person.

"The HECK?! You scared me." I smack his arms, playfully.

"Sorry." He mumbled. "Riley's gonna be so mad at him."

"And why would he be mad at him?"

"Don't tell him, I told you, okay?" he assumes me and I nod. "Riley likes Sam a lot and I have no idea if what he did days ago went."

"What did he do?" I curiously ask.

"He confessed to Sam."

I was taken aback, "Really? How come Sam didn't bother to tell me about it?"

"Riley didn't even bother to tell me about the outcome." Toby stated.

We stood there in silence far from Sam or Connor's view. We both stared at the two. The silence was slowly getting awkward, so I decided to break it.

"Does Connor like Sam?" I asked.

"He really likes Sam. Both my brothers like her."

"Oh......" I said having no other words to comment.

"Yeah." He softly said. I could sense he was smiling or something.

"That would cost a huge trouble." I commented.

"I know. But I think Riley doesn't like her the way he liked her the first week of camp. I think his distancing himself from her. Maybe it's something about what Sam told him when he confessed. It looks like his feelings for Sam is slowly disappearing."

"How do you know about that when he didn't tell you anything about it?"

"I don't." Toby said. "I just notice it and it's merely a guess, as well."

"Really Toby?! Really?!"

"I honestly don't know." He defended.

"Ok." I smiled. "So...you do you think looks cute together, Sam and Connor or Sam and Riley?"

"If you ask me-"

I cut him off. "I am asking you, dumbass."

"I knew that." Trying to perfect a British accent, which he didn't. "Well, I think Connor and Sam look cute together. Just looking at them right there makes them so perfect."
