19 Rules [on-going]

C h a p t e r 8

*A/nN : ugh! so sorry for the super late update. I have been really busy with NaNoWriMo. Haven't proof read it.

I zipped my bag and plopped onto my bed. The only thing I had been really thankful for in the past two weeks was the fact that my dad postponed his visit by a month. 

“LEAH! If you don’t come down now I swear to god I won't hesitate leaving without you.” I heard Harry scream from downstairs. I had made the whole schedule lag behind by an hour.

Being the typical person I was, I forgot that the camping trip was today. So, when I found myself questioned as to whether I was ready to leave, I panicked - realizing I had not packed anything.

But it just so turns out, I’ve been lucky enough to be surrounded by large-tempered, kind-hearted and very generous people who have all sorts of characteristics that I lack.

“Yeah one sec,” I rushed with the two bags which were hurriedly packed. One of them even had a blue towel peeping through one of the zips. 

“Good, let’s go.”

“Woo!” Charlotte hooted along with Cece. Which was weird because Charlotte was not really going to camp with us.

We all settled into cars; me, CeCe and Haley in one, and the rest of the lads in another. To make up for the delay I volunteered to drive.

To make our ride more entertaining, I slid down the roof of the convertible I had been driving for about an hour or so.  

“….and he just randomly asked me out, we went on a dates and well, I dunno he just started calling me his girlfriend. It’s really cute though.” I pretended to not listen to Haley as she drooled over Niall and turned up the volume of the radio.

I let my hair fall down and then have it picked up by the wind so it could fly chaotically. I pulled up my shades to my head so it would stop the stray strands of hair from getting into my eyes and mouth.

“Harry and you are so cute together.” I turned around to face CeCe. I stared at her with a wide-eyed gaze.

“LEAH! EYES ON THE ROAD!” I quickly turned back, struggling with the wheel and managed to drive in two different directions in a matter of five seconds.

But I did get back on track with the car lanes and resumed driving – like normal people do.

“Sorry about that, so what were you saying CeCe? Something about Harry and me?” I felt like I was probing too hard for something that shouldn’t excite me so much.

“Oh right, I said the two of you look cute together.”

“Thanks,” I replied, trying to keep my tone casual and bland.

We started descending into the forest, it was a lot of trees at first and then just plain green land.

The monotonous shades of bright green and the changing color of the sky ran through miles, this place was so soothing to the eyes – a perfect camping area.

But, around five kilometers from the desired destination, the car we were travelling in broke down.

“Stupid piece of shit!” I cursed, as I raised my leg and kicked the bumper.

“HEY! Stop that, it’s not the car’s fault.” Cece screamed back at me, defending the inanimate object which had a sexy red paint-job.

“And what seems the problem my lovely ladies?” I turned to face Harry’s voice, his smile spread across half of his face.

“The damn car broke down and uh….have a look?”

“Make way ladies.” Dustin pushed past the small crowd we had formed and took a quick look at the car engine and spoke again.
