So here I am on my last day of camp. It was the best week of my life. However I made a fool of my self a few times in front of who you're guessing? Well lucky number thirteen.

"Let's go to the beach" squealed Gracie. As the other girls scream with enjoyment, I get my stuff ready. We wonder on down to the beach, and I notice a familiar face down by the snack bar. If it isn't the guy from baseball, from that restaurant. I find myself walking, I'm his direction. My legs keep moving, I can't stop them. He turns around just in time to collide into me. Great (sarcasm). I'm so embarrassed. He says with a smirk "watch where you're going little lady". I shoot back "just cause your tall doesn't mean you can look past everyone and walk where you want, look down sometimes some of us are short. He smiles and walks towards his friends. I never really noticed how tall he is but up close I'm only just reach his shoulders with the too of my head. His red fire color hair flows back in that stupid style all the guys have it now a days. If you ask me every boy here needs a hair cut. He's a stereotypic ginger, tall, pall, and lanky. But something about me finds him cute, I find myself sitting on the beach day dreaming about him. Then I snap out of it. Sara you have Liam! What are you doing?! He finally might like you back. Don't ruin it for some boy you just met. I make it my mission to stay away from him. I talk to some of Jallia about him and I'll I get is "he's bad news, stay away from him!". I find it strange that I've never noticed him before the baseball games. Apparently he goes to my youth group (which gives reason for why he's here). Jallia says him and her had a thing back in February, he slept with her and broke her heart. "He's a player and you know it, stay away" she says in such an angry tone towards me. I can't understand why she's getting mad, like I haven't said more than two sentences to him.

I manage to go the entire morning without seeing him. I've changed my route to breakfast to go past the Danbury cabin, instead of my towns boy cabin. In fear he might walk out and try and talk to me. Who am I kidding he wouldn't talk to me. Then at breakfast I find myself sitting at a table with boys and girls, all from my area. There's an empty chair beside me and guess who sits down. Frig. I turn around to notice plenty of empty seats. Why did he sit here? Would it be rude if I left? Whatever I'll suffer through it. As I'm eating my eggs he says something about loving the cheese in the eggs, I freak and spit then everywhere. How embarrassing. Good one sara. He seems confused at first then chuckles. "It's not funny! I'm highly allergic to cheese" I spit. He replied with "calm down sara I was joking, I knew about the allergy, I was just messing". Wait what? He knows my name and one of my hundred allergies. How? I only just met this boy. I don't even know his name. Someone tells across the table "way to go Keen". Nvm his name is Keen, I like that name. The name the hair, he's Irish. Me too! I wonder from what part his family's from. No sara, you already have Liam. I excuse myself and go clean up.

So I find myself forced to be 40 feet in the air, walking on some wooden planks. High ropes course. Not for me. Not at all. I just happen to be really really afraid of heights. I started crying the second I stepped foot on the first part. Too late to turn back unless I wanted to un hitch my harness and just to the starting area. Ah no thanks. So I'm making my way through this stupid course. How on earth do people do this for fun? This is crazy. I finally make it to the end. Phew it's over. "Okay you made it, now wipe away those tears and jump down" the instructor says. "What?!?!? You mean I just jump off this ledge? You have got to be out of your mind." He finds himself laughing and I cry even more. I'm so afraid of heights. I knew this was a bad idea. How ever I'm in the highest part of being a student in youth, so I have to set an example. Yeah having a panic attack at the end, not even to mention crying the whole way through. Really just scream she did it so can I. So it's been close to 20 minutes and I'm still refusing to go. Out of all the voices coaxing me to come down, I hear one that stands out. Keen. Wow. Honestly, there you go again sara embarrassing yourself. He's sanding at the bottom trying to convince me to come down. He actually sounds caring, unlike the rest of the group they're all laughing. I'm humiliated. There's a hint of worry in his voice. There's also worry in my instructors voice too. I'm breathing so quick and fast that I'm not giving my harness time to loosen after breaths. Which mean it's slowly compressing on my boobs. Which aren't big so my lungs are feeling the pain. I finally decide to just jump, I'd rather die that face all these people anyways. My feet hit the ground, woah I didn't die. I'm okay? I slowly check my body, feet yes, arms yes, tummy yes, legs yes, hands yes, head yes. Okay so that was terrible. I find myself laying on the ground for a good hour.

I go spent the rest of the day with the other girl cabin from my area. We're all in the hot tub, when number 13 steps in. Just then the group if girls has to leave it's their tubbing time. Great I'm left alone partially naked with Keen. The player. He starts talking, I figure I better listen "I knew they were leaving soon". I smirk "that's creepy, you can go to jail for stalking". He laughs and shushes me "I won't tell if you don't" he says with a wink. I feel those same butterflies that I always get around Liam. I feel a hand run up my thigh, I quickly move back. Thank god I shaved today though aha. "Woah there baker just sweetly rubbing your leg, just thought you still might be nervous about earlier". Baker? How does he know that's my last name. And that's Liam's thing to call me by my last name what's Keen doing. "I'm fine but don't bring that up it was humiliating". I say softly. "Awh I wanted to scoop you up in a hug you looked so scared" He says. "I wasn't scared" I say sarcastically "and as if I'd let you wrap those arms around me keen". He smiles and I get up and out of the hot tub containing us both. "Where ya going baker?" He questions. "Away from you, I don't wanna catch herpes, which is a possibility in hot tubs, the hot circulating water makes the virus easy to be spread" oh there I go again being smart. Face palm. He laughs "too bad I don't have herpes". I shout back "with the amount of girls you've been with that's shocking" he smirks and says I could be next an something else I didn't quite catch. I keep walking.

My tummy is filled with butterflies and nervous pains. I can't stop replying our time together no sara no. Remember Liam? That boy back home. Hello he might actually have feelings for you, unlike this player. Don't blow it.
