Chapter Sixteen: Boo!

Once we got in the car we were somewhat squished. Luke sat in the passenger seat, Finn in the middle, and me driving.

I sang along to the songs on the radio as my fingers tapped the wheel. After about an hours drive we reached the campsite.

We found a perfect spot and started unloading. During the unloading I realized something.

"Shit." I said rummaging the trucks bed. "Shit, shit, shit!" I wanted to punch the truck.

"What is it?" Finn asked as he came back from setting the cooler down.

"I forgot to bring a tent for myself." I heard Luke laugh as he set up his own tent and I sent him a glare.

"You can share with me." Finn offered. My eyes widened but I accepted. A while later Em, Jason, and Alex arrived. They emptied out their trailer and soon enough we were all set.

By the time we were done it was dinner time. Alex and Luke were arguing about who should start the fire whilst Jason and Finn looked for some wood.

"Hot dogs or soup?" Em turned to me, hold hot dogs in one hand and a can of soup in the other.

"I'm pretty sure they would prefer hot dogs." I chuckled as she grinned. I grabbed the sticks and she grabbed the buns and hotdogs.

Alex and Luke had now gotten into a fight and they looked like two year olds as they slapped each other's hands. I rolled my eyes as Jason came and dropped wood bear the fire area.

"I'll just start it." He says taking responsibility. I pull up a lawn chair and help Jason set the wood up.

Next thing you know there's a nice fire and we are all eating. "Let's tell some ghost stories!" Em says as she munches on Pringles.

I smile and agree with her. "Anyone have any good stories?" And that is how our night escalated from fun, to even more fun.

"And she was never seen again." Alex whispered in a hushed voice. All of us on the edge of our seats from his scary story. "Boo!" We all screamed but ended up laughing.

I then yawned, the fire was dying out and it was getting late. "I think I'm going to head to the tent." They all started agreeing, Jason had been long gone, about an hour ago he headed to Em and his tent but quickly fell asleep.

"Goodnight." We all said amongst each other as we headed off to our tents. I then came to realization that I was sharing a one person tent with Finn.

It doesn't help that I had slept with Finn, or the fact that I might have undeclared feelings for him. As I entered the tent I turned my back so it was facing him and started changing. I pulled on a long sleeves pajama shirt and some shorts.

I got into my sleeping bag and couldn't help but watch Finn change. His abs moved as he removed his shirt and put a new one on.

As he turned around I quickly turned the other way, not wanting him to catch me staring at him. I heard the click of the flashlight turn off and his sleeping bag shuffle as he climbed inside it.

His closeness sent butterflies in my stomach and I smiled. "Good night River."

"Good night." I closed my eyes and fell asleep to the sound of rustling leaves, and the sound of nature nearby.

I woke up in the middle of the night. I sprung up and looked to my left. Finn was sleeping quietly, but lightly snoring. It was really cute. I layed back down and stared at the tap of the tent. 

I honestly hated having these feelings for Finn. I turned my body to face him. Some strands of his hair fell on his face and it made my heart flutter. I smiled and studied his features.

His blonde hair was needed for a haircut, but it looked sexy longer. I studied his cheeks and he had a faint showing of freckles. I wanted to touch his face and touch his hair. I laid back down on my back and thought. What would happen if we weren't friends, but more? Shut up brain! 

I decided on turning away from him and faced the other way. Why am I suddenly feeling these feelings now?

I closed my eyes and tried sleeping but I couldn't. I wish I could undo these feelings but at the same time I wish that he felt the same. Maybe somethings are meant to happen and others aren't.

About an hour later I still wasn't asleep and was literally looking up at the same blue tent ceiling. I could see little spiders and bugs trying to crawl in, but then I heard some rustling and felt arms creep around me. I turned my head to see Finn snuggled up against me. His blonde hair was sweeping in his face and he pulled me closer to him. My cheeks flushed and I'm glad that he couldn't see me right now.

I finally fell asleep around two o'clockish, with a huge grin on my face.

I AM SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING. To be honest I had writers block for this chapter, and the first couple weeks of school have been rough and I've been busy. I also have been busy writing this new story I started called Cliff. Basically its somewhat based around my life so go check it out. But again, sorry for not updating. I promise I will try to update as frequently as I can. For the last month I've been staring at the same words on this screen and had no inspiration. BUt anyways I have to get going. Math is almost over.
