I go to meet Shay in her room but she isn't there. I trudge through the sea of people surrounding the activities that the camp had been organised to help us "engage with the nature of our elders".
I go outside to sit in the sun but there are a flock of boys flouncing around. They all scattered as soon as I arrived except from one. He was and blonde, he was looking at the view and stayed quiet when I approached him. I recognised him immediately, Peter Jones.
He looked away as I opened my mouth. I took a step in front of him and held his shoulders, forcing him to look into my eyes. He looks sad or depressed like he doesn't want me to be here. I close my mouth and retract my hands and head away. But I don't get two meters away before I hear him say
"What did she do to you, Rubi? Why do you hate Hanna so much?" I have no words. Why do I hate Hanna? Is it because she has friends and a nice family? Yes, but shouldn't I be happy for her? I look at Peter and run into his arms sobbing again. He is taken aback and tries to shrug me off but I stay locked around him. He peels me off enough for me to look up at him and he leans down and kisses me gently. It was a soft and tender, loving kiss.
My tears stop streaming and me face goes red. He cradles my neck and holds my waist. I feel like ii am flying. As he breaks away I finally breathe. I lean on his shoulder and look over the vineyard and mountains situated below in the valley.
I start to see the beautiful aspects of this camp and focus on the positives. I am going to try again with Hanna. And I might even start dating Peter.
