Summer Love

Chapter 3

"Riley, wake up its prime time."

I opened my eyes and were met with chocolate brown eyes. Quantum was shaking me awake. I got up and tried helping him up. Emma, Flora, and Riley were already half way to the cabin. 

"Walk me to my cabin." I said while Quantum looked for his campers.

"Yea okay, I don't see any of the boys so I guess Sirius took them." 

We start heading towards the cabins when Quantum stops.

"What's wrong Quantum?"  I was confused. He looked really troubled. 

"Are you going to come meet me at the Glenn?"  

"Why wouldn't I? You asked me to and I will come."

He nods and keeps walking. Once we get to my cabin he nods again and keeps walking to his cabin. I walked in and nobody notices. Nobody ever notices. I swear it's only been a few hours and they already forget I am in this cabin. I head out of the cabin and follow behind everyone else to Quininea. Once there the cabin sits down and I sit a few feet away. All of sudden a shadow appears beside me. I look up to see the speckled counsellor sit right beside me and placing his hand to where it is brushing mine. The Pine cabin sits right beside him making it look like I am apart of their cabin. 

The leader of the camp tells us that we are playing Clue. He then tells us we need to stay in cabins groups. Quantum starts to frown. If we have to stay in cabin groups then that means that Quantum can't talk to me in the Glenn. The leader finishes the rules and tells us to get started. I start to get up when Quantum trips my ankle. I fall and scream when my ankle snaps a bit. I start crying when I realize that I twisted my ankle. My cabin looks to see what happens and Riley comes running.

"Riley are you okay?" She asks. She looks at me and winks.

"Pond I can take her. Sirius is okay with my cabin and I can just carry Riley to the nurse. It will make it easier for you and her." Quantum explains with a glint in his eye. This was his plan. He was going to minorly hurt me so he can talk to me on the way to the nurse.

Pond nods and walks away with the cabin. It's nice to know my cabin counsellors care about me. Quantum picks me up bridal style and slowly starts making his way to the nurse. Once we are ten meters away from ear shot Quantum starts to talk.

" Riley I know your just turning fifteen and I'm eighteen and I know we just met but I really..."

I shut him up by kissing him. Not the French kissing or anything just a small kissing. That was my first kiss. Quantum took my first kiss. I don't even know his real name but I kissed him anyways.

" I like you too. But I don't know your name. We don't really know each other."

" Than tell me ten things about yourself and I'll do the same." He said.

"Okay well...I am fifteen soon. I live in Hamilton. I go to Henderson secondary. I want to become a teacher. I have one brother and a half sister. I have anxiety. I am antisocial. I am scared of pretty much anything. My favourite colour is blue. My favourite food is Italian because I am Italian. Lastly, I really like you." I said while I kissed him in the cheek.

"That was eleven but okay. My turn. My real name is Ethan Howthon. I am seventeen turning eighteen. I live in Ancaster.  I am going to my fourth year of  high school meaning that I am in grade 12. I have a younger brother. My favourite drink is kool-aid. I talk in my sleep. I want to work with robots. My favourite colour is red. I am a complete nerd. Lastly, I like you a lot too." He replied and gave me a kiss on the lips.

"There now we know a bit more about each other Riley. I do like you. It sounds wrong because it's a bit illegal and because I am a counsellor and your a camper but I don't care. You are really pretty and you seem funny and smart and I would love to go out with you." He says.

I thought about it for a bit. I mean he has way more experience with dating and kissing and all that. I've never had a boyfriend or even thought about one, which leads me to this question.

"Are you a virgin?" 

He looks down at me and almost drops me.

"Yes. Why wouldn't I be?"

"I mean your almost eighteen and it's 2016. Most kids my age aren't even virgins. I am but others aren't."

"Well I am." 

Finally I come to my conclusion. 

"I would love to date you. But I need to tell you a few things. I have never French kissed or really ever kissed before. You were my first kiss."

"Well then," he says, "I guess I'll just have to teach you." 

And with that he put me down slowly and carefully. He then brought his hands to my cheeks and  brought his lips to mine. I had no idea what I was doing. All of a sudden Ethan swiped his tongue across my bottom lip. I gasped and he pushed his tongue in my mouth. At first I thought it was disgusting but I got used to it. He started moving his mouth against mine and I started doing the same on the opposite side. I brought my hands up to the back of his neck because I could only reach that far up. He noticed that and grabbed my thighs and picked me up. I squealed and let go of him.

"How can you carry me?" I ask, " I weigh almost 200lbs."

"Who cares Riley? I'd like you even if you were 1000lbs."

He started walking the rest of the way to the nurses and I just held on like a baby. When we got there, he put me down slowly and helped support me up the stairs. When we got in the office the nurse told me it was just twisted and that she is going to put a long bandage around my ankle and to use the crutches for the night only. She said I would be good after tonight to do whatever I please. Once I got the bandage on and was handed the crutches, Ethan and I left the office and made our way to my cabin. Prime time was still going on but I was told to go get my pjs on to make it easier before it gets dark.

At the cabin Ethan opened the door for me and went to my bed and grabbed a pair of pjs for me. The only problem was that I wasn't able to put them on my own. Now you might say, well Ethan can put them on for you but we just started dating an hour ago. I am not that comfortable around him. But I guess he was already thinking.

"Riley I know this might be awkward but I'll help you put your shirt on. I will not look down at your chest at all because we just started dating and that's just wrong. For your underwear you should probably do that yourself and if you really need help with your shorts I can help with those."

I nodded and we did what he said. Once we were done we went outside. It was starting to get cold and my arms were freezing. I thought my whole body would be cold because I am wearing short shorts and a t-shirt, but only my arms are cold.

"Cold?" Ethan asked.

I nodded. Ethan told me to wait. He ran to the Pine cabin and came back out with a light blue Montreal Canadiens sweater. He held onto me while putting on the sweater for me. The sweater went down to my knees making it look like I wasn't wearing shorts. I smiled at him and leaned for a kiss. He bent down a bit and kissed me softly and slowly. We broke apart and made our way over to the lodge to wait for our cabins.
