Chapter 3

"W-who are you?" I whispered after he let go of my mouth, still afraid.

Charles Point of View~

"Its me" I whispered. I couldn't see her properly, but i could tell she's really scared. Her body is trembling and it looked like she was still crying because she was having trouble catching her breath.

"Well naturally! I know its YOU, you've said that already. But, who ARE you?" She retorted sarcastically.

I chuckled, then my chuckle grew louder then became a laugh. This girl is absolutely incredible! She still manages to be her sarcastic self even though were in a serious situation.

"What's so funny?!" She complained. I laughed some more then replied; "i believe you asked that already, Chloe" I whispered in her ear. Even though its dark, i can tell by her gasp that she's surprised and already guessed who i am.

"Charles?!" She exclaimed in realization. I laughed again at her late realization.

"You only realize that now?" I said in-between laughs.

Chloe Point of View ~

I was kind of glad that Charles found me. I was so scared i mean, who wouldn't? I was in a dark jungle all by myself with a dead pan phone for goodness sake!

While he was laughing his face off, i started crying again. I don't usually cry much anymore but tonight is an exception. I was scared to death.

Charles stopped laughing and hugged me, so i hugged back. I felt so warm and safe in his arms right now, i don't know why though. It's probably because i know he's strong enough to protect me in case a wild bear shows up.

We headed back to camp, using only the light from his dim phone may i add. The bonfire had already started and by that time i had already calmed down.

"Where have you been Ms. Evans? You has us worried" Mr. Robinson said when he saw us. Worried my ass. Just before we came he looked like he was having the time of his life. He's as fake as barbie's face, i thought.

I just kept my thoughts to myself and smiled politely. Charles led me to a log bench while he offered to get us both some food.

"Wait here, i'll be right back with some food" before i could refuse and tell him i could do it myself, he was already out of sight.

Great. All the girls at this camp are shooting daggers at me. If looks could kill, i'd already be at my burial sight right now. I ignored them and just rubbed my hands together because i was freezing.

A few minutes later, my vision temporarily turned black as someone had put their sweater over my head. I removed the clothing from my eyes to see who was the one who lent the sweater ands aw that it was only Charles.

"What's this?" I asked, holding his sweater up.

"A sweater, stupid" he teased. I glared at him and he put his left arm up in defense as his right hand was carrying a plate full of food. My mouth watered at the sight. What? I'm super hungry. You can't really blame me.

"Wear that so you won't catch a cold, and close you mouth. You might start drooling" he teased me while holding up the food in front of me.

I, again, glared at him as he sat beside me. He took a spoon full of food and carried it around making strange noises. Kinda like what mother's do to imitate a helicopter just to bribe their babies into eating.

He held the spoon on top of my head then annoyingly said "say ahh" seriously. What's up with this dude? Why can't he just leave me alone.

"Stop it!" I stubbornly said. "Don't be so stubborn. I know you're hungry" he said, like he knows it all.

"Stop pestering me! You're not my boyfriend, piss off" i snapped. I didn't mean to! I just say things when i'm embarrassed.

"Fine then, suit yourself" he said coolly and just ate by himself. He looked pissed despite his actions. His eyes just gave it all away.

Then it dawned on me that he was just being nice. In fact, i never even thanked him yet for saving me in the dark forest. He was nothing but nice and polite to me from the very start.

I was the one who always ruined everything.

On top of that, he never seems to show he's mad even though i can see it in his eyes. He's nice and perfect. I couldn't help but feel the guilt in my gut willing me to say sorry, but i'm too embarrassed.

Charles and I sat there awkwardly, well that's how i feel anyway, for about 5 minutes. Just when i was about ready to muster up all my courage to finally say sorry, my stomach made an inhumanly sound.

Charles surprisingly laughed, which made my whole face turn red.

"Stop being so stubborn and just say 'ahh" Charles said after laughing at my starving state.

After a few more seconds of contemplating wether or not to take him up on his offer, i finally obliged and opened my mouth mumbling an 'ah' sound. I can't look him in the eye though, i'm so embarrassed.

"That wasn't so bad now, ain't it?" He said with a smirk. I grunted in return. He held hiss poon up again and i opened my mouth. He fed it to me. I hid my face with my hair so he wouldn't be able to see my tomato face.

"I can do it by myself!" I complained to him. Not only was i troubled with this 'thing' that's happening between us right now, but i was also troubled by the murderous looks i was getting from the other girls in this camp. Britney and her friends kept giving me the 'stink eye'.

"Its either this, or none" he said. "I'll just get my own food then" i smirked at him. Iw as about to stand up but he stopped me with his words.

"This is the last one. Food is all gone. Go check for yourself" he said with a shrug.

I did as he said and sure enough, there are no more food. I sighed and stomped my way back. He chuckled at me while i stuck my tongue out at him like a child would.

"I told you so. Now come here, i know you're starving" he said.something bubbled up inside me but i don't know what.

"Why are you doing this? Why are you even acknowledging my mere presence when you could have easily just left me alone and gone with popular and pretty girls like Britney?" I asked. I couldn't help it.

"Simple. I think you're different. You're not the other girls who swoon over me and follows me everywhere i go like a lost puppy. And, you're natural" he finished.

I was just about to ask what he meant by me being 'natural' but Mr. Robinson called him tl help clean up after the party. I sighed and just went back to our cabin.

Still though, there were two questions still haunting me up until now.

How did he know i was missing? And how did he even find me?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day after the bonfire party last night, some retched fool woke me up in the most hideous, most irritating and raging way possible in an ungodly hour. Specifically 6:30 am.

You wanna know what that person did to wake me up? Well first, he took a sharpie and drew disturbing things on my face. Then, he took some water from the lake and poured it all over me! Like, come on! Who the hell does that?! It was none other than Charles Lucas Hernandez.

I was so infuriated that i took a huge rock outside the cabin while still dripping wet from the prank he did and threw it at him while he was laughing his head off. Although it had miss, i took a bunch more smaller rocks and threw them all at the same time. He chuckled while trying to dodge my attacks. Some rocks hit him but some don't. I finally stopped when i accidentally hit his face.

I stuck my tongue out at him and ran to the cabin while locking the door. Although it was a stupid move because he has a key, it was definitely worth the try. My eyes grew wide when he opened the cabin door with a devilish grin. I quickly ran to the bathroom and locked it while getting ready for a shower.

"You suck loser!" I shouted from inside the bathroom. I did my little victory dance in front of the mirror while laughing. He just kept banging on the door like a retard while cursing and saying things like 'you're gonna pay for this' and stuff but i ignored it and instead, i took happy a shower.
