I love you, best friend.

Chapter Three

 The next morning, I was awakened by Engel. Everyone in our cabin was still asleep.
"What time is it?" I asked, eyes half closed.
"5 o'clock." he said.
"WHAT. WHY THE HELL ARE WE UP?" I whispered loudly.
"Follow me, I wanna show you something."
"I'm tired though."
Engel sat on the edge of my bunk and told me to grab on. I did.
He led me down to the beach, right as the sun was rising.
"Wooah." I said, eyes looking up at the sunrise. 
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" He said.
I nodded.
He put me down, then ran and jumped in the water.
"Engel! What are you doing?!" I hollered.
"Join me?"
"You're fucking crazy." I giggled.
"Pleaaaase." He begged.
I walked feet deep into the clear, blue ocean.
"This is as far as I'm going." I clarified. 
"I can work with that." He said, with a smirk on his face.
He stood up and started toward me.
"DON'T YOU DARE, ENGEL!" I yelled, as he ran toward me.
"ENGEL!" I screamed, running away from him.
He caught my hand, and pulled me into a wet, salty hug.
"I h-ha-t-e y-o-ou." I shivered.
He picked me up, and threw me into the ocean.
When my head came up from the water, he was a few inches away from me.
"You. Are. Such. An. Ass, Engel."
We laughed.
"I know." he said.
We splashed each other and swam in the water for about an hour, before I started shivering. He came toward me and wrapped me in a hug. 
"Come on, let's go before we get caught."
I nodded.

Around 8, I was re-awoken by Mrs. Swats.

"Okay guys, time to get up and get ready, we've got a big day ahead of us! You've got an hour, or you're left behind!!"

Everyone got up and started getting ready. Although, I already was since I was up at 5.

I left the Cabin and met up with Emma and Amber.
"Hey guys!" I called.
"Ooo, Mila in a group with Engel, hows that treeatin' ya'?" Emma said.
Emma and Amber knew that I liked Engel, and they ship us as a couple. Not just because they're my friends, but because Engel and I do everything together.
I smiled, "Shut up. How's your group?"
"Pretty good, actually. Everyone's really nice. How's yours?" Replied Amber.
"Well, I don't really know anyone besides Engel." I said.
"Speaking of which, you might wanna get back to him, we only have about ten minutes until Swats wants us for breakfast." Emma responded.

I headed back to the cabin, where I over heard Engel talking to someone. I peeked in to discover that it was Anastasia. 
"You're so beautiful." Engel told her.
It looked like she was blushing.
He moved the hair out of her face and kissed her.
I walked away, trying to hold back my tears, and sat down on the beach.

"Are you okay?" I heard someone say.
I looked behind me to see Marx and quickly wiped away my tears.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"You must really like him." He said.
I looked at him, "That obvious?" I said.
He put his arm around me, and I rested my head on his shoulder.
"It's okay. You're a strong girl, you'll be okay. Come on, we better get back before Mrs. Swats kills us."
I chuckled. "Yeah, let's go."

Later that night, we were all out by the campfire. Marx came to sit by me.
"Hey nerd, how you holding up?" he asked.
"I'm okay. Have you see Engel recently?"
"Yeah, he's in the cabin. He said he'll be out in a few."

An hour had passed of marshmellow roasting, smores, and some campfire songs, when Engel finally showed up.. holding hands with Anastasia. My eyes dropped to the ground.
"Uuh, wanna go for a walk?" Marx asked me.
I nodded.

We walked along the beach shore and talked.
"Wanna play truth or dare?" He asked with a smirk.
I giggled. "Why not."
"Okay. Truth or Dare?"
"Mmm.. truth."
"Pussy." he laughed. "Okay. How long have you liked Engel?"
I thought for a moment. "Since seventh grade." I replied.
"Wow." He said.
"Mkay. Truth or Dare?" I said, raising my eyebrows.
"Dare." 
"I dare you to run to the other side of the beach and back."
He looked at me smiling, then started running.
Halfway to the other side, he fell face first into the sand. I laughed as I made my way towards him.
"Don't laugh that actually hurt!" He said, then started laughing himself.
"MILA, MARX!" Brooke yelled, charging toward us.
"What?" We replied.
"Swats wants us back in our capins now." She said, heavily breathing.
We headed back to the cabin.
