Romance In Rotorua Camp

Chapter 3

Aloca's POV

I placed the last few items of clothing into my suitcase. T-shirts folded neatly followed by two pairs of trainers. I sighed in relief "finally I'm packed" I mumbled to myself.

"You ready?!" Dan asked as he burst through my bedroom door.
" Woahh!!" I jumped "Dan you scared me, don't you know how to KNOCK" I emphasised.
He stood laughing before zipping up my case and carrying it down stairs for me.

He is a good boy, bless him.

It's half term and we're heading on a class camping trip. Something I'm very fond of! I followed Dan down stairs to find my case already loaded in the truck. I ran and kissed my mum goodbye and we left the house, bickering about who was driving.
Of course I lost. I always do.

"Right that's everyone, let's gooo!" Said Mr Crawford as he read the last few names off the register. The bus was full except for two seats, one of which was next to me. Sav was sat behind me next to Ludo listening to that screamo music. How that can be soothing I'll never know. Dan was sat next to Sydney trying his best to flirt, as she was trying her best to ignore him and was sat alone, I put my ear phones in and started listening to Adele, before drifting off into a day dream.

1 hour later

"Mind if I sit ?" I looked over to see Luke hovering over the seat.

"I'm using that seat for my handbag"I replied looking back out the window. Why does this boy keep talking to me!

"Well you're using it for me now" he said looking amused. I rolled my eyes ignoring the fact he was now sat staring at me. His arm brushed against mine and goose bumps rose up, my hairs standing on their ends. He chuckled to himself, clearly noticing the impact his touch had on me.

" So who are you sharing your cabin with?" He asked me
"Ermmm, I don't know yet, we're assigned them by Mr Crawford"

" I've put in a request" he smirked. I turned round to face him looking confused.
" A request... what request?"
" I asked him if I could share a cabin with you or dan, after all you're the ones who have been looking after me" he smiled, knowing full well my heart rate just rose to a thousand times faster.

He has to be kidding me!

" I .. erm, well. I umm." I took a breath. " you can't, its single sexed cabins, it always has been "

" Not this year. Plus why would Mr Crawford suspect anything? It's not like we are an item. Plus I'm confident, we don't seem compatible "

"And I'm not?" I asked

" No" he laughed and put his hand on my knee, making all those goose bumps return. I took a breath in, my eyes staring at his hand. He squeezed my leg before sitting back in the chair, putting his head phones in and pulling his hood up. Closing his eyes and drifting off into a deep sleep.

We arrived two hours later. Numbnuts to my left was still fast asleep. "Luke" I whispered. He didn't move. I prodded him ..... nothing, not even a groan. " LUKE!". He shot up from his seat "help!" He shouted. He looked around and then to me where I was sat holding back a laugh.
Too late, I burst out laughing " aww was someone having a bad dream" I cooed. He smiled shaking his head in embarrassment before standing up and exiting the bus.
