Summer Bites(BOOK 3-Bites series)

Chapter 9

The next day I woke up to the sound of a church bell. Lexi's phone was ringing. The most ungodly child having a church bell being her ring tone was uncanny. I rubbed my eyes and headed for the sound. The screen on Lexi's phone read, new message from Chris. I slid the unlock button and a pass code popped up. I thought for a mere second and punched in Lexi. The phone unlocked and I rolled my eyes at how superficial she was.

I accessed her messages and opened the one from Chris. It read:

C-Should we start the jealousy play today???

Jealousy plan? I was confused, so I typed back.

L-What jealousy plan?

C-Remember, the one we talked about during lunch? You and Andrew, Melody and I. You really wanted to get back at that girl...

I hit my head against the palm of my hand, Chris was getting suspicious, this was not good.

L-Um...I did remember it. I just wanted to make sure that you were paying attention.

C-Okay then...

Good job Melody, I rolled my eyes and offered a normal teenage girl salutation to Chris, who took the bait this time. I deleted my sting of texts and placed Lexi's phone back down on her bedside. Then I snuck back into my bunk bed. I checked the placed breaths of everyone in the room. Combining that with the fact that Lexi was still snoring, I concluded that they were all asleep. I was safe, for now.

People slowly started waking up two hours earlier, no I never did fall asleep the first to rise was Andi. Then she climbed her bunk and woke Oreo up. They both exchanged good mornings and went off to take their showers. When they came back Eliza and Jessica were just starting to wake. They all spoke for a while and then went their separate ways. Next Lexi woke up. She checked her phone, which she wasn't supposed to have, and seemed happy with her out come. I let a sigh of relief out and closed my eyes. I slept for thirty minutes until West jumped up and down on the bed an inch away from my skull. So she was allowed to wake me up but vice versa was unacceptable?

I groaned and rolled out of the bed. "What is your problem?" I exclaimed.

"Oh nothing." She smiled innocently and slid off the side of my bed.

"Why in the world would you jump on my bed?" I frowned, rubbing my eyes.

"To warn you that you only have five more minutes until the canoe race?" West rummaged through her drawer and offered a set of clothes to me.

"Oh god, why didn't you jump on my bed earlier?" I laughed and grabbed the clothes that West handed me. I left to go take a quick shower, only then did I notice what she had picked out for me. "I am NOT going canoeing in this!" I proclaimed to West.

"Why not?" she gestured to the outfit that I was wearing. West had handed me a one shoulder bikini top that covered just enough of me to remain legal.

"Can you not see me? How do I even sit down in this skirt?' I demanded, pointing to the short stretchy fabric that clung to my legs.

"You'll learn soon, the canoe race starts in a minute." She tapped her black, rhinestone studded watch.

"Ugh! Couldn't you have dressed me in something more decent?" I groaned as she pulled me out into the open campsite. I ran with her down to the docks where everyone was waiting.

"There you are." Lexi growled.

"Yup here I am." I gasped, too out of breath to make a comeback.

"What are you wearing?" Chris asked, slightly amused, "It looks like your hot friend dressed you."

"She did." I acknowledged, "Why are you here? I though the guys were doing something else."
