Love At First Camp

C04: Tell Me About You

"So! Tell me about you." Zack said after a few seconds of silence. I smiled at how comfortable the silence was.

"I'm 17. Only child. My mom's a surgeon. My dad's an attorney. They are both always pretty busy with work. I'm practically trained to be alone." my smile faded.

"Oh no." he said. "Don't hide that beautiful smile." he said calmly while staring into my eyes. He took my face in between his soft, structured hands. We were so close, I could feel his breath on my lips.

"Your parents don't define you." he said while rubbing his thumb on my right cheek.

I stepped back, to let go of his grip. I just met him.

He got his hands off my cheeks. He frowned when he noticed my actions. He quickly ignored it and went back to trying to get to know me.

"Let's not talk about your parents. Tell me about you. Who is Zoe Gonzalez?" he said.

"I guess this is the first time somebody asks me that." I answered. "Well, I love music. Specially when I feel the rhythm running through my blood. I like to read, from time to time. I'm a very academic kind of girl. I like to think my grades will open doors to good opportunities one day. I love to write my feelings, my thoughts. It makes me feel free and accompanied when I'm alone. I guess I'm pretty basic, huh?" I said answering his question.

"You're not basic. You're unique. I like that about you." he said. I could see the honesty in his eyes.

"Thanks. That's sweet." I said, almost blushing.

"I'm just being honest. There's nothing to thank me for." he answered with a wide smile, showing me his perfect, white teeth.

"I think we're here." I said to Zack; I noticed a red flag on the cabin's entrance.

They said 'cabin' and I literally thought it was more rustic or something. You know, wooden cabin with a cinc ceiling? I was wrong. So wrong. This cabin's amazing. It's huge. It has a big bathroom and everything, it's like having my own house. I guess my parents spent their money correctly.

"We never got to talk about you! That's no fair." I said as Zack put my bags next to an empty, King bed.

"Don't worry Zo. I'll tell you everything you want to know about me in the Welcome Bonfire ." he said happily.

" Alright, I'll see you there, and thanks again!"

" No prob. I'll be looking forward to it."

He got close, smirked. Geez! That smirk again, it makes me melt.
He grabbed me by my waist and whispered "I'll look for you as soon as I get there." he planted a soft kiss on my cheek and with that, he left.

I let myself fall onto my bed and sigh.

"What. A. Boy." I say.

"Wow Zo! First day of camp and you got a boy wrapped around your finger and everything, girl!" said a familiar voice while laughing.

I jumped when I realized I was not alone. When I look up, it was nevertheless, one of my best friends, Alexa Hernandez.

"Omg Alexa! How did you get here?!" I screamed. I ran up to hug her.

"Aunt Claire brought me earlier in the morning to surprise you! I'll be staying here with you the whole month!" she said squirming. (Aunt Claire is how Alexa calls Zoe's mom since they've been best friends since little.)

"In the same cabin?!" I asked excited.

"In the same cabin." she said. "Now, Now. You HAVE to tell me all about that hot boy who just left!" she said excited.

I told her everything that had happened with Zack . I talked to her about him. She was so happy although I'm happier because now I have my best friend by my side.
