Chapter 13: back on the tradition

Bryce

"Wake up Bryce!" Zach woke me up too early and I was too tired

"What time is it?" I asked and continued sleeping

"7:30am" he said and continued shaking me awake

"Why so early?" I said

"Because we're going to the usual place today and we have lots to talk about" he said

"Like what?" I knew what he wanted to know

"You know who" he said

"Fine, give me a minute to change then" I said and he was going to ask me about Hailey, I just know it but I looked forward to going to the cascades like old times

"Why are we again going there this early?" I asked once again while we grabbed food and stuff for the day

"Because I prefer going early before everyone wakes up" he said

"Okay then" I said

"Also, we need to talk about things" he said as we left to our journey to the usual place and I don't know if I was ready to talk about how I'm feeling right now. It's not that I don't want to tell him because he's my brother but I'm just too confused to understand what I'm feeling

The journey to the "usual place" was rather quick but we didn't go in the water because we knew it was going to be cold. It gets warmer in the afternoon but it's too cold in the morning. We sat in the ground for a few moments of silence until the conversation began.

"You wanted to talk to me so talk" I said

"What happened yesterday?" He asked and I knew this question was coming

"I already told you" I said but by the way he looked at me, he knew I was lying

"And I didn't buy anything of it, so tell me, what really happened?" He asked once again

"I took her here and we kissed" I said

"What?" He was a little shocked at the moment but I noticed he was in his deep thoughts

"Yeah, we kissed and it has been the best, quick but it meant something" I said a bit quick

"Oh my god! Bryce! You're falling for her" He said "don't deny it! I know you too well" he laughed

"Okay, I'm going to be honest so you're right that I'm falling for her but I'm confused on my feelings for her" I said

"Confused?" He asked

"I'm worried of what if she doesn't feel the same way because I met her 2 days ago and since day one it has caused me to feel different. She's just different from the other girls and I know that she can be 'real' and not like the others. But I'm also worried that after camp is over that we end up forgetting each other" I said

"I can see that you feel different by the way you look at her. Now here's the question, did you even apoligize to her for being a jerk on the first day?" He asked

"No, that never crossed my mind" I said kind of surprised

"Don't be surprised because you were and before confessing your feelings for her, you should at least apoligize. And have you, for once, opened up to her?" He asked and I feel uneasy because I hate those questions

"Maybe once or twice. I'm not sure yet if I should" I said

"Hmm and why is that?" He asked

"Because I want to make sure that I have strong feelings for her" I said
