As everyone finished up with their breakfast, they all dispersed into their own separate paths. I went back to the cabin.

I started to go through my luggage, which I had yet to unpack. As I started placing my clothes in the drawer, I ran into something I forgot about. It was a recorder. And there was a pack of batteries and some memory cards. It was my diary.

As I finished unpacking, I decided to go for a walk, bring my "diary" along with me. Once I was out of earshot, I started the recording and spoke. "Ok. So, hey! Sorry I wasn't on yesterday. It. Was. Weird! When I arrived, there were some teens and one crazy host. Then, we had to get into our swim suits and DIVE off of a CLIFF into a circle of either SHARKS or safety. It was 50/50. Still pissed about the swim suit incident. Not funny (bf/n). Not funny. But, as I was saying, we ended up winning the hot tub challenge, but I didn't stay long. I also ran into Chris on the way. The cold-hearted ego-centric douche bag actually cared. Mainly because he would get in trouble if I went back alone in my condition, but eh. And then, today, I corrected chef and his slop. God! I thought I was going to cry," I said with a chuckle. Then, I heard rustling in the distance.

"But that's all for recording #1. I'll get back as soon as I can." With that, I stopped the recording and hid the recorder in my pocket, trying to act as casual as possible. When I turned around, I saw Chris walking towards me, looking as if he didn't have a care in the world. Good. He didn't hear anything. Not that there was anything to hide, but eh.

To keep our interaction from being awkward, I turned to him and waited for him to catch up.

"Hey (y/n)," he said, in clear boredom. I ignored his tone. "Hey Chris," I said, waving, but keeping a straight face. He looked down to the side of him, as if he were collecting his words. He lightly bit his lip. Damn that's sexy. I'm not even going to deny it because, I mean, it was. But, like, just the lip bite. Nothing else.

I must have been lost in thought because Chris placed his hand in my shoulder and I never noticed until he started shaking me. "(Y/n)? What's wrong?" He said. I stared at him blankly. "Oh. Uh, sorry," I rubbed the back of my neck. Fuck! I looked down. "Sorry. I was in my own world. I-is there something you need?" I said, looking back up, 100% sure my face was 1 thousand shades of red, which I see to do a lot. He looked at me and smirked at how uncomfortableness, then his smirk dropped and his expression became soft, yet serious. "I-I just wanted to say that your dish this morning was good and I'm sorry for being rude earlier. It's just, I didn't exactly want to be sued for having a minor behind the kitchen, but when I looked it up in the guide lines, there was nothing against it. Anyways, I'm just ranting. Just, Thank you," he said, suddenly rubbing the back of his neck at looking downwards. Might I add blushing. I couldn't help it. I had to. I bust out laughing.

Chris brought his head up, confused. But then his confusion suddenly turned to shock. I finally finished laughing, confused myself. I looked at him, me being the confused one now. "Wh-what's wrong?" I asked, concerned I had done something wrong. He shook his head. "No. Nothing's wrong. It's just....you laughed. And might I had a cute smile to compliment it. Not in a creepy way! Just, it caught me off guard." He said, waving his hands. I gave him and Pat on the shoulder and a small chuckle. "Don't worry. I won't let it effect my ego. I'm gonna go back to the cabin, so don't miss my smile too much, ok?" I asked, giving him a playful wink at the end, earning a small chuckle from his lips. "Yeah," is all he said before we went our separate ways.

As I was walking, I pulled out my recorder. I pulled up my previous recording, opening it so I could add more to it.

"Hey! It (y/n). I think I have some bad news. Hmmmmm. I think.... I......like Chris.... Oh God!" I ended the recording, smiling like a huge idiot all the way back to my cabin.
