Stuck in the middle.

Chapter 5

I get back to my cabin and find everyone already there. I sit down on my bunk, still smiling.

"What are you so happy about?" ask Bell.

"I bet she was with Jacob," says Beth.

Then they both giggle.

Julia tells me we are supposed to write home and let our parents know we got here safely and whatever. After I write my letter I lay and think about Jacob. I think about how perfect he is. Think about how much I like him. And that's when I realize I really like him.

Soon enough it's time for dinner. We are having tacos. My favorite. After dinner as I'm walking back to the cabin, someone grabs my shoulder. I turn and see Jacob.

"Hey," I say trying not smile like an idiot .

"Meet me at the field we were at earlier today at 10 tonight," he says.

Then he walks away.

When we get back to the cabin, everyone prepares to go to bed. I don't want to draw attention, so I also start to get ready to go to sleep. The girls are all talking about some dance tomorrow night, but I have other things on my mind. I lay in bed waiting for everyone to fall asleep. Finally at 9:47 they all fall asleep. I quickly put on a long sleeve and some jeans and run to the field. He is sitting on the grass when I get there. I go over and sit next to him.

"Hey," I say.

"Hey, isn't it beautiful?" he asks.

"What the stars?" I ask.

"Ya," he replies.

"So are you going to the dance tomorrow?" he ask.

"Um ya, I guess," I say.

"Would you maybe want to go with me?" he asks.

"Sure," I say.

Luckily it's dark and he can't see me blushing. We lay watching the stars and talking for about 30 minutes. After a while, he sits up.

"Um. I was wondering. Do you have a boyfriend?" he asks.

"No. I don't. Do you have a girlfriend?" I ask.

"Nope. We better get going. It's getting late," he says.

"Okay, I will see you tomorrow I guess," I say.

"Goodnight," he says.

Then he kisses me on the cheek and walks away. I head back to the cabin and go to sleep.
