Millie's POV

  I am not falling for Finn, I am not falling for Finn, I am NOT falling for Finn. I repeat it in my head a thousand times, like a mantra, trying to convince myself that I can't be in love with the boy I'm not even talking to in the first place.

  But it is definitely not helping at all, since he's all I can think about.

  We have less than two weeks at this camp and I thought it would be better for us to split, cause I didn't want to get hurt. But I've realized that what I did was what really hurt us, and I'm not okay with it.

  The realization that what I've done was the most stupid thing ever keeps hitting me and I am heartbroken. I can't stand the thought of hurting Finn like this. I have to do something about it.

  I'm in the dorm all by myself, laying in bed, like I've been for the last few days. I just woke up, and all the girls are at breakfast. But I refuse showing up there just to come face to face with everyone.

  Once I am fully awake, I just look around me. There are clothes all over Maddie's bed, mostly bathing suits. Great, they'll go to the beach. Without me. I roll my eyes and sigh. The fact that I'm being a bitch to everyone right now is making me mad, I miss my friends. So I need to get things right.

  I get up to go to the bathroom, and jump in surprise when I look into the mirror. I am a mess. And I kind of look like a vampire. My face is pale, but my cheeks are really red, and I cover the dark circles under my eyes with a little bit of concealer.

  Pulling my hair up in a ponytail, I wash my face and brush my teeth. I don't know what to wear, so I grab one of Maddie's gym tops that's on her bed. I don't even know why she brings those to a camp, since she's never at the gym. I change from my sweats to some denim shorts and slip on my flip flops.

  Leaving my phone on my bedside table, there's no use in using it when we have no signal, I encourage myself to get out of the room. And I instantly regret it. The brightness of the sun makes my eyes burn and I cover them with my hands. I really am turning into a vampire.

  But as soon as I am about to give up and go back inside, someone yells my name.

  "Mills? Is that really you or am I hallucinating?" Noah's voice gets closer to me and I keep my hand covering my eyes, so he can't see the eye roll I give him.

  "It's an hologram. And the message I'm supposed to give you is that Millie is turning into a vampire and she won't ever get out of her room into daylight again." I reply and turn around, uncovering my eyes and grabbing the doorknob.

  "Oh I see... so I guess she won't ever want ice cream again, am I right? Okay then, I'll just give it to someone else..." I know he's smiling and I can't help but laugh a little.

  I turn to him with arms crossed and furrowed eyebrows, 'cause the sun is still bothering me. He grins wildly and offers me his half melted chocolate cone.

  "I don't know why is everyone mad and fighting, but I'm not and I want my grumpy friend back. So would you please tell her that vampires suck and if she turns into one she'll never be able to go to the beach again?"

  I give in and smile at the boy, accepting his peace offer.

  "Okay. But only because I can't stand not going to the beach anymore." I answer and he sighs in relief and hugs me, licking the ice cream he just gave me.
