One Boy, One Girl

Chapter 30 (Part 1)

*Flashback to summer of 8th grade*

I was in my room packing for summer camp it was a sports camp. I was so looking forward to going to this camp it was one that I had been to before. I loved staying in the cabins and going to the dock late at night and watching the stars. I hear my window open and in comes Nicole.

Me: "Are you guys ever going to use the front door?"

Nicole: "No"

Me: "You ready for this camp?"

Nicole: "Yes I am. What about you?"

Me: "Yes of course"

Nicole: "I can tell by how high your voice got"

Me: "What's your point?"

Nicole: "The only reason you're voice gets that high is because of Grayson and don't deny it"

Me: "He's not even interested. He's somehow interested in Bailey."

Nicole: "Please don't say her name"

Me: "What I hate is that she's going to this camp"

Nicole: "Are you kidding me"

Me: "No and the only reason I know is because she said it at practice the other day"

Nicole: "What are you going to do?"

Me: "I have that covered don't you worry. You want to help me?"

Nicole: "Yes! I'll see you in the morning."

I finish up packing my bag to leave in the morning. I pack my favorite CD to listen to along with my volleyball and a bracelet that Grayson gave to me. I put on my swimsuit and sunglasses and head out to the pool. I take a raft and lay on it to lay out. As I'm laying on the raft I feel someone knock it out from underneath me. I look over and Grayson starts laughing at me. Other than Nicole he's my best friend I tell him everything.

Me: "What was that for?"

Grayson: "I'd thought I scare you"

Me: "Grayson James you don't scare me. What do you want that you couldn't wait until later for?"

Grayson: "You ready for this camp?"

Me: "Yes sort of"

Grayson: "This doesn't sound good. Is it about Bailey?"

Me: "Whenever has that not been the case of course it is"

Grayson: "You two need to knock it off. I'm not kidding around."

Me: "And neither am I"

Grayson:"You shouldn't be worried I don't even like her. She knows that you're the only girl I like."

Me: "I think sometimes she forgets that"

Grayson: "Come here"

We get out of the pool and go lay on the hammock my parents have. Neither one of us grabbed a towel to dry off. I lay my head on his chest and he wraps his around me makes me feel safe. Neither one of us says a word until he takes out my hair tie.

Grayson: "Do you ever think about it?"

Me: "Ever think about what?"

Grayson: "What are life would be like together"

Me: "We always did say it was us against the world"

Grayson: "And that nothing would get in the way of us"

Me: "You have a point"

Grayson: "Don't worry your pretty little head over it"

Me: "Okay save me a seat tomorrow on the bus"
