Chapter Eight: Mitchell's Point Of View

I walked back into my cabin soaking wet. As I serched through my duffel bag for my clothes to sleep in Taylor woke up. Great.

"Hello fellow camper friend. Why are you up at such a late hour? You know they called lights out an hour and 12 minutes ago right?" Taylor said. Will this kid ever shut up?

"Yes I know now go back to sleep kid. Leave me alone," I told him. I didn't want to hear what he had to say. I just wanted to think about Nicolett.

"Well that was quite rude so I shall go back to sleep. Maybe we can try and be friends when you're in a better mood or when the sun rises up passed the hemispher. I can't remember which hemispher but one of the the sun will rise and we will be friends," he told me. I gave him an ugly look then rolled my eyes. Does this kid even know what he's talking about?

"Shut up" I said. I put on my clothes to sleep in and went under the covers.

All I could think about was Nicolett. She's perfect in every way. I can't believe I met her. Is this what they call fate? I think it is. I fell asleep thinking about Nicolett and her perfectness.

I woke up the next morning. Of course I was woken up by Taylor talking. I shot up out of the bed and glared at him.

"What's wrong bro?" Chase said.

"This stupid kid who never shuts up it's getting on my last nerves!" I said back. i said it pretty loud though.

"I thought we were going to be friends once the sun rose from the hemisphere?" Taylor asking me in a quiet scared voice.

"No! I never said that! Why? Because that doesn't make any since what so ever!" I said back. Taylor just looked at me. I heard someone mumble "Amen" I looked over. It was Justin. I kind of like this kid. I nodded at Justin once and went to go change my clothes. I put on some Khaki shorts and a black areopostale shirt. I looked over and Taylor was wearing a shirt that said "YOLO" on it.

"What are you wearing?" I asked him.

"Well, it's YOLO you know it's the motto Mitchell. It means you only live once.I don't know why he says that though because it hasn't been scientificly proven that you only live once yet," he said to me. Me Justin and Chase all looked at him.

"What?" He asked looking at us. I rolled my eyes put on my red converse and left to go to the mess hall for breakfast. They were serving their amazing pancakes. You know for a summer camp out in the woods they have some pretty bad ass food here. I walked in and got pancakes and orange and some strawberry milk. I went to go find Chase and sit down. I looked up and saw Nicolett with her cabin mates. I waved at her. She smiled this huge glittery white smile at me and waved. I heard her cabin mates giggling. I wonder why? I shurgged it off and went to go sit down at my tabel with Chase and Justin. I made sure there was no room for Taylor.

"Did that girl just wave to you?"Chase asked me.

"Yeah. Why?" I asked in return. His eyes got big.

"That's that snobby hot girl that I told you about that I ran into and helped her with her stuff! She's the one that said she didn't even want to be here!" He told me.

"That's Nicolett,"  I said. How was she even snobby? She's the sweetest thing in the world.

"How do yo uknow her?" he asked me.

"I just met her. I met her yesterday." 

"Oh she;s such a snob right? She seems like a girl no one would like! Just look at her!" Chase said throwing his arms up in the air. I looked over at the giggling girls. Nicolett was looking at me she smiled at me. I smiled back...of course.

"DUDE!" Chase yelled at me. I jumped.

"huh what?" I said.

"Stop starring at her," Justin said.

"Well sorry. It's not my fault," I snapped back at him. He rolled his eyes.

"Whatever Mitchell, just don't get caught up in this girl. Whoknow what kind of mind tricks she will play on you," Chase told me.

"What makes you think she is going to play mind tricks on me?"  I asked him. I did ari quotes as I said mind tricks.

"I mean a girl like that, she's pretty and she is obviously good at making friends and what if she makes friends with someone besides you and then you end up all sad and lonely because you though she was oh so perfect and pretty and adorable," Chase said. I was starting to get mad. Maybe not mad, more like furious.

"Well, Chase you know you don't know everything about everyone right? She's very shy from what i've seen of her and she doesn't seem like a girl who would go and play someone she just met. Chase, or should I call you Mr. Know-it-all, you aren't perfect and you don't know anything about her. You think she is a stuck up snob when actually she is different than everyoe else," I said back to him. When I was done talking I realized everyone had stopped eating and they were looking at me. Some people started to applaud. I didn't like it.

"Where the hell did that come from?" Chase asked me.

"Look I'm sorry okay you....you know how i am...i'll talk to you later when I cool down," I replied. He nodded. He knows how I am and I really hope he forgives me. My Summer will be hell if he doesn't for give me. I looked around. I started to walk quickly away. I felt a small hand on myshoulder.

"Mitchell?" said the cute voice. I turned around and it was Nicolett standing behind me.
