"Ten.. nine.. eight.." Gabriel starts the countdown as soon as he finishes his dinner.
"I haven't even finished yet." I whine.
"Five.. four.. three.." He continues. Everyone gets up from their places.
Fuck it. I throw my plate in the bin and hop up. The countdown stops and everyone launches towards me. I run towards nowhere. Jason is the first one to get hold of me. Quarterback bastard. He grabs my arm and starts dragging me to the circle.
Rachel catches up on us. She runs her hands up and down Jason's arm sensually. Jason's grip on me loosens and I start running again. Boys! Austin comes in front of me suddenly making me stop. He hoists me up his shoulder in a second and starts taking me to the circle.
"Austin!" Paige calls. He turns towards her, I turn my neck to see what's happening. Paige slowly and sensually pulls down the strap of her tank top. Austin instantly drops me and runs to Paige. God, they really don't have any brains.
"Where will you go now?" Gabriel says from behind me. I turn. He takes a step towards me and I take a step backward. This goes on until my back something, more profusely someone. Chris! I hide behind him, using him as a shield.
"My knight in shining armour will save me from you satan's friend!" I say dramatically. Gabe chuckles while Chris rolls his eyes at me. He hasn't talked to me properly since his confession. He has been really dry. Is he thinking that his confession was a mistake? Is he having second thoughts? I need to know. I then realise that Chris and I are in the middle of the circle. I narrow my eyes at Gabe. He shrugs.
"I think we should go back to our tents guys." Rachel says and nudges Gabriel.
"Oh, yes, sure." He says. And they all go back to their tents, leaving me and Chris alone.
"So, what's your wish?" I ask Chris.
"Haven't decided yet." He dryly replies.
This ignites something inside of me. "What's up the dry behaviour? Did you suddenly realise that you shouldn't have said that you love me? Or are you having having second thoughts about us?" I kind of yell.
He looks shocked. "No Kath. It isn't like that. I do love you. I just thought that I had frightened you by confessing." He says, looking down. I cup his face, making him look in my eyes.
"How could you think that? I am utterly happy." I assure him.
He smiles. "So..?" He asks.
"So?"
"Aren't you gonna say something?"
I know where he is going with that. "That I love you? Intelligent people can understand by actions." With this, I walk to our tent.
A hand on my waist stops me from entering the tent and suddenly I am in the air. I giggle knowing who is hoisting me up. "Put me down." I say.
