The 'Stupid' Kiss

"It still doesn't make sense to me." I repeat for the third time, pacing around my tent.

"Which part? The second dimension, or the fact I had to try the myth more than you to get taken?" Andrew grumbles, running his hands through his blonde hair.

"Neither of those," I snicker, "I got taken on my first attempt because I'm better than you."

"Watch it, Redhead." He glares at me.

"Oh my god!" I exclaim over-dramatically, "For the hundredth time, my hair isn't red!" I sit next to him on my bed.

"Well it is damn close." He says, eyeing my orange hair.

After I had 'bumped' into Andrew in the forest, I brought him back to camp and snuck him into my tent. Hiding him from Serena won't be too big of an issue, considering she's probably off doing Witch junk. Hiding him from the REST of the tribe is my problem.

If anyone finds out I have an 'outsider' in my tent, they'll ban me from the tribe and most likely slay Andrew.

Crazy?

Not really. Serena had told me how Nathan had a brother here, Derek? Derek liked a girl from another tribe, so Derek and his 'girlfriend' got kicked out of both tribes. Everyone now just acts like Derek never existed. Pretty morbid if you ask me.

The slaying part is something my mind made up, but hell, knowing this place, it's probably true.

Top priority- Keep Andrew hidden.

"How did you know I wasn't kidnapped?" I ask, turning to Andrew.

"Kidnapped? You?" He chuckles, "Not a chance. You'd drive your kidnapper to the brink of insanity with your questions and constant talking."

"Remind me again why I missed you?" I ask mostly myself, causing him to laugh, "You're a jerk." I say, playfully pushing him.

"And you're a pain in the ass," He pauses, "but you're my pain in the ass." He smiles, "I really did miss you though." He says barely above a whisper.

"I missed you too." I say giving him a warm smile. Our eyes meet, and I realize Christian and Andrew both have similar eyes. The only difference is that Andrew's eyes are blue with green specks, and Christians are pure blue.

Just as he's about to say something, we begin hearing footsteps outside and the both of us freeze. I slowly get up from the bed, "Stay. Here." I whisper to him, motioning for him to not move.

I exit my tent, and bump into a random chest, causing me to stumble back a bit.

"Whoa- sorry, I was just coming to talk to you." Christian says, helping me regain my balance.

"It's cool," I reply, "what's up?" I speak to quickly for it to be considered normal.

"We could go inside your tent and talk, it's getting a bit chilly out here." He suggests.

"No!" I quickly block the entry to the tent, "No." I clear my throat, "It's-uh, messy." I lie, "There are clothes everywhere, it's ridiculous." I shake my head.

"You have two outfits." He cocks an eyebrow at me, slightly pushing me to the side.

"And those two outfits cause a mess." I scoff, blocking his way into the tent.

"Let's go inside." He orders, beginning to walk.

"You can't." I say, attempting to pull him back.

"And why not?" He turns around, and cocks an eyebrow at me again. I'm gonna have to make sure to shave that eyebrow off in his sleep.

But for now, I have to keep him out of my tent.
