"What the fuck is that?" Adam asks, snorting under his breath.

"Seriously? You've never been on a forest tour?" I ask, leaning back in my chair and laughing. Adam's cheeks turn bright red and he shifts uncomfortably. Looking over at Melody, her eyes are bright, shining with excitement.

"Oooooh! Those are so fun!" She squeals, clapping her hands and dancing around in a circle. Adam chuckles, staring at her with admiration. Raising my eyebrows up and down at him, he chuckles and looks down at the floor. He told me a while back he had a crush on her and I suspected it all along.

"Except here's the catch." I say, rubbing my hands together. "There's no tour guide."

Melody's face drops, while Adam's lights up as his eyes glance over to Melody. I can practically see the gears turning in his head. He looks like a young boy again, his hair in a muss, clothes sweaty.

"Don't worry, Mel. It'll be fun!" He says encouragingly, making a goofy face at her. She giggles, blushing as she realizes that she's laughing. Because the thing is, she has a thing for him too. I'm basically the awkward third wheel you always hope you'll never be. Yay me!

Waggling my eyebrows at the two of them, I smirk.

"Yup. And don't worry, there'll be plenty of time alone. Just us and the trees," I sigh, pretending to look off in the distance lovingly.

Both of them shoot me tense glares before laughing awkwardly.

"We leave in the morning!" I yell, making them both jump. "Better get your clothes packed and your asses in gear, because we're going on an adventure!"
