Pretend It's Okay (Bluestone 42 Fanfic)

Chapter 12:

Chapter Twelve:

I watch as House aims his gun at me, and pulls the trigger, my clothes nearly getting soaked as I narrowly dodge the sprayed water. Brilliantly, Nick had bought us water guns to practice aiming with on each other since we supposedly needed to work on our shooting and because it was devastatingly hot here.

I hide behind a rock as Skip and his team (House, Rocket, Mary) go behind the building when Nick's team (Nick, Bird, Mac, Me) meet behind a rock and go to make a plan. "Kar, you've got our best shot in the entire team. We can try to beat them if you stay hidden and shoot them while we corner them. We go for Skip first since he's probably made himself lead in all the plans." Nick plans, a nod coming from each of the other team members.

"Ok, but I think the trickiest one to shoot down will be house so how about I sacrifice myself and I'll get myself cornered, make him think in the last one and that he's winning when you guys come out from the building and shoot him." I plan, all of them nodding in agreement. Nick moves his wrist, signaling for us to move in, but me.

I jet across the field behind another wall close by and kneel down beside it so I could watch the wall I was previously at. When Skip comes around the side of it, Rocket coming around the other side, I shoot Rocket right in the back and then when he falls to the ground playing around, I shoot Skip right in the heart. I'm incredibly glad it was just water although Skip dramatically fell to the floor clutching his heart. I peek over the wall to see Mary and House looking that direction in slight fear.

I lean back down as they turn my way and then peek back up as they have their backs toward me. I shoot Mary in the neck, and she clutches it, falling to the floor. House spins on his heel and I purposely duck too late so he sees me. I jump to my feet and dart from the boulder, running behind the tree and dodging some of his shots with flips and spins.

I then run past him and purposely shoot him in the leg, just to tease him and buy me some "time". I then dart down an alley when I hear a laugh, "Karmin, you are going to get it!" I "freak out" when I meet a dead in and House turns down the alleyway, limping since I shot him earlier.

"Truths?" I sheepishly say, House shaking his head.

"You killed my team so now I'm going to avenge them. Say bye." He smirks smugly, aiming his gun at me then spraying me endlessly, as I squeal at the freezing, yet refreshing water hits my uniform and partial skin. Before he can say something victorious, he's drenched by my team who laugh as they spray him. "Damn it!" He cusses as he realizes what I did.

"Pretty good plan, huh? Honey, if I ever got caught like this, I'd kick the guy in the nuts and run for it or fight for the gun." I wink as I slide past him. "And by the way, you have anger issues mister overkill," I joke as my clothes slosh with each step I take.

When we get to the field where the others had been shot, they all laugh at me. "Nice clothes." Skip laughs out.

"Nice wound. I just sharp shot you. And I can do it again since my team won! Like a boss." I retort and he instantly shuts up. I wink at him when Mary sighs.

"You were seriously like an acrobat when you dodged all of our squirts. You were flipping, sliding, and jumping around like some ninja." Skip marvels, making me wink.

"Don't be so shocked. My little sister is a fucking ninja." I hear my best friend call, making me spin to face her.

"Carla!" I cheer, running to her and squeezing her in a hug.

"You're lucky I love you, or I'd kill you for getting my clothes wet," She jokes, wrapping her arms around my waist tightly.

"Whoops. I forgot House soaked me with his stupid water gun." I sheepishly admit, turning my head to shoot House a playful glare before turning back to Carla. "Well, since you are here, you shall meet my teammates." I smile, pulling from the hug and spinning her to face my team. Her eyes widen as she scans the guys and I shoulder her playfully. "No drooling yet." I tease as she blushes a bright red and rolls her eyes.

"I am not." She scoffs, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Oh yes you are. Anyway, first thing's first," I begin, and Nick steps up to meet her since he is team captain, but to send a blow to his ego, I point to Euan. "This is Euan Armstrong, aka Rocket since he has an explosive personality." I say, Euan sticking his arm out for her to grab, but she hugs him. Carla is big on hugging. "Next, is my team captain with the second biggest ego around this camp, Nick Medhurst." I introduce, pointing to the blonde with blue-ish eyes, who is furrowing his eyebrows at me, before Carla hugs him and he grins widely. When she pulls away, she turns to me.

"Second biggest ego? Who's the first?" She questions, making me taking a step between Skip and House.

"That would be the douche who made me sock him in the stomach the first five minutes after I'd arrived, Gordon House." I shrug, pointing to a frowning House.

"I didn't grab your fist and say 'hey, punch me, will ya?' You-" He goes to argue, but I interrupt him and correct myself.

"Fine, provoked me to punch him." I correct, making him smile with satisfaction. She hugs him and whispers something in his ear which makes him scrunch up his nose with disgust, it was the cutest- oddest thing.

"So, I am guessing you're Skip?" Carla collects in her own memory of me describing them. He nods and she continues her previous actions to welcoming them. "You're Kevin McDowell or Mac," She adds, pointing to the newer version as he'd buffed up a bit up. He hugs her and she grins, mouthing to me 'I like him'. I laugh and everyone looks at me, but I shake my head, while biting my lip to conceal my laughter.

"Can you guess which girl is which?" I ask, and she smirks.

"Please. This is so easy. Lynda Bird," Carla smiles, softly hugging Bird who surprisingly returns the embrace then Carla hugs Mary, saying her name.

"Okay then. I should've had you guess the entire team's name." I joke, Carla shaking her head as she looks at me.

"I think I would've had a problem with Nick and Gordon, then mix up Euan with Kevin." She admits with a blush.

"Oh, don't worry. We mix up Euan and Kevin all the time, I mean they are stuck at the hip." Bird laughs, Carla joining her as the two guys pout childishly.

"So where-"

"SISTER!" I hear Serena yell as she stumbles down the hill in her heels, the dust making her slide. I turn around to face Carla before running behind Skip and hiding.

"Who's that?" Simon asks over his shoulder in a whisper with disgust clear in it.

"Unfortunately, my biological sister." I mutter before ducking behind his back.

"I swore I just saw Kar- Ohhh. Who are these hunks?" I jump out from behind Skip as I hear this, standing in front of Nick who was about to be raped by my whore of a sister. He gags as her hand runs down her chest and I stifle a laugh as I grab her arm and haul her away from the team.

"Okay. First thing's first. Ground rules. NO advancing towards my teammates. Please keep your legs shut while you're here for three weeks. Don't act like a whore, act like a human being. Thank you." I warn her, as she rolls her eyes and scoffs.

I turn to Nick and apologize to him, but he shakes his head and smiles at me. "It's fine. It's not your fault she's like that." He remarks, my head nodding.

"I just wish she wasn't," I say beneath my breath before we all go to the food tent.
