Third Person P.O.V.
"I don't understand how Maddie deals with Ariana," Nicki whispered to Simon. "She loves her. They're really close," Simon answered. "But, Maddie hates being touched, and Ari is fucking clingy," Nicki scoffed. "No, she's not," Maddie snapped, jumping into the conversation. "She kind of is. She's always hugging you. Any time you are sleeping, she is cuddled up to you. She always seems to be super close to you in some way," Pete said. "I don't have a problem with that," Maddie said, turning away. She was now face to face with Ari. She looked pissed. "Oh, now she's pissed. Get ready to be yelled at and ignored for the rest of the time here," Nicki grumbled. "I don't understand your problem with me. I have never done anything to you. You have no reason to hate me," Ari snarled, staring at Pete and Nicki. "Oh, yes I do. You and I dated in second grade. You broke up with me on the last day of school. I moved away after that," Pete snapped. Maddie looked at Ari shocked. "You dated that?" Maddie asked, trying not to laugh. "Yep. Biggest mistake of my life," Ari sighed. "Dating you was the biggest mistake of my life. You are so fucking annoying and I never loved you. You have always been too emotional and all your bullies started making fun of me," Pete said. "OK, that's enough. Dude, you're annoying and too emotional," Simon snapped. Maddie had her arm around Ari and Ari was literally trying to keep Maddie from ripping Pete's head off. "What's the problem?" Billie asked, walking over. "Pete is an actual asshole," Maddie growled.
That day, everyone split up into groups to make mud pies. "I have to get dirty," Justin whined. "Whoever makes the best looking one wins something," Taylor said. "No they don't," Colleen laughed. "We're going to do boys verses girls," Kim said. "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Bram yelled.
"Guys. The boys are literally covered in mud," Cardi laughed, as the boys were having a mud fight. "Ari, you're quiet. Did you finally realize that you are fucking annoying?" Nicki asked. "I'm busy Onika," Ari said. "You know who's annoying. You, Nicki. You always talk shit. You're always talking about the same things. Your ass, how people suck, how you're hot. We're all sick of it," Lauren snarled. "And you always correct grammar, always talk about how much you hate Camila, then you stick up for her," Nicki shot back. "OK, that's not all she does. Also, Ashley, shut up. I know what you're gonna say," Camila snapped. Halsey sighed and looked away. "Gabbie, what kind of berries are those. They are really pretty," Billie said. "I don't know. I think they're poisonous though," Gabbie said. "Oh, I have an idea. I'm gonna go get some dandelions and they can be the frame of the pie," Maddie said. Ari looked over at her and sighed. "Madds, can I come with you?" she asked, softly. Maddie nodded, and they walked away.
"PETE! STOP!" Simon yelled, as Pete threw more mud at him. Khaled was doing a mud facial. "It feels weird. Why do girls like this stuff?" he groaned. Offset was trying to put the mud into the given pan, and Bram and Simon went off to find decoration.
Maddie P.O.V.
"Maddie. I'm sorry about everything," Ari sighed. We finally stopped next to the dandelions. "Don't worry about anything. It's OK," I said. "Everyone is just going to pick on you now because of me," she mumbled, looking down. I pulled her into a hug and quietly said, "I don't care. I'm happier just being with you. No matter what gets thrown at us, I still love you." She nodded, and we got the stuff.
Third Person P.O.V.
"Wow guys. These look great. Um, dudes, what is that thing sticking out in the middle?" Colleen asked. "It's a squirrel bone," Pete said proudly. "Oh, creative," Colleen said, uncomfortably. "Are those berries edible?" Kim asked, looking at the girls mud pie thingy. "I don't know," Gabbie said. Then, everyone looked at Khaled, who was cutting a slice from the guys pie. He began to eat it. Then, he remembered it wasn't actually pie, and spit it out. "DUDE! YOU'RE AN IDIOT!" Shawn yelled. "Can I eat one of the berries," Justin asked. "YES! PLEASE!" Maddie yelled dramatically. Justin wasn't allowed to though, and that was sad.
