You're a Player, You're a Cheat

Chapter 7- Who's the cheater now??

3rd August, 2019                                       10:30am           
Finally! Summer camp is here! The one thing I look forward to all year, every year. I can't wait. Camping with scouts is just the best! It's amazing! There is so much stuff to do there! There are so many activities to do and you can go rifle shooting, archery, play football, sing songs around a campfire!! Toasting marshmallows, make spaghetti and marshmallow towers and that's not even a fraction of the fun things you can do! You can go hand gliding, rock climbing, caving, and you get it... there are a lot of things to do and they are all very fun! The people here are sooooo kind too! Well... most of them are... to every two good people, you have your bad person.
First day of camp. Got to the site and put up our tent. I'm sharing a tent with Brontë and Cooper which is great Because it means I get to spend lots of time with both my best friend and my amazing boyfriend. However the only thing is is that Brontë has got no belief when I say that I won't see anyone I fancy whilst being at camp because apparently I do it every year but I would do that when Cooper is  here. I'm not that stupid. I'm not going to be doing anything here when Cooper is here as well like am I? Seriously how stupid does she think I am? Well anyway. I'll speak to you later becuase I'm going to go meet some people. See you in a bit!

So it's night time now and I just got back from the disco! Cooper was dancing with me all the time at the disco to keep an eye on me thinking back to what Brontë said but I think the other boys knew that was happening too becuase every time Cooper went away to go to the toilet or get something from the camp site, this one boy, Daniel kept coming over to me and talking to me. Daniel is a beautiful, dark brown hair, brown eyes god. He's so dreamy and I got butterflies every time he came near me. It made me realise that I felt like I was starting to develop a crush on him and Daniel was quite obviously flirting with me all the time. Inviting me to play football and then getting as close as he can to me. Man every second I spent with him just felt like heaven. Like it did when I was with Cooper. But now.. for the worst part. Brontë and Cooper went back to camp and there was only a few from out group and 2 other groups here. It was 1am and I was so tired but most of the time I spent there I was with Daniel. Surprised? Probably not. I think I'm madly in love with him.. which I proved when I went into the tent to go sit down and he leaned in for a kiss and I didn't stop him. It just felt wayyy too good. He was making me feel so special and I heard such a warm feeling in my heart. I loved it. I couldn't stop and it just lasted so long and then eventually it ended up as being the best night of my life...  I'll let you decide what you think happened. I don't need to explain this to you but he made me feel so special. But then after I realised what I had done. I'd not even done anything with Cooper yet and the first night I meet someone in straight with them without hesitation. What is wrong with me? But why didn't I feel so bad about it? I felt happy!
That night I went back with Daniel and I stayed in his tent and it was a night of kissing and cuddling. I can't believe I'd actually done that. It turned 4am and I hadn't slept at all but I decided to go back to my tent with Brontë and Cooper. They'd we worried sick about me. So I went back and I heard kissing from inside the tent. I walked in to see Cooper and Brontë sharing a sleeping bag kissing and was half naked. I was so confused but they hadn't seen me so this was my chance to escape. I zipped the tent shut and burst into tears. I heard cooper and Brontë stop and there was silence. I walked to the toilets to find Daniel stood waiting for me. "Daniel. I shouldn't have done that"
"Why? Do you not like me?"
"Yeah, I do. A lot. And that's the thing. I can't like you. I can't have done that. I have a boyfriend for god sake!"
Cooper stepped out the tent embarrassed.
"Is this true Emma. Is this where you was all this time. You were with this idiot?" He shouted in disgust flicking back and forth from both me and Daniel. "Not like I'm the only one. Don't think you were wasting your time. You can't really say your that innocent right now can you cooper?! Who the hell would be so selfish to crack on with my best friend in front of your girlfriend!"
Brontë came out looking confused.
"Emma!" She said looking guilty and ashamed.
"I'm not staying here any longer. I'm off back to Daniel's tent. I'll see you at breakfast!" We begin walking towards Daniel's tent when Cooper grabs my arm and tries to kiss me. "Too late. You've proved that's obviously just an act. Get off of me" I say struggling away. We begin walking away once again and Cooper grabs Daniel's hand. "You better watch it lad. You've messed with the wrong person" Cooper let's go and pushes him onto the floor. "Why are you really that selfish? You clearly don't like! Just leave me alone. And don't you dare hurt Daniel. He's done nothing. To you! Nothing!" I help Daniel up, giving him a hug. "I'm really sorry Danny. I didn't think any of this was going to happen. This is all my fault."
"How is it? We like each other. We can't help what we feel. I guess now all you can do is pick between me and Cooper" he says grinning at me. I begin to cry as we walk back to the tent. I have to pick between my boyfriend who I have loved for years or the person I just met but get along with so well! who I can be happy with and I'd be able to get to know lore at camp! Is it bad that I'm leaning more towards someone I've known for 2 minutes rather than the guy I've known for years??
It soon became morning and I was still thinking. I had to say good bye to Daniel today. We had arranged to meet after breakfast, when we start activities. A day with Daniel would be the great experience to see if we really do have a connection. And it turns out we really did. The activities were amazing. But breakfast wasn't. I sat next to Cooper and Brontë and it  just felt so awkward. Seeing them holding hands and smiling at each other. It was making my heart shatter. I can't believe this had happened.
I left breakfast early. I couldn't bare seeing them together so happy. Why was Brontë such a player? For her best friends partner. It's not the first time like is it really? Anyway. My day with Daniel was amazing. It was really funny too becuase he was getting really annoyed at me becuase I was better at him in everything. Archery, catapulting, rifle shooting, made hammer beads, flew drones! That's was cool! What else did we do? Oh yeah we also went in a Disney fun house and got lost several times but it was great! It was really good fun. I didn't actually see Brontë and Cooper at all that day so it kind of took my mind off of it all. Me and Daniel had made us official and I messaged Cooper telling him we were officially over. I guess that's what happens in summer? I don't know know but this is really the end of the camp. There's not a lot to tell you really now. Well apart from one thing. So me and Daniel went into his scout group tent and we were alone so we had a little kiss and hug but then his mum walked it and it was suddenly awkward but we still carried on. His mum was going to find out eventually so why not now. Daniel has written down his phone number and social media for me Becuase we were leaving later that day and I felt I was never going to see him again which made me so sad but I guess now that I'm leaving school I can go see him. However he wasn't leaving school for another year which was quite disappointing but I have weekends I guess.
Saying goodbye to Daniel was awful. We stood waiting for our parents to pick us up and it was so hard to let him go. My grandparents arrived and I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and left. Trying not to cry I grab my stuff and put it in the car. We waved at me as I got in the car, I smiled beck at him and I saw tears drop down his face. I was really going to miss him.
