Billy and Jonathan started to make the fire while Nancy and the other huddled around each other. Owen was in the woods doing god knows what but I was more focused on trying to get my lighter to work.

"You know for someone who smokes as much as you, you would think you would have a working lighter" Ally said while twirling the end of her pony tail.

Oh. Boy. I was going to enjoy this one wasn't I?

"Yeah who would have thought wind would make things difficult" I muttered. When it did finally spark it- she snatched it out of my hands. I rolled my eyes and stepped away from the group. I wanted to watch the water but my eyes were locked onto Billy.

I don't know if he knew I was watching him but I didn't care. I liked watching him when he was focused on something.

"Cold?" I turned to see Owen giving me his strange star.

I smiled and turned to the water. "I will be good when the fire is up."

"That means you are cold now thought" He smiled as he put kindling down. "Here take this" He said as he shrugged his jacket off. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Billy do a double take. Fuck. Fuck.

"No you are working im high" I smiled. "You don't need-"

"Take the jacket Curls" I heard Billy say. "I don't need to hear you bitch."

Before I had time to even process what he was saying Ally opened her fucking mouth. "Oh Billy can I have your jacket too?" She shoved the joint in Nancys hands and walked up to him. "I am cold."

He looked at me and gave an apologetic smile before taking it off. "I want it back as soon as the fire starts."

She nodded and I watched her slip into his jacket like it was hers. I wanted to scream- but instead I felt a warm cloth drape my shoulders. I looked up to see Owen looking down at me and that look was back. I hated that look- it made my skin crawl like I was under a microscope.

"Thanks" I breathed. "Right when the fire is up I will give this back."

"Take your time with it. It looks good on you" he said as he went back to his kindling. I followed him to the firepit to where Billy was. He was trying his hardest not to look to interested but I could tel he was hyper aware.

"So Genie" Owen said. "You want next hit."

I turned and smiled at owen. He suddenly became much more appealing. "sure Owen" I said with a smile. I took the joint and took a puff. I looked back at Billy, he was watching me. the way his eyes watched me made me feel warm and buzzed with energy. I wanted more. "Hey can you see if jonathan has beer in his car?"

"Oh I would kill for a drink" Ally said. "I will come."

I looked at owen and smiled. "Please"

He smiled. "Yeah give me a second."

I smiled as they walked away then I turned towards Billy. I took a few innocent steps before I pulled in another breath. When I got close enough I leaned on his shoulder causing his body to stiffen. "You want a hit." I said as I put the joint an inch from his mouth. Making sure to rub against him just enough to get things starting.

He looked over my shoulder and leaned forward to take a pull from the joint. As he did he wrapped an arm around my waist. "Trying to start something Curls" He whispered as leaned forward.

His breath traced my lips, making my mouth tingle.

"Maybe." I said with a smile. "To bad you have a girl" I teased as I stepped aside. "Jonathan you want a hit."
