********************************************************************
I wake up the next morning to the sound of Sabrina opening the bathroom door. I turn my head and open my eyes to see her. "Hey" she says as she sits down on her bed. I swallow and lift myself up. "Good morning" I say with a yawn. "Miss Lincoln said everyone's supposed to meet downstairs in half an hour" she says as she towel dries her hair. "Okay" I say getting up and walking to the dresser. I pick out my clothes and walk to the bathroom. I brush my teeth and take a shower. I change in the bathroom and put my dirty clothes in the hamper. I wear light blue jeans with black boots and a purple sweater. I put in my contacts and walk out of the bathroom.
Sabrina and I walk down outside where everyone is waiting. She walks over to her friend Olivia and I walk over to Cami, Dylan, and Cole. "How'd you sleep last night" Dylan asks holding my back as I come to them. I nod my head "Good", I look over at Cami "How's your new best friend?" She lets out a small laugh "Oh shut up, and by the way Olivia let me use her perfume." I smile "wow, she's a keeper." Miss Lincoln claps her hands together and everyone turns to her. "Okay so today on the agenda we are scheduled to go zip lining and snow tubing" she says and we all cheer. She waves her hand to quiet us down, "Choose a partner because you must go in pairs, follow me." Olivia comes up to Cami "Partners?" she asks. Cami nods and looks over to me. "See you guys out there" she says as she walks forward with Olivia. Tom comes up behind me and hugs me. He kisses my cheek, "Hi." I smile back at him. "And that's our queue" Cole says hitting Dylan's chest lightly. "See you out there Lizzie" Dylan says as he and Cole go off and follow with the crowd. I smile at him and wave as they walk away. I turn to Tom, he looks upset.
"Are you okay?" I say as we start to walk. "Dylan," he says "Do you like him?" I let out a chuckle "Why would you even say that, I mean you're my boyfriend" I say. "I saw you guys last night together, he had his arm around you" he admits. "Wait were you the one who ran when we came in?" I say. He nods and I laugh "Tom you have nothing to worry about" I reassure him. Everyone stops and Tom stands in front of me, "Promise?" I smile and kiss him. Pulling away I say "Promise." I laugh "Were you jealous?" I say. "Maybe a little" he says and we both chuckle.
After we go zip-lining and snow tubing I walk back into the lodge to charge my phone. Luke chases after me, "Hey Elizabeth." I let out a sigh and turn to him "Yes Luke." He puts his hands in his pockets "I mean don't look that excited to see me." I roll my eyes and walk forward. "Where are you even going" he follows along. "To plug in my phone in my room, care to join?" I say sarcastically. He nods with a smirk. "I was joking Luke" I say. He shrugs "I'm not." I get to my door and open it. He steps inside with me. "Nice room" he says. I plug in my phone and look over to him, "Our rooms probably look the exact same." He sits on my bed "That might be true but my room doesn't have you in it." I tilt my head "Wow Luke didn't know you were such a poet with your words." He winks "I try" he says with a chuckle. "Come on let's go" I say leaving the room. He follows with me.
We walk to the dinning hall where everyone is sitting to eat. "Later Elizabeth" he says walking to where Tom is sitting. I walk over to Cami, Cole, and Dylan. I sit next to Dylan and he pushes his plate with a sandwich in my direction, "Want it, it's ham and Swiss." I nod and take the sandwich, biting into it. "So what are you guys going to do today?" Cami asks. "Cole and I are going back to the slops" Dylan says looking at Cole. "Can I come" Cami pouts at Cole. He kisses her and nods. She turns back to me "Lizzie what are gonna do?" I finish chewing, "I'll probably go to the hot tub for a little bit before going back to my room to read." Cami leans her head on Cole's shoulder. "Lizzie it's our second day here and you're already thinking about books" Cami says with a laugh.
After brunch I head back to my room and change into a light purple two piece swimsuit. I cover myself in a robe and walk to out to the hot tub. I look through the glass screen door to see Luke in the hot tub.
I open the door, "Funny seeing you hear Elizabeth." I walk out and slide the door closed behind me. I turn back to him "what are you doing here?" He lets out a small laugh "What I can't enjoy the view in the comfort of warm water?" I look at him skeptical, "Fine Tom said you told him you were going to the hot tub today." I cross my arms, "Come on, you can get in" he says. I sigh and remove my robe and place it on the ground next to me. I slowly walk in the hot tub and sit across from Luke. I play with the water for a little. "Nice swimsuit Elizabeth" Luke says with a grin. I splash him with water and his mouth goes wide. Wiping his face he says "Wrong move Elizabeth." He starts splashing me and I hold up my hands in defeat, "Okay okay, I'm sorry" I say with a giggle. He stops and comes closer to me. He gives me a mischievous smile and my eyes go wide, "Luke don't you dare." He lifts me up and pulls me over his shoulder. He laughs as he spins me twice and I lightly scream. He sets me back down and I punch his shoulder. "You're annoying Luke" I say running my fingers through my hair. He smiles at me "Thanks for the compliment Elizabeth."
He looks around to see if anyone's watching and goes over to me and kisses me. I pull away and turn my face to the side. He backs away and sighs "So you really like Tom huh." I nod and give him a side smile "Luke your a good guy" I pause and let out a small chuckle "deep down." He laughs, "You're going to make a lucky girl very happy, but just not me" I finish. He does a single head nod and stretches out his arms, "Friends Elizabeth." I chuckle and go over to hug him, "Call me lizzie." He lets out a small laugh and we hug "Okay Lizzie" he says. We let go and I instantly splash him. He shakes his hair and we both laugh. We stay there for a while.
Luke walks me back to my room. "Later Elizabeth" he says as he backs away. I playfully roll my eyes and open the door. I walk in to see Cami, Cole, and Dylan. "Hi.." I say entering the room. "Cami got bored of skiing and said we should come here" Dylan says. I laugh "I guess I'm not reading tonight, am I?" Cami shakes her head "Nope." I take a short shower and get changed in the bathroom. I take out my contacts and wear my glasses. When I walk out, I see Dylan is sprawled out on the floor on top of a blanket, searching through movies on the tv. Cami and Cole are cuddled up on my bed. I lay next to Dylan. "So what do you guys want to watch?" Dylan asks. "Fight Club" Cole suggest. "I want to watch Grease" Cami says. "We already watched it last night Cami" Cole says back. "But I fell asleep" she says. I lift myself with my elbows holding me up and turn to her "Partnership, huh" I say with a raised eyebrow. Cami huffs, "Okay fine we don't have to watch Grease I guess, but can we pick something a little better than Fight Club Cole." Cole looks down at Cami on his chest "It's a classic Cami." She narrows her eyes at him, "Okay fine, no Fight Club" he says. Dylan and I both laugh. "Holes?" Dylan suggest. "Yeah sure why not" Cami says and we all agree.
After the movie finishes Cami and Cole leave. Dylan is sleeping next to me on the floor. I get up and grab a blanket to cover him with. I get on my bed and get under the covers. Sabrina walks in and sees Dylan on the ground. I raise up a finger to my mouth "He's sleeping" I whisper. "Okay" she whispers back as she tip toes over him and gets to her bed. She takes off her shoes and gets in her bed. "Night" she says as she turns off the light. "Good night" I say back.
