I wake up in my cabin with a paper rose on my lap with a note taped to it. I get up and read the note 'Dylan meet me at the docks after lunch -Forrest' I smile changing out of my pjs and into a nirvana shirt and another pair of ripped jeans. I grab my sweater tie it around my waist grab my bag and walk out to the cafeteria. I grab a chicken sandwich and sit at a table next to a guy I've never met. "hey I'm Alex nice to meet you." I introduce myself then walk out with the remaining part of my sandwich. I head to the docks looking around but when I look into the forest I see a shadow of a person. I ignore it and continue walking. "Hey Dylan over here." I hear Forrest's voice as I get near the docks. He's wearing swim shorts with a shirt on. Thank God! I then drop my bag on the docks and untie my sweater from my waist and toss it on top of the bag. I look at him and our eyes lock. His eyes are just enough for me to daydream in. "Dylan you are the most beautiful girl I have ever met." he says to me while I blush like mad. "but I'm emo and I have OCD. there's no way I am the most beautiful girl you have ever seen." I say looking down at my converse. He puts his hand on my cheek and I look at him. "in my opinion you are!" I blush like mad again. I can't believe this guy likes me! "So you wanna swim?" He asks looking at the water. I hesitate to answer him as I remember my father making me live on the street and me steeping on broken glass. "i prefer sitting on the edge." He looks at me then nods. I then smile as he jumps into the water. he then tosses me his shirt and I look away not wanting to look at him. my face slowly burning with embarrassment. "what's wrong Dylan?" He asks me as I look up at him quickly. six pack abs oh God! "oh n-nothing why you ask?" "You weren't expecting me to have abs were you?" I snicker a little "maybe." I say trying to act cool. "come into the water please." he says practically begging. "alright fine." I say taking off my shirt and keeping my under shirt on. I take off my shoes and socks and jump in. I make sure my feet won't be able to be seen. I hear a sound coming from the campfire that sounds like a a siren. "what's that noise?" I ask Forrest. "oh the cafeteria just burned nearly all the food. again." he says snickering. "well I have to go meet up with naja at the stables" I says getting out of the water. I dry myself with the towel in my bag then put my shirt on and tie my sweater around my waist. I wave to Forrest grab my bag and run to the stables. I ran away from him because I just needed some alone time. I climb the ladder and sit in the hay. I then look down and see a boy with blond hair walking in. I jump down from the hay area and look at him. "hey I'm Jacob nice to meet you and you are?" He says to me. "I'm Dylan, you coming here to ride?" I ask him. he nods at me his eyes glittering as he looks at me. He grabs my hand but I pull away. "do you have a boyfriend?" He asks me when I refuse. "yea of course I do." I say my voice getting higher. he grabs my hand and kisses me. I embrace it thinking what could go wrong. then out of nowhere Lynx walks in staring at us. "Dylan what the hell! I thought you were dating Forrest." I push Jacob off of me. "H-he just kissed me!" I say looking at Lynx, "please you have to believe me." I say tears rushing down my face. "Dylan just I don't know how the hell I'm supposed to believe you." he say to me then walking out. I grab my bag and run out of the stables tears rushing down my face. I don't know what to think anymore...
