Operation Rainbow- An original story

Day 2- Chapter 4

Heyyy! Hope you enjoy this next chapter! 

Oh, also, I have the plot roughly drafted out, but take extreme note on the word roughly. 

Have a nice day!

Rowan's P.O.V

I slowly opened my eyes, letting the sunlight hit me slowly, waking me up. I sat up, before noticing Elijah and Oliver, snuggling under the blankets. I grinned, remembering how long it took to get those two together. Way too fucking long to count.

I checked my ankle quickly, luckily the sharpie was still black as well, black sharpie ink. I climbed a couple rings of the ladder to reach Belle.

"Yo. Wake up. I said, poking her arm. She opened one eye, and glared directly into my soul.

"I hate you." She seethed. I shot her a grin and a wink and finger guns as I grabbed my jeans and hoodie.

"You know you love me." I laughed.

Belle shrugged. "I mean, yeah." She began. I felt my cheeks blush slightly. 

"Like a sister." She added. I nodded. Like a sister. Just a sister. How fun.

Alas, the pain that came with unrequited love swirled in my stomach as I got changed. I quickly brushed my extremely damaged electric blue hair (I'd gotten the dye from the dollar store. Not the best idea) then grabbed my book of the table. Percy Jackson And The Sea of Monsters if you must know. TJ was leaning against the table, snacking on a granola bar.

"Are the boys up?" He asked. I was about to shake my head, when Elijah and Oliver walked in.

TJ grinned. "Right. We have a couple hours till we need to drive again. Just go and enjoy the campsite. Just don't die. Please don't die." He begged. We nodded, promising we would stay alive. (Unlike Phillip) i'm Sorry. That was mean.

Elijah and Oliver ran off into the woods, probably to kiss each other. After I had raided the mini shop, I saw Belle. Talking to a boy. I crept up closer, trying to hear their conversation. Reading spy books comes in handy.

"Hey ummm. Do you think you could show me the way back to the tent site. I'm kinda lost." He asked, scratching the back of his neck. Belle laughed.

"Sure. Here, let me show you." She grinned. His cheeks went a gentle rosy pink colour as she grabbed his hand. I huffed. I knew Belle was pretty, I mean, I had first hand experience. But he didn't need to flirt with her.

He leaned closer to her, gently touching her cheek. She looked downright uncomfortable. I ran up and flung my arm around her shoulder.

"Hey. That's my-," I paused. "Girlfriend you were tryna kiss." I growled. Belle looked at me confused, then sighed.

"So. You're a lesbian?" He asked, pointing at Belle. She was about to correct him, but I gave her a look.  It wasn't worth explaining. The two chatted for a bit longer. I couldn't tear my eyes of her pins. Pride flag pins. The first one was black, then grey, then white then purple. The second was two shades of green, then white, then grey, then black.

"We better get heading back. Here's my number." Belle grinned, handing him a folded piece of paper. I shot her a glare as we were heading back to the caravan.

"You gave him your number?" I said. Belle sighed.

"He's a nice guy, ok. What's it to you?" She groaned.

I sighed. "Sorry." She shot a half smile at me.

"It's okay. Just please don't police me. And he's just a friend." Belle said. I nodded, jumping back into the caravan. Elijah and Oliver were sat playing some video game, shouting curses at each other. TJ was eating a sandwich. Belle stuck her tongue out at him, resulting in her getting a middle finger back.

"We have 15 minutes till we need to hit the road." TJ states. Me, Belle, Elijah and Oliver, all stared at each other, nodding.

13 minutes later 

"EVERYBODY'S GOT A COUSIN WHO CAN HOOK THEM UP WITH SOMETHING!" We screamed in unison, head banging. So we were a little over dramatic. Just a touch.

TJ sighed, shaking his head. "I will never understand you. You're listening to a musical about weed." Belle glared at him, as he held his hands up in surrender.

She grinned at me, making my heart to somersaults. Stupid love.

Hope you enjoyed so far!

Everyone's comments always make my day!

Have a great day!
