I'm standing in front of the bathroom mirror staring at my self. I've just got out of the shower, the cold water walking me up from a much needed sleep.

Leo dropped me off last night with a kiss, his hands wrapped around my lower back as he forced open my lips with his tongue.

I had to pry his hands off me to let me leave.

I look at the girl in the mirror, her pink lips are slightly swollen, her misty eyes more energetic. I can't shake the feeling of Leo's skin off. More importantly, I don't want to.

I fell asleep dreaming of him, the way he his hands felt on my skin lingered in my mind. His gorgeous green eyes finding their ways into my thoughts.

I brush my teeth and dry my hair quickly, not wanting to waste a second of the day that could be spent with Leo.

I open the bathroom door to an already dressed Alison and Naomi. Ali is in a red cropped top and black jean shorts. Naomi in a flowy white dress.

I slip on some baby pink joggers and a grey cropped top that hugs my breasts. Keeping my hair in its natural waves, I apply some concealer and lip balm.

I turn around to see Naomi checking her phone before throwing it onto her bed and rolling her eyes. "Everything good?" I ask raising my eyebrows and she sighs.

"Just some desperate guy," her unbothered facial expression makes me laugh, "no one important."

"At least you have a guy who actually likes you." I turn to look at Alison who's twirling her necklace between her fingers frustratedly.

"What's up Ali?" I sit down on the end of her bed and she dramatically puts her head in her hands before sighing loudly.

"I hate boys." She groans and I stifle a laugh.

"Don't we all." Naomi's voice calls from behind the bathroom door and I roll my eyes.

"Tell me what happened." I say and Alison looks up at me with a timid smile.

"Jax almost kissed me." She goes a light shade of pink and bites down on her bottom lip.

"About time." Naomi says at the same time I exclaim, "Almost?"

She nods her head, "He was drunk so I know it meant nothing, but he asked me to go somewhere quite and I said sure." She fumbles with her fingers.

"And we talked for a bit and then he leant in and he was this close to kissing me." She exclaims as she holds up her thumb and forefinger inches apart.

I can't help as a laugh escapes my lips, "Why did he stop?"

"I don't know!" She looks between me and Naomi with wide eyes, "He just mumbled something and then he said that he needed to go take a shower."

Oh, poor Ali.

Naomi catches on as soon as she says it and I can see her trying to bite back a smile.

"What does that even mean?" Alison shouts, her eyes confused as she looks at me and then Naomi.

"Don't worry child." Naomi says as she pats Ali on the head like a dog. I laugh as Alison furrows here eyebrows perplexed.

I jump up from the bed and follow Naomi out of the door. I hear as Alison hurries to join us as she realises she's been left behind.

The breakfast hall is buzzing. Children running around, teens lining up for food, camp leaders directing people to tables.

After grabbing food, we dodge a hurd of six year olds and make our way to our usual table. Jax and Eli are already sitting there, talking about something as they eat.
