Summer Love

Chapter 2

July,2011

Carter's POV*

I woke up the next morning early at around 6:30. I rolled my tired body out of bed and picked out an outfit I had laid out yesterday. I slipped on my ripped up cut off shorts and a black tanktop with my bathing suit underneath incase I decided to go swimming. Then I laced up my black hightops and threw my messy hair up in a bun.

I noticed that Gabbie wasn't in her bed and immediately knew she must have been with Zayn. To confirm my prediction, I stepped outside and saw her with Zayn on the end of the dock. I smiled at how cute they were together.

He made Gabbie really happy and I'm forever grateful for that. They were standing on the edge of the dock, gazing at the sunrise. They had their arms around each other, holding each other close.

Of course me being me, I needed to do something to start the day off with a bang. So I crept up quietly behind them and in one quick movement, I shoved both of them in the water at the same time.

"Carter!" Gabbie screamed after the pair popped their heads out of the water. I was laughing so loud I swear the citizens of New Jersey could hear it.

"Okay, very funny. Your turn!" Zayn said, pushing himself out of the water and onto the wooden dock.

"No!" I screamed and began running away from him to spare myself of early morning chills from the cold lake. I ran down the dock then slammed into something hard and tumbled to the ground.

"Watch where you're going." The blonde from before said snottily. Really? Not even an apology?

"Well look who's up! You alright love?" Zayn asked me after saying hi to Niall. Zayn grabbed my hand and pulled me to my feet.

"Yeah I'm fine. Just a little dirty." I replied, brushing the dirt off of me. Zayn peeled his wet white T-shirt off and threw it on the dirt road.

"Well, we better fix that!" He exclaimed then threw me over his shoulder, running to the end of the dock.

"Put me down!" I screamed while laughing in hysterics.

"Alright." Zayn said once we got to the edge of the dock. He set me down then turned around to face Niall with an evil glisten in his eye. He looked at Gabbie then back to Niall and smiled.

Suddenly, Gabbie shoved Niall into me and we went flying into the water together. I popped my head up above the water laughing at the cruel joke they counter attacked me with.

"Sorry Niall. Are you alright?" I asked the wet irish boy who was obviously pissed off by this joke.

"No." He answered and climbed onto the dock, not even turning to help me up.

Zayn and Gabbie were laughing out of control as they ran into their cabins. I smiled and sat on the dock next to Niall who was now ringing out his very wet T-shirt.

I peeled off my wet tank-top leaving me in my shorts and white bikini top. Niall took his phone out of his pocket which was dripping and threw it down on the wood.

"Great." He said, angered.

"I'm sorry your phone is ruined." I apologized while staring at the sunrise.

"Yeah, well so am I."

"No need for the attitude." He is being such a jerk over a little incident that was just fun and games.

"What attitude? I bet if you were dumped at a stupid camp with two stupid girls you would be in a bad mood too!" Niall yelled, standing up.

"I wouldn't be such a jackass to everyone." I replied under my breath. He turned around as I stood up. I saw him examine me up and down, then settle on my eyes.

"What did you just say?" He asked me. I swallowed hard and stood my ground.

"If I was rich, famous, and good looking I would be grateful not such a jackass! It's a damn phone. I am sure you have enough cash to buy a new one." I yelled, now pissed off. He was amused by my anger but quickly twisted the conversation.

"You think I'm good looking?" He asked, taking a step closer to me.

"Not what we are talking about." I tried to swallow down my embarrassment over the fact that I had just let that happen, but it obviously didn't work.

"Then why are your cheeks going red?" He asked with a grin. I put a hand on my cheek to check the temperature of it. Sure enough it was burning red.

"Ugh!" I groaned and stormed past him. He's so frustrating. I'm not wasting my summer on some inconsiderate asshole.

"Uh hem." He cleared his throat from behind me.

I turned around and saw him holding my shirt I had taken off before. With embarrassment spread across my features, I walked back over to him and snatched my shirt, then stormed into my cabin while slamming the door shut.

I hate snotty rich boys.
