CJ
"What in the world happened to you?" I heard Zac ask why'll he tried to hold back his laughter. But the keyword was tried.
And he failed at that horrible. I sent a glare his way before plopping down in the metal chair next to him.
"Shaylyn that's what." I answered back. My tone was a mix of anger and tiredness. "What exactly did she do to you?" Zac asked as he silently munched on his breakfast.
I shuttered inwardly and rubbed my growling stomach. I didn't care how hungry I was there was no way I was eating food from here.
Unless I was the one who cooked it and knew what was in it. "Remember when I accidentally spilled my sloppy Joe onto her lap?" I questioned as I recalled yesterday's event.
We had been at camp for five long days now. And each of those days I spent with Zac which got me one step closer to knowing him a whole hell of alot better.
And every day I found out new interesting things about him. And vice versa. But I never found anything bad about him.
I was beginning to think he was perfect in every aspect. And so far I haven't been proven wrong. But everyone has their faults. I'm just having a hard time finding his.
"How could I forget? She chased you around the camp ground for twenty minutes before Noah and Dougie dragged her away kicking and screaming nasty threats at you..." Zac paused and chuckled.
I could have melted, as cliche and corny as that sounds its the truth. "Ya know you two have a very...interesting friendship." He stated I laughed in agreement. There was no denying that.
"Yep we sure do. Anyway Shay decided she was gonna get revenge. So while I was peacefully sleeping this morning she went and got all the left over sloppy Joe mix and poured it all over me." I shuttered at the memory.
Zac scrunched his face up and looked at me in pure bewilderment. "And you didn't go straight to the showers why?" he asked in confusion. I laughed lightly and leaned back in the chair.
"All are taken right now. So I figured I'd come and annoy you instead of waiting in a line for a shower" I explained with a wide grin on my face.
"Aww thanks I feel so loved right now. But no offence Cj you smell...horribly." said Zac as he scooted away from me. I gasped and stuck out my tongue before I yawned widely.
Zac unwillingly mimicked me before shooting a sharp glare my way. I smiled sheepishly. "Sowwy. I didn't get awot of sweep wast night." I apologized in a baby voice.
Zac softened up and smiled warmly as he shook his head back and forth. "You sure are a unique girl CJ." he exclaimed teasingly. "I know. Everyone is so jealous of my uniqueness." I gloated.
"Don't get a big head now! Your brain may feel threatened by all that open space it will have! I'm pretty sure it's already scared out of its wits by all the open space it has now. Imagine how bad it would be if you got a big head." Zac joked.
Even though it was a rather lame joke I laughed quite loudly at it. I couldn't explain it but I laughed at every little thing Zac did or said.
And the sad part is I knew it made me look like a complete idiot in front of him but I still continued to do it. But I don't think Zac minded too much because he would join in on my insane and idiotic laughter.
"So what's on the agenda today?" Zac asked but quickly continued, "After you get a shower that is." I rolled my eyes before trying to remember what day it was today.
"Uhmm let's see it's free day today. So we basically do whatever we want to. So whatever you want to do is A-okay with me." I said with a big stupid grin plastered on my face.
Zac chuckled as he slid his plate away from him. I once again shuttered inwardly. "Well what is there to do exactly?" He asked.
I pondered for a moment before shrugging my shoulders and a heavy sigh escaped my lips. "Not much..." I trailed off biting my lip nervously.
"Well...usually on free days Shaylyn, Noah, Dougie and I go and hang out in the woods. So...we could always go an explore them." I suggested lamely.
Zac snorted in response which caused my enthusiasm drop dramatically. "There's not a whole lot to do on free days here." I explained in an upset tone.
I was kinda hoping he would want to go somewhere secluded with me. So we could actually spend time together without being interrupted by something stupid. Which seemed to always be happening.
And I only had nine more days left to spend with Zac and I wanted to make the most of them. Yeah sure after the third day we agreed to keep in contact by email, IM, and phone.
But that would last all of maybe two months then the emails, ims, and phone calls would start to decrease before they just stopped all together.
And I didn't want that to happen but I knew it probably would. So I vowed to make every single day I got to spend with Zac count. And that meant spending as much time as I could with him now.
"Oh I didn't mean to sound insulting. It was just funny. You sounded like a little kid when you said that...It was just funny that's all." Zac explained nervously but his voice still held that teasing tone it always did.
I glared playfully at him but he took it seriously. "But it was funny in a cute way." he exclaimed quickly while blushing brightly.
I giggled while a blush slowly crept onto my face as well. "Okay I'm gonna go and take a shower and then I'll meet you behind the drama building when free time starts and we'll figure out what we can do." I told him.
Slowly I scooted my chair out and stood up carefully. Last year I had learned standing up to quickly in these chairs was not a safe thing to do.
Zac agreed silently and I took that as my que to leave. I said a quick bye before heading back to my room to grab a new change of clothes and my toiletries.
After a very long hot shower, with hardly in water pressure, I was clean and ready to start my day. I began skipping slowly as I made my way past the tetherball court.
"Ceej come on we have a game going on here!!!" A counselor whined and I just stuck out my tongue and stopped the ball with my hand before skipping away.
I heard threats from behind me but I shrugged them off. I was used to the threats. I mean having to put up with my dad's girlfriends kids kind of built up immunity to threats.
"Finally!!" A voice I had grown very familiar to whined. I smiled and waved before slowing my pace down even more. Zac groaned pitfully as I walked over to him.
"Oh grow up you big baby." I ordered teasingly as I walked around the drama building with him. "Now on my count run as fast as you can into the entrance ahead of you. Okay?" I instructed.
"Why do we have to run?" he asked confused. "Uhm let's just say were not supposed to leave the camp grounds and the woods are technically not part of the camp grounds." I stated quickly.
"Then why are we-" I cut him off by grabbing his hand and entwining it with mine. "GO!!!!" I screamed as we began running as fast as we could into the dark woods.
After about five minutes of running we finally came to a slow walk. "This is nice." I said trying to break the silence that had encircled us. Silences don't go over well with me.
"I have to agree it's great to finally get away from everything and get some peace and quiet for once." Zac agreed. "I'm guessing you don't get alot of peace and quiet where you live then?" I asked trying not to be nosy.
He tensed next to me and I bit my tongue regretting the words that had just left my lips. "Uh you could say that...It's uh very noisy at times." He explained nervously. I decided I shouldn't intrude anymore so I just left it at that.
"I remember the summers I would come here and stay the whole summer with my uncle and cousin. Everyday I'd come out here to get away from everything. Every little stupid problem I had just was washed away when I came here." I began.
"Soon I began thinking that this was my own magical place. It took all my fears and pain away and actually made me feel peaceful and relaxed for once. It's just weird." I explained in awe.
Zac soft laughter brought me out of my daze I had unknowingly slipped into. Every time I came here I got captivated by the amazing scenery that surrounded me. "Well it's the truth." I defended.
"I understand. But once again your face was priceless you looked like a stoner." explained Zac. I rolled my eyes and pushed him playfully off the man made path. Zac laughed softly before pushing me back.
I gasped in fake shock and pushed him once again. I knew he was going to once again shove me so I began scheming in my head. And as predicted he did and I gasped fakely before falling to the ground dramatically.
Probably a little too dramatically but Zac fell for it. Perfect. I heard him gasp and watched as he ran to my side. "Oh my God I am so sorry Cj! Are you okay?" He asked in panic.
"I think so-" I tried to stand up but let out a fake cry of pain before falling back down. "Shit." I cursed under my breath as I thought of the saddest memory I could to make tears well up in my eyes.
Silently I was thanking God for granting me such amazing acting skills because I could see in Zac's eyes that he was falling for this. Man he's way to gullible. "Zac?" I asked painfully while looking up.
It was then that I noticed our bodies were painfully close. And with one wrong, or right, movement from one of us could cause our lips to crash down on each others. And I wasn't so sure if that was going to be such a good idea.
At least not now...or ever. Not with the way our situation was. So before Zac could say anything or I do anything I might regret I pushed him over me causing him to start tumbling down the small but steep hill below us.
But Zac, being smarter than I gave him credit, pulled me down with him. I laughed carefree as we both rolled down the hill in each others arms. As cliche as it sounded being in his arms felt so right.
But I knew that it wasn't true, I was just so desperate to have feelings for Zac that my mind shut down and began thinking up absurd things. Like we belonged together just because we had so much in common.
I mentally shook my head. I wasn't going to think about that now. All I cared about right now was that Zac and I were having fun...together. I didn't care that the rocks below us were cutting into our skin and leaving long deep cuts.
I didn't care that later I would be too sore to do anything. I didn't care that thanks to this I was going to have to once again wait in line to take a damned shower. All I cared about at the moment was making a memory with Zac that I would keep with me forever.
"You are a mean and horrible person for doing that." Zac whined when we came to a stop. I laughed before looking at the position we were in. I groaned mentally. Could this get anymore cliche?
Zac was carefully, and skillfully, hovering above me while I laid on the surprisingly comfortable ground. "Eh you know you liked it." I teased as a grin grew over my features.
"Hmm maybe I did...Maybe I didn't. Either way I'm gonna get you back." He stated with a completely serious face. I gulped nervously while looking Zac straight in the eye. I couldn't tell if he was joking or actually being serious.
Damn. This guy is good. "W-What are you going to do?" I stuttered nervously. I wanted to slap myself. I just let him know I was fearing whatever he might do. That was my first mistake.
Actually my first mistake probably would have been thinking this whole scheme up because now it's back firing on me. "Something cruel and horrifying that's gonna make you be begging me to stop." he explained darkly. My eyes grew and I began sweating.
Okay I'm freaking out just a little now. My breathing stopped completely as I began thinking of the worst case scenario. I was jerked out of my morbid thoughts when I felt callused but soft fingertip running up and down my sides.
Instantly I burst out into laughter so I squirmed around trying to get away from Zac. But my resistance was futile. He just began tickling me harder. "Okay stop! Stop! I'm sorry for tricking you! Just stop!" I begged.
Though I didn't want him to stop. Butterflies were flying around my stomach as his fingers flew up and down my sides. "Well I suppose you learned your lesson." Zac teased as he stopped.
My breathing was ragged from trying to get away from Zac but I was slowly getting it back to normal. But my heartbeat wouldn't slow down. It could have something to do with the fact that Zac's face was getting very close to my own.
I felt his breath on my own lips and I shivered at the tingles that reluctantly ran down my spin. It was such an intoxicating feeling and I felt stupid for wanting to feel it again.
Unconsciously my eyes fluttered shut as Zac got closer and closer. And in seconds we were...
With chances taken hope embraced and have I told you? [[Rest in Results]]
Zac
Groaning. That's all I could think to do when Cj's cell phone began going off loudly. Erupting the silence that had once surrounded us and ruining the moment we were so close to sharing.
The moment I have been dying to share since I first met her. As creepy as that sounds. I sat up and moved off of her as she mouthed sorry before answering the phone.
"Hello?" She asked annoyed. I watched as she listened intently to whoever was on the other line with her. I began drumming my fingers on my leg, a nervous habit I had ever since I began drumming.
"He what?!" Cj screamed standing up quickly. I followed suit suddenly alert to what was going on. "Oh Annie please just PLEASE tell me you are joking!" Cj begged with the girl on the other line. I raised an eyebrow and she shot me a hold on look.
"Oh my God! Does mom know?" asked Cj, she looked like she was on the verge of hysterics. "Whoa he wants to what?" Cj's eyes grew and I stepped closer to her. "That asshole! Oh Annie it will be okay I promise."
"Just hang in there alright?" Cj paused as her voice cracked, she cleared her throat before continuing, "Okay babe I gotta go now but I will call you later okay? Alrighty I love you. And thanks for letting me know." Cj sighed as she hung up the phone.
I shifted nervously as Cj began mumbling incoherent things to herself. "Uhmm is everything okay Cj?" I asked nervously. Cj stopped and looked at me sadly. She shook her head no and nervously ran a hand through her long hair.
She laughed bitterly, "No. Nothing's okay. Everything is going wrong." She shouted kicking a rock before grunting in pain. I walked closer to her and engulfed her in a hug. It was the only thing I could think of to do. And it thankfully seemed to work.
I heard Cj sigh before hugging me back. "I'm sorry Zac. It's just...family issues and...I just think we need to get back to the camp grounds." She stated. I shook my head in agreement before we broke apart.
But I immediately grabbed her hand. I wanted to let her know I was here for her even though I had no idea what was going on. Cj smiled knowingly and gave my hand a quick squeeze letting me know she got my message loud and clear.
So in complete silence we walked back to the camp grounds. I was hoping when we arrived she would explain to me what happened. But I got a completely different version of what I was expecting.
Okay I liked CJ's pov alot but Zac's I got lazy on...like always. Oh well. It'll get better and funnier soon...I hope...I notice I say that all the time...So don't take it seriously xD Rate.Feedback.Pick♥
