A/N: Haha, hey guys! The description pretty much sums it all up. Just read at your own risk and try to not wince in my errors. Here you go..

" Have you heard the latest gossip? " Khaila's voice was loud and clear in our table that everyone near us flinched at her pitchy voice.

The five of us groaned at her question. Don't get me wrong, Khaila is a very good friend but she needs to stop invading people's story. She was always the perky one in our group. I sighed and run a hand through my long, brown hair.

" Okay, Fine. I won't tell you. " We all sighed in relief when she said that.

The cafeteria seems to be full today, there are some students scattered in every part of the cafeteria with their lunch trays in hand. I often wonder why I wasn't like them anymore but then, I changed and found great and true friends.

" Seriously, your stalking business have got to stop. You might invade people's privacy. " Angeline retorted, pointing at Khaila with her fries in hand.

" Yeah! I mean, you could hurt people without even meaning to. I've watched too many cliche' movies to prove that. " Cassy encouraged Angeline's retort.

" Guys! Stop worrying about her obsession at stalking, " Khaila started to blurt out things like 'It's not a stalking thing' but I put my palm to gesture her to let me finish. " However, we have more complicated things to discuss and to protest about. "

My sudden outburst was followed by different reactions. Khaila was trying to remember it, Cassy was curious with desperate eyes finding answers in my brown ones, Angeline was clueless and frowning, while Claire had the same reaction as Cassy.

I groaned and face-palmed my face. " Don't you remember? Tomorrow is 'The Day'! "

The 4 of them suddenly changed their reactions into frowns and groaned with me. We called it 'The Day' because it's our week long camp in an island somewhere. Our parents agreed to our coach, Coach Ricky, about it. I bet that the only reason why they did is because Coach Ricky told them that phones were not allowed during the camping. I think he said, " It's all about nature. " and shit like that. We couldn't even stand Coach Ricky, let alone being with him. And his subject only made it worse because he is our P.E. teacher. Yes, And the students who has the worst teacher ever award belongs to my friends and I.

When coach broke the news to us, which was two days ago, the five of us planned. We all own like five phones and each one are used on different days of the week. But, of course, I made up a brilliant plan. Mr. Ricky told us or more like warned us, that phones will be collected, so, we all decided to let him confiscate one phone and then we hide the other phones in our lingerie bag.

" I still don't want to go! " whined Claire. Angeline patted her back and said, " I feel you, bro. " with a disappointed look.

" What the hell are we going to do in an island anyway? It's not like we're going to go treasure hunting with Dora. " murmured Cassy. She tends to make her protests and insults kept to herself and to us, only. I never knew why.

Suddenly, my butt felt itchy and I'm dying not to scratch it. I tried scratch it by acting like I had something in my back pocket. I felt relieved after that butt-scratching session.

As if on cue, my arrogant brother and his group of friends I like to call legion of demons, entered the cafeteria. They were all sporty people with hot bodies and intelligent brains but the only problem is that their egos are as big as their 6"2 height with manners as small as their cocky dicks.

My friends and I are not fond of sport so, we were kind of miserable at our activity tomorrow while my brother and his friends are excited about it.

Assholes!! I thought. They entered the room like some gods they were. Yeah, right! They all descended from Hades. Apparently, all girls were swooning over them, even my best friends. I didn't even steal a glance at them.

Yes, they were all attractive, even my brother. I mean, who wouldn't? Good looks, great brains and rich families. They were worth it. I couldn't help it. Everyone thought that I wasn't attracted to someone when all I was attracted to was with him.

He managed to catch my heart with his good looks. And he, my friends, is Ethan Smith. An A+ student with toned body and the heir to his father's trading company. Ever since he and my brother became friends, I had grown fond of him and over the years, I was slowly falling for him. Of course, no one knew about this, not even my friends. I like to keep it to myself because I'm afraid of falling. Not literally but metamorphically, of course.

I ran my fingers through my hair and held up an annoyed face for them, even though my insides and my heart was telling me that I was swooning over him in my mind and heart.

I stood up and went to the vending machine near the door. I inserted 50 cents and pressed the cappuccino button. I waited for the aroma of sweet and delicious coffee to be poured into my cup. Once it did, I sniffed the coffee and moaned for it's great aroma.

I love coffees. Any kind of coffee is accepted by me. Frappuccino, cappuccino, black, white, blend, anything. I drink twice a day but makes sure that I don't overdose much on coffees because too much caffeine could make a person's mind malfunction.

I went back to our table only to be met by them, talking to the girls. I coughed to get their attention and it seemed to work. Ethan flashed me a grin, showing off his perfectly white teeth and ran a hand through his hair just like I do. I gazed into his eyes and so did he but did not seem to want to break it.

My dickhead of a brother, MJ and my big mouthed best friend, Khaila shared a knowing look. I broke the stare and glared at my brother. I frowned and placed my coffee on the table. I sat down but my brother beat me to it and pushed me down, sending me flying to the floor.

Yay! Thank you floor for being so hard! A hand was offered to grab me up and I gladly took it. When I stood up, my brother was looking at me with a look that makes me the laughing stock.

" You son of a bitch! " I flashed my middle finger at him. He only grinned wider.

" Sorry, kid but that bitch is our mother. " he retorted and flashed his white teeth.

" You fucking moron. I can't believe that your my brother. " I said through gritted teeth.

" I can't believe it either, kid. " He said with pity in his eyes. His attitude went through the line and I smacked his head with my hand full of rings which caused his large ham and cheese sandwich flying into Jay R's chest.

"Ohh, the cheese!" MJ muttered and said 'ouch' after a few, unnoticed moments later.

" WHAT WAS THAT FOR? " He asked with sadness in his voice. And he, my friends, is the weirdest brother who mourns on food. Who the hell does that?

" That was for being a jerk. " I said and left to my locker to get ready for chemistry class. As I was about to leave the hallway where the lockers are located, I heard my name being called. My head jerked to the voice of the person who called me.

He ran to my side with his perfectly, tousled blonde hair bouncing to different direction. Once he got here beside me, he flashed me one of his irresistible smiles.

" We have chemistry classes together. Would you like me to accompany you to our class? " he offered me.

" Even if I decline it, you will come anyways. Fine, let's go! " he swung his backpack to his shoulder.

As we walked side by side, we didn't make a single noise. It was quiet but the comfortable kind. We are just enjoying each other.

Just out of nowhere, Mark appeared. He wiggled his eyebrows at us with suspicion in his eyes. " And where, do you both think, are you going? "

" To class. " Ethan simply answered.

" Are you sure? " he asked with a glint of accusation in his voice.

" We have chemistry together. " I answered for the both of us.

He gasped, " Oh my god! This is news to all of us! When did this happen? "

" Uhm, ever since the school year started. " We both told him, much confusion running around our minds.

Then, the worst boy case scenario happened. He shrieked like some fangirl swooning over Harry Styles and made heart shapes with his hand,

Oh! Now I get what he meant. I face palmed myself. " Not like that you idiot! " Ethan smacked him from behind to stop him from gagging.

" We have a chemistry class together. That's what I meant! " I explained.

" Oh! It's okay, see you both lovebirds around. " he left waving at us.

" What the hell! " I muttered in shock.

#TIMESKIP

The day seemed to last long but I still couldn't believe what the hell happened after lunch.

I caught a ride home with Khaila since we were neighbors. When we got home, I thanked her and quickly went home to get my things ready. On our way home, I begged Khaila to stop at the mall to by some power banks because our teacher told us that there were no plugs there.

I was suddenly met by sweet, chocolate smell. My favorite. " Mom! " I called out. Her answer came from the kitchen. I dropped my bag on our couch and raced my way to the kitchen, following the sweet trace of the chocolate chips' aroma.

My dad usually came home at 10 at night since he was a busy business man. Although, it was worth it because he was able to make us live and help other people. I kissed my mother's cheek and she hugged me.

I smiled sweetly at her then stole 3 pieces of chocolate chips from the plate. " Mom, I'm going to my room. " I said and took my bag from the couch. I went upstairs to my room only to be met by my brother at the tip of my bed.

" What are you doing here? " I asked with hatred in my voice,

" Before you kick me out, I just wanna tell you somethings. " Okay. I did not see that coming.

" Mark said something to me and I was just worried about you and Ethan. " I started rambling things to tell him that we were not together but ignored them.

" First of all, I'm concerned about you and him. I don't want him to stop being friends with me when you two broke up. "

" Second, I don't want him to lose his V-card with no enjoyment. " I gasped, God! My brother is gross!

" And last of all, I don't want to have a niece yet. So, use protection. " He winked at me and stood up.

" Wait! " I called him. " I need to tell you something. " I sighed.

He turned to face me. " First of all, We are not together. Whatever Mark told you, was just a misunderstanding. We were walking to our chemistry class when Mark appeared, he saw us and asked where we were going. I answered, " We have chemistry. " but then, he took it the wrong way. "

I looked at my brother's eyes and sighed. " You know, I've seen the way you looked at him and I think I know what it is, "

" What? " I asked him with curiosity and fear in my voice.

" I think you like him. " he said and then I was out of breath.

" Was it that obvious? "

" No, sis. It was only obvious to the people who are really paying attention. I'm sorry about being a d*ck earlier. " he apologized and then hugged me next. I hugged him back and nuzzled my nose at his chest.

" Yeah. Like how you look at Khaila when you see her. " We both laughed at each other.

" How cliche of us. " He joked and broke the hug. " Well, I should get going. See you tomorrow, Sis. " I groaned at the mention of tomorrow. He then winked and left, leaving me all alone in my cozy room.

" Wake up! " I jerked away from the cold water poured on me.

I was confused on where I was but then, as my brother hit me with more water, the realization hit me too with a pang of tiredness.

The bus was starting to stop in a gate. I looked at what was inside the gate and saw many cottages. The bus moved in, slowly entering the camp. As I get to see deeper, I saw the crystal blue color and palm trees. Beach!

Great! I think I know what Coach Ricky wants us to play on the beach. I hate volleyballs. I frowned in disgust.

" Alright! Let's get moving people! " As coach called us one by one, we made a line. Because of our surnames near each other, here is Ethan, standing in front of me, while my obnoxious brother stands behind me, Once we were all named, coach gathered us to have a meeting.

" Since the cottages are not enough for separate genders, both will have to share, There are 10 cottages and 100 students from 2 different classes. Alright! Pick 10 people and get on with it, "

" I thought they were real cottages" " I murmured to myself examining the large houses designed like cottages.

I looked around, trying to find my friends. I spotted Claire's blonde hair and immediately went to her. " Hey guys! " I waved at my friends. My smile soon faded when my brother was talking to Khaila, who was nodding her head.

My brother soon noticed me and excused himself, " Sis, we are going to be roommates! "

" What is your real plan here, brother? " I raised my suspicion and eyed him.

" Nothing! " He blurted out, Worst liar of the year. Before I could question him, the group started moving to the cottages.

" Let's get the closest one to the beach! " Jay R suggested enthusiastically. They all practically raced to the cottage they were saying, leaving me all alone with Ethan.

" SO, why didn't you go with them? " I asked while running my fingers through my hair.

" If I went with them, no one would probably be here with you left. " He smiled at me, flashing me his perfectly white teeth.

His face is actually more handsome than I thought. Shaggy blonde hair fell into his gorgeous dark blue eyes. He was almost a head taller than me, my eye level was looking at his perfect pink lips which opened in a beautiful smile that I wish I, myself owned. It revealed perfect, white teeth. He was wearing a black sweatshirt with a safety pin as a zipper pull. He also wore slightly tattered jeans and a pair of black and white DC shoes.

He smirked at me knowingly, " You done checking me out? "

Heat rushed into my cheeks and denied it but my voice betrayed me by stuttering, " Of co-course, I-I wasn't che-checking you out. "

" Uhuh... " I looked at his blue eyes that kind of looked like the sea. Then, I got swallowed in the water and slowly sinking into his eyes. I didn't even realize that we were still walking because it almost felt like the world stopped moving.

" Ouch! " I moaned as the pain was quickly felt by my face. I rubbed it as Ethan started panicking and rushed into my side.

" Oh God! I'm so sorry, Tessa. " My head started spinning like the sewing machine. Slowly, I grabbed the tree that I hit but being slowly deteriorating in the darkness.

—

" Is she alright? " I heard someone ask. The voice seemed to be familiar but my mind is not cooperating very well with me.

" I don't know. " another male voice answered. God! My head hurts!

I flutter my eyes open and when they are fully awake, I was calmed by those pair of dark blue eyes. My heart melted upon the smile of reassurance he gave me. I tried to stand up but my mind hurts too much to lift it so, I stayed in bed.

" Hey! Are you feeling better? " he asked while taking the ice bag away from my forehead. Worry was etched on his face.

" Actually, I think my head was run over 10 dump trucks, 30 elephants and was thrown by King Kong into a tree. " He chuckled lightly, it's something that makes my heart swarm.

" I think only one of those was true. " He joked, but then turned serious like he remembered something. His forehead wrinkled.

" Wait here. I'm going to get some painkillers and some water. "

I nodded and rested my head back into my pillow. That was until I heard a cough coming from the other side of the room.

" I don't know how you got him take care of you, sis. He doesn't usually like to take care of things or let someone boss him, you know. It's the other way around. " MJ appeared, slowly making his way to my bed.

" So? " I asked, although, I really don't want to hear the answer to that. " So, that means, he's whipped. "

" Whipped? By who? " Anger, pain and jealousy crossed my mind. I turned to my brother with a deadly-serious face.

" And who is this maiden that we are talking about? I intend to know my competition. " I asked him fiercely.

" Woah! Calm down. I think we both know who she is. " I stared at him dumb-founded.

" Uhh... I thought you were supposed to be the intelligent one here. She is- " he was suddenly interrupted by Ethan who was making his way into the room.

" What were you guys talking about? " He asked while making his way beside me and handing me a a piece of painkiller and a glass of water.

" Oh, nothing. Just family stuff. " My brother lied. I'm surprised that his voice didn't betray him this time. Wow! Good job, brother.

" I'm gonna leave and see the other guys outside. And guys? " We both turned our heads towards his. " Use protection. " He winked at both of us.

" You're gross, man. " Ethan retorted to my brother while, I was there beside him looking like a tomato.

" You should rest, Tess. " He told me as he rested himself on the soft sofa with a lamp beside it.

He pulled something above a drawer and I was shocked when it was actually a novel.

" What book is that? " He looked adorable reading a book. I never thought that jocks read books.

" Uhm.. TFIOS. " Did he really sound shy? I mean, there's nothing embarrassing about it.

I perked up and sat down on my bed, " That's like one of my favorites. "

Seriously, a hot guy, who is good in academics, has a toned body and a rich family, reads novels. How perfect is that?!

He laughed at my reaction. He probably thinks that I'm some made woman here but I don't care. I found my safe haven at him.

Unbearable hours of silence later..

Ethan closed the book in his hand and placing it on top of the table. I was staring at the ceiling for no apparent reason.

" Hey,Tessa? " He started asking. I answered with a hum.

" Do you want to go outside to the beach? I mean, just walk along the seashore? " He had his puppy eyes on, which was unbearable and irresistible.

Moments later, we were both walking along the seashore, talking about favorites.

I looked up and saw the night sky, gazing beautifully. Ethan followed me and did the same.

" You know, I really love the night sky. It reminds me that you have to wait for the night to see the pretty stars. "

" Why is that? " he asked me skeptically.

" It means that everything has it's timing. "

After enjoying the scenery and the comfortable silence, I turned to him.

" Ethan, can I ask you something? "

" You're already asking a question, Tess. "

" No. I mean, fine. I'm just gonna ask you. " I chewed on my bottom lip and ran my fingers through my hair.

" Do you like someone? " I totally blurted out. God! I was so stupid.

His reaction changed from laughing to longing. " Yeah, I like someone. " He sighed and bowed his head in tiredness.

" I love her but she doesn't even know. I think, she's afraid of falling in love. " I was disappointed with his answer.

" Who is she? " He smirked at me and inserted his fingers in his pockets.

" I'll tell you if you answer the two questions that you asked me. " Cocky, aren't we?

" Fine. Yes, I like someone. And that someone is..... " I swallowed the lump raising in my throat. I'll never have a chance with him anyway. " Uhhm.... You " I said out of breath.

He didn't answer for a while. I knew it! He didn't like me. Tears started streaming down my face. I put my palms on my eyes. I felt a pair of strong arms hug me. I looked up and met his eyes.

He held my waist and pulled me close while he wiped my tear stained face with his thumb. " You know, that girl I was talking about was afraid of falling in love because she thought the guy that he liked didn't feel the same. " He looked straight into my eyes, finding my real emotions. He bit his bottom lip and looked at my small, pink ones. He looked back into my desperate eyes and leaned in slowly. I respond to his kisses after recovering. His kisses were soft and teasing. I opened my mouth as his tongue explored my mouth.

Thousands of elephants and butterflies were dancing inside my stomach. He drives me crazy with this intimate contact. We were both virgins and we knew it but I wasn't planning to lose it with him tonight.

Once we pulled apart from each other, he leaned closer to my ear and whispered, " I've liked you ever since your brother introduced me to you. " I hugged him with happiness in my eyes. He was already grinning from ear to ear.

I'm still wondering why today had to be the 'Realization Day'. I mean, any day could be good. We could spend more time together but this affection was only caused by observing each other, how surprising that fate works this way.

I really hope that you guys are still in one piece. Anyways, thank you for reading it, even though it's crappy.

As a peace offering, I hereby bless you with Holland and Daniel's gifs
