Chapter 6: Beach Sand And Cook Outs

Mireal's picture

True to his words Liam was always around me the last week of camp. It was tuesday already and we were all supposed to part on Saturday. We still did exercises every morning and also duties but today was particularly annoying.

Linda was student supervisor and she made it a point of duty to pick on me. I couldnt do anything cos she was in authority. She made me work harder than cinderella ever did but being the more mature one I let her have her moment.

" I need you all to take your seats " a supervisor announced to the noisy crowd in the hall. Jordan and rebecca were standing in front of us all while the other four supervisors were seated on a high table.

" I am sure you all have enjoyed your stay here and its been three weeks already. " a plump woman who I hadnt seen before stood up from the high table " tommorow we are gonna do something a bit fun. So you all are expected to be ready by 7 am sharp you can bring some supplies with you cos we are going walk a lot. Its an endurance trek " she added earning a loud groan from the crowd.

" where are we going? " its a girl's voice.

" that is a surprise but I hope you ll love it " the woman replies " so today I need the student supervisor to nominate a person in each group and we will work together to complie a list of everyone in each of these group and pair them. The grounds we will be walking on are assummed dangerous so we have to make sure we ve got each others back " I shiver as she says this and I picture myself tied on a stick with savages chanting to have me burnt down.

Yeah not gonna happen.

We were given a few minutes to come up with nominies. The camp was all about team work and the supervisors always take note of our relationship with each other when given a task cos they are supposed to collate all the result and give them to the teachers who accompained us. They serve as extra credit for some people who dont do well in school.

Linda came to our group last and there were seven groups in total. " so who's gonna go".

Everyone is quiet and obviously not in the mood for extra work.

" okay billy your gonna do it since no one is ready to talk "she says tapping her foot impatiently.

" alright lets go " billy shrugges and follows her.

Thirty minutes later every group seprated to check out their partners. Linda called ours out after telling us it was a boy and a girl to a pair.

" billy and christy " she started.

" Lisa and Jason ".

She went on and I couldnt help but wonder who she paired me with. Surely she wouldnt stoop so low to get even with me- though I do not deserve that.

" myself and of course Liam " she continued her eyes locking with mine and giving me an evil smile.

Obviously she was gonna take Liam

I didn't mind though it was just a stupid pairing thing doesn't matter who I get paired with.

Yeah keep telling yourself that

" miranda and daniel ".

That bitch!

I was really upset when she said this. Okay no I was furious.

No offence to daniel though I mean he's a great guy

Really??

When she was done the others left and I slowly made my way to the canteen to get something to eat. Chocolates seemed good right now.

And i hated chocolate

I buy three snickers bars collect my receipt and open one am about to take a bite when I hear my name.

" miranda " its linda and I groan.

" what is it linda " I say opening the other two bars of chocolate.

Shit was bout to go down

" just wanted to know if you love your partner " she is smiling evily and her plastic boobs seem bigger today.

" yes as a matter of fact I do now would you get outta my way please " I am messing up the chocolates in my hand.

I wasn't gonna eat it anyway

" you dont tell me to get out you low class bitch. The same way you dont get to steal my- " she stops as she sees me my free hand (the one not stained with three bars of chocolates) reach into my pocket to bring out the receipt and reading it.

" what are you doing? " she asks cocking an eyebrow at me.

" I checked and I realise I didn't buy any of your bullshit now can you excuse me " I try to move out of my her way but she pulls me back.

" I am not done with you. You think your a smartass with great comebacks but your just a boyfriend stealing slut ".

That does it

I promised myself she was gonna get some bitch slapping

In swift movements I smear her face with the chocolates in my hand and ensure it reaches her perfectly curled hair and wipe my hand on her top.

" you bitch!!! " she shierked and it sounded like a banshee in one of those teen wolf series and to think her name was also linda -at least I guess it was.

" I did you a favor if I had a face as ugly as yours I lld also hide behind a chocolate face mask " with that I walk away leaving queen bee linda awed.

Score
Manda : 4
Linda : 1
I am starting to like my bitch mode

_________________________

Seven in the morning and were already lined up and waiting for instructions. Luckily for me linda wasn't supervisor anymore. Word got round about how I put her in her place and she wasnt happy about it. Mireal somehow had a video and made lisa lily and liam watch it over and over again.

One time they were watching it and linda walked into the room. The whole place fell silent she gave them (excluding liam of course) one look of plain disgust and exsited then they burst into laughter.

" am happy to see you all are ready for this. I hope you packed some food with you cos its gonna be a two to three hour walk " the plump woman is bubbling with excitement.

I was starting to wonder if she was actually gonna walk with us she didn't look like she could walk for thirty minutes without fainting.

By eight we set out in batches in a speed boat to where our walk would begin from. By nine all groups were safely on shore and we could begin.

We started off nice and slow everyone just enjoying the ocean breeze and guessing where we would end up after the walk.

Some guys tried to act manly and carried their partners but got tried soon enough.

Like they could actually carry them all the way

I tried looking for liam but he was no where around so I finally gave up and endured the small talk daniel.

He was actually sweet and nice but other features of his cancel out all those. He carried my bag pack most of the journey and once in a while dropped hints that he liked me and thinks am really beautiful.

I spot mireal and jake under a tree kissing when we were all still walking.

" you better hurry up mister cos if u get lost and I cant find my best friend I ll hunt you down " I say and continue walking leaving them blushing.

" Hey " someone suddenly says behind me and I jump into daniel who looks more than happy to catch me.

Liam

" hy and cant you act civillized for once " I roll my eyes.

" nope " he replies popping the p.

" Where's linda " I am sure he actually ditched her.

" never mind about her that chick is gonna make me lose it one day " he's running both hands through his hair.

I laugh " like you havent lost it already ".

" is it me or are you getting cocky " he looks really suprised.

" just shut up "

" Oh danny didn't see you there am just gonna borrow miranda for some time you cool with it " daniel doesn't look cool with it but he nods and liam is about to take me away as I take my bag pack from him.

" Oh yh am while am at it can you hold this for me? " liam says tossing his bag pack to daniel not even waiting for an answer.

Trust him to be mean

" whats up " I say looking at his blue eyes as he holds my hand. I was really getting tired and the whole path was filled with Beach sand making it impossible to walk.

" I just saved your ass from a boring kid " he says pausing to empty sand that got into his sneakers.

" he was actually nice you know " I defend danny.

" yeah yeah whatever. Remind me when we get back to camp I wanna tell you something important kay? " he says.

" what? " I hate suspense.

" till we get back to camp " I frown as his statement has a tone of finality.

What does he have to tell me that cant be said here?

We will see.

" Hey do you know why I talked to you on the second day of camp " he suddenly asked startling me.

" because I am beautiful and you couldnt resist " I relpy smirking at his horrified expression.

Maybe his cockiness IS rubbing off on me

" actually no. Its because you look like someone I know. Her name is heaven same height and all. I think she goes to your school " he beamed and I thought about which heaven he was referring to.

" Oh I know her she's actually a good friend of mine " I state wondering the relationship they had.

I almost trip again but liam catches me at the right time.

Curse all these sand!

" she's my cousin " he says and I realise av been holding my breath since.

" what? " there was just this feeling that he was lieing to me or better still wasn't telling me the whole truth.

" yeah " I didn't wanna push the issue further. It was not my place to question him like that.

We finally got our destination and I felt dumb. I should have known all this while we were going to the beach.

I felt the breeze blow against my skin and I shivered. We were all happy - talk about a nice surprise.

" Hey we are here " rebecca announced after we all stopped " I need everyone to go over to the cabin on the right and pick up bath suits and change I will see you all in twenty okay " we all rushed there very excited to be on the beach.

I had been to a number of beaches my parents loved going out to relax under the sun sometimes. We met a lady at the cabin she was already handing out bath suits.

" I cant wear this " I cry as I examine what I was given and mireal rolls her eyes.

" here " she tosses me a pair of orange shorts. She is a life saver. " I couldnt bring any tops so that bikini top will have to do ".

" thanks " I give her my cutest smile and she laughs. I was too self concious and couldnt go around without being fully clothed. Mireal on the other hand could wear anything anywhere.

We joined the others outside and I saw that the supervisors were relaxing in a corner. Two hours of splashing and sun bathing made us really tired as we had to walk back. Returning to camp we got lost twice but luckily found our way back everyone hitting their rooms immediately.

___________________________

I wake up the next morning earning stares from the girls at morrison high. I was beginning to feel self conscious.

Did I look extra ugly today?

Our morning activities went on as usual and the stares graduated to whispering.

" is there something happening today that I should know about? " I say to the nearest person to me who happens to be mason and he laughs.

" I was beginning to wonder if you are not noticing the death glares coming your way " he replied. " personally I lld ignore them though they are just a bunch of rich snobs ". Mason happens to be from crenshaw high which is also one of the top schools in new york but nowhere near morrison high.

I nod in appreciation but deep down am not satisfied. As we make our way to the hall for breakfast I decide to attempt smalk talk with one of the girls. I didn't think lily and lisa knew anything about it.

" Hey ariel " I force a smile. " Oh my gosh are those new shoes they look totally glam ". Ariel was a pretty nice girl with short curly hair and brown eyes but a freaking shopaholic.

" I know right i just got them yesterday and they were totally expensive but again thats my style " she flips her hair and pauses to let me get a better look at the sparkly foot wear.

" thats totally fab " I say rolling my eyes inwardly dieing to get to the point of this whole conversation.

" I could get you one and dont worry its on me- Oh shit am not supposed to be talking to you " she covers her mouth with both hands.

Score!

" why? Did I do something to you? " I feign confusion.

" no you didn't - not to me anyway but its cos of what you did yesterday " she says as we enter the hall.

What did I do yesterday anyway?

" am sorry you lost me " I am genuinely confused right now and she gives me a look that probably asks if am serious.

" remember at the beach you and liam? " she says and I try to think of what I would have done to incure the anger of the whole richies.

" I cant remember exactly " I say.

" you kissed him making linda upset so we all have to give you the silent treatment at least until she's okay ".

What kinda law is that

" hold on I did not kiss Liam " I frown in annoyance.

" you didn't? Really now? "

" yes we just hung out most of the time yesterday but there was no intimacy about it ".

" thats a relief I better tell the others. sorry for the death glares though I ll buy u a pair of chinos to go with that top as an apology gift " with that she skips off to her table and talks to someone girls.

I have no appetite to eat anymore. So i walk out of the hall. I really needed some air.

I kissed Liam? I do like the idea though

Thats the worst thing I have been acussed of

I don't steal peoples crushes

I listen and hear jordan saying something about a cook out later in the evening which happens to be our last group activity before saturday which was sadly approaching fast. A talk was gonna be held on thursday by the head supervisor and then there would be a bonfire party on friday to send us off on saturday.

I walk farther away and sit under a tree playing with a twig as students troop out of the hall. I join the crowd and head straight to my room.

" you cant seriously be like that becos someone spread shit about you " mireal screamed for the fifth time.

" I know but I cant help it what if he already heard " I pout at a fuming mireal.

" it doesn't fucking matter that guy fucking likes you and wont give a fucking shit bout that "

" you need to watch your language " I smile and she's pulling her hair.

" I know you like him just as much "

" what? no way " my blush is very evident and my attempt to hide it all prove effortless.

" yeah yeah whatever helps you sleep at night "

" I do not "

" I am tired of your running away from things that are clear. Am not saying he's perfect and you guys wont get into those fights but you gotta give it a go. A week from now you would probably regret you didn't and cry about how you miss him but heres your choice " she finishes and I cant even say a word.

" okay I kinda like him no no I do like him. I think he's really cute with a really sexy smile and a hot body. His dark hair and blue eyes are sooooo - ".

" whaoo who knew miranda ryder was such a pervert " she's laughing and making me blush.

" never speak of this to any one okay? " I say sternly.

" you have my word " she says and her phone buzzes " Oh its almost time for the cook out I av gotta set up with the others you coming? "

" no I ll be there when it starts " I say.

I wasn't much of a cook.

Lie

Okay I wasn't a cook at all. So i was probably just gonna watch them do their magic.

Two hours later we came last in the contest and had to eat the horrible mixture our group prepared. Apparently no magic had been done and mireals culinary skills were burnt at the bottom of the big pot. A big fight had happened between the girls on who should be the head chef and it didn't result well as things were just being added randomly into the hot mixture. I didn't even get the chance to talk to liam since we all went to bed in anger at ourselves.

Too many cooks really spoil the broth
