c16 - tents + firewood
SINS POV (back to normal rotation now)
*******
"Sinnnnnnnn. Sinnnnnn. Sinnnnnn. Wake up. Jagger is here, he's giving us a lift instead cause Brandon and Rhiannon are already there, setting up the tent." Lina whines in my ear, like a little toddler.
I groan and sit up. "Already?"
"Yeah, already, it's 2pm, dickface." She rolls her eyes before walking over and adding a few final things to her bag, but luckily I'm not stupid so I packed last night.
The group, as in Rhiannon, Brandon, Patrick (sadly), Paige, Jagger, Arianna, Lina and I are meeting in the woods as it's bonfire night, and camping over the weekend for two nights, as none of us have classes.
We invited Arianna's twin, but she's found a set of friends she's more suited to, so she hangs out with them.
I crawl out of bed and grab some clothes and whack them on, everyone in the group showered either last night or this morning as we won't be able to for another two days. By the looks of Lina's beautiful hair, which is tied up in a bun with a black,soggy scrunchie, I'd say she washed herself this morning.
I showered last night.
I head to the toilet area and brush my teeth, there's no point eating as we are going to bring some food to cook on the fire when we arrive there.
Lina checks her phone, and glares at me.
"Hurry up! It's so rude to leave him waiting when he's kindly taking us, asshole! How would you feel?"
I snort. "I've known Jagger a while, little red, destress, okay? It's not like you to be worried about being rude, and we don't want you going soft, now do we, eh? That's my job."
"There's a difference between being soft and being a piss-pants, love, you just don't see it." She smiles sarcastically before waving and leaving the room.
I quickly check I've got everything, before grabbing my keys and closing the door, I lock it and have to check about three times before I know it's safe, and then I run after her.
"Hey, ugly." I grin at her, to be welcomed with a frown, "sorry little red, I was joking, your beautiful."
She raised an eyebrow. "Tell me something I don't know."
We walk in silence until we get to Jagger's car. Here I was, praying he'd just be driving us, but I am welcomed with the faces of Paige and Arianna.
At least that asshole Patrick isn't here, out of our whole 'group' he is certainly my least favourite.
Paige sits in the front, and I notice Jagger's hand is rested on her thigh.
Well done mate, make the most before she's in the tent next to you with her boyfriend.
Arianna sits on the right side.
"Sorry guys, I get car sick, is it okay if I sit here?" She smiles.
I grunt a "yes..", not really bothered, Lina also says yes and sits in the left, leaving me to climb over them to get in the middle.
Lina's thigh sort of rests on mine, but Arianna's doesn't as she is less curvy and more like a model figure, although I don't see the hype in taller girls.
"How long's the journey?" I ask Jagger, and he checks the satnav,
"Like an hour and a half." He replies, before looking worryingly at Arianna and passes her a bottle of water, "make sure you drink."
Arianna nods gratefully and rolls her down her window slightly.
The car starts, and I close my eyes, bracing myself for a journey full of sleep.
*****
"How long now, Jagger?" Paige asks, the only one out of the females awake.
Arianna has fell asleep with her head rested on the window, holding her water bottle, her mouth wide open, the speaker to a light snore that seems to be escaping every minute or so.
Lina originally fell asleep on the window, but has since moved and her head now falls on my shoulder. I may be a dickface or an asshole as she portrays me, however I'm not that cruel to move a sleeping woman. Her hands hold themselves, and her thigh still overlaps with mine. I'm glad her hair is in a bun, because if it wasn't, I would probably be eating it by now.
"Like five minutes. Oh, Sin, can you wake them up, please?" Jagger says, looking in his view mirror.
I nod before tapping on both their shoulders multiple times until Arianna finally budges.
"Can I borrow that water, please?"
She looks confused but hands it to me anyway, I quickly undo the lid and dip my fingers in, before massaging the cold water into Lina's cheek, nose, lips and eye.
She jolts awake from the cold, and instantly moves her head away from mine.
"Asshole, you could've just shook me!" She frowns, before looking out the window.
Paige turns around, "It was peaceful before you woke up, so please shut up, you annoying bitch."
Jagger and I catch eyes in his rear mirror, both waiting for the bitchy argument that will keep us entertained.
"Sorry, what did you say? I don't speak skank." Lina yawns with a shrug, whilst Jagger pulls into a car park near the woods entrance.
I let out a chuckle, and Paige huffs and turns around, clearly she expected to receive more of an outcome.
"Think a certain Cat may have got her tongue." I whisper in Lina's ear, and she smirks proudly, clearly feeling achieved and accomplished.
I choose to ignore the hairs on her neck that stand up, I probably frightened her.
We all get out the car and begin to grab our shit from it, then we look at the map Rhiannon gave us the other day and follow down the small gravel path, in the middle of all this woodland.
When we finally arrive at the spot Rhiannon chose, you can tell how early she must have made Brandon come here with her, the poor guy.
She had fairy lights wrapped around the trees, there was two tents that were decorated. The bonfire was lit in the middle and around it were the appropriate amount of camp chairs for us. There was a speaker further away from the camping area and bonfire, and next to the speaker were a box of sparklers. These guarded a small gazebo, which I'm presuming is where her and Brandon have put the food.
"Jesus christ, Rhi, we're only teens, not bloody queens." Lina scoffs, to which I reply for Rhiannon with a glare.
"Shut up, little red, you can tell she went through a lot of effort so be more grateful, yeah?" I place my hand on her shoulder and whisper in her ear.
She shrugs me off and is about to be rude to me, but then looks at Rhiannon's disappointed face and bites her lip.
"Sorry, Rhi, it's um, really cool. Yeah." She nods awkwardly before going into the tent that has her name on the poster.
Patrick, Paige, Rhiannon and Brandon are in one tent (Presumably because they all plan to fuck) and us four are in the other.
I follow Jagger and Arianna into the tent. Lina sits on her sleeping bag, she has already set up an area.
Arianna sets herself next to Lina, so I put me and Jagger on the other side of the room.
I lay my duvet out on the floor and place the blanket on top of it.
"I take back what I said to Rhiannon, apparently some of us are royalty. A duvet? At camping? Seriously?" Lina raises an eyebrow.
I stick my finger up at her and leave the tent, I hear her laugh before she comes out with Arianna and they begin chatting to Rhiannon.
"Sin, do you wanna come with Brandon and I to get more firewood?" Jagger comes over to me and I take him up on his offer.
We walk through the woodland, it's quite a stunning place. I'm sure it would be even more nicer in the summer, so I take a mental note to come back here when the sun is alive again.
"So, what's going on with you and Rhiannon? Are you guys actually dating, or what?" Jagger says as he picks up a decent load of sticks and a log.
Brandon shrugs, picking up another piece of wood.
"I'd say we are dating. I haven't officially asked her yet or anything, but like, come on. We act like we're dating, right? I think we just don't want the excitement to buzz out bt labelling it. But she's my girl and well," he scratches the back of his head, "i think I love her."
I turn away so he can't see my laugh, don't get me wrong I'm happy for him and Rhiannon, I just don't get it.
Although he must have noticed, because Jagger decides to explain.
"Sin doesn't do love. He thinks it exists, he loves books, and secretly that geeza wants to be loved, he just don't like to admit it to himself, so he pretends like he doesn't want it."
Holy shit. Maybe Jagger knows me more than I thought?
Brandon looks at me. "Sorry, man. And here I was, thinking you had a thing for Catalina."
"I mean, she's hot, but I wouldn't shag her cause it'd
make things too awkward." I laugh, thinking of how we argue but also are good friends. why would Brandon think I have a thing for her? A thing for that annoying, loud, moody bitch?
Jagger and Brandon raise their eyebrows and continue to pick up sticks.
"Sin, are you going to carry any?"
I cough and help them, and once we have collected everything we begin to head back to camp.
Sweat has soaked through my back, and I am glad to see the girls, okay, probably more Rhiannon, have started to cook.
"Dinner time!" She claps, looking at us.
~~~~~~~~~
Wow! Longer chapter today. I normally do shorter ones than this. Would you prefer this length, the normal length, or smaller/larger? Let me know your preferences!
I think Sin is starting to fancy Lina a bit, what do you guys think?
