Well, flying sucks.

I really wished that I was home, sleeping in my bed. But no, I was on a stupid plane, next to my worst enemy that was even annoying when he was silent. And I hated that about him as well. No matter what he did, he would always be able to annoy me. I was sure of that.

Lexi wouldn't even talk to me, and it was obvious that she was trying to prove a point. She wanted Jesse and me to bicker, because she always found it amusing. Was I the only one that saw all the bickering bothersome? Jesse seemed to always get a kick out of it whenever he was making fun of me.

He must have gotten annoyed by me sometimes, right? He had to! He always annoyed me with his comments and pranks, but he must have been annoyed with me, too! I sure hoped he was, because that was what I was aiming for. I wanted Jesse to be annoyed with me, because he always was able to annoy the crap out of me. And I hated that about him.

I wish I could go to sleep whenever I wanted to. I wish I could have just closed my eyes and slept for the entire flight, but I knew that that wasn't going to happen. I had slept for about an hour, but now I was wide awake for the rest of the seven hours we were supposed to be on the plane.

Flying from California to Maine was such a pain. Why did we have to be sent to some stupid camp?

I hate it when Jesse was right.

I hated it so much.

I really thought that I wasn't going to care that he wasn't going to talk to me. But I did care. I cared a lot. I hated being bored, and that was exactly what I was right then. No cell phones or computers allowed, not even an iPod. I was about to go insane.

Jesse looked perfectly fine, as if not talking to me didn't even bother him. He did have a smug little smile when he noticed how crazy I was getting, but I tried to ignore it and focus on something else. But it was entirely too hard to ignore Jesse, even when he was being quiet and saying nothing at all.

"Well, now I'm bored," Lexi said flatly from behind me, kicking my chair lightly. Yeah, now she talked to me, of course. "I thought you'd burst after five seconds."

I bit the inside of my cheek, trying to stay calm. "I've been asleep for the past hour."

"Well, we have another six hours to go. What are you planning on doing?"

Why did she have to ask me that? I had no idea what I was supposed to do. Why did Jesse have to be such a jerk? Why couldn't he just talk to me?

I bounced my knees up and down, waiting and waiting for him to turn and finally talk to me. It had been only an hour since we had gotten onto the plane, and I had slept for that hour But now that I was wide awake, and I couldn't go back to sleep, I was completely bored out of my mind. Couldn't he just talk to me? Even if he was saying something annoying, that was perfectly fine! I hated being bored!

"Alright, that's it!" I snapped, earning some stares from the people sitting around us, but I didn't really care about them. "Talk to me, Jesse! I'm bored out of my mind, and I want you to talk to me. So talk!"

Jesse didn't even turn toward me.

"Jesse!" I cried, now yanking on his arm as I continued to try and get him to look at me. "Will you just talk to me? Please? I'm bored, and I want you to talk to me! Please?"

He didn't even budge.

"Please, Jesse?" I whined, leaning over and placing my head on his shoulder, my arms wrapped around his. This would get his attention for sure! He couldn't ignore me now when I was so close to him!

I felt the muscles in his arm and shoulder tense, and I found myself smiling smugly to myself. This had to get his attention; there was no way he actually liked being this close to me!

"Will you talk to me now?" I asked, clutching onto his arm even more. I was sure that he hated how close I was to him, but I was kind of surprised that he hadn't pushed me off yet. That was the reaction that I wanted! I was sure that he would push me off and give me some obnoxious comment!

"I'll only talk to you if--" Jesse started, but then he mumbled the rest of whatever he had said. It sounded dangerously close to, "If you stay the way you are right now," but I was sure that it wasn't it. There was no way that Jesse wanted me anywhere near him.

"What?" I asked, lifting my head but still keeping my arms wrapped around his. "What did you say?"

"Nothing, get off me," Jesse demanded, yanking his arm away and shoving me away a little. I smiled, happy that I had finally gotten the reaction I had been waiting for. 

"Well, at least you finally talked to me," I smiled smugly, brushing off my arms a little. "I was starting to go crazy over here."

"Starting?" Jesse smirked, shaking his head at me. "You're long gone from there, sweetie."

My eyebrows furrowed. I thought that I'd like having his obnoxious comments back, but I guess I was wrong. And I really hated when he called me names that boyfriends would call their girlfriends. I knew that he would do it on purpose because he knew that Dallas used to call me by those names.

"I was wrong," I pouted, crossing my arms and turning away from him. "It's better when you're quiet and not making your stupid comments."

"Oh, come on, Jordy," he teased, leaning over and clutching onto my arm, lying his head on my shoulder the same way I had to him. I had made a big mistake trying to get him to talk to me. I should have just tried to go back to sleep instead of getting him to talk to me again. "You wanted me to talk to you!"

"Well, I made a mistake!"

"No you didn't! Admit it, Emery! You secretly love me and you always have!"

"People are starting to stare! Get off me!"

Jesse only snuggled into my arm even more, causing me to squawk out. I really did hate him, and I had made a huge mistake getting him to talk to me again. I really should have just went back to sleep, or daydreamed or something. But no, I was an idiot and got my enemy to talk to me again.

"Come on, Jordy," Jesse whispered into my ear, nuzzling his chin into my shoulder even more. I hated when he called me Jordy, I hated whenever anyone called me Jordy. Dallas was the first one to ever call me that, and he was the only one as well. But after what had happened with him and the whole prom incident, I didn't like being called all the cute things and especially Jordy.

And Jesse knew that.

So of course he had to make fun of me every chance he got. He would call me those names, like he actually cared about me or something. I wanted a guy that would call me names like that and mean it when he said it, not when it was just to make me angry and annoyed.

"Jordy," Jesse continued to say, obviously noticing how annoyed I was with him. I was going to slap him one of these days! He was just so annoying! There was absolutely no way Yolanda could ever like him back, since he was such an annoying idiot!

"That's it," I finally snapped after he had said Jordy for about the fiftieth time. "I'm spending the rest of the flight in the bathroom to get away from you." 

I got up from my chair, passing Jesse as quickly as I could. When I passed Lexi, I could see that she was smirking, which caused me to roll my eyes at her. It was no big surprise that she was amused by all of this. She usually was when Jesse and I fought. People usually found it annoying or amusing... I just found it plain annoying.

"Wait, Jordy, let me join you!" I heard the annoying aforementioned boy cry out before I slammed the door shut behind me as hard as I could.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"This place is such a... camp."

I really wanted to roll my eyes at Aimee, who was looking around the campsite, her giant sunglasses still on and her luggage in her arms. Now that we weren't friends anymore, it made me think about why I was even her friend in the first place. She wasn't exactly the nicest person in the world, and I wondered if I ever thought like that when we were still friends.

"Because it is a camp, Aimee," Emily said, giving the redhead a strange look before turning back to Yolanda. Emily and Yolanda were so different, and yet they were still best friends. Yolanda was the shyest person I had ever met, and Emily was only shy around certain people. She had light brown hair and green eyes, and she was pretty into horror movies and other things of that nature. Yolanda, on the other hand, couldn't stand those kind of things. But they were still best friends and every time I saw them together I never understood why.

"Well, I don't like it--" Aimee started, but then abruptly stopped when she tripped over a pebble. A shriek of terror escaped her lips, but she was quickly caught before she could hit the ground. She looked up at her savior, smiling flirtatiously as Jesse looked down at her, a confused look on his face.

"Why, thank you," Aimee giggled, placing a hand on Jesse's chest.

He looked completely unfazed, standing her up straight before bending over and picking up his luggage. "No problem. Just be careful where you step next time."

Aimee completely swooned when he turned away from her, turning and giggling about something with her two snotty friends. Aimee didn't like Jesse, did she? Couldn't she just stick to one guy for once? What happened to Bruce? He was the reason why we weren't friends anymore!

I noticed AJ frowning as she watched Aimee giggling with her two new friends, who I didn't even know the names of. I knew that AJ wanted to be with her, and the thought made me frown. Aimee didn't deserve a friend like AJ. AJ was nice and sweet, and Aimee definitely wasn't. I just hoped AJ got over all the sadness with Aimee soon.

There were kids walking around, which startled me at first until I remembered that this place was a school to begin with. There weren't as many people here as I thought there would be, about thirty people. I thought a lot more people had played pranks, but they obviously didn't.

"You look excited," a voice said from my left, knocking into me and causing me to drop all of my luggage. I glared at Jesse, kneeling down and picking up my bags before he could say anything more. That boy was seriously the most annoying person on the history of the planet.

I reached for one of my bags that had rolled away from me a little, and as I did, another hand shot for it as well. Our hands brushed against each other's, and I couldn't help but feel that it was familiar.

I looked up at the boy who was now holding my bag out for me, and my eyes widened when I saw him. Obviously recognizing me, he smiled brightly. "Jordan, is that you?"

I found myself smiling as well. "Yeah, it is! Ryan, it's been forever since I saw you last! Oh, my gosh!"

I leaped up, hugging Ryan as tightly as I could. He was my best friend when I was little, and I used to be jealous about how he was Asian and I wasn't. I didn't get why I was so jealous, but I guess it was because he could use chopsticks and I couldn't. He was Japanese, and I was also jealous of his last name.

Don't ask me why.

I was a strange little kid.

"I haven't seen you since second grade! You look so different!"

"It's been ten years," I heard a voice say flatly from behind me, causing me to glance back and glare at Jesse for a moment before quickly turning back toward Ryan. Why was Jesse suddenly acting like that? I expected him to crack a joke and make fun of me or Ryan or something. But he didn't. He sounded upset, angry even.

But I was so excited to see Ryan! I thought I would never see him again after he moved! But here he was, right in front of me, and I felt like my face was going to break because I was smiling so much.

"Oh, let me introduce you to my friends," I smiled, remembering the three girls that stood beside me. Wow, was I a good friend or what? How could I totally forget that they were there? "This is AJ Crow, Lexi Lightle, and Chelsea Evans. Guys, this is Ryan Komiyama, my best friend from when I was little."

Ryan looked over my head at the boy who stood behind me. "And who's this?" he asked, an eyebrow raised.

"That's Jesse," I dismissed with a wave of my head. "He's my e--" "He's her boyfriend!" Chelsea giggled, jumping up in between Ryan and me. "His name's Jesse Jacobsen, and he's going out with Jordan!"

"Chelsea!" I snapped, glaring at her. "I am not! Don't lie."

She stuck her tongue out at me, winking after she had done so. "Sorry, Jord. I just couldn't resist. The look on your face was just so hilarious..."

I rolled my eyes, shaking my head at her now. How could she think that Jesse and I liked each other? He was just so annoying, as I had said so many times before, and I didn't think that he was boyfriend material at all. Yolanda could have him for all I cared. Anyone could have had him! As long as he was away from me, I was perfectly fine. He could have even ended up with a guy and I wouldn't even mind.

"Why, hello, new students!" a new voice now said, sounding way too excited and chipper. I turned around to see a man standing before us now, his hand on his hips. "I'm Camp counselor Matthew, it's great to meet you all!"

We all kind of just stood there and stared at him for a few moments, not really knowing what we were supposed to do. Regular students of the camp had now stopped to look at why there was a huge group of kids surrounding the entrance, and I felt my stomach drop a little. I didn't want any attention put on me. I hated when that happened.

"It's great to have you guys apart of Camp Kingston!" Matthew clapped, now leading us into the camp and away from the entrance. He was way too excited for his own good. No one else was even close to being as happy and excited as he was. I didn't even think that it was possible to be as happy as he was.

"Some of you will be getting the brand new cabins, and some of you will be living with the current students. You all have a counselor for each cabin that you have to check in with whenever you leave the cabin after eight o'clock, and you have to make sure to check with them when you come back, which should be before curfew, which is midnight," Matthew told us, looking down at a list once we stopped in front of a bunch of cabins. "There are eight people in each cabin, and some of them aren't full yet. Of course, boys will be living with boys and girls will be living with girls--" Some of the boys groaned at this, causing me to roll my eyes. "--Now, I have the list right here, and I'll be reading off your names and telling you what cabins you will be living in."

Boy, that guy sure could talk a lot.

I really hoped that I wouldn't have to share with someone that I didn't even know. I used to live at home, where I got my own big room with a lot of privacy, since my parents never bothered me and my brother was away at school. But what was I supposed to do if I had to share with someone that totally hated me?

Like Aimee. If I had to share a cabin with Aimee, I was probably going to break out of the camp and hitchhike all the way back to California. There was no way I was going to room with a backstabbing slut like her... Even if she had one been my really good friend.

"Sharing with current students in Cabin A: Aimee Dennett, Alexandria Quirk, Elizabeth Downy, and Chastity Reynolds," Matthew instructing, pointing to the first cabin behind him. Aimee smiled at the two girls that she had been talking to before, so I supposed that they were two of the girls that were just called. But the other girl, who I knew was Chastity, looked absolutely terrified that she was going to be living with Aimee and her friends and brand new girls. I would be pretty scared, too.

"Sharing with currents students in Cabin B: Danny Wilkins, Max Ferr, Jesse Jacobsen, and Matt Phipps..."

Ha-ha! Jesse was going to have to share his cabin! But it was very unfortunate that the three boys that were called with him were his friends. I didn't want him having any fun while we were here, but it didn't look like I was about to get my wish.

"Looks like I'm bunking with your boyfriend," Ryan smirked from next to me, obviously very amused. My eyebrows furrowed, and my nose wrinkled in disgust. How could anyone ever think that I'd go out with someone as rude and selfish as Jesse Jacobsen? Why would any girl want to go with him?

"He's not my boyfriend," I told him, shaking my head. "He's my enemy, my nemesis, my rival. That's all he is and all he ever will be."

Ryan shrugged. "Whatever you say, Jordan. I wonder why he was acting all moody earlier than when you were talking to me..."

"He was not acting moody," I now said, shaking my head. "Now go to your cabin and let me listen to where I'm going to be staying."

Ryan rolled his eyes, giving me a small wave before making his way toward Cabin B. I really hoped that he would get along with Jesse. I didn't want him fighting with my old best friend, even though there wasn't even a reason to. But knowing Jesse, he would find a reason to.

"In a brand new cabin," Matthew started again, and I quickly turned back toward him to listen, "Cabin C: Lexi Lightle, Emily Annex, Cindy Jones, Yolanda Jenkins, Chelsea Evans, Annabelle Jo Crow, Molly Anthony, and..."

Please, please, please let it be me! I'm begging you, please let it be me!

"... Jordan Emery."

I almost did a little happy dance as I heard my name be called. I was going to share a cabin with my three best friends, and not to mention the girl that my enemy had a crush on. But Yolanda was my friend, if I could call her that, and Emily was as well. They were also friends with Cindy and Molly, so I was sure that we were all going to get along just fine.

"Getting a brand new cabin, Cabin D: Butch Martin..." I could hear Matthew anymore as I practically sprinted all the way to the cabin. It looked pretty big for a cabin, and it was obvious that there was only one room in the entire house. But I didn't even care. Maybe it was actually going to be fun at Camp Kingston.

But then I realized something when I looked out the window to see someone waving at me from another window.

We were right next to Jesse's cabin, Cabin B.

Oh, this was going to be fun.

Not.

"I wonder what types of classes we're going to be getting," AJ said, plopping down on one of the eight beds that surrounded us. I shrugged, plopping on one that I called my own. I wondered myself what kind of classes we were going to get.

I was so used to going to school with girls, I didn't even know how it was going to be like going to class with boys. The last time I had gone to a school with boys was in eighth grade, and I couldn't even remember that at all. It felt like such a long time ago...

Headmistress Belladonna said that we were going to get two electives--one that we chose, and one that we didn't. It was part of the punishment for pranking each other all the time, so we would have to mix together and get along. As long as I didn't have a class with Jesse, I was perfectly fine with whatever I got.

But I did wonder how he was in a classroom. Was he quiet? He probably wasn't. I didn't think Jesse could ever really be quiet, so I quickly forgot about that. He was probably the class clown or something. I really wanted to know how he acted. He probably got horrible grades and didn't even care. That was just the kind of person Jesse Jacobsen was. He was a complete screw-up.

I couldn't help but wonder about it. I wondered if he had ever gotten detention before for something other than pranking us.

Yeah, I was sure he did.

"Did you see the counselor for Cabin B?" I heard Cindy ask Molly, who nodded quickly in response, almost eagerly as she looked at her friend.

"Yeah, of course I did! He is so hot! I'm so jealous that the boys got him as a counselor and not us! I would be perfectly fine with him scolding me for being late, if you know what I mean..." Molly giggled, and the rest of us started laughing, understanding what she meant right away. Having a hot counselor would have been fun, but we all knew that we would be getting a girl counselor.

"Well, of course boys are going to have the boy counselors and the girls are going to have the girl counselors," Emily said with a smile, plopping down on one of the beds and smiling. "But it would have been so cool to have him as a counselor. He looked totally dreamy. Yum."

I blinked, continuing to listen to everything they were saying. I kind of wanted to see this guy now. He was making three girls go completely weak at the knees by only walking by? I definitely wanted to see the guy. I wondered if he was as good looking as they were saying he was. And by the way they were acting, it seemed like he was breathtakingly gorgeous.

"I don't think he's as good looking as Jesse, though," Molly now said, rolling onto her stomach on her bed now. I couldn't help but make a face. "Now he's totally hot. Super dreamy and yummy, like I could totally stare at him all day if I was allowed to. It should be illegal how hot he is! I swear, just one look at him and I think I'm going to faint!"

I wrinkled my nose at this talk about Jesse. He wasn't good looking at all, at least not to me. Why would they think that he was attractive?"

"Jordan, you're so lucky, whenever Jesse's around, he's totally focused on you the whole time. It's like no one can get his full attention whenever you're around," Molly now said, turning toward me and looking at me with a look like she was admiring me and jealous of me at the same time.

"It's just because he likes to annoy me," I dismissed, waving a hand in front of my face. I didn't get why everyone said that Jesse only focused on me whenever I saw him. That couldn't be true, right? He couldn't have hated me that much. Well... I definitely hated him that much.

"Let's go see Cabin B's counselor," Cindy smiled, jumping up off the bed, "And then you can see Jesse too, Molly! Well, if he doesn't immediately turn to Jordan when we get there, which I'm sure he will. But you'll still be able to talk to him, Molly!"

I just didn't understand. Jesse wasn't only focused on me. He couldn't have been. I was me, he was him. We were enemies and we hated each other. Maybe it was because he liked to annoy me so much that he only focused on me. That had to be it, if it was even a possibility.

The seven girls that I shared a cabin with jumped up and bolted out the door, and I rolled my eyes and slowly made my way after them. Even though I wanted to see the guy as much as they did, I wasn't going to make it obvious and be all eager. I didn't want to make him think I was desperate or anything.

I followed the girls, still as slow as I could, but I was still able to make it there the same time as them, even though that really didn't make any sense to me. I was actually very excited, but I was going to keep that inside for right then. I didn't want to come off desperate.

Cindy knocked on the door, and I thought that I saw Yolanda shaking. Was she nervous? I hoped she was nervous about seeing Jesse! And I hoped that he was nervous about seeing her as well! He probably was... If he liked her, he was definitely going to be nervous.

The door opened, revealing the one face I really didn't want to see. He smirked at me, but all I could do was glare up at him. "Well, Emery, did you miss me so much that you came to see me? That's so sweet, but there's people in here, so we can't do anything right now."

I felt my cheeks heat up in embarrassment as I realized what he had meant, and even more when I heard the guys laughing from the inside of the cabin. I really hoped that Jesse's roommates weren't big jerks like he was. "Shut up, Jacobsen," I snapped, sending my fist flying and into his chest. He didn't even seem bothered by it though, which bothered me very much. Why didn't my punches hurt him?

"Is your counselor here?" Cindy asked, trying to jump up to look over Jesse's shoulder. But she was too short, and he was too tall.

"Yep," he answered, popping the 'p'. "And I assume you're all here to see him."

"I just followed because I didn't want to be in the cabin alone," I lied, crossing my arms over my chest and rolling my eyes. That really was only half the reason... I wanted to see this counselor guy, too. Jesse raised his eyebrows, and it actually looked like he believed me.

"Well, Emery, I have a surprise for you," Jesse now smirked, cocking his head to the side a little.

Before I could ask him what, AJ's jaw suddenly dropped. "Adam?" she asked, pushing Jesse out of the way with surprising force, which let the rest of the girls and I in. I couldn't see a counselor, but I saw Jesse's stupid friends, Ryan, two other boys, and another boy that seemed very familiar.

AJ went up to the familiar boy, blinking. "What are you doing here, Adam?" she asked.

Adam...?

Adam!

Adam was AJ's next door neighbor! And he went to my middle school! We had even been friends! That was where I had seen him before! How could I not remember him? Sure, I hadn't seen him since sophomore year, but I still should have been able to remember him...

Adam shrugged, crossing his arms over his chest. "I didn't like high school very much, so my parents sent me here, that was all," he answered, shrugging once again.

Wow, his parents were really generous if they sent him all the way across the country for school. I had no choice in the matter, so my parents had to let me go... Not that it really bothered me very much. But Adam had gone to the same high school my brother had gone to...

Seeing that there was no counselor there, I was starting to get bored. Wasn't that the only reason we had come here? I didn't want to be around Jesse if I didn't have a reason to be, and right then I definitely didn't have a reason. It was annoying being unnecessarily around him...

I turned toward the door to leave, but I stopped dead in my tracks right where I was when I saw that there was someone in the doorway, looking at me in surprise.

I think I just found Cabin B's counselor.
