-My Three Favorite Junk Foods-
________________

*******************************
The next morning I wake up my lips still tingling.

Shit

I totally forgot I kissed her last night.

what did I do? I can hear Aiden coming closer to me.

"Dude, time to get up." I nod and just glance around the room, Mason stirs but doesn't get up, I take a sigh of relief, that kid is a handful.

I walk outside and see everyone stranding—shivering, by the flagpole. I thought it was supposed to be hot this week... I don't think I've even had the thought of wanting to go in the water all week during all camp swim...

Kierra walks over to me, I can see her contemplate if she actually wants to confront me. With one swift nod of her head, she steps towards me.

"Did you hear?" She asks hear what?

"Hear what?"

"Liz had to go home, apparently some of her campers saw her self harm or something..."

"What?" I ask shocked, she seemed perfectly fine on the hike yesterday—then again I wasn't there the whole time.

"Kaylee woke up with the CITs this morning just to tell me... I sigh and look at her,

"Are you okay?" I prod, her eyes gleam up at me.

"Yeah I'm fine, but Kaylee is a wreck. And I guess hideaway one was crying all yesterday and so was some of my cabin." she says, I sigh, of course this happens now, she needs to make sure she is taking care of herself; knowing her she'll just end up making sure everyone else is okay.

"How's your head?" I change the subject and she shifts uncomfortably in the spot she is standing in,

"It's fine, still hurts a little but I've been trying to drink lots of water." I nod my head, the next moment I am engulfing her in a bear hug. Her hair smells like strawberries.

"If anyone asks, I'm hugging you because I was making sure you were okay and your head hurt still." I whisper in her ear and I feel her nod in my shoulder, we stay that way for a moment and then she moves away, her eyes momentarily looking at mine then looking at everyone else who was staring at us. Allison clears her throat.

"We should start."

*******************************
I let him wear my blanket as we go back to our cabins,

"Give it back to me later," I say and he just nods, I walk into my cabin and can practically smell the salt from all the tears, "Guys..." I say sympathetically and they all look at me,

"Oh Kierra!" Fiona yells and runs up and hugs me, I don't know what to do so I just stand awkwardly there with her arms around me,

"Umm–it's okay..." I walk into the other room to go and see Allison and Ellie and see that all the campers were crying in there as well.

Joy. The new counselor that replaces Liz is trying to comfort one of the girls,

"Kierra!" Allison exclaims, "Are you okay? I saw you get carried into the nurses office," I don't know how to respond so I just nod rubbing the back of my head,

"I'm fine, my head just hurts a little."

"Wait what happened?" Ellie says looking at me worriedly,

"I passed out from dehydration that's all,"

"Oh, there are so many rumors about what happened. Yesterday at dinner everyone was either talking about you or the 'Liz thing,"

"Wait–what are some of the rumors?"

"One of them was that you got into a fight with Kaylee about Colin and she knocked you out," I groan "Another one was that you fell and hit your head on a rock or something,"

"The second one makes a lot more sense." I say and sit on Allison's bed, I turn to Allison, "Did you happen to tell anyone what really happened?" she shakes her head,

"Didn't think it was my business, besides I knew nothing, all I saw was you unconscious in Colin's arms." I sigh and look around at the crying girls,

"I should go get ready for breakfast," I say and walk out of the room,
_

"What happened yesterday?" Aiden asks me,

"What do you mean?"

"With Kierra, all I saw was you freaken running really fast back to camp with Kierra in your arms," I sigh,

"She passed out from dehydration. I had no idea what was happening though," Aiden nods and I sigh, "We should go to breakfast, dude."

I see Kierra walking with Allison, Kaylee, and Gracie and run up to them,

"Hey guys,"

"Hey," Kierra,

"Hey." Gracie,

"Hey!" Kaylee. I chuckle at how they all the same word with different meaning behind it, Allison just waves and doesn't say anything,
_

In the barn all eyes were on me and Kierra. It was dead silent except for the few whispers we couldn't make out and the quiet sobbing of the girls who missed Liz.

"They are staring at us..." she whispers in her teeth to me, I nod when Kaylee walks over,

"What's happening?" Kaylee says loudly and I fight the urge to face palm myself,

Kierra responds with: "No clue," Grey walks over,

"Hey guys." He looks at Kierra "You good?" She nods and smiles and I just look at her thoughtfully, how can she remain so calm with all these eyes on her, I'm on the verge of a panic attack.
_

IM FREAKING OUT! Everyone is staring at us because of these stupid rumors, I can see it in their eyes they are waiting for me and Kaylee to break out into a fight or for me and Colin to just start making out. They are waiting for something. Anything. And I don't know what to do.

"Kaylee, Colin. Please follow me outside for a moment." I say quietly and urge them with my eyes to do what I say,

"Why are we out here?" Kaylee asks. Oh Kaylee, always oblivious.

"So people think that you and I fought yesterday and that's why I ended up unconscious."

"What?"

"What?" Colin looks incredulous, "I would never let it get that far. What would you two even be fighting about?" I look at Colin and then at Kaylee, they are both staring at me waiting for an answer,

"You." They both stay silent, I look over at the barn and see everyone quickly look away. Human eyes, always so thirsty for some kind of Tea.

"I'm not that shallow!" Kaylee says and I nod,

"I know, but now everyone thinks that and we have to come up with some sort of way to let them know that's not what happened." Colin and Kaylee nod, agreeing with me,

"So what should we do?"

"Okay Kaylee, just don't act like you hate me." She laughs,

"I have never acted like I hate you."

"Good then it should be easy to make everyone believe so." We all laugh and I look at Colin, he may be laughing but I can see the worry in his eyes.

The breakfast bell rings interrupting our moment of laughter.
_

"Any camper concerns?" Madison asks and I look around, Allison speaks up,

"Some of the female campers have been excessively hugging the boy CITs..."

"Yes well, as you all know, Liz chose to leave yesterday. She decided that it would be a good idea for her to leave for your sake and so that she could get better. The campers may be sad about this and it is alright to give them a hug and stuff but please, don't give them any ideas." Colin raises his hand,

"Yesterday..." he clears his throat, "I was trying to be nice, and Missy and Sofia were all sad so I offered to take them with me on a canoe ride, during said ride they both asked me out four times each... and asked me to take my shirt off." I hold back every bit of laughter I possibly have and nearly choke on my own spit, I had no idea this happened.

stupid water and hydration I look at him and he looks back at the me I smile at him, still on the verge of laughter; he just glares at me.

That makes me wanna laugh harder... I hope he knows that.

Maddison goes on about... I don't even know. I wasn't really listening.

_

"Okay you guys can go out for tidy turtles." I walk out of the room and stand on the porch waiting for Colin,

"Four times?" I ask with my eyebrow raised. He shakes his head and looks at me as if he just saw a ghost,

"You don't understand. They wouldn't stop!" I laugh, this is when I let all my laughter out, this is just down right hilarious,

"Why didn't you tell me yesterday?"

"Oh ya know, being unconscious and all I didn't think you'd be able to sympathize much. But I suppose being conscious you don't have much sympathy either way." I shove him and he just turns his back towards me,

"Oh come on! Don't do that!" He still doesn't look at me, I groan.

"What can I do to make it up to you?"

"Promise me a date."

"What?"

"After camp ends, I get to take you to the movies or something sometime." I laugh a little shaking my head,

"Fine, after camp ends you can take me out on a date." He looks at me and I roll my eyes, "I promise." He smiles and puts his arm around me, I look around feeling awkward that someone is going to see, but then I realize I don't care what other people think, so I lean my head into his shoulder.
_

After lunch we went and sat outside for a bit, Kaylee, Gracie, Grey and I are all just sitting and talking when they say it's time to go to FOB (Flat in Back) time.

We all walk back to our cabins together like we always do when Colin stops me,

"You should come out to the field... during FOB." He says slowly as if he is trying to figure out what to say while he is saying it,

"Of course. I'll try." I smile and go to ask whether or not I can go outside,
_

"Yeah you can go, just don't go far from the waterfront cabins." I nod look at Gracie,

"Do you wanna come?"

"Nah I'm just gonna nap..." I nod and walk out of the cabin, I walk on the bridge towards the other cabins and see Colin talking to George outside of green cabin, I smile at Colin but just go walk towards the middle of the field and sit there and think.

I think about this week, and I think about what will happen next week. I think about Gracie. And Kaylee, and Grey and Allison.

I feel someone sit next to me, I look over and it's Colin.

"Hey..."

"Hey,"

"Watchya doin'?" He asks and I shrug,

"Thinkin'" he nods and lays down next to me, he both just lay there looking up at the sky when I feel him touch my hand. I quickly look over at him and he is looking at me with his stupid gorgeous smile.

I just chuckle to myself and look up at the sky.

"Kierra? Colin?" I hear Ellie ask and I let go of Colin's hand and sit up quick, I clear my throat,

"Yes?" We say at the same time, I look down at Colin who is still laying down and smirking. I wanna kick him.

"We are throwing a party for the CITs later and I was wondering what snacks you guys wanted," I can sense her trying not to ask why we were holding hands,

"Party?" I jump up and become eye level with her, she nods her head, I think for a long time "Well... Oreos, Salt and Vinegar chips and Sprite." My three favorite junk foods. I hear Colin laugh and resist the urge to punch him,

"Colin what would you like?"

"Whatever she said." Ellie just nods and rolls her eyes while she walks away. I sit back down and slap Colin's chest, he groans, "What did I do?" He semi-shouts, I just laugh and slap him again, he has the same reaction.

"You're to irresistible," I say and he flashed me one of his stupid smirks,

"I know." I slap him again and laugh some more, I lay back down and we just sit there in silence smiling like stupid idiots looking at the sky.

"Okay everyone! Get your swim-suites on and get ready for wacky water games!" Elizabeth shouts and I just groan, I walk back to my cabin and put on my swimsuit. It's a one piece but it's still kinda revealing and makes me uncomfortable to wear out of the water.

Yesterday was wacky Wednesday at camp, where everyone dresses up in their wackiest outfits and goes to dinner like that.

Unfortunately I was in a 'lack of water coma' but they didn't do the water games because of what happened with Liz.

Everyone was just too sad.

So they postponed it to today,(thank god because I haven't gone in the water once this week and today is the first actual nice day all week) and I was kind of excited for this.

Gracie, Kaylee and I all walk over to the waterfront and stand there waiting for some kind of instructions.

There was a few counselors pulling canoes into the shallow part of the swimming area and Mark and Toni get in one of the canoes and two girl counselors get into the other one.

They explain that one of us, the boys or the girls, have to fill up our canoe the fastest and whoever does first wins,

"Boys on this side girls on the other ," We go on the side with Mark and Toni and I begrudgingly go in as well (I have a weird phobia of the bottom of lakes)

"Three..." I look over at Colin and see he is smirking at me, I chuckle and do my best smirk back,

"Two...." I get ready to kick his ass, I stick my tongue out at him and he does it back almost immediately.

"One..." I look down and don't look back up at him,

"Go!" I splash, I splash inside the stupid canoe like there is no tomorrow, because if I don't win it will seriously hurt my pride and Colin will never let me live it down.

_

We won, we won the canoe contest with flying colors. Next was the noodle thing which was also boys vs girls which the boy won, unfortunately.

Colin smiles at me and I fight the urge to flip him off. I just smile back coldly and he rolls his eyes, still smiling.

Next was CITs vs Staff. There was like nearly twenty of us and maybe eight staff. The staff all get in a circle and talk about their plan, so do we.

"Okay!" Beth shouts, "We have to keep the noodles on the other side," we all nod and chant 'C.I.T.'! over and over again until the game starts, us CITs we play the right way. Meanwhile the staff, also known as adults ran away.

Yeah. They ran away.

We all look at each other confused as we just finish putting all the noodles on the other side,

"Are they running away?"

"Should we put the noodles on the other side of the other rope?" (the rope that separates the swimming area from the rest of the lake,) I just shrug my shoulders and sit down in the water, splashing around like a two year old.

I go under and come back up.

_

I button up as we prepare for the 'dance'. Where the guys kind of dress up and the girls get into dresses and they do different kinds of dances. I begin to walk up to the nukem court (which the field in front of court is where the dance thing is) and hear laughing and stuff around me.

I try to listen for Kierra's signature laugh but haven't pinpointed it yet.

"Hey have you guys seen Kierra and her little group of friends?" I walk up to Aiden and George and ask, they both shake their heads but moments later they both freeze,

"wha-" I turn around and see Kierra, her hair is braided and she is wearing this dress that is black and a V-neck, she has her crocs on like always,

"Woah dude..." Aiden says and I just nod,

"I know," I walk up to Kierra,

"Hey..."

"Hey."

"Okay everyone! Get your partners and be ready to dance!" Kara shouts from the front of the field.

"Would you like to dance?" I ask with a cocky grin and a slight bow, she laughs, I look up and see her frown and look at Gracie,

"It's fine my stomach hurts anyways," Kierra nods and grabs my hand,

"I would love to," she smiles and music begins to play,

_

I sit there and laugh as Kierra makes a fool of herself dancing like no one is watching with Colin,

"No one to dance with?" Aiden asks as he walks over and I purse my lips and shake my head,

"mine is over there," I point over at Kierra who is laughing and dancing with Colin, Aiden takes my hand and drags me to the dance floor, "No!" I laugh, "My stomach hurts," he is dancing and spinning me around and I completely forget about the pain in my stomach,

_

We begin to do dancing games, one is called Knights, Horses and Cavaliers. Basically the gist of the game was you danced around until they either called Knights, Horses or cavaliers. Knights you had to get down on the ground and your partner would have to like step on you, Horses you had to get onto the back of your partner and Cavaliers they had to hold you bridal style.

We almost win too but Kaylee and one of the little girls won,

"Good job," I congratulate my friend she smiles breathing heavily,

"Thanks, you too." she looks back and forth between me and Colin and then walks away. I shrug.

We all go inside for a little bit and then the staff tells everyone but CITs to go back to their cabins.

_

About an hour and a half later all of the Oreos and Starbursts are gone, there's few chips left and the sprite is almost gone as well. I was supposed to grab an Oreo for Gracie but I forgot, we are all sugar high and acting stupid except for Colin who is laying in the back on the couch.

I'm sitting on a couch in front of him goofing off and in the corner of my eye I see him sit up.

I laugh at something Aiden said and forget where I am on the couch, I fall back and screech a little, preparing to hit the ground.

I stop falling... but nothing hurts... I feel around and feel muscles. Muscles. I open my eyes and see that I am in Colins hands.

"Shit! I'm sorry I didn't think I was gonna fall and-" he kisses me.

Wait what?

Wait what?

Wait what? I open my eyes and pull away slightly and see everyone looking at us, my eyes widen and I clear my throat.

"Umm..." I'm gonna puke. I speed walk out of the barn trying not to turn bright red until I go out there.

_

What the fuck did I just do?

I just kissed her in front of all of the CITs. She runs out and I look around at everyone who is staring at me still. George is the first one to speak,

"Did you just..?" I clear my throat, I don't know whether or not I should go out there, Allison seems to have read my mind and nods her head towards the door which I am assuming means get the fuck out there. I stand up and walk out of the barn.

"Kierra?" I shout walking out of the barn and look around, after walking completely around the barn; I see Kierra sitting on the wall with her arm wrapped around her knees and her head within them.

I try to think of something to say,

"Do you remember, our first full day of camp, I had walked up to you guys and I heard Allison talking about how she rejected me last year?" she nods her head and lifts up her head,

"When Allison first told me that I was scared to like you," I tilt my head kind of understanding, I don't have the greatest rep when it comes to girls, "But then you kissed me the first time, yesterday, and I got even more scared." she takes in a deep shaky breath, "Life sucks sometimes, ya know. And hearing that story, and watching you flirt with other girls it made it hard to Trust you." I nod, I don't make it easy... I don't make it easy on purpose...

We stop talking until the others come out. We just sat there, my arm around her staring into the nothingness the woods looked like at the moment.

__________
I change POV's a lot, I know, I'm sorry (not really)

So how did you feel about Gracie's POV? Did you find it interesting? Should I do more of her friends POV's?

Question of the day: what's your all time favorite song?

It's hard to chose but rn mine is I'm Ready by AJR. Listen to it, it's funny.

Anyways, love y'all!
