So here you go, a long ass chapter to make up for the lack of updates. To be honest it's not as exciting but look out for hints (0_0). Onwards my brave children!

The orders were given by Lieutenant as to how we would run the course, each set of groups of two would run the course against a timer. Completing the course would give you a pass mark but of course the faster teams get the higher marks. I didn't know if I wanted to be an overachiever. I was nervous but then I remember that if I fail gym my entire system of credits would be corrupted, jeopardizing my future, so I rolled up my sleeves and tied my hair into a tight high ponytail. Shit just got real.

"Listen Braxton, I know we have our differences but can we set that aside for ten minutes?"

Cole was busy stretching and it seemed he was also just as competitive as Jordan and I are with games. I crossed my fingers hoping for the best.

"Yeah, I just hope your smoker's lungs doesn't slow us down." He snarled. I rolled my eyes and he cracked a big grin. I guess we were both on the same page with the importance of our grade.

"My lungs are fine, if anything that's weighing us down its your big ass ego- you know what I'm not even going to speak to you unless I absolutely need to." I needed to calm myself. Talking back to him isn't going to achieve anything. I turned my attention back to Lieutenant.

"Right, so starting off you're going to have to tiger crawl under this net, if you touch the net you lose marks." Lieutenant explained while Ms Humble and Mr Stroker stood on the side lines. I groaned when I saw the underneath was filled with wet mud. That meant we'd have muddy clothes dragging us down the entire course.

Like my life doesn't drag my down already.

"Once you're out of that, you step onto this platform and balance your way to the other side while walking on a cable tire, if you fall over you start again until you get it." Okay but why is this entire obstacle course filled with mud? Really original guys.

"Then through the tires, up the climbing wall onto the other side , twenty push ups on the floor. Enter into the snake pit. Once you're out you climb up onto the last platform, at the end one member will have to do a trust fall off the platform. Now learners don't drop your partner as it will result in an incompletion of the course."

Hold the fuck up. I'm not doing any trust falls with Cole Braxton. I'm going to end up in the hospital by the end of this. Although that would mean I wouldn't have to go back home to mother.

That's actually a really sad thought Sky.

"Great, let's start. Any volunteers?"

Everyone kept quiet and I didn't blame them. Who in their right mind would want to go up there first when everyone was watching you carefully. It was so easy to screw up and I can't handle that type of pressure.

"We'll go, get this over and done with."

All the organs in my body felt like they popped out of its right places when I traced that voice back to Cole.

Is he insane?

"No, Braxton what are you doing?"I hissed but he ignored me and pulled me by my arm instead. I know I said I wouldn't talk to him unless necessarily but this is definitely one of those situations. I wasn't ready for this.

Goodbye world.

Sky you dramatic bitch, relax.

"Okay, okay! Stop dragging me I'm coming." I huffed and roughly snatched my hand from his. He didn't show any emotion towards it, he just wanted to get this over with.

On one hand if I finish first I can make it back to the cabins to try and pull off my schemes. On the other, I'm going to embarrass myself on this course so badly. Worth it?

"Get in position, we're starting you off in three, two, one. Go!" The whistle was harshly blown and Cole and I dashed forward to the first obstacle. Cole was first to go under the net followed by myself. The ground was sticky and weighed you down. I scrunched nose at the smell and sight of the mud but quickly put it past me as I tiger crawled across the net, successfully not touching it.

The next part was the only thing I knew I could accomplish. Walking and balancing on a thin rope was something I used to practice as a child. I knew it would come in handy one day. I'm lying I just really knew how to waste time but nonetheless.

We stepped onto the platform both covered in sticky mud from head to toe. Cole looks at the cable skeptically and I didn't have time to waste. I stretched my arms out to balance myself and stepped on the tight wire. Once I was on I basically power walked across it. Cole starred at me shocked that I hadn't fell and I gestured for him to hurry the fuck up.

He stepped on shakily and I knew this was going to be a while. Cole walked a couple steps before falling off and into more mud. He started cussing when he tried again but to no avail. Yeah and he wanted to go first. I'm sure he regrets it because I could feel the eyes of our classmates burning a hole at the back of my head.

The adrenaline was pumping in my veins and I knew time was going by.

"Braxton, stretch your arms out and don't focus on the wire." I shout from the other end of the platform. He nodded and took a deep breath. His long arms stretched out horizontally as he stepped on, mud was dripping off all parts of his body making it more difficult. He had somehow managed to get to the middle of the rope but got shaky again.

"Braxton! Don't look at the rope, look at me. If I can do it, you can do it." His green eyes met mine and the look of determination burned within them. Was it bad that I found it attractive ? I know he's been an ass to me my whole life but how the fuck is someone's face so perfect?

Don't look at me like that, it's not like I like him as a person. I'm just saying those are some fine damn genes in his family tree.

Cole was almost by my platform, he was still shaky and by instinct I reached out to grab his hand and pulled him onto the platform. There was no time for me to register anything before we were off to the tire pathway. Cole and I stepped in and out of the tires perfectly making it to the next part.

The wall wasn't that high but I was shaky and lacked upper body strength. I started climbing up and Cole was already pulling himself up ready to climb down.

He stopped when he saw my struggle and put out his hand. I pushed back all the thoughts how of many girls he's touched with it.

Eww std's .

No time for that, I grabbed his hand and my insides churned. Cole managed to somehow pull me up and over the wall. We both climbed down as fast as we could. Now for the twenty push ups that I loathed.

The muddy clothes were already so heavy as well as my body weight, not to mention my boobs. Least to say I struggled to do my girl push ups.

I stopped at the snake pit and hesitated. I was so clastuphobic. Cole got the message that he needed to go in first so he went on his knees. I held my laughter in when I realized it actually was Opposite Day, Cole being on his knees and all.

Damn that boy has a fine ass.

I followed behind him and once we entered my eyes had to adjust to the darkness. I couldn't see much but the figure in front of my moving. I was so glad that he went in first because I wouldn't have known which way to go.

"Fuck this is a dead end, Sky reverse back into the tunnel."

"I'm sorry what? I can't even see where I am!" The fear was evident in my voice and the lack of oxygen was getting to me. Breath.

"Sky, move! We're running out of time." He yelled and my head felt light. I felt a panic attack coming. I couldn't move a muscle, I was terribly afraid and it was as if the walls were enclosing in on me. I chocked for air before I felted a soft hand on my face.

"Calm down, we'll be out of here soon. Now I'm going to move you okay?" His voice was tender and unusual, I had never seen this side towards him before. I barely nodded and he grabbed my shoulders to guide me backwards.

Now successfully in front of me, Cole felt his way in the darkness. He ordered me to grab onto his leg when I fell behind and soon enough we saw the light. I could have jumped for joy, for a second there I thought I was leaving this world and my video games behind. Do you think they had video games in heaven ? That would be heaven if it did, oh wait.

Usain Bolt had nothing on me when I reached the end of that pit. I don't even run that fast for food to be honest.

"You get on the platform you can't take my weight and concussions aren't fun." I groaned when I realized he was right. I'm sorry but who in their right mind would do a trust fall with someone that has been a pain in my ass since you can remember?

I stepped up on the platform shakily and he gave me that same look I gave him earlier, to hurry the fuck up.

"I can't do it! It's called a trust fall for a reason!" I yelped from the higher ground.

"I'll catch you I promise! Just do it please we're wasting time! " he yelled and the crowd on the other end of the course was chanting. Assholes.

"I swear to God if you drop me I will chop your dick off and hide it in Narnia and then goodluck with strap-on's also-"

"Sky just fall!" He cut me off while running his hand frustratedly through his hair. I held back my Chicken Little joke about the sky falling. I don't think it would be appreciated right now.

I turned around and crossed my hands over my chest, symbolizing my death of course and leaned back.

Oh my god I can't do this. What's the worst that could happen though? I could crack open my skull and end everything right now.

"Jump before I tell everyone your little secret."

Son of a biscuit.

I instantly fell back and the impact rippled through my body but I was met by two toned arms.

Thank the lord, I wasn't ready to die in front of everyone.

"Well done Ms Zedler and Mr Braxton! You've set the record for the day, you may proceed to wander around the camp grounds. Just don't start any forest fires."

We both didn't say anything until I realized I was still in his arms. I awkwardly coughed and he roughly put me on the ground.

"Don't get used to this Zedler, that was just for our mark." He spat and started walking away.

"Still don't get why you hate me but okay." I say nonchalantly and he stops in his track.

"You don't try and play victim, you have no idea what it's like to have the one thing that you love the most ripped away from you, the one thing that protected you. All these years and you still don't fucking get it!" He got dangerously close, I had to take a few steps back. I tried to stay calm but I could feel the fiery bit inside of me trying to come out.

"I didn't take anything from you, I'm not selfish like you. You don't know how much you have fucked up my life!" I shouted in his face. Everyone was distracted by the next team that was running the course so I didn't give a damn about a crowd appearing. Like teenagers are so stupid, they want to be in the front row to witness a fight but get flustered when asked to sit in the front row of the class. Also why is that enjoyable? If you see an argument getting bad, why not try and stop it?

Not the point right now but I'm just really angry.

"I could say the same for you! Just forget it, you will understand one day."

I don't understand why people don't tell you exactly what you've done wrong. It's frustrating honestly he acts like I killed his dog.

Shit did I? I would hate me too. I think I would remember killing a dog.

I shake my head and bring myself back to reality. While this anger was inside of me I stormed to my room still covered in mud. I sling my backpack over my shoulder and go looking for Cole. I found him entering a cabin which I assumed was his own. I made my way up to him before he slammed the door shut in my face.

"What do you want?" He says exasperated by my presence.

"Sorry, just that Julie was looking for you in a hurry, something about the rumors of your STD's and stuff." His eyes bulged and I had to try my hardest to keep a straight face. He let out an inhuman sound and turned his heels back to the obstacle course where everyone was present.

I couldn't think of anything else so I had to make it quick before he realizes Julie wasn't even looking for him.

I slipped into the cabin that looked identical to my own and started snooping around. There were three sets of belongings that I had to go through to find Cole's. Luck was on my side when I picked up a duffel bag that had his name written on it. Zipping it open I dug in for his lotion and shampoo and then replaced it with my own concoction.

Next I went to the bathroom and unscrewed the head of the shower. I placed a heap of powdered cool aid on it and screwed it back on.

Ohh yeah, this is how Sky Zedler gets back at people, the lame way.

I quietly slipped out of his cabin and went back to my own to wash and scrape the grime off my body.

After I changed, I decided to go on an adventure around the camp site and found a lake at the bottom. The whole atmosphere was quite and serene. I couldn't help but sit down and enjoy some alone time.

I pulled out my box of cigarettes and lit one, it made me reflect back on my life. From the emotional scars to the physical ones as I took long drags of the 'cancer stick'.

After I was done, my entire mood had flipped. I was so much more relaxed and stress free that I actually skipped back to my cabin. I passed Cole's cabin and I heard screaming.

"SON OF A BITCH WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!" I burst out laughing when he ran out of his cabin with just a towel. Cole was covered in a sticky mixture of cool aid and green dye was dripping from his hair. He stopped when he saw me and gave me the most dirtiest look he could muster.

"Smile! Say I have no penis!" I say pulling out my phone to capture this beautiful moment.

"Sky don't be a bitch, delete that right now!" He was furious with the vein on his forehead popping out but I couldn't take him seriously with the green hair.

"You are what you eat." I say to myself and shrug unaffected by his words.

Holy shit did I just make a gay joke in front of Cole Braxton. It's like I have a death wish but fortunately he was pissed off to the maximum that he didn't hear anything. Cole stormed over to me and tried to snatch the phone from me but I quickly sent it to Jordan as back up. While sending it Cole's big hands grab the screen and the next thing I see is my entire contact list being ticked. I stopped struggling and watched him participate in his own prank. Idiot.

When he realized I stopped trying he looks down at the phone and realizes the damage done.

"I'm going to skin you alive! You're such a fuck up honestly. You don't even deserve her." He flung my phone back at me and stormed into his neighbor cabin, probably to shower. I still didn't know what he meant but at least I'm gathering small pieces of information. So far all I know is that I took someone from him that was important and special. The person was a female.

Holy shit what if it's Molly?

But then again Cole and her only started being a team after Cole admitted to hating me.
I couldn't knock her off the list because there are pieces missing and so far she was my safest bet. This runs so much deeper and I'm making it a priority to get to the bottom of this.

One thing is for sure though, seeing Cole on the other end of the stick really added some color in my life. I mean seeing Avery in a bra was a good highlight too but this is on a slightly higher level.

I decided to get back to my cabin and have a nap because apparently tomorrow is going to be more of an intense workout.

I wouldn't have slept if I only I knew my life would change that very next day.

Sooo, what are your theories ? I'd love to hear them.

Also what's your favorite color? Mine is black, like my soul. Fun fact my soul would taste like lemon and charcoal.
