Daisy's POV"Help.... Something's pulling me down, I can't swim that well!" I scream and internally high-five myself for sounding so believable.I splash harder like something was really dragging me down."Daisy! Hold-on, I'm coming" Hunter shouts panicked.He frantically tries to take off his shirt but decides against it all together and jumps in the river. At this, I just couldn't stop the laughter that had been bubbling in my throat. I laugh hard and uncontrollably.Hunter surfaces from the water in confusion and when what I did finally settles in his brain, he sends me a look hot enough to fry Antarctica to crisp and cold enough to make Africa snow.He stalks towards me and all the humor in the current situation vanishes."Look, I w-was just getting back at you for b-being a jerk. No hard feelings.........." I start to say moving back and waving both my hands to stop him from approaching.What am I doing? I shouldn't be scared of him.I stand straight and try to muster some courag
Daisy's POV"Oh where are my manners, my name is Kyle" He says and offers me a boyish smile.I keep staring at him wearily and he moves his eyes to my hand and raises his eyebrow. It was then that I noticed he had extended his hand for a shake and he moves it closer urging me to shake his hand.I reluctantly take it and then snatch my hand away from him. I'm not comfortable around strangers, it's always so awkward.He raises an eyebrow and sits down beside me leaning his back against the tree looking completely relaxed. Care-free and nonchalant seem to be the definition of this boy.I've never seen him around in school but then again, I always tend to be oblivious to things around me or maybe....."Stop looking at me like you've seen a ghost, I've been in your school since the beginning of the year" He says breaking my train of thoughts."Sorry" I apologize not knowing if I was apologizing for staring at him or for not knowing him."It's okay. So what's got you so mad?" He asks.Maybe
Hunter's POVSweat breaks out on my skin and I glance down to where Daisy was gripping me. She's asleep and yet she's driving me crazy. I had carried her from the floor to the bed because she was cold but that plan seems to have backfired now."Daisy stop doing th.........arghhhhh" I shout when she squeezes me.Her eyes snap open and she looks down then immediately turns her head to face me, horror and mortification evident on her face.I grow hard and her eyes widen more and she snatches her hands away. Well, what did she expect? A girl was touching me; a beautiful one at that and she expects my body to remain as still as a tree stump?"I-I'm sorr... I-I didn't m-mean....This is n-not....I m-mean..........Ughh, It wasn't me!" She stutters and then finally exclaims out.I open my mouth to talk but she interrupts me."I mean it w-was me but not me me, I-It's more like unconscious me. I was dreaming" She hastily adds.I try to tell her that she should stop her rant but...."Not that I w
Daisy's POVAs I walk away from Hunter, I place my hand over my chest to try and make my heart stop beating faster. I liked being in Hunter's arms, I liked him comforting me, a little too much for my liking. Back there, he made me really believe that everything would be okay even though I know that nothing will ever be able to fill the absence my mother left when she died.My mother was the sweetest and kindest woman that ever existed. She lit up the room with her smile and draws everyone in with her kindness. My father was so in love with my mother that when she died, I don't think he ever fully recovered; though he doesn't show it. He always tries to stay strong for me and he never even glanced at any other female with interest.If only I had listened............If only I had been faster.......If only I had been quicker.......... None of this would have happened. I run my hand through my hair to clear my head. It's no use having regrets now.My mind involuntarily goes back to when
Hunter's POV"Hello Hunter" The Eve chick says smiling coyly and taking her time to shake my hands. I'm not stupid; I know when a chick is blatantly flirting with me and I normally would flirt back but I can't help but notice everything that was too little and too much about her. Like how her hair is too long, not the perfect length like Daisy's, how she's not as tall as Daisy, How her hair is not blonde like Daisy, How she doesn't smell of citrus like Daisy, In conclusion, she just isn't Daisy.She turns to Daisy with a barely noticeable smirk on her face."Hi Daisy, It's a pleasure to see you again" She says extending her hands for a shake.Huh? What does she mean by again?Do they know each other?I glance at Daisy to see her face in shock like she has just seen a ghost. She quickly recovers and tries to smile but fails and then take Eve's hand shake offer."I'm confused. What do you mean by again? Have you guys met before?" Kyle (who I hate) asks as confused as everyone.Eve lets
Hunter's POVI freeze in my steps as the words Taylor just said kept ringing in my head.I love you.I've always did.I turn to face her and I see all my friends and Daisy's friends staring at Taylor in shock. I move my gaze to Taylor's face and for once since we've started high school, I see a hint of the old Taylor peeking through. That still does not assuage the shock her words have coursed through me though.She loves me? Taylor loves me?Why would she love me? I've never done anything to encourage her to love me. In fact, I've never done anything to encourage anyone to have feelings for me. As much as I sleep around, I can't hurt a girl like that. All the girls I sleep with know the deal.And what does she mean by she always has?"Taylor I don't......." I start to say but she cuts me off."Hunter, please listen to me, I've always loved you since we were small but then......." She pauses to sniff."But then, we got to the age where you started to notice girls and I thought that m
Daisy's POVHunter sighs tiredly and runs his hand over his face. He thenstarts to follow Tiffany but then turns back as if he forgot something only todrag me after him by my arm. Our friends follow automatically exchanging knowing looks.What have they all been up to?My eyes widen when we get to the scene and I find myself questioning Taylor's mental health."It's over!!! I don't have anything to live for anymore. He doesn't want me and it's all because of that slut. What has he asked for that I didn't give to hi...........don't you dare come near me!" Taylor pauses her sob story to warn off people that were trying to approach her and collect the knife that she was currently holding to her throat.Her eyes find Hunter who looked equal parts scared for her and also annoyed as hell. Slowly, her gaze moves down and narrows on where Hunter was still holding me by my wrist and I immediately make a move to snatch my hand away from Hunter's. I don't want to be responsible for a person's h
Daisy's POVWhy does that sound so bad?I continue packing and a few minutes later, I hear the footstep of someone entering the tent. I turn to see that that person was Hunter. I examine his neat clothes and appearance; he didn't look like someone who spent the night with a woman.King jumps up from my bed and runs towards Hunter with his tail wagging happily. He lets out tiny barks and he tries to jump as high as he can to get Hunter's attention.Hunter bends down beside him and scratches King's belly before he moves his eyes to me making our gazes meet. I break the stare and continue packing while mumbling an awkward 'good morning' to him with a stray tear falling from my right eye but I hastily wipe it away.I just can't get the image of him kissing Taylor out of my head.He greets me back and goes to the side of his tent packing his own bag. Silence reigns for an hour before he grunts in what seems to be frustration and comes to the side of my bed pulling me up by my waist."You k
