ANMELDENI frown, “I don’t get it.”“What’s mine is yours, it means if any of us got a girl, we can share her and it won’t be a problem,” Adrian explained.“What? That is just disgusting.”“No it isn’t. It’s actually kind of fun.”“Fun that you are sharing the same girl? So if you have a girlfriend, you will share her with your friends?”He was silent as he thought about it, “actually, none of us has ever had a girlfriend so I don’t think it applies to relationships.”“I see, so he had wanted to…” I couldn’t say it out but seeing him smile, told me he got it.He got closer and tucked my hair behind my ear, that’s the second time he was doing that and I don’t know if I want him to do it again. “Don’t worry, I’m not going to do anything to you unless you want me to.”I gulped, he spoke in such a gentle voice that I almost believed him, yes, almost, “why is it that I don’t trust you then?”“You don’t want to, I am not what you think I am, Molly.”That was the first time I have heard him say my na
I turned to see Adrian, he was standing a few feet from me, he was still dressed in his day’s wear so I figured he mustn’t have turned in earlier. “You vanished before I could return, I thought it strange because I didn’t see you pass us so I figured you must be here.” He started walking towards me, “saying thank you is not your specialty, I guess.”I sighed and turned back to the sea, “why would you say that?”“Why would you run away before I could finish with him? And before you could say that if I had waited a few more minutes, that you would have taken care of it yourself, I want you to know that I had been watching you two for a while before I intervened. And also, you looked pretty scared.”Something he said made me look at him, “you have been watching us?”“Yes. The thing is, I saw him follow you and I knew he wouldn’t take it easy on you. He still hasn’t forgotten the things you said to him on your first day.” He was standing beside me now and we both watched the sea.“He dese
My heart missed a bit when I saw him, in all thinking, he was the last person I expected to see. I had hoped it was Adrian, even right now, his annoying self would be pretty much accepted. I tried not to give him the satisfaction he wanted so I sucked in a deep breath and raised my head high, really thankful for the bright moon, at least one can easily be spotted without much effort. “Why in the world will I be afraid and even if I am, who am I to be afraid of, you?”Kevin smiled his sinuous smile, “you know, you are not supposed to be running your mouth like that, you really should be wary of what I can do to you.”“Hmph, you can’t do more than a dead rat, Kevin, and I have nothing to be wary of.”“Really? Look around you vicious tongue, is the middle of the night and everybody is asleep, who do you think is going to save you from anything I’m going to do to you?” He asked, taking a step closer to me.I wanted to retreat but I stopped myself, “I don’t need saving, I can take very goo
After dinner, everybody was allowed to turn in and for the big day tomorrow which our hosts have refused to let us in on, saying that we will all find out tomorrow. Adrian didn’t approach me again throughout the dinner time and I figured he was still angry, bah, who cares? Certainly not me.I saw him talking to Stacy all through the dinner time and laughing out loud, yeah whatever, I actually liked the peace and quiet around me. For once since Friday, I have gotten rid of him. Hopefully it will be forever.I tugged myself into my sleeping bag and thought about calling my parents, but when I thought about what I was going to say when they asked about where I am or wish to talk with Max, I decided against it. Oh Max, we haven’t spoken today after that morning, I picked up my phone and hesitated before sighing and dialing his number. To my surprise, he picked on the first ring, “hey Max, um, how are you?”“I’m good,” he replied in his usual way.“Did you get my note?”“The one about your
Building a tent with Adrian wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, it was actually kind of fun and Christy joined in on one of his jokes. I know what you want me to say but I’m not going to say it, don’t even hope for it. I am not enjoying his company, he is the worst guy ever on earth, he plays with girls feelings, okay?Adrian had set up his tent next to mine and guess who else followed him? Stacy and her girls. According to her, Adrian is hers and she will stay wherever he stays. He didn’t say anything about that and when she asked him to help her, he told her to meet someone else and that he was busy. Yep, I gave him a pointer for that.We were later divided into three groups, Adrian, Christy, Stacy and her girls, Arianna and Mavis, and I were in the same group as some other students. We were in charge of firewood. Right now, we are rummaging through the forest searching for dry woods and we are to meet back at the field at sunset. We divided ourselves into twos and of course I c
We all walked through the bushes and my legs were getting blisters, not really but I will like to believe they were. The host lady stopped between two trees which their branches were hugging, “here we are, welcome to Ranch Maroons camping ground.”Ranch Maroons? Seriously, they couldn’t think of a better name? None of the students said anything and it got kind of awkward for her. Her husband or boyfriend, whichever he is, rushed and opened the branches that revealed a nice big opening, now that was amazing. “Okay kids, let’s get this started,” Ms. Sanchez said and we all followed her.“Gather around everyone,” she called us together in the middle of the field, “we all know why we are here. This is Mr. and Mrs. Gabriel and Acacia Monroe, they are our hosts and will help us in the basic surviving skills. Let’s hear from them shall we?”Gabriel Monroe came up to address us but I couldn’t get myself to listen, I could hear some guys whispering behind me and when I turned, I saw Kevin, he
