Tanya's outfit
Courtney's outfit
Chelsea's outfit
"Okay people, gather around, it's time to put you together in pairs for the trip", Mrs Hensley said.
"Pairs? Well that's new", Mason said.
Here we were leaving for the trip early in the morning. Will looked horrible, almost like he hadn't slept in days. He didn't even look at Tanya the entire time, who was too busy posting her instagram story.
Courtney was with Elijah, who I heard had apparently joined our school.
Elijah kept on staring at me and biting his lip, making me extremely uncomfortable as Courtney smirked.
Chelsea stood there with 4 suitcases convincing the teachers that she needed to take all of them.
Kenzie and Daniel weren't going this year because apparently Kenzie was taking Daniel to her family gathering at her grandmother's house.
And then there was me, trying focus on my boyfriend instead of Will. I had not been able to sleep the entire night, Chelsea and Courtney had added me to another group, badmouthing me once again about being a whore and this time I made cuts on my arms, but back to another topic, all I thought about was that I had cheated on Mason. With his best friend!!
Should I not tell Mason?
Or should I tell him?
How would that conversation go?
Hey Mason, your best friend left hickeys all over me when he was drunk and I didn't hate it! Haha how weird is that right? And to make it weirder I think I have feelings for him!! Hilarious right?
There are so many ways for that to go horribly wrong.
Mason had his arms wrapped around me because I said I was cold. I like Will? Instead of this guy? I have a horrible taste in men.
"Courtney and Elijah, Will and Chelsea, Tanya and Max and since Harper and Mason look very comfortable together, Harper and Mason! Well those are your pairs!", Mrs Hensley winked at me and Mason, making Mason chuckle and me blush furiously.
"The rules are, you must stay with your partner at all times, in every challenge they will be your partners, you must return to the confines by atleast 8, the woods get dangerous at night and we don't want to find any intestines",
Will let out a groan at that, "That sounds boring",
"Don't worry baby", Chelsea purred, "The curfew is for ordinary people, not people like us, we can stay out for as long as we want and do whatever we want", she said, her voice dripping with seduction as Will just rolled his eyes at her.
"And who said that Ms Abbott?", Mrs Hensley asked with her arms folded across her chest.
"We're priveleged enough to break the rules", Chelsea snorted.
"I don't think so, no matter how rich you,are, you're still a student and you're supposed to obey the rules", Mrs Hensley's eyes were burning with fury as she kept a calm tone.
"You don't get to stop me, if you do I'll have my daddy get you fired",Chelsea smirked.
"Ms Abbot, even if you get me fired, I have enough money in my savings from the time your parents paid me to change your grades which will last me 4 lifetimes",
Chelsea's face burned red as Mrs Hensley seemed very pleased with herself.
"On second thought, Mason and Will switch places",
Oh God no. Oh my fucking god no.
Will
"She was hiccup* drunk as a horse", I took another swig of vodka, "She thought I was Mason".
"She thought I was Mason fucking Stone", I took another long swig from my bottle, "Because he's so much better than me, the golden boy, the one who treats a girl like a princess". I growled.
"Will, you're drunk, you don't know what you're saying", she tried to convince me.
"She kissed me Harper", fresh tears started streaming out of my eyes, "I've always wanted our first kiss to be perfect, but after everything hiccup* she said, I love you Mason, not Will! but Mason!", I chugged down the entire bottle of vodka.
"Will you have to calm down", She said as took the bottle from my hand and kept it on the dresser. She rushed to the bathroom and returned with a first aid kit.
She sat down in front of me while I was sitting cross legged on the bed. She was on my knees so I had a view of her chest. She cleaned up the blood with some antiseptic and returned the first aid kit to where it was as she returned with a bandage and carefully put it over the bleeding wound.
That's when I pulled her onto my lap so she was straddling me, my hands resting on her hips.
Her innocent brown eyes stared back into mine into mine.
The scene shifted.
I traced her jawline with my thumb, travelling down to her neck while pushing away a part of her hair perched on her shoulder, revealing a red bruise on her neck.
"What happened here?", I brushed the spot, making her let out a hiss.
"I burned myself while curling my hair", she said.
I pulled her closer as she gasped.
I gently pressed my lips to the burn, brushing them to the smooth skin on her neck as she let out a content sigh.
"It won't hurt anymore", I whispered in her ear before I rested my hand on her left collarbone, "Why is your heart beating so fast Harper?",
"You're too close t-to me", she stuttered.
"Then why doesn't Mason make you stutter?", I wrapped my hands tightly around her waist.
Suddenly I had my lips pressed to her neck as they travelled down, kissing and sucking on her delicious skin. Her hands tugged on my hair as she moaned at the sensation.
I flipped her over on to the bed, with me on top of her. My mouth went to her stomach, making gasp as my tongue glided over her skin.
I pulled down the straps of the fuzzy top she was wearing, exposing her tanned shoulders and peppering them with kisses all over.
"Will", she whispered as I left a trail of hickeys down her neck.
Her skin smelled like vanilla which was such as intoxicating scent that it pulled me to her like a magnet.
Her hands travelled up and down my body as her fingertips traced every bulge.
I allowed my hands to explore every inch of her curvy figure. They travelled up to her chest and I sucked on the sensitive skin on her chest making her arch her back and moan louder.
"Will stop", she mumbled.
I stopped and brought my face to hers. Her chest was heaving and she was panting for breath.
"I can't do this Will", she said, sitting up, her legs quivering under my touch, "I have a boyfriend",
Suddenly the bus jolted forward, waking me up and interrupting my dream. I looked over at Harper, who being the smart person she was had put on her seatbelt unlike me. Drool was on the corner of her mouth as she let out tiny snores.
I ran my hands through my hair in frustration. Why am I having dreams about Harper? My best friend's girlfriend? What's wrong with you Will!? Get it together!
I looked over at Harper again about to interrupt her nap to irritate her when I noticed something that made my blood run cold.
A burn. On her neck. Exactly like the one I had seen in my dream.
I chuckled to myself. No way. It must've been coincidential. It's not possible. Did I really do that? What had happened last night?
Was that just a dream? Or a memory?
Back to Our Girl ð
I yawned and stretched like a stiff little cat as the teachers announced for us to get off the bus.
That's when I saw Will staring at me. And I mean full on creepy stare, none of that Hollywood shit.
"Hey Will, um honey you look like a psycho murderer", I said with a nervous smile.
Will gave me a confused look and then gave me a slight nod before getting up and leaving the bus.
I shuddered as I remembered his Friday the 13th stare again before I got off the bus with all my stuff.
The house we were living in was truly lavish, I was surprised that our school had that budget. The house had 5 rooms, one room for the girls, another for the boys and another for the teachers and staff, the other two rooms served no purpose so we were told to stay out of it.
The backyard had a pool with a bunch of cute ass floaties and a hot tub which I intended to spend my entire evening in.
We walked in to our rooms which had about 10 beds. I took the bed far away from Tanya and her cronies. I wanted to have a normal trip with my boyfriend, I did not want any drama to ruin this trip.
We were given a few pair challenges which weren't very hard and Will was awfully quiet. I decided to ignore his mood swings and tried to keep myself busy for the day until night finally came along.
"Okay people, now it's time for the last challenge of the day", Mrs Hensley announced as we gathered around the bonfire where she was standing.
"For this challenge, you and your partner must venture into the woods, we have set up a flag for each pair and whoever finds their flag and makes it back to the bonfire first, wins the challenge and is free from cleaning duties, however, the team that comes last is going to be washing the dishes tonight and cleaning the pool tomorrow night before we leave",
Everyone groaned at that.
That pool was beyond nasty when we had arrived. I saw a dead fly floating in it and that was the breaking point for me. I had literally climbed over Will while cowering in fear. The entire class stared at me like I was insane. Unlike Will who barely faltered instead just rolled his eyes at how stupid I was.
Everyone started gathering up with their partners as I searched for Will, only to find him eerily staring into the woods, deep in thought.
I swear he acts like more of a psycho with every passing second.
I poked his shoulder and he looked at me with a blank expression.
"Hey partner, ya ready for some adventure?!", I said cheerfully adding some jazz hands at adventure.
Will just nodded as he started walking towards the woods with his hands in his pockets as I ran after him with my short stubby legs.
We walked quietly in the forest with each of us holding the flashlights from our phones.
The silence was unbearably awkward and my mind was clearly not in any sort of control.
My eyes kept on shifting to Will, scrutinizing every inch of him, his eyes that always crinkled up when he smiled, his soft and messy raven black hair that I ran my hands through and his lips, soft and firm all over my neck and-HARPER CHARLOTTE JONES HAVE SOME DIGNITY WOMAN!
"Will are you mad at me?", I asked.
He gave me the same blank look and shook his head.
"Then why aren't you talking to me?",
He shrugged.
"Come on Will! Say something! We're in the land of mother nature, surrounded by flowers and soil and insects and-",
I yelped as I tripped and fell right into a thorn bush.
"And thorns", I hissed in pain as I moved away, the thorns had poked into my knees and legs, leaving bloody spots all over them.
"And now we know that mother nature hates you", Will chuckled, bending down to inspect my wounds.
"This is all your fault", I grumbled.
"Sure it is, I was the one who told you twirl and dance around thorn bushes right?", he said sarcastically.
"It was in an effort to cheer you up!", I protested.
"Failed effort", he pointed out.
"Still, I demand compensation!"
"If that's what gets you to shut up, sure",
"You have to carry me", I gave him the puppy dog eyes.
"When I have back problems as an old man, I'll tell everyone you were responsible for it", he sighed as he picked me up bridal style.
I won't lie. I could walk. But I am a very lazy person and I don't want to walk just to find a stupid flag.
I gave him a cheeky grin as he rolled his eyes at me.
We continued going through the forest like that but soon I got bored.
"Five thousand bottles of milk on the wall, Five thousand bottles of milk.
Take one down, pass it around Four thousand nine hundred and ninety bottles of milk on the wall", I sang, mumbling the words and bobbing my head.
Will looked at me as if I was bonkers.
"What the fuck was that?!", He exclaimed.
"It's a song me, Kat and Bubba sing on long trips if we get bored and also to irritate mom",
"In this case, are you trying to irritate me?",
"What can I say? It's instinctive", I replied.
Will rolled his eyes and focused on the path.
I ran my hands through the hair resting on his forehead.
"You have nice hair, I wish I got a pixie cut you know? Long hair is annoying", I huffed as I played with my hair, twirling it around my finger.
Will ignored me, as always.
Suddenly something caught my eye, on a tree branch, a small red triangular flag waving in the wind.
"Will I found our flag!", I exclaimed.
"Harper, you're very close to my ear and please don't yell like that again", Will pleased.
"Sorry but there's our flag", I pointed at it.
"But how are we supposed to get it?", he looked at the branch that was higher than we could reach.
"How about you lift me on the branch?", I suggested, "Can you do that?",
"These abs aren't for nothing Harp", he replied.
Will put me down on the ground and knelt down beside me.
"Sit on my shoulders", he instructed.
I was skeptical but I still did as he said.
Clutching my legs with his hands he slowly lifted me off the ground.
I tried to focus on getting the flag than on Will's hands against my bare skin.
I held onto the branch and lifted myself onto it.
Grabbing the flag, I told Will to get me down because I really didn't like the height I was on.
When I jumped down my shirt got stuck onto the branch, as it fell to the other side of the tree.
"Yes!", I exclaimed as I landed in Will's arms.
Finally, this thing is over! Now I can go back to the cabin and sleep. No Will drama! No boyfriend drama! Yayy!
That's when I noticed Will staring at me again.
Not at me this time, but at my arms.
Oh bloody hell.
I was about to dash for my shirt before Will could make out anything but he grabbed me by the wrist and pulled me back.
"You said you don't do it anymore", his voice was dangerously low, he sounded so angry I gulped in fear.
"I-I-I d-didn't m-", I tried to say something.
"Why did you do it again?", he asked.
I didn't answer. I couldn't tell him. I won't tell him.
I freed my hand from his grip and was about to get my shirt when he pulled me back, slamming my back against the tree, pinning me in place with his hands around my wrists.
"Harper", he said firmly.
I shook my head as tears pricked my eyes and found their way down my cheek.
"Tell me who it was Harper", he said.
"No".
Will's grip on my wrists loosened, he brought his hands to my cheeks, wiping away the tears.
"Please, I'm begging you", he took my face in his hands, his eyes gazing into mine, filled with worry and concern. For me.
"I can't Will", I replied, keeping my guard up.
Will's hands slipped away from my cheeks as I felt the absence of his warm touch.
"Let's get back", he picked up my shirt from the ground and wrapped it around me, his eyes not meeting mine anymore.
He silently started walking away with his hands in his pockets.
Something was unsettling about this. Will wasn't the kind to watch from the sidelines and do nothing.
I know he wasn't.
Sorry for the late update.
Don't kill me please!
I haven't gotten enough sleep lately and my insomnia has started to kick in along with my laziness.
I also have a very bad shoulder ache and it hurts like a motherfucker everytime I write for too long.
But let's see what Will does.
What do you think he'll do?
