Chapter 19 // "PDA, PDA, PDA"
"Get off your lazy asses. We're not here to sip tea and sing around the campfire; this is a chance for you to live a few days away from your stupid banana phones"
"Coach, sir it's apple phones"
"Daniel!" Coach practically screams.
"Yes sir"
"Why don't you lead the way if you're so smart"
"Yes sir" Daniel repeats walking off in to the direction of a bunch of trees. A few people follow him, but other's are smarter.
"DANIEL!" Our coach booms again.
I think it's because Daniel got a fright but either way it's funny that my brother walks in to a low branch then he falls back in to a bunch of dead leaves.
"Now the rest of you losers follow me" Coach points in the opposite direction to where Daniel was walking.
Emily and I walk over to where Elliott is helping my brother up. I pick a few crunched up leaves out of his hair.
We follow the rest of the people from our class as we trudge up the steep hill.
"My shorts are going halfway up my arse" I complain.
"Take them off"
Daniel hits Elliott on the back of the head for that comment.
"Nice try Elliott"
I still can't forget what happened a few nights back, how Elliott saved me from that random guy, then the next day he acted oblivious to the fact that anything had happened at all.
And Daniel, well he eventually got over it. He gave me a good lecture but then went back to being my annoying brother. Though neither of them mentioned how exactly they knew the boy with the striking green eyes.
The heat around me is really getting to my head, as my skull feels like it's pounding from all this walking.
"Did you hear that Cress?" Emily asks holding her ear like she's listening out for something.
"What, the sound of the birds or the sound of Cress's loud breathing" Elliott jokes grabbing a bunch of leaves, scrunching them up in his hand and blowing the tiny pieces at me.
"Like water" Alec replies for Emily.
A sudden mutter runs through the crowd, there's a waterfall up ahead.
Before I can say anything Elliott has already chucked his huge bag at me and is running like a lunatic with Daniel catching up to him, I glance over and see Aidan is now holding Daniel's bag with a scowl on his face.
I drop the heavy bag in to Alec's arms.
"Grayson, Dawson get back here!" Coach booms.
I hear a faint whoop and a slash of water. Eventually Alec, Emily and I come up to the waterfall.
In a matter of seconds everyone is splashing in the water.
Some people are smart enough to be wearing their swimsuits underneath their clothes and others are jumping in fully clothed.
I stand on the edge of the the deck and remove my top to reveal my bikini top. A wolf whistle comes from behind me and I put my middle finger up in their direction.
Beside me Alec lets out a sigh of relief as he drops the bags, he tugs off his t-shirt and I take it as an opportunity to lightly bump him with my hip.
He unattractively falls into the deep water with his shirt hanging off his head. I'm standing there laughing at him, when I get the feeling that someone is behind me.
I turn around to see my soaking wet brother standing there with a mischievous grin on his face. "Don't you dare Daniel! I will strangle you if you even try..."
I'm expecting to hit the water with a splash but instead I fall on top of a rock.
"Ow Cress that hurt" Elliott whines in agony.
I can barely here the sound of Elliott's voice because my whole body is frozen in shock. Quite literally frozen.
I push my now black looking hair out my face and swim towards Emily who is tying her hair out of her face.
Someone stands on the deck looking around, her ginger hair is neatly placed in two French braids and her sky blue bikini is making all the boys go wild.
She lifts her arms as if she's about to bow then Winter runs off the wooden deck and flips in to the water.
Yeh I can totally do that.
A group of us make it to some nearby rocks that are damp with water. I gently sit on top of one, the cold water feels nice as the sun is blazing in the sky.
All of a sudden Elliott's head bobs up from beneath the water in front of Emily and I. His brown hair is patted against his forehead and looks jet black and there are tiny trickles of water dribbling down his face.
He's shirtless and the beaming sun is making the water droplets gleam. He has his usual devilish smirk placed on his face.
"I'll race you back to the deck" He states.
"I'd rather just stay here, wouldn't want to embarrass you" I wink at him splashing my feet in his direction.
He grabs my ankles which makes a light blush rise up to my cheeks.
"How about we make a deal?" He raises a single eyebrow.
"I'm listening"
"If I win I get to sleep in your sleeping bag"
"And why would you want to sleep with me"
"Because I like body heat and you Crescent are smoking hot"
I sigh "And if I win?"
"You can kiss me"
I look at him wide eyed.
"You're getting all up and personal today, why would I want to kiss you? Is it because you want to get with the only virgin this forest"
He looks at me amused "You're a virgin"
Oh holy god, did I say that out loud? I feel my cheeks flush. The one person who doesn't need to know that is Elliott: the wominizer.
"Well yes... you know... it's normal... I've never gotten round to doing it... I haven't even had my first kis... "
I feel my blood rush to my cheeks, I did not just let that slip out. David Tennant I need your tardis right now.
"Oh this is class, not only are you a virgin but you've never..." I jump in to the water and place my hand over his mouth, his voice is so loud, my eyes look at him pleadingly.
"Can you not keep your fat gob shut?" I hiss, my embarrassment is making me want to drown myself.
He licks the inside of my hand.
"Eww" I groan wiping my hand against the rock.
"Usually girls enjoy it when I lick them, behind their ear, down their chest, on there..."
I wince blocking out his next few words.
"Elliott" I flirt, swimming even closer to him. I'm going to beat him no matter what not for the kiss, just for the fun of it, or so I'm telling myself.
I place my hand on his chest to distract him, but I don't think that's a good idea anymore. He's too tempting.
Tempting, I meant ugly, I'm sure I did.
"Just because you're the quarterback., doesn't mean you can beat me"
I swiftly turn away from him, I quickly run a hand through my wet hair and I try to swim as fast as I can.
I can hear the water rushing around me every time I come up for air, nearly there; the water is going through my nose and in my eyes but I ignore it all.
When I surprisingly reach the deck first, I look around and don't see him.
That's when I'm pulled underwater. I start gurgling on the water and close my eyes at the initial shock, something is pulling on my ankle.
My head is heavy as I feel myself go deeper, then my ankle is freed and I resurface spluttering out water.
"You god damn bas..."
Elliott's hair is matte against his forehead, and he's grinning at me like a wild animal.
"No swearing, if you might not know coach is literally on top of us" He points upwards and I realise that somehow we've drifted underneath the deck. Loud thuds come from above us.
"This would be a really good place to have a smoking hot make out session," Elliott points out.
I open my mouth to say something sarcastic or witty back to him, instead I shake my head, there's no way of getting through to this horny boy.
I swim towards the edge of the deck and place my arms up. I come to terms with how high this deck actually is but still and push some strength in to my arms and hoist myself up. No luck.
Beside me Elliott uses his strong, muscled and toned arms to gracefully push himself up. He looks down at me shaking the water out his hair, while it sprays me in the face.
"Aw Cressy do you need a hand?" He coos down at me more than willingly bending down to put out his hand.
I glare up at him and attempt to reach for his grip; he pulls his hand away from me, smirking.
"But what will you do for me, I know I already one the bet, but what else could you do for me?"
"Grayson you air headed jock, help me up"
"That's not nice cress, and don't you forget I'm not just any football player I'm the Quarterback"
"Does then mean you have to play at the back of the field cause you're so shit"
"And if you don't help me up I'll go to coach and ask him to search through you're bags, I wonder what you have in there" I tell him glaring in to his eyes, his ocean eyes narrow back at me, knowing exactly what I was talking about.
"You wouldn't"
"Oh but Elliott, I would. If you don't stop pissing me off"
He lets down his hand.
I cunningly smile back at him "Hope I'm not too heavy for your weak muscles" I tighten my grip on his fist, he easily lifts me through the air and I quickly catch a grip of the top of the deck.
"Babe I'm..."
It isn't my fault as to what happens. The deck is so slippy. As I'm standing on my own two feet, I bend forwards towards Elliott for support. As soon as my weight leans against his he loses his balance and he topples backwards. Obviously I end up falling along with him, I shut my eyes as tight as I can, knowing the impact will hurt like a bitch.
That is until a pair of hands lace around my waist taking most of the impact. I snap my eyes open in shock only to realise our faces are mere inches from each other. His sharp breaths breeze against my face.
His expression mirrors mine, a look of shock and embarrassment. All I can do is lie on top of him and come to terms with the fact that his hands are gripping down on my waist so protectively.
And that everything down below is pressed against him. Everything.
So does the effect of water give guys a boner I think to myself because there is definitely something going on down there. My heart hammers in my chest and I know he can feel it.
I can't find the courage to pull myself up, and Elliott just grins at me.
"Can't get enough of me can you, you don't need to play the damsel in distress card to get all hot and close to me, all you need to do is ask"
"Elliott, stop it, you're the boy who can't keep his balance, now let me get up" I make a attempt to push myself up but his grip suddenly tightens around my waist and all my efforts to stand up are wasted as I fall flat back on to his muscular body.
Damn why does he have to be so hot. This situation would be a lot easier if he was ugly, at least then I would want to get off him, now I'm not so sure.
Damn it women get a hold of yourself.
"Elliott stop this, I'm soaking wet right now"
He brings his face so close to mine that I can't believe we aren't cheek to cheek. He seductively bites his lip and winks at me. He's obviously putting it on and probably trying to get some sort of attention.
"That's what she said but I promise I can..."
"PDA, PDA, PDA" Someone screams in alarm. A deep manly voice. At the sound of the loud booming voice Elliott and me scramble to our feet like two military soldiers.
"I WANT NO SMOKING, NO NUDITY AND NO MAKING BABIES DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR" Coach shouts.
My face is burning, and Elliott looks the same way. People have begun to crowd around us trying to see what all the commotion is about.
"This is not a lovey dovey vacation, you are here to pick up extra credit, or in some cases, here because you're a bunch of goodie two shoes who would do this for fun"
"Now pick up your stuff, this way we go" Coach points.
"But sir what about the people by the rocks" One girl points out.
"What will it matter if we lose a few student, let them find their own way"
*
Of course only coach could find a bright open area for the boys to do their football practice because they're training time is supposedly too 'valuable'. Coach even stole a ball from the school.
Jocks start to drop their bags and begin doing their stretches, whereas I drop my bag and use it as a pillow to rest my head on.
Some of the girls start ogling over the boy's muscles and others get up to do a cheerleading routine in the middle of the woods, this is down right insane.
I feel someone's presence behind me so I turn around to meet Alec's chocolate brown eyes.
"Hide me" He squeaks.
I laugh, "Why, shouldn't you be training?"
"Coach is in a brutal mood so he's going to have us playing vicious side games and I'm not in the mood for getting bruised up. He believes the harder we practice the less painful the finals will be"
"Don't you enjoy football?" Emily chirps in.
"Just watch"
"Elliott's team, Conner's team, Elliott's team, Conner's team Elliott's...WHERE IS ALEC?"
After 10 minutes of shouting a colourful range of vocabulary, Coach grumbles something about Alec being 'so dead' under his breath and goes back to making the teams.
"Shouldn't they be wearing some sort of gear or even a helmet?" I ask.
"Oh they should" Alec shakes his head.
"Dickson, Ryder you're up" I look up at Conner and Carter not understanding what they are doing, they're standing in front of each other like they're about to embrace one another, I furrow my eyebrows in confusion.
âThe whistle is blown and the two of them are physically tackling each other, hands on either shoulders pushing one another, Coach shouts something and they both stand straight giving each other a fist bump.
I look at Alec stunned is this what they really do, maybe this is why Daniel always came home groaning in pain and I'd always jump on him thinking he was trying to get of the chores.
Soon they are standing in a weird sort of formation ready to play in small teams. I get bored of watching them try to kill each other, so I unzip my bag to take out a giant bag of Haribo's.
I look at them in delight and swiftly rip open the packaging offering Alec and Emily some, except they couldn't touch the hearts, the hearts are always mine.
Coach calls a timeout, and a sweaty Elliott and Daniel jog over to us.
Daniel immediately grabs a handful of haribo's, avoiding the hearts.
Whereas Elliott snatches the bag off me, I immediately stand up, no one steals my haribos's. He grabs a specific few sweets, I look at his hand and realise it's filled with hearts. My hearts.
"Elliott Grayson you get back here with my heart" I shout but he's popping one after the other in to his mouth.
I storm up to him trying to grab the sweets but he lifts his hand up so high that there's no way I can reach it.
He grips a heart between his teeth and looks me directly in the eye, the corner of his eyes lift upwards like he's trying to hold back a laugh.
"There's one way you can get it back, and it involves using your tongue" He explains through his teeth raising his eyebrows in amusement.
"You know what leave them then, I hope you choke to death on them" I sigh sourly walking away.
"What is that how badly you don't want to kiss me" He scowls acting horrified.
"If you were the last person on this earth I wouldn't let my lips touch yours" I snarl, angry with him for stealing my sweets. Damn pig.
"Crescent don't make a promise you can't keep" He winks stuffing his face.
