"Wanna go get drunk?" Sofia whisper-yell at 1 in the morning, snapping me out from trying to sleep. I turn to her to see her staring at me from her bed through the dim lamp on the drawer between us.
"No..." I look at her suspiciously as she sit upright from her bed.
"A bunch of us are gathering by the lake to hang out and drink," she explain with a smile.
"You did hear Mrs. Johnson telling us to go sleep because we have to wake up early tomorrow, right?" I ask.
"So what? This is our last senior bonding trip. After this, we'll all go our own separate ways. We need to make the most of it." She argue.
I sit upright from my bed, "Wait, where did you guys get alcohol?" Mrs. Johnson and Mr. Stevens definitely checked our bags before we got on the bus.
She shrug, "I don't know. Some of the guys managed to snuck in beers." I raise my brows in questioning.
I can hear footsteps outside our room as they try to walk quietly down the stairs. They're going to get in a hell lot of trouble if Mrs. Johnson wakes up and catch them.
"Let's go." Sofia gets out from her bed and walk over to me. She grab my arm and attempt to pull me out of bed.
"No thanks. I rather sleep."
"Nope. You're coming with me." She finally manage to pull me out of bed.
I groan and give in, "Fine." I'm already wide awake. Might as well go for a few minutes.
She silently cheer for convincing me to go. I shake my head and grab my jacket to wear on top of my tank top while Sofia puts on her cardigan.
"Let's go." I follow Sofia out the door quietly. We bumped into some girls on our way out and we all managed to quietly exit the cabin and down to a different place of the lake I've never seen till now.
Somehow Sofia have disappeared from my side. There's a campfire a few feet away from the water, shedding light on the whole place. Some people are surrounding it to keep warm. Some are by the lake, drinking and hanging out with their friends. Some people are still making their way here.
That moment, a song starts to play. I look around to find the source and it's a guy playing it from his speaker. The song was loud only to the point where everyone here could hear it. Not loud enough to wake up the teachers.
This is actually really nice. It's refreshing.
A smile make its way to my face as my eyes travel around the lake, watching my fellow classmates enjoy this beautiful night together.
"Take one." Melissa hand me a beer.
"No, thank you."
"Up to you." She walks away.
By the way, where is Lucas? We haven't talked since he confessed to me. After we hugged, he left me and I haven't seen him since.
I search around for Lucas but didn't find him. Is he at the cabin?
"You looking for Lucas?" Sofia asks, approaching from behind. I nod my head yes.
"He told me to tell you to meet him in the shed behind the cabin." She smiles and take a sip of her beer. I remember seeing a shed behind our cabins.
"Thanks." I thank her and walk away to the shed.
I walk behind the cabin and see a small shed a few feet away with a dim light over the door. I walk towards it and open the door. I stand still, hesitating if I should go inside. It's so dark that I can't see anything in there.
"Lucas?" I call out into the dark.
No answer.
"Lucas!" I call again but there's nothing but silence. Is he even in there at all?
Curious, I step in more away from the dim light. I feel a tug at my arm and I'm suddenly pulled to the side in the dark.
Out of the blue, someone's lips are pressed against mine. My eyes widen in shock and my hands immediately press against their chest, pushing the person away.
I quickly take out my phone and turn on the flash light mode to reveal Corbin. I touch my lip, shocked that Corbin had taken advantage of me.
"You." I stare at him in anger while he stares back with guilt.
Angry, I turn to walk away but Corbin grab my arm and pull me back. My hand immediately goes up and I slap him before he could say anything. I can feel the sting on my hand from slapping him too hard.
"Are you happy now?" He tricked me and took advantage. Sofia lied to me. I was terrified. What if it was someone else?
I look at Corbin for a response but he just stare at me with an apologetic look. I scoff in disbelief and walk away back to the cabin, trying to hold back my tears as the kiss repeats over and over again in my head.
I like him, I'll admit it. I have for a while now since I've gotten to know him. That's the reason why I said no to Lucas. But I don't know if I can trust him. He's been a bully for years. He doesn't know love. What if he hurts me? He can't change.
Oh crap, I like Corbin Foxx.
CORBIN'S POV
"How'd it go?" Sofia approach me the minute I walk back to the lake. Doesn't she have someone else's business to stick her nose in?
"I blew it." I sigh as my eyes wonder around for alcohol.
"How?" She question.
"I kissed her and then she slapped me."
Her eyes widen to the point where it's going to pop out any minute now.
"Why would you do that?" She raise her voice at me. I shrug only to earn a slap to the arm from her.
Why did I do that?
"I just really wanted to kiss her at that moment," I answer.
"Are you crazy? I told you to talk to her, not to kiss her out of nowhere. I set up everything perfectly so you two could be alone and talk about your feelings. Why would you ruin that with a kiss?" I roll my eyes at her as she rambled on about her 'perfectly thought out plan'.
Unknowingly, my hand travel up to my cheek where she slapped me. It still stings. She sure knows how to slap. It hurts like a bitch.
God I can't get that look out of my head. The look she gave me after slapping me. She looked at me with complete disgust and anger. I knew what I did was wrong and I can't help but feel guilty and regret.
I should've said something to her. I should've apologized instead of staring at her like a clueless jerk.
Dammit!
"... at least she slapped you." Sofia finish rambling.
I did deserve that slap.
