Carrie's P.O.V~~~~~~~~
We were waiting for them to come at the entrance of the woods. I just hope my plan worked.
Julie stands beside me and ask, "our plan must've worked right? Why aren't they coming...did they get into an argument and already walk off to the bon fire?" She blabbers.
"Shh Julie, I'm sure our plan have worked. Now just wait for them to arrive and stop worrying" I told her.
After waiting for few minutes, they arrive. Kia is clinging to Aiden while limping her way here and me and Julie run to her side with concern. On asking what happened, we get to know she sprained her leg nothing else and we let out a breath of relief, at least its not a massive injure. Seeing them, I think my plan did something deep inside them, I just hope they speak out their feelings for each other.
We together make our way to the bon fire and settle ourselves after setting the logs.
I was talking to Blake when Blake turned his head to his other side. I ask him what the matter is and he points at a sleeping Kia who is leaning on his shoulder. I laugh at Blake's uncomfortable look. He is a player and it is common for him but he doesn't know what to do if the girl is his friend and I find it cute.
I look at Aiden to see him eyeing both Dan and Jeremy with irritation and an idea comes up to my mind.
"Aiden" I call him and he looks at me. I point at Kia and he moves his eyes then looks at me confused saying a 'so' with raised eyebrows. I hit my forehead with my hand. Such a senseless boy
"Silly, take her to your tent and let her sleep" I tell him and he nods in understanding. I can see Julie eyeing from the side so I give her a cheeky grin and wink. She grins back in return and we watch Aiden take her to his tent. They are so cute together.
~~~~~~Kiara's P.O.V~~~~~~
According to what our professors told us, today is the day we go for swimming. Yay!
Right now everyone is having breakfast and are eager to finish their food and go for swimming. I too am eager but I'm not stuffing my face like them.
So, here we are in the tent changing into our swimsuit. Boys were already changed as they had to only wear their swim trunk. I changed into my swimsuit wearing a top and shorts over it.
"Oh girls you look sexy, I'm damn sure that Blake and Jake will not be able to keep their hands off you both." I commented once I looked at them in their bikini while they giggled blushing. They quickly wore a tank top and shorts over it and dragged me with them outside the tent. We met the boys in the bon fire area.
"Aha...my Carrie" Blake says while wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her close, "what are you hiding behind those clothes" he wiggles his eyebrows.
"Pervert" she mutters blushing while we laugh.
"We'll have to find that out buddy" Jake commented and Julie shook her head muttering something like 'Carrie is right they are complete perverts'
As soon as Mr. Scott finished giving instructions, we made our way to the swimming area. Well the people here call it the Yosemite hole- a secret swimming place and I was excited to see this so called secret swimming place.
(The video of Yosemite hole is in the beginning of the chapter^^)
_________________________
We reached the Yosemite hole and gosh it was amazing. I was awe struck at the scene. Carrie and Julie squealed beside me jumping up and down making us laugh.
Our professors weren't with us as they had other business after bringing us here giving us a map to return back.
"Let's hurry guys. We don't have whole day with us so better you come out of your tops and hop in" Blake said all the while looking at Carrie and she blushed.
The girls quickly got out of their tops and hopped in the water. I stayed back feeling a little nervous going their in bikini not that it was my first time. I used to swim in Florida but only with Lila and Jonah but here there's a whole lot of students and I'm scared to be judged again not because I have scars or something its only because I've heard a lot negative about myself and maybe I'm not so confident.
"Kia, hurry up" Carrie called breaking me out of my reverie. I looked at her and saw all of them waiting for me join them. I slowly started removing my clothes while they look at me not in a pervert way but still it made me blush. I caught Aiden staring at me with a smirk and I blushed hard, "come on Kia, hurry up!" Julie shouts.
I remove my last clothing revealing my bikini. I looked around to make sure no ones looking at me except my friends and make my way into the pool. "Kia, you look amazing" Daniel comments suddenly making me look down shyly. Where did he come from? I thought.
Everyone went back to swimming after few minutes except Aiden who came to me and whispered in my ear, "looking hot" I shivered at his tone and proximity. "Thanks" I whispered and swam to Carrie and Julie joining them in their water splash.
"Kia" Julie squealed and splashed water on me making me cough as I wasn't prepared for this. "You are gonna regret it Julie" I warn as I splash water on her continuously laughing at her attempts to escape while Carrie joined me in.
"Oh so you are planning against my baby huh?" Jake asks from behind us. "Stop distracting us or else our prey will escape" Carrie told him in mock seriousness. "Okay then" he said and swam beside Julie and started splashing water on us and we squealed. "Take that!" Julie shouted and joined Jake.
"Ha! Not so easy Julie" Blake commented from beside Carrie while she squealed and jumped into his arms. "Here is my rescue!" she shouted showing her tongue making me chuckle at her behaviour. "So...you gonna have couple war now?" I asked them,
"You are great Kia. Let's have a couple war and see which couple is strong" Jake informs but Carrie interrupts, "Kia, but you don't have one" she said and I was gonna reply when Blake said, "no worries she can do it with Aiden."
At that very moment Aiden appeared behind me.
"Called me?" He asks I was gonna say no but again Blake beat me to it saying, "yes bro, we want you to become Kia's partner in this couple war."
I interjected," no no there is no need, I'll just watch you all play," at this Aiden whispered in my ear, "is it because you won't be able to resist my sexiness?" He raised is brows.
I scoffed, "you're so full of yourself."Â He laughed and replied back, "oh...you're right. Who wouldn't want to have such body and no show off?" I scoffed again trying to avert my eyes from his abs. Even though I've seen it once but to be honest, the sight of his abs and muscles are irresistible.
"Come on, let's start the war," Julie shouts and grudgingly I join them with Aiden, not that I don't like him as we have become more close after my incident, it's just that he us so full of himself.
Blake counted till three and the war began. I was deciding whom to splash first when Carrie splashed the water on me and laughed while I coughed out the water that went into my mouth.
"You are so good at this" Aiden mocked me and I glared at him. "Stop making fun of me and help me fight them" I told him and he shrugged, "as you wish." I looked at him as instead of splashing water on them he was swimming towards me and before I know, I was in his arms screaming at the sudden action. Why is he holding me? I thought
"Put me down Aiden!!" I screamed wiggling in his arms causing him to hold me tight. The way his hands were on my bare thigh and back was distracting me as I've never been touched by a guy before. I screamed more to hide the blush that was now showing on my cheeks.
"Stop screaming, will you?" He asked me and I shook my head and he grinned. He kept on walking towards Carrie, Blake, Julie and Jake who were looking at us with amusement. "What are you doing?" I asked him but he just ignored me, I sighed. Why to waste energy when he won't listen to me so I stopped wiggling and waited for him to put me down.
This was not what I expected from him. He just threw me in the water when we reached our opponents. I screamed but got muffled as I got dropped into the water. I swam up to the surface coughing and when I saw Aiden there looking at me with a satisfactory smile, I glared at him, "why would you do that? IÂ could've drowned you Idiot" I screamed.
"You wanted me to fight them so I did it. Look, four of them are drenched." He said motioning with his eyes to look at them. They were indeed wet. "Was it necessary to drop me in the water to drown?" I asked as I crossed my arms around my chest and his gaze went there, pervert. "Answer me. Would you?"
"Oh stop blaming me. I know you can swim and you know you can swim then whom are you trying to fool?" He asked with a smirk. Uh...yeah, I'm being a little dramatic but its all because of him, bastard.
"So what? It doesn't mean that you can throw me into the water" I reasoned with him. Before he could reply Carrie chimed in, "you won, Yay! Let's forget this and enjoy. Don't ruin this fun you both."
"Okay fine" I agreed with her even though he started it but why to ruin other's fun. "Fine" Aiden also agrees and then we resume swimming and have fun, but this fun is short lived as Brittney shows up with her bimbos. "It seems like we've met after a long time, doesn't it?" She asks as Melissa and Audrey smirk and says 'yeah' at the same time.
"What do you want?" Aiden asks and she shrugs, "oh nothing, just missed you all" she replies looking all innocent but we all know that she is far from innocent.
"Well...we don't miss you and we don't want to talk to you so why don't you all scurry off?" Carrie chimes in. "Oh dear, you seem worked up. All okay?" Melissa asks with a smirk while Carrie scoffs.
"Come on guys, let's not waste our time talking to them" Jake says and we nod our head in agreement.
"Fine, go but only for now" Brittney says that and leaves us.
"That was very odd" I tell them and they nod their head in agreement.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was sitting on a rock relaxing while my friends were still in the water. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't see Aiden sneaking on me. "Ahh" I yelped as he came from behind me and shook me by the shoulders and started laughing.
"Hey!" I shout and his laughter increases and I pout. "Stop laughing Aiden, it wasn't funny." I was really scared but no he has to laugh his ass off. Ugh!! But seeing him laugh so genuinely, so carefree made me happy. He doesn't laugh like this, either he smirks or laughs with a mischievous glint.
"Uh...Kia, you there?" Aiden waves his hand in front of my face breaking my thoughts.
"Uh...um...yeah" I say awkwardly cause I was staring at him while lost in thought.
"Mhm...as you say" he says with a smirk and I frown,
"what do you mean?" I ask genuinely confused.
"Don't pretend like nothing, I know you were ogling my body" he says wiggling his brows and I turn my head to hide the blush and reply,
"uh-no, I wasn't."
"Sure you weren't" he leered and I hit his broad shoulders defending myself, "hey! I was not...okay?" He nods his head but I know he is laughing from inside. Why Kia why? I thought.
Now it was getting dark so we packed our stuff to go back to our tent. "We enjoyed a lot today" Carrie exclaimed and Julie chimed in, "yes, its been so long since I had fun."
"You can still have fun Julie. I'll show you real fun" Jake says and Blake joins,
"yes Carrie baby, once you have fun with me then you would always feel like having fun and would never leave my side."
I scrunch up my nose on hearing this while the girls blush deep red.
"Gosh, can you be more public about your wishes?" I ask them seriously and they shrug.
"Not our fault Kia. When you'll find your lover, you'll have the same wishes as us" Jake says and I look at them in disgust.
"Well... even then I'll not be so public" I tell them and Blake scoffs,
"we'll see."
Aiden was busy packing either ignoring our conversation or lost in packing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was dark outside, birds flying, going to their homes; wind blowing, swaying the trees in the process; the pale crescent moon shining like a silvery claw alone with thousands of stars twinkling around it. It was a rare thing to see as there was no such view in the town. I was so lost in observing the view that I didn't see Aiden coming and sitting beside me.
I only realised he was beside me when he asked me, "isn't it nice?" I looked at him confused,
"huh?"
"The view" he says pointing towards the night sky with his eyebrows. I nod
"Yeah! It is"
We sit there in silence; not the awkward silence, but a peaceful one and gaze at the millions of stars above us.
