Audrey watched Tahlia walk away with the other guy, feeling like she got way too lucky, but turned back to Tyson, shaking his hand, “Audrey. Very nice to meet you.” She smiled, not caring if Tyson wasn’t the type to immediately want to make out, the one good thing about her, was how patient she was, and how determined she could be. She’d have fun with Tyson, doing whatever, and maybe eventually they would. “Soooo, seems we both lost our scavenger partners,” She looked over her shoulder as the other two strode off. “Guess that means game over. Want to go berry picking?” She teased, though had no plans to actually go, even if he said yes.


Darius turned and looked towards Tyson, watching him be all cordial with the other chick, before he followed after Tahlia.

“Well, there’s lots of things we could do that’s a lot more fun than berry picking,” Audrey smirked, mischief in her eyes as she started walking along the lake, figuring if he wanted to not be alone, he’d follow. “There’s always going on a hike, maybe seeing if we can sneak snacks out of the cafeteria, making out back at the cabins, or sneaking off this camp and into town.” She raised an eyebrow at him, wondering just how far he’d go for fun, she felt like she covered the basics of something normal and something you could get in trouble for.

Darius followed the girl down the path, taking note of where it was in case, he found another chick who’d want to get dirty with him. He nodded his approval at the place, though deciding he’d bring a blanket to cover the ground. He stopped next to Tahlia, snaking a hand around her waist, and pulling her against him. “I have to say, the view is even better than I was promised.” He chuckled, though he wasn’t looking at the view of the lake, he was looking at Tahlia. He definitely didn’t mind the lake as a view either.

Audrey didn’t expect to be in the lake till she was ready to swim if that. She was more than likely to tan on the sandy beach the camp had near the main area. She did not expect to be falling into the water, caused by Tyson. She gasped, taking in a deep breath of air when she surfaced. “Wow… You are clumsy.” she pointed out, chuckling a little, finding it less boring now, even if she was soaking wet.

Darius returned her smirk with one of his own before leaning down and brushing his lips against hers. He liked to set the mood, liked to take his time, he just needed a girl who appreciated that and not want a relationship. “Don’t worry, you wont fall in love.” He teased before placing his lips on hers.

Audrey wiped the water from her face, grateful for wearing waterproof makeup, though had done it mostly in case she was super sweaty, not falling in the lake. “Don’t worry about it, cooled me off.” she joked, taking his hand, and letting him pull her to a standing position.

Darius hoped she was telling the truth, not wanting to spoil this if she were to start having feelings. He was hoping to have a ton of summer flings to distract him. Camp was pretty much the time that his father didn’t care what he did with his time, even if he spent most of it making out. He wrapped his other arm around her waist, pressing her against him as he deepened the kiss.

Audrey watched with furrowed eyes as he plucked something slimy from her head. She grimaced, almost wanting to puke at the sight, and the smell of whatever he had just removed from her head. “Ew, disgusting.” She wasn’t sure she wanted to swim in this late after all.

(Should we stop these two? Fade to black? Return to the other two?)

Even if it were just weeds, it felt disgusting to Audrey. She shivered, crossing her arms over her chest as she made her way back to shore, wondering which side was better to stand on to avoid Tyson pulling her into the water should he trip again. She smiled when he complimented her, noticing he seemed to feel slightly awkward as if he wasn’t used to acting like prince charming. “I must say the same about you.” She smirked, not having any problems with hitting on a guy she thought was hot.

Audrey couldn’t stop her lips from curling higher when he seemed embarrassed that she’d called him cute, as if he didn’t get that often. She didn’t understand how girls didn’t just say what they were feeling, he was hot, that’s how she felt. She blinked a few times when he said if she was getting cold they should head back, “I’m not cold,” she frowned, wondering if he was trying to get rid of her, at least he was being nice about it. “What I don’t like is the thought of being touched by that weed or whatever it was again.” She shivered once more at the image in her head, stepping further away from the lake, feeling the sturdy ground underneath her.

“I’m perfectly fine not swimming in… That.” Audrey eyed the lake from the side once more, deciding whatever was living in there, could stay there. She smirked, “do you tell people they have something between their teeth too?” She asked, wondering if he was always this nice to people, and had a feeling he was. She admired that, wondering how nice she came across, though there were times she just used people and moved on.

“I think I’ll be fine tanning on the so-called beach,” Audrey already had several bikinis ready for such an occasion and couldn’t wait to try out the new one she got. She laughed when he said it was rude not to say anything. “What if it’s someone you don’t like? Or do you not hate anyone?” She asked, feeling comfortable around him, deciding even if he didn’t want to make out with her, he was a pretty good guy to have around. She wouldn’t mind making him a friend.

Audrey shrugged her shoulders, “I take a nap, play on my phone, talk with friends.” She found tanning fun for the little details like that. It was when she got the best gossip at her last school when most of the girls skipped specific classes and sunbathed on the roof instead. She raised an eyebrow when he admitted he hated people, which she felt you wouldn’t be human if you didn’t. She laughed when he said he might have missed something to someone he didn’t like. “Alright, I like you. You’re funny.” She laughed again, knowing she was definitely going to keep him as a friend.

“Well, sounds like your brother is missing out,” Audrey instantly wondered if his brother was older or younger, but felt a little weird about asking that immediately. She raised an eyebrow when he mentioned how he was the cloud. “Well, guess I got the sunshine version of you.” She wondered though, if he was just being nice right now, but she didn’t think people changed that easily.

“Awww. He sounds adorable,” Audrey teased, though was glad he solved the mystery for her about whether she should be on the lookout for a hot older brother. “Are you actually mean? You don’t seem like it.” She was sure he was just acting like he was actually a mean person, because if he was, he wouldn’t have helped her up from the lake, taken the weed out of her hair, or even be walking next to her. Granted, he could just be polite, but Audrey wasn’t buying it.

“What little sibling isn’t obnoxious.” Audrey pointed out, feeling like Victoria could get under her skin by being annoying, though she felt like it was the opposite for the two of them. She annoyed Victoria for sure, not acting properly, drinking, smoking, and just enjoying life instead of constantly worrying about appearances. She slowly nodded his head when he explained he wasn’t technically mean, “But you can be mean if you can’t finish these priorities.” She stated instead of asked, because it was the only thing that made sense.

Audrey made a face at being told he had to keep up grades and play certain sports. “For what reason?” She asked, though guessing it was the same reason Victoria didn’t act like her. She could already see how their dad convinced her she needed to have straight As and come across as a good citizen. That used to work on her, but she learned long before high school that she didn’t need validation from others. “I say have fun, do what you want to. Unless that is to get straight As.” She laughed, knowing there were some people that did enjoy that, but it seemed like too much work.
