I wake up with Zac's head on my shoulder and I immediately push him off.

"The fuck?" he groans.

"You fell asleep," I state.

"You fell asleep first," he grumbles.

"So you purposely put your head on my shoulder," I glare at him.

"And I never asked you, why did you kiss me and what happend after that?" I ask.

"I left," is all he says before grabbing his earphones out his bag, taking out my earphones from his phone and handing them back to me, without making eye contact.

So he had his own headphones here this whole time?

He plugs his earphones in and closes his eyes.

"Fine, be a baby about it," I say and look out the window.

"We're here!" Someone shouts just when the bus comes to a halt.

We all scramble to get off of the bus and once everyone is off with their own luggage, we stand in front of the bus, facing Mr Forbs.

He quickly goes through all the ground rules and we're told to pair into groups and grab a tent per three people.

"Genders apart, please!" Is the last thing he says.

Sarah and I quickly grab a unopened boxed tent, before heading down to the camping site, which is a big piece of open grass field.

We quickly place our things down and start setting up our tent.

Edward, Jake and Zac set their tent a few feet away from ours and soon we all were set.

Since today is almost over, Mr Forbs gave us the rest of the day off, but we need to be in our tents at sundown.

"Let's go swimming," Jake suggests and we all agree.

After changing into our swimsuits, we head down the lake.

Jake and Edward first to jump in.

Sarah and I lay all of our towels down and she heads down to the lake.

Zac is still ignoring me, so I follow Sarah quickly.

He follows behind me, not making a move to walk next to me, just trailing behind like a slow puppy.

Rolling my eyes, I jog the rest of the way.

"Jump!" Edward shouts and Sarah jumps in.

I'm about to jump in, but then I'm pushed in from behind.

After returning to the surface of the water, I don't turn around to pay attention to Zac, instead I swim to where Sarah had jumped in.

She was near a wooden deck that stretched far into the water.

She sat on the edge, feet swinging in the water.

I pulled myself up the edge of the deck and sat next to her.

Edward whistles from a few feet away and I just laugh at him.

Zac smirks in my direction and all of a sudden I feel insecure.

I never used to wear bikinis, but Sarah convinced me and helped me build up my confidence, which I'm really greatful for.

I cover my stomach at Zac's gaze and look everywhere except at him.

"Isn't it so weird how our group is the only one at the lake?" I ask breaking the silence.

"Yeah it is, but its our day off, so who cares," she shrugs with a chuckle and dives back into the water.

We're both pretty athletically built, since I do boxing and she does dancing.

I guess everyone in our group is pretty athletic.

Shrugging I dive into the water and follow Sarah.

We soon join the guys and our feet doesn't touch the ground.

"It's getting pretty dark, but we can stay here for a bit," Jake says and we all nod.

The conversation continues, but I barely pay any attention.

All of a sudden I feel something by my leg.

My eyes widen, not sure what it is, I grab it and yank it down.

Suddenly Zac's whole head is under water and that's when I realize that I have his ankle in my hand and that's what I yanked down.

Oopsie?

He gasps for air when he returns to the surface.

This is where I swim

I immediately swim as quickly as I can, to the deck, which is currently the closets thing to me.

I hear him close behind me, but i pay no attention to him.

I pull myself up the deck just in time and make a run for it.

I run as fast as I can, and he's close behind.

He can't be faster than me, can he?

Just as that thought pops into my head, I'm tackled to the ground.

I let out a groan when we fell and as I'm locked in his arms.

"You bitch," he says through gritted teeth.

"You pushed me in the lake and you were playing footsie with me," I whine.

I try to wiggle out his grip, but my arms are held against my body and I can't kick, because he's layed on top of me.

"Zac, please get your ass off of me," I groan.

"Not untill you apologise," he says.

I turn my head around and stick my tongue out.

"What are you doing?" He asks in a weary tone.

"I'm going to lick your nose if you don't let go of me," I grin.

"That won't work," he scoffs.

I stick my tongue out again and lick the tip of his nose.

He just scrunched his nose in disgust.

"Nasty," he comments.

"Then let me go," I say.

When he stays silent I smirk.

"I'll lick your cheek then," I warn.

Just as I said, I go to lick his cheek, but he pulls back, giving me chance to wiggle out a bit.

When my arms are free, I push him off me and laugh as he stays in his previous position.

"Nasty," he says again.
