A/N
Double update since I broke up from school🎈

                       •CARMEN•
I open my eyes softly before squinting them

I thought I picked the bed by the wall?

I smell like aftershave too which I find quite weird. Wiping my eyes as I sit up, I notice that my duffel bag isn't here and neither is Zoe's or Sienna's. I sat there confused but then when Carter came into view I realised that I was probably high and came here as a result of that.

Oh God I hope I didn't do or say anything embarrassing

"How you feeling?" He sits down

"That nap did me justice.... How long have I been out for?" I frown

"Well you missed todays activities but it's fine since they only used the jet ski, it's 6pm now" Carter replies

So essentially, eight hours

"Oh wow" I say shocked

He looks down for a moment, it's almost as if he has something to say, "What is it?"

He sighs, "Carmen...."

I narrow my eyes, "I think you should consider telling your family"

I frown "What, that I'm here?"

"They don't even know you're here?" He says with surprise

I shrug, "Aside from Enzo"

"So who the hell signed your permission slip?"

I shrug, "I did, it's not hard to forge"

Carter sighs again, "Ok I'm not even gonna say anything about that..... I just meant that maybe you should tell your family about you"

"I don't understand where this is going"

"Like... you and your struggles with food-

I scoff, "Are you out of your mind? No"

"Would that be so bad?-

"Yes it would actually"

"Why?"

"Because I don't want them to know" I say annoyed

"But they'd be able to help you"

"I don't need help"

"Yes you do Carmen-

"No I fucking don't"

"Well have you eaten an actual meal today?" Carter scoffs

"Why does that matter-

"Have you?"

"You know what? No I haven't, because I was too busy getting high" I get out of the bed

"That's my point C! You're damaging your body and you don't even realise it-

"Fuck you Carter!"

I take off his shirt before putting mine back on, I then pick up my shoes and he sighs. "Carmen-

"Why don't you go fuck Eliza and leave me alone"

He looks at me as if I just slapped him across the face, "Wow.... Just wow"

I untuck my hair from my shirt, "Fucking ass hole" I walk out, letting his cabin door swing shut behind me.

What an idiot

It's not dark yet but there's a campfire going on near the main house. Everyone's scattered around in their friend groups, I locate mine before sitting down with them. "You still high?" Sienna says amused
