Mal's POV

"Ocean blue eyes, looking in mine, i feel like I might, sink and drown and die..." 

Damn it Taylor Swift. 

I took out my headphones, because once again, Taylor Swift has gotten too specific with her genius songwriting for me. 

I threw the headphones out of anger. I wasn't entirely sure what I was angry about, but I knew I was. 

"My goodness, Mal." Morgana said. 

"UGH." I said. 

"Do you want them back?" She reached over the side of her bed to hand them to me. 

"Nope." 

"Are you sure?" 

"Yep." 

"Alright." She set them down next to her. 

I stared at the ceiling to avoid talking to her. 

"You wanna talk about that?" 

"Nope." 

"Alright." 

Silence again for about a minute. 

She got up off her bed, and I hoped she was leaving. I figured she was going to go hang with Ash and Soph, but instead she layed down next to me, the same way I was. 

"Rumor has it we're going to be the next big thing." She said. 

"That's cool." I didn't look at her.

"Hey. Don't go all Morgana on me, now." She laughed. 

I just grumbled. 

"Why are you all angry poo on me?" 

When I didn't respond, she sat up. She looked down at me, right into my eyes. 

Why was I acting like this? 

I could just say 'I don't know' and move on, but here's the honest truth. 

I think my 'crush' had become more than that. 

Morgana's ocean blue eyes looked right into mine. I felt the blush, that stupid sensation I get in my dumb face then she looks at me like that. With that smile...she's so perfect. 

"I'm not being angry...poo." I said. 

"Then what's up?" 

"I'm just tired." 

"Take a nap." 

"I don't want to be groggy for camp." 

"But you also don't want to be tired and angry pants." 

"True." I thought for a minute. "I don't really want to though." 

"Aww, come on. I'll take one with you." She layed back down again, this time wrapping her arms around me. 

"Morgana." I said. 

"Shhh." 

"Morgana." 

"Shhh." 

"Morg-" 

"SHHHH." 

"Morgana PLEASE!" I yelled. 

She moved away from me and stood up without a word. 

"What is wrong in here?" Sophia came in, followed by Ashley. 

"Nothing." Morgana said. 

"There was yelling." Ashley said, looking at me. 

"I was being dramatic." I replied.
