"He definitely likes you..." Harold says, I scoff.

"Well it's too late..." I inhale sharply.

"Are you mad at Heather for telling everyone?" DJ asks me.

"I mean... no not really, we had to tell everyone someday..." DJ nods at me.

We're at the campsite denting up camp, Harold is trying to make a fire and a Duncan is watching, Tyler's looking though our bags for no apparent reason, and Me, Courtney, Bridgette and Geoff are pitching the tent.

"Wow. You pitch a tent like a guy!" Geoff turns to Bridgette and says, we all just stare at him blankly. "I mean, you're not all girly about gettin' dirty and stuff." He tries time save it but it doesn't really work.

"Gee. Thanks." Bridgette answers unamused, suddenly Duncan walks up behind Courtney.

"What's for dinner, woman? I'm starving." He casually says, I stare him in the eyes.

"Woah, there!" I say quietly to myself.

"I hope you don't expect me to dignify that with a response." Courtney says rather annoyed.

"Hey guys, look what I found!" DJ says and pats a bunny on the head.

"Well, I've never had rabbit stew before, but what the heck? I'm game." Duncan says while Me, Him, Courtney and Harold walk over to DJ, DJ sighs

"This is my new pet! I'm callin' him Bunny!" DJ says happily to us.

"You couldn't find any food?" She sighs. "Then it looks like we're eating grubs and berries for dinner." She walks away to continue on the tent.

"Has anyone seen Tweedledumb and Tweedleidiot?" Duncan asks and looks around.

"Nope, and I'm already done tryna look for them." I say and lay down on the wet floor.

"What are you doing?" Duncan asks me confused "Get up!" He offers me his hand.

"Nah, I'm alright here..." I groan as Duncan also lays down next to me. "What are you doing?" I ask him.

"I'm doing a Mo!" He says and then we realise everyone's watching us, we look at each other and laugh. "Okay, I'm getting up, need a hand?" Duncan offers me his hand.

"Sure!" I grab his hand and stand up.

"Your backs muddy..." He says and walks away.

"So do you, idiot!" I shout.

"Shut up!" He shouts back jokily

An owl hoots as the fire cracks, Bridgette sighs.

"Be cool. It's just an owl." DJ comforts her.

"Sorry. I just get real freaked out in the forest." Shes says rubbing her legs.

"This reminds me of this really scary story I heard once." Duncan immediately says.

"Awesome. Tell it, man." Geoff says excitedly.

"Are you sure? Because the story I'm thinking of is pretty hardcore." Duncan says, I'm pretty sure it can't be that scary.

"Ooh, we're so scared." Courtney sarcastically says.

"All right. But don't say I didn't warn you. One night, a lot like this one..." He trials include about this man with a hook for a hand, it really wasn't that scary.
