Michael's P.O.V
I walked out the main cabin with Indigo following behind me. She was acting weird, weirder than usual actually. I shrugged it off and continued walking. I walked alone with her behind me and it felt weird. I stopped and waited for her to catch up until I felt someone smack their body behind me. I turned to see Indigo. "Why'd you stop",she asked. "To wait for you",I said nonchalantly.
"Oh okay",she said starting to walk again beside me this time. "That counselor seemed like a jerk",I scoffed trying to make small talk. "Yeah he was,I thought his head was gonna explode for Petes sake",she said laughing. At least I got her to talk again. "Did he wake you up",I asked. "Yeah with all of his banging how could I not wake up! I don't know how you stayed asleep",she said. "I don't know? I woke up to the thud but not him knocking? Why were you by my bed anyways",I asked remembering her sitting down on the ground.
Her face went red and she didn't answer. "Oh look the canoes",she said scrambling away from me. Okay that was weird. But then again what isn't weird when I'm around Indigo. I just followed her over to one of the canoes. "How do you even clean this thing",I said. "I dunno like maybe scrub it",she said not so sure of herself.
I dumped the cleaning supplies onto the dirt. I grabbed the bucket and knelt down to get water. I had the bucket filled to the brim until I poured the water back into the lake and decided to have some fun. Indigo was behind me inspecting the cleaning supplies when I caught her attention. "Hey Indigo",I yelled. She turned around to her name being called. I pretended to throw the non existent water at her. She instantly recoiled back and put her hands up. "MICHAEL STOP",she screamed.
Again I bursted out laughing. "What the heck Michael you need to stop before I kick you again",she threatened taking a step towards me. "I was kidding! Can't you take a joke",I said laughing. "You make me angry Clifford really angry",she said grabbing cleaning supplies and walking over to the canoe. "Oh but you can't get rid of me hmm",I taunted. "Shut up",she said spraying some of the cleaning chemicals on the canoe.
"So what's your favorite food",I asked her. "Why do you need to know",she replied. "I want to get to now you better, plus we have so much time on our hands",I said. "Ok fine. It's pasta",she said. "Mine is pizza especially Hawaiian pizza",I said closing my eyes and dreaming about it.
"Ew how do you eat that stuff",she said. I widened my eyes and stared at her. "You mean you don't eat pizza",I said shocked and might I also add, hurt. "No not pizza you doofus I love it too. I mean pineapples on pizza",she said cringing at the thought.
"WHAT",I screamed. "Yeah I don't do pineapples on my pizza it's nasty and wrong on all levels",she said. "Are you serious?" "Yup it's not right",she said. "Looks like I can't like a girl who doesn't eat Hawaiian pizzas",I said laughing. "And why is that",she asked. "Because I have all the reasons not too",I said. "Yeah that reason being pizza. Listen to what you're saying Michael and maybe you can see the stupidity in it",she said snickering.
"I don't need this attitude Indigo",I said snapping my fingers in a z motion. "Oh you're just going to have to deal with it hon",she said patting my cheek and walking over to the next canoe.
I rolled my eyes but followed her anyways. Some days I can't tell if she likes me or wants to push me down a well, but that's Indigo for you.
And somewhere deep inside of me was hoping that she did like me. "Good thing she has no clue about it",I thought looking at her in front of me.
