Chapter Nine -
Happily-Never-After
_______________
"B-but, we're not even romantically involved with each other," I say quietly, fiddling with my hands, and brushing them against my sweats because of the sweat starting to form on my hands from nervousness.
"So, you're telling me, that you two never snuck out in the middle of the night?" She sneers, narrowing her blazing eyes down at me, and I flinch, suddenly aware that I may get kicked out of this camp really, really soon.
"Well.. um, no?" I squeak, averting my eyes to Noah's, hoping for some kind of help. His eyes are cast downward, not meeting my eyes.
I give my full attention to the floor, staring down at the rough, green carpet. Maybe she will leave us alone if we ignore her, yeah? Hopefully.
I look up, expecting to see her still here, but she's gone and I look around the room in confusion. Where did she go?
"She had to talk to the staff," I hear Noah mumble from beside me, and he has his face in his hands, and he sighs almost every ten seconds, and it's starting to worry me.
"Sorry," I whisper, rubbing my eyes to get the tears to stay in my eyes, and make sure they will not start to come rushing out like fucking Niagra Falls or some crazy shit like that, 'cause that would be incredibly embarassing.
"It's not your fault."
"Are you sure? Becau--" I get cut off when the lights go out, and I nearly scream, but I don't. I keep my mouth shut, because if I opened it, crazy noises would be coming from me, and it would be, once again, embarassing.
"Dani? You there?"
"Yeah, I'm right here."
"Here? Oh, hi."
"Hi."
"..."
"..."
"Um, I can't see you."
"No shit, Sherlock."
"Hey, I'm a girl, Sherlock was a guy."
"So?"
"So..."
"Whatever."
"Oops, that's your knee."
"Yep."
"Oh, and that's your thigh, oops."
"Are you done touching me, Dani?"
"Um, wait, um, yeah-no, wait."
"I got you, didn't I?"
"Um, yeah."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Wait, my forehead is touching yours right?"
"Yeah, it is, Noah."
"..."
"..."
"You kissed me."
"I sure did, Dani."

The lights came back on a few hours ago, and when they did, I let my eyes adjust to the light, and I scurried on out of there, because back there, it was a mess. I mean, who kisses someone in the dark? Was he scared? I don't know and it's killing me.
"Hey, you alright?" I turn my head to see Alex standing there with some ice cream and a note on it that said: "Happy-Never-After, eh?" It was actually adorable, and I grin at Alex, pointing at the tub of Red Velvet ice cream.
"You got that for me?" I ask, wide-eyed and suddenly feeling a little bit better.
"You got that wrong," she teases, sitting criss-crossed on her bed and I frown.
"Just kidding, don't worry," she laughs, handing it over to me, and I automatically brighten like a lamp, and I dig in to the creamy goodness.
"So, what happened?" Alex asks, nudging me with her elbow, and I look at her with an annoyed face, while ice cream was dripping from the tip of my nose, spilling onto my chin messily.
"Well, um, the lights went out..." I start off from there, and as I went further into the story, she seems to get more excited and more impatient. But, when I was about to tell her that he kissed me, I hesitated. I mean, it's weird, for some reason. That he kissed me, is what I mean. But, I tell her anyways because she took the hesitation as a good thing, while I took it as a bad thing. So, I finished telling her, and she started screaming for at least two minutes, and I'm surprised no one suspected that she was being murdered.
"I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!" She squeals, repeating 'I knew it!' over and over and over again, and it was quite annoying, yet it was refreshing, knowing she hasn't changed a bit the past week.
"I ship you two so hard," she says dreamily, her eyes growing wider, and they were filled with admiration and excitement, and it's actually scary, seeing her like this. But, when she says that, I pretty much spit out all the ice cream I shoved into my mouth, and she giggles like a school girl when I do, while I nearly faint.
"You better be shitting me," I mutter, getting up to go to the bathroom, grabbing towels and wetting them to try and get the stains off of the sheets, and I cringe when I remember they're white, so it'll take forever.
As I am doing this, she giggles and squeals about me and Noah, and it's actually getting irritating now, so I stop.
"Can you cut it out?" I snap, whipping my head around to look at her, and when she sees my murderous glare, she shrugs and countinues on, while I nearly scream in frustration.
__________
My eye is literally twitching, the left one. It's probably been thrity minutes since she has been giggling and doing girly shit like that, while I sit here now, plugging my ears with my fingers, and sadly, it isn't helping at all.
"God, you two would make such a cute couple!"
"I knew this was going to happen!"
"I hope you two kiss in front of Kate.."
"Ooh, what if you two get married!"
"When are you two finally going to have sex?"
That's when I nearly strangle her, and she looks at me with a hopeful look, and I look at her like she's crazy, and she shrugs, and smiles, probably taking that as a yes, but I hope not.
I really hope she is fucking lying like she always does a lot.
"I hate you," I mutter, looking at her with annoyance shining in my eyes, and dripping from the tip of my tounge.
"But.. we're best buds!" She squeals loudly, and I finally look at her. Her eyes are rimmed with red. How have I not noticed this before?
"Dude, are you high?" I nearly squeak, staring at her with wide eyes, and she stares innocently back at me, and she suddenly squeals even louder, jumping up on her bed, and throwing her hands up in the air, bouncing on and off the bed.
"You just gotta stay high!" She screams, singing horribly, "all the time!" I groan, heading towards the door, and leaving, and walking away. Her yells become faint now, and I slump with relief, and I just notice people coming out of their dorms, looking at mine with a weird look, like someone was going crazy in there, and I wouldn't be surprised if Alex was.
I suddenly crash into someone, and when I look up, all color drains from my face, and my breath catches in my throat.
Oh no.
