Chapter 11: “Let's Run”

♡ Belle's pov ♡

"Hey wake up. " I felt a hand on my head lightly tapping it.

I sat straight as I realized I was sleeping on Alexander's shoulder.

"We are here. Get your things and let’s get out," Alexander said as he stretched his arms and back.

"Sorry for sleeping on your shoulder, I didn’t realize," I said as I got my bag.

"It’s alright you are not that heavy. And you didn’t bother me," Alexander said as he got up from his seat.

We went down from the bus and searched for our friends. After a minute of searching, we found them.

"Oh, my god" Ayla said as she saw us coming.

"What?" Alexander asked.

"That’s the first time I see you two walking together, not cursing at each other or hitting each other," Ayla said.

"Wait what? " Ella asked.

"You two?" Brandon pointed at us. "Walked normally next to each other?" Brandon said.

"Miracle" Flynn said.

"Okay shut up, we get it," I said as a rolled my eyes.

"Come on, everybody, let’s head to the spot," Mrs. brown said.

As we walked to the center where tables and bathroom stalls were placed.

"Alright, there will be a few activities," Mrs. brown said as we all gathered around her.

"The groups will be in pairs. Now I’ll pick two random names from this bowl.," Mrs. brown held a bowl full of papers.

"And they will be pairs, so let's start. " The teacher started to shuffle around as she picked two names "Allison and Mike. ".

I didn’t pay that much attention, only when my friend's names pop out or mine.

"Ayla and Cameron,"

"Belle and Alexander,"

'great',

"Ella and Brandon,"

Ella🤍:
this is definitely a set-up

me:
definitely

Ayla🤍:
for sure

I went to Alexander, who was glaring at Mrs. Brown clenching his fist.

'Wouldn’t blame him though.'

"God, even on a school trip, I have to pair with you?" I said, as I groaned.

"As if I want to pair with you at any time, you are a bad partner anyway," Alexander said as rolled his eyes.

"Alright, first of all, everyone gets a tent and you and your partner have to put it up. Who finishes first gets plus five, points," Mrs. brown, said, making me smirk and look at Alexander, who was already looking at me smirking.

'We got this'

In under eight minutes we finished first of course a little bit of trips from me here and there and Alexander constantly glaring at it because it will fall over again.

"Five points for Alexander and Belle, who finished their tent in under eight minutes," Mrs. brown said, making the rest of the seniors to clap.

'oh, thank you, thank you'

"now second task is the easiest, probably. All you have to do is get wood, make a fire place, and light it without using a match,"

'Easiest?'
'What is easy in her description?'

"What the fuck?" I heard Alexander whisper behind me.

"Let's get going," Mrs. brown said.

Me and Alexander went to the woods to find wood and let me tell you. It. Wasn't. Easy.

I fell two times, chased by a bee three times, hurt my arm with branches of wood.

Worse, 10 minutes of my life. And all of it with Alexander, who was laughing at me the whole time.

'Dickhead'

"Let's go before another bee decides that it likes you," Alexander said as he grabbed me by my waist and walked farther into the woods.

"I hate this," I said as I picked few wood from the ground.

"Come on, I think I saw a few good woods there. " Alexander put his hand on my lower back, guiding me.

"Can this please be our last one? " I whined as I tried to wave off a bee.

'I hate my life'

"Here, let me help you. " Alexander waved off the bee and fixed my hair that was all over the place.

"Thank you, Ace," I said as I walked past him.

"Ace? It’s been so long," Alexander said.

We walked next to each other, back to the main area.

"Imagine if a bear showed up behind us right now," Alexander whispered in my ear and smirked.

"What? " I said as I froze.

I am terrified of bears. I hate them.

"What if I’m looking at you right now, coming from a distance?," Alexander said as he kept looking behind me.

"Alexander please stop" I said, scared, imaging all the ways I could die by that stupid bear.

"Let’s run," Alexander said as he grabbed my arm and ran.

That's when I heard a bear and I looked back for a second to see a huge bear standing.

'Don’t faint'
'don't faint'

"Don’t faint, Lilly" Alexander said as he slowed down.

I heard a sound in the bushes near us that made me almost pee in my pants.

I can feel my heart beat becoming faster with each passing second till I fainted.

~~~~~~~~~

"Lilly, wake up. " I felt a hand on my cheek aggressively shaking my head.

"Lilly, come on," I heard Alexander stutter.

I opened my arms to see a worried looking Alexander who is hugging me on the ground.

"Don’t ever do that again, you scared me Lilly,"

"Well, I can’t control it," I said as I rolled my eyes and stood up slowly.

"Woah be careful," Alexander said as he held me by my waist as I was about to fall down.

"Is the bear gone now?"

"There was no bear,"

'what'

"but I saw it,"

"no I checked. There weren't any bears around here,"

"how long was I passed out for?,"

"3 minutes" Alexander said.

"Damn new record" I said as I walked back to the main place.

Alexander and I placed rocks in a circle shape and put down the wood. Alexander tried to light up the fire place, but it won’t make a fire, so we had to ask help.

'Disappointing'

"Now that's all down we are going to play some games, but it’s in groups and both schools are in at the same time, so you will have different people in your group," Mrs. brown and the other teacher said to all of us.

"Now we will pick two captains, and they will randomly choose," the other teacher for the other school said.

"Mike Wesley and Rebecca Mason," Mrs. brown said, making Rebecca clap her hands and jump.

'What is up with her?'

"You can choose your group now," Mrs. brown said.

Rebecca and mike kept choosing random people from both school, of course Rebecca tried to choose the finest boys possible, and mike the finest girls and the toughest guys possible.

"Oh, I choose you," Mike said as he came next to me.

'Great, I'd rather be with Rebecca'

"Baby Alexander, I choose you," and here we go.

After one minute, we all were chosen by both captains.

"Now that you all finished, let’s start the game," the other teacher said as Mrs. brown gave us a rope and put between the two groups red line on the ground.

"Of course you know the game. You have to pull the rope till the other group passes the red line.

In our group, the girls in the front and the boys are in the back, the other group is just random.

"One… two… three... go," the teachers said, and we started pulling in our direction, making the other team come forward a bit.

But the other team caught up with us fast enough to not touch the red line. We kept going back and forth till finally one of the players in the front stepped on the red line, making our team win.

While playing the rope, a boy came from the other school, named Nathaniel, and he started talking to me.

"Hey, what's your name? I’m Nathaniel" he asked as I was pulling the rope.

"Belle," I said, and turned to the other team.

"Well, I thought you looked pretty, so I wanted to get to know you, it's nice to meet you, belle," Nathaniel said.

"It’s nice to meet you too, Nathaniel," I said and smiled.

'He seems nice'

Next games were jump rope.

I hate jump rope with my whole heart.

We started with only one player and the rope was in a slow movement now and then the rope got faster till we have to add another rope.

After the other rope was added, it was two players in the middle.

Finally, it was my turn and let me tell you it was the most embarrassing and scary thing ever.

I was doing fine at first, but slowly I started to lose track till I finally tripped and fell.

Alexander, Brandon, Cameron and Flynn rushed to me as fast as they can.

"Oh my god are you okay?" Ayla said as she helped me up and fixed my clothes.

"Are you hurt?" Alexander asked as he held me by my waist, trying to keep me standing.

"My ankle twisted," I said as I mentally cried in pain.

'My leg hurt so bad I'll actually cry.'
'why is Alexander holding me?'

"Just sit down here," Ella said as she helped me sit down with Alexander.

"Sorry for making trouble for you guys," I said as I tried to put my leg in a comfortable position.

"It's alright people fall all the time," Brandon said as he waved it off.

"Are you okay?" Nathaniel came and checked my leg if it's bruised while doing, so he hit the spot where the pain is located the most, making me tighten my grip on Alexander's hand.

'Alexander's hand?'
'I just gave him my hand to hold on to him. Why didn't he let my hand go?'

~~~

♕ Alexander's pov ♕

After all the games are done, we helped the teachers to do a fire place, and we all sat around it.

I sat between Brandon and Cameron, and we brought with us marshmallows, so we can burn them.

I looked around and saw Lilly sitting next to a boy who I have never seen before except when Lilly hurt her ankle, and he came to "check on her".

I mean, you just met her. Why would you stick to her all night long since the rope game he has been stuck to her side and won't leave her alone?

'Is she even comfortable with him?'

I looked at Lilly and the boy to see her playing with her bracelet, meaning she was nervous.

I got this feeling in my chest, like it's clenching around. I don't know what that is, but it’s not good.

"Why are looking at belle like that?," I heard Brandon whisper to me.

"Huh? oh, I wasn’t looking at her, I was thinking," I said as I looked at Brandon.

"I think you were thinking about how belle and that boy are sitting so close to each other," I heard Cameron say.

"No, why would I think that I don’t even like her use? I don’t hate her anymore, but I don’t like her," I said to Brandon and Cameron.

"So if you see belle with this guy going on dates, eating together, hanging out, and kissing you won’t feel anything?" Brandon said with a raised eyebrow.

At these thoughts, my heart clenched again, and my stomach had a weird feeling. Am I sick?

"So you don't feel anything looking at these two?" Brandon asked me.

"Why would I feel something? I don’t like her," I said as I looked at Lilly and the boy for a second, then quickly looked at Brandon.

"Well then you won’t be a problem,"

"Why would I be a problem?"

"If she likes him, it will be easy to get them together," Brandon said as he ate his Marshmallow.

'What?'
'No'
'Why not?'
'I don’t know'

I cleared all the thoughts in my head and tried to enjoy my night as much as I can, but there’s an urge to punch that boy in his face and I don’t know why he didn’t do anything.

It’s just how he is sitting next to Lilly that makes me angry. I’m definitely sick.

Why would I even be worried about her, I don’t like her? Right?

Why do I keep looking at her direction every 2 minutes, I know I don’t like her? I would never feel anything towards her?

"Stop clenching your hands. You're making it too obvious that you have a crush," Cameron said, as he nudged me.

"I don’t like Lilly,"

"I never said her name," Cameron said as he smirked.

'Why would I like her? She’s not special'

THAT'S IT AND HELP ME GOD THAT TOOK ME SO LONG IT'S NOT EVEN A GOOD UPDATE WTF
