"We're camping out...here?"

I looked at the ground and cringed, imagining the limitless amount of insects that occupied the place we were about to sleep for the night. On the bright side, though, we were in an open field, it was almost twilight and the sky had metamorphosed into a billion shades of blue, blending with the sunset's luminous colours. 

Valentino laughed at me, "Were you expecting a five star hotel, little C?" 

I blushed, "No..." I mumbled.

Looking around, I watched as Dennis, Jake and Jayden finished putting up their tents. I knotted my eyebrows together; there were only three tents.

So, if the twins shared a tent...and Valentino and Dennis shared one too...that meant...

"Where am I sleeping?" I blurted, my heart picking up its pace. There was no way I could possibly ever sleep in the same tent as- 

"Outside." Reece commented, holding a couple of blocks of wood for the campfire. He walked past me, winking, before he kneeled down and began to light the wood on fire.

I crouched down beside him and pouted, "You sleep outside."

"But then I might catch a cold." He stated as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

I laughed, shaking my head, "You're unbelievable."

"Unbelievably sexy."

At that moment, Valentino squeezed in between us, "Well, well, well, looks like our campfire is set...you know what this means now, right Chloe?"

I looked at him, puzzled, "Toasted marshmallows?"

"Scary stories." He grinned, rubbing his hands together maliciously.

"Here we go..." Reece muttered, rolling his eyes.

Valentino peered his eyes at Reece, "What was that?"

"Nothing, please, enlighten us with one of your famous scary stories, Val. I can't wait to feel like a frightened schoolgirl again." He remarked in his most sarcastic tone. "And please don't forget to hold my hand in the process, just incase I lose my dick from being so terrified." 

Valentino, clearly unaffected by his best friend's mocking, holds Reece's hand tightly in the most feminine manner, "Of course, Reecey, I'll protect you, baby."

This just made me double over in a laughing fit.

"Anywhore," Valentino said, making himself comfortable, "gather around kids, this story is going to be one to remember."

Dennis sat on the other side of me, and the twins soon followed. Valentino cleared his throat. Reece just looked bored.

"Once upon a time, there was a little girl who really loved dolls." Valentino began, his eyes lighting up as everyone listened. "She had a large collection of them in her bedroom. One day, when she was browsing through a shop on her own, she spotted a really beautiful doll..." 

"Why would a little girl go to a shop on her own, where are her parents?" Reece asked cynically.

Valentino looked annoyed, "She must be fuckin' Dora the Explorer, I don't fuckin' know, shut up and listen to the fuckin' story."

Reece put his hands up in defeat, "Okay, okay, chill."

"Anyway, as I was saying," Valentino continued,  "She saw a beautiful doll, with all those sequins and shit that kids like,"

"She asked the old woman behind the counter how much it was, but the woman told her that the doll was not for sale. The girl told the woman how much she wanted the doll, but the woman just said that the doll was not for sale, because it was cursed!" He hissed.

Valentino paused, for dramatic effect. Reece just sat there, with as much expression as a wall.

"But the little girl wanted the doll so much, she thought it would be perfect for her doll collection, so she told the woman that she didn't care if the doll was cursed,"

"Dedication." Reece fist pumped.

Valentino ignored him and continued, "The woman finally gave up, and told her that she would not sell it, but if she really wanted it, then she could have it, but not to blame her if anything bad happened,"

"The little girl grabbed the doll and walked out of the shop, ecstatic that she now had the doll, when she got back to her apartment, she waited for the elevators to open. When they did, she walked inside with her doll and waited,"

"The elevator doors closed, but the elevators did not move," he said scarily.

" 'Oh my God!' the girl thought, 'Is this the curse of the doll?!', suddenly, she feels the doll move in her arms...ever so slowly, the doll's head turns to face her. The doll's eyelids fluttered open, it stared at the girl with its lifeless eyes...it's mouth opened and it said..."

Valentino paused again, reaching the climax.

"Push the button to go up, bitch!" 

~*~ 

We all just stayed there for a while, just talking, laughing, being carefree. It was almost midnight now, and the sky above us was illuminated by so many stars, it lit up the entire sky.

Valentino yawned and stood up, stretching. "Well, I'm off, adios bitchachos."

The twins soon followed, "Night guys." They said simultaneously.

Dennis scoffed and got up, brushing the dirt off his shorts, "Hell no. There's no way I'm third wheeling. Laters."

And just like that, it was just the bad boy, cupid and me.

"You're not tired?"

I whipped my head up and looked at Reece, "No, not really."

He stayed silent, but I didn't want our conversation to end there.

"Are you nervous for tomorrow?"

My question must have caught him off guard. "What?"

I placed my hands closer to the fire, trying to get warmer, "The championship. It's tomorrow, are you nervous?"

He laughed, "What's there to be nervous about?"

"Losing?"

He smirked, "I'm not going to lose, Chloe." He stated cockily.

I put my hands up in defeat, "Oh, okay, Mr. Invincible. We get it, you're pro."

He laughed, and scooted closer to me, so he could get nearer to the fire and warm his hands as well.

"You know, your ex might be there." He commented coolly.

I, on the other hand, jumped in surprise, and almost burnt my fingers in the fire.

"What?! Why?"

Reece didn't seem surprised at my outburst, "I've seen him a couple of times at other battles that I've competed in. I wouldn't be surprised if he comes to this one too."

"Great." I muttered, sounding anything but cheerful.

This made him laugh again, "I'm guessing you guys didn't break up on good terms."

"Step back, we have a genius."

"Haha, you're funny." He commented in monotone, sounding anything but amused.

I gave him a small smile, "Ashton is...just...I'd rather not talk about him."

Reece shrugged as if he couldn't care less, "What do you want to talk about?"

I thought about it for a second, "Your past girlfriends."

"No." He replied immediately.

"Oh C'mon!" I slapped his arm playfully, "Please!"

"No."

"Come on! Tell me!"

Suddenly, I fully thought it through. Reece was gorgeous, there was no doubt he would have had a couple of girlfriends, which the more I envisioned it, a pang of hurt tugged at my heartstrings. As much as I hated to admit it, I was getting jealous of all the pretty, perfect girls he must have been with.

And I really thought I stood a chance?

Talk about wishful thinking, mindless dreaming.

Reece sighed, "Non-existent."

"What?"

"I've never had a girlfriend before."

My eyes widened in disbelief, "Wow, I never took you as a one night stand, player type of guy, Reece."

"No, idiot." Reece snapped. "I mean, I've never even been with a girl. Ever."

And with that, I died and went to happy land, with rainbow unicorns and-

Wait. Hold up.

"But that means that your first kiss..." I trailed, not being able to believe this.

"...Was with you." Reece finished, looking away, shy all of a sudden.

The silence after that, was deafening.

My heart raced like crazy, I couldn't believe the words coming out of his mouth.

I was Reece's first kiss.

Me.

I was his first kiss!

I couldn't get my mind around it. I was the first girl he's ever kissed, ever.

And then I remembered all the times we had actually kissed, and the guilt came rushing over me.

"Oh my God! I'm so sorry!"

"Not the response I was expecting..." He muttered.

"Forgive me!" I cried.

"What?"

"I stole your first kiss!"

"Yeah. I know."

"And I kicked you in the balls right after!"

"Bitch move, will never be forgotten." He noted.

"I'm so sorry!"

A/N - TWO MORE CHAPTERS LEFT!
HAHAHA I had so much fun writing this chapter, did you guys laugh? I hope you did! I was laughing the entire time :P 

For those of you who were confused, the e-mail to Chloe in the previous chapter was from me about Mr. I Don't Smile! I was surprised at how many people thought it was a random girl in love with Reece! 

Speaking of Mr. I Don't Smile, things are going okay! I don't talk to him as much as I used to, because when I start to actually like-like someone, I suddenly become too shy to talk to them...is anyone else like this?

BUT-T-T, I was in the library printing out my Biology assignment the other day, I was with my friends, and the next thing I know, Mr. I Don't Smile walks up to me, FLASHES THE BIGGEST SMILE I'VE SEEN HIM WEAR and asks if the assignment's due today. I merely manage to nod. He then sits beside me and does his work. My friend tries to talk to him, and he hardly looks at her.

Later on, my friend was like, "Aww, you get a smile, I get the why-is-this-thing-talking-to-me look."

Hehehe <3
