Clearwater [Mikey Way]

So, today we get to choose what we do today.
We get to choose between swimming the lake, practising but only the really hardcore concert band kids do that, or a whole lot of other stuff that doesn't evolve any physical activity.
That's what most people pick, according to Sage.

"Hey, Mikey. Sammi and the others are heading to the lake to swim. Are you gonna come?" I ask and he sighs.

"I cant. I have to stay with Taylor." He says and my smile drops.

I nod slowly and sigh.

"Just be careful when you two start fucking in the forest or some shit." I say and he glares slightly.

"She may be a slut but I'm not." He says and I laugh.

"Yeah right. Sluts like your supposed girlfriend will get sex whether the guy likes it or not." I say and he flips me off.

"For your information, I haven't even fucked her." He says then hesitates, facepalming. "I don’t know why I told you that."

I chuckle and roll my eyes.

"Whatever. I highly doubt that." I tell him and he glares at me.

"We're both virgins, thank you very fucking much." He says and I have to literally stop myself from spitting it out about that picture.

So I just smile slightly.

"Cool…" I say awkwardly.

He blushes a bit. "I shouldn’t have said anything. I don’t even know why I said anything in the first place. I barely know you and I wouldn’t even tell Sammi this." He says and I bite my lip.

"Yeah. But Sammi is kinda… hyperactive? Yeah. Let's go with that. She's hyperactive and would freak out and never leave you alone for being a virgin." I say and he chuckles.

"That's about right." he says and I laugh.

He glances at his watch and sighs. "I gotta go meet her now." he says and sighs again.

"Okay, I guess I'll see ya later then." I say and let a small smile slip.

He smiles slightly and hugs me before walking out the door.

I stare after him for a few seconds before I figure out what I'm doing and force myself to stop it.

I sigh and quickly shake my head.

What am I doing?
It's been one day and I'm crushing on a guy who's taken by a beautiful, blonde, tall slut.
She may be a bitch but that's feminism 1-0-1.
Never crush on someone taken.
Never make it obvious.
NEVER EVER act on it.

My second day and I have a crush on Mikey.

What the fuck is wrong with me?

I sigh and change into polyvore.com/at_lake/set?id=101544830 before I too head out the door.

As I start walking down to where Sammi told me to meet her and the guys, I happen to spot Mikey waiting for Taylor.

He gives me a small smile as he sees me but his head is pulled to one side and Taylor kisses him hard.

I just sigh and keep walking until I hit the flagpole where I was to meet Sammi and Patrick.

They aren't there yet so I sit on the concrete block that's holding up the camp flags.

I look around and hum a song, playing with my dress that I had thrown on over my bikini.

It’s a few minutes before I hear…

"It's so gross though! SHE WAS EATING HIS FACE AND HE OBVIOUSLY DIDN’T LIKE IT!"

I guess Sammi saw Mikey and the whore as well.

I chuckle slightly as Patrick tries to defend them in some way but you can tell he's struggling to find ways to make his point.

"I agree. Its fucking gross." I say, hopping off and walking over to the two of them.

Sammi points at me as she sees me walk over "See?! She gets it!"

Patrick just chuckles. "Yeah. But it's pretty obvious that she's crushing on him hard." He says with a smirk.

I freeze mid-step, making me over balance and fall over.

Sammi just pisses herself laughing and Patrick facepalms.

"I don’t know the kid!" I yell, still lying on my face in the dirt.

Sammi walks over and helps me up and I brush the dirt off my dress.

"You know him well enough to start crushing on him." She says and I roll my eyes.

"He has a girlfriend, remember?" I say and sigh. "We need to tell him somehow."

Patrick sighs too. "Poor kid…" he mutters.

He knows too.
And he said it perfectly.
Poor kid…

Sammi just shakes her head quickly at the thought of that happening to one of her best friends. "Can we just go? The guys will be there by now." She says and Patrick and I nod at almost the same time.

We make our way to a part of the lake a fair distance away from camp.

These kids really like running off from camp, huh.

"Where're the gu--" Patrick starts but is suddenly tackled down by a red and black blur.

I chuckle, pulling Pete off him. "Calm down, kiddo." I say and he just laughs.

Its then I notice how beautiful the lake actually is.

Crystal clear water with sunlight reflecting onto the trees around.
Speaking of the trees, every second tree or so has a rope and stick attached to it to serve as I swing thing into the water.
Around the side of the lake there's a small rapidy river leading to an even bigger lake but something tells me that you shouldn’t swim in there.

Sammi just chuckles and pulls her dress off over her head, leaving her in a plain red and white striped bikini.

The other guys whistle at her, earning glares from the other girls who have only just showed up.
All but Gerard anyway.
He's too busy staring at her.

"Come on, Missy!" She yells and I chuckle, pulling my dress off too.

The guys also whistle at me and I roll my eyes, flipping them off.

"Why do you have a lower back tattoo?" Joe asks, laughing a bit.

I roll my eyes and shrug. "It's amazing what I'll do if I'm dared." I say.

I swear I hear him mutter "Remind me to tell Mikey that."

"What's that supposed to mean?" I turn and ask him.

He just freezes and stutters slightly. "Uh, nothing." he says and I roll my eyes, turning around and running to the water.

I hold my top up so it doesn’t slip down as I dive in.

That would be real nice.
Flashing my new friends two days into camp.

Thankfully, my top doesn’t fall down and I swim up to the surface, pushing my now wet hair out of my eyes and pulling it out of the bun I had it in before.

I look around for Sammi before I'm tackled to the water by none other than the terror herself.

It's pretty shallow where we were standing so I fall straight down, slapping the water… with my face.

Sammi just laughs and sits on my but so I can still lift my head to breath.
So, actually she sits on my ass.

I give her an "Are you effing serious?" look and she just grins. "Your booty be comfy."

If I could facepalm, I would.

The guys hear her and just start cracking up laughing.

She looks at us, me shaking my head with my face in the water and breathing in about a litre a minute by accident and possible a few fish, and the guys who were physically lying on the ground in stitches.
I'm not kidding.
They were not standing.

Immature asshats.

She just gives me a "WTF did I say?!" look and I just crack up laughing too, breathing more water in.
So, I was laughing pretty much as hard as I could while choking on water.

Imaging the sound of a walrus mating with a dog with no vocal chords and you'll have an idea of the sound I was making.

"OH WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!" Sammi yells when she finally gets it and gets off me.

I stand up again and laugh, and the other guys never stopped.

She just glares and crosses her arms. "Take your time."

"T-This is gonna take-take a while." I manage, still holding my stomach from laughing so hard.

"How the hell did that take you that long to work that shit out?" Pete asks, still dying of laughter.

"Well, Sorry I'm not as immature as you." She says.

The guys (and girls) and I calm down after a while and I swim over to Patrick who is sitting on the bank.

"Come onnnnnn!" I whine and he chuckles and shakes his head.

"Noooo." He whines back and I roll my eyes.

"Pweeeeeeease?" I beg and he rolled his eyes, hanging his legs over the side.

I smirk a bit.

He's asking for this.

"You're an idiot." I say and grab one of his legs, dragging him into the water.

He yells and lands in with a splash.

I laugh and grab his hat which had fallen off when he "Fell" in the water, and put it on my head while he looks around for it.

I chuckle and kick my legs, propelling myself backwards while he splashes in the water looking for his hat and his glasses, not seeing that now I had also slipped his glasses on too after swiping them from the water so he wouldn’t lose them.

To be honest, I can't see shit through them.

"Missy have you seen my… Hat." he asked, spotting me a little way away from him.

He rolled his eyes at me and swam over to me.

"May I have my hat and glasses back please?" he asked politely and I chuckled.

"Polite won't get you anywhere with me." I say in a slightly seductive voice.

He smirks and roughly yanks me to his chest and kisses me roughly, smirking the entire time.

I can almost feel the stares of the others on us but I don’t care.

I kiss him back just as roughly and wrap my arms around his neck and he wraps his around my waist.

He pulls away after a little and whispers huskily in my ear. "Can I have my stuff back, please?"

I smirk and shove him away, diving back into the water.

He rolls his eyes at me and chuckles. "Can I at least have my glasses back?" He asks and I roll my eyes, faking an exasperated sigh "FIIIIIINE." I say and throw the glasses for him to catch.

Aaaaand he completely misses.

I chuckle and roll my eyes, swimming over to where I threw them and grab them again, standing up and walking over to him as we're still where we can stand up.

I slide the glasses on his face and smile "Better?" I ask.

He smiles and looks at me through his glasses "Better now. I can see you again from a distance."

I chuckle and shake my head at him.

He just smiles and cups my cheek softly in his hand. "May I?" he whispers and I nod.

With that he smiles and presses his lips to mine softly.

I know I've been here, like, two days but something about kissing him just feels… right?
Yeah. It feels right.

But the worst part is that it feels like it's meant to be when I kiss Mikey.

I push that thought to the back of my head and just focus on kissing Patrick.

Again, I can feel the others' eyes on us but, like before, I don’t care.
At all.

He pulls away a little later and walks back to the guys who just start highfiving him like guys do.
Never understood that.
What's the deal?
It's not like they kissed me.

I just stood there, completely dumbfounded until Sammi and Sage swam over to me, clicking in front of my face.

"Dude, I've never seen Patrick do that with a girl he just met. He must like you." Sage said.

Maybe I should clear up.
Sammi, Mikey and the others have been coming here since they were about 13 so, they're like the veterans of this place, or so I've been told.
They're all a close, tight-knit group that is pretty reluctant to welcome new people.
I guess I sort of won them over with my little stint with Taylor on my first day but still…
They only get to see each other for a few months a year, and I know that sounds like enough but can you imagine only being able to be with your best friends in the entire world for only two-three months a year then not see them for the nest nine?
By meeting new people, they're just adding more people to miss.

I shrug, still blushing and Sammi just chuckles. "You should go for it. I mean, I know you're crushing on Mikey but Patrick's a sweet guy." She said and I facepalmed.

"Wait, she's crushing on Mikey?" Sage asks, grinning.

Sammi nods, making me blush.

"Hey, you're blushing. That's adorable." Sage says and I cover my face with my hair and put Patrick's hat on over it so I look like a sasquatch.

"The fuck you mean, bish?" I say from behind my hair, making them both laugh.

"You know, I think it might be mutual." Sammi says and I part my hair so my eyes are visible.

"Really?" I ask, wide eyes. "he has Taylor."

"But he doesn’t like her. And I think deep down he knows what's going on with her but just doesn’t want to be alone." Sage says with a sigh.

I nod and sigh. "He is a bit friendly to me. Well, more than he should be to someone you just meet." I say and she chuckles.

"That's really weird. He's normally a quiet kid." Sammi says, smiling a bit.

I chuckle "Not around me."

Sage chuckles and looks around and sighs, seeing that the clouds have come over. "Come on. We better head back before it starts raining." She says and I nod sadly.

"Okay." I say and follow her back to the guys.

Most of them groan but half of them didn’t even get in the water.
*cough*Gerard*cough*

I slip my dress back on and throw Patrick a small smile before returning to Sage and Sammi who out their arms around me and start walking back to camp, leaving the guys to carry all our shit.
Which by the way, is a lot.
Hehehe.
