When I woke up the next morning, the sun was shining through a slit in my curtain. I rolled over and pulled the pillow over my head. I couldn’t believe how things had turned out.

I’d rushed from Markus’ cabin, and ran to mine, slamming the door behind me. Grace and Leah were watching TV, and they both jumped up when I came in.

“What is wrong?” Leah asked.

“What happened?” Grace said at the same time.

I let the tears fall as I leaned against the door. I still couldn’t believe it.

“Is this about the pissed chick looking for Markus?”

“If her name is Cara and she’s his girlfriend, yes.”

“Oh my God,” Leah said. “Savannah said she met his girlfriend, and she showed her where his cabin was.”

“Well of course Savannah did,” I said, dashing at the tears on my face. “Who else would it be?”

“She was far too cheerful,” Leah said. “Like she ran over someone’s dog.”

I looked at her and I started laughing. “That… is the perfect… description of her,” I gasped weakly.

I must be insane. From crying to laughing in under sixty seconds? That’s what crazy people did.

“What happened?” Grace asked.

“We came in and we were…”

“Having sex?” Grace shouted.

“No! And keep your voice down! No, we were kissing, and it was dark, and the light came on, and she was standing there, all glaring and Ms.-I’m-all-that, and I panicked.”

“What did she say?” Leah asked.

“Basically, that he was hers, who the hell was I, I would rue the day. You know. Normal bitch girl stuff.”

Grace and Leah looked at each other.

“I think that’s the first time I’ve heard you swear since you started here,” Leah said slowly. “She must be bad.”

“She was. But Markus didn’t say anything. He was totally focused on her—”

“Making up with her?” Grace interrupted.

“I don’t know. I don’t think so. I just know I’ve never felt so awkward in my life, and I got the hell out.”

There was silence and then Leah asked, “OK, so is he as good of a kisser as I think he is?”

“Leah!” Grace hissed.

I looked at her and sat down on the small couch with them. “Yes. Since that was probably the first and last time I’ll kiss him, I’m happy to report he is an amazing kisser.”

“Whoa. You have it bad,” Grace said.

“What do you mean?”

“You didn’t see your face when you were talking about kissing him. You have it baaad. You saw it, didn’t you, Leah?”

Leah nodded.

“Well, I have to unhave it. Because there’s no way I can compete with Cara.”

“Are you kidding?” Leah asked.

“No. Not at all.”

“You don’t really see yourself, do you?” Grace asked. “Because you so compete. In fact, he’s crazy and a psycho chaser if he takes her back after you.”

“Absolutely,” Leah nodded.

“Well, I have to make it through this weekend. Pray to the scheduling gods Bob doesn’t put us together. I need a little time before I face him. I’m going to bed.”

“Night,” both chorused as I went to my room and shut the door, falling face first on the bed.
