*** Ashley

Caleb becomes our fishing helper and ends up baiting all of our hooks. I'm not sure this is what he had in mind when he first showed up here, but he seems fine with it. It's actually kind of weird to me, because it's so different from how Ethan is. Caleb is helpful and nice, and I don't want to say that Ethan isn't helpful or nice, but, um...

I guess Ethan is, but in a different way? He's more of the commanding, take charge sort, while Caleb seems content to just help out with whatever someone needs help with. Which maybe my mom and I are using to our advantage right now, but Caleb seems to be enjoying himself, too.

Also, Caleb has a secret. Oh, yes, it's a very good secret, too.

He tried to avoid my mom's scrutinizing questions about him having a girlfriend, but my mom is really good at this kind of thing and Caleb couldn't guard himself for very long. He does not have a girlfriend, but...

"There is this one girl," Caleb says. "Uh... her name is Scarlet."

"Oh?" my mom asks. "How did you meet her?"

"She's my neighbor," Caleb says. "Back home, I mean. Not here. She's never been to the campground, though I've told her all about it."

"Is she interested?" my mom asks.

"You could invite her?" I add.

"Oh, er... no, I couldn't do that..." Caleb says.

A fish bites at my hook and I try to, um... fish it? I don't know! This is my first time fishing and honestly I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing. A second later, it's no longer nibbling at the end of my line, though. I reel in the line and check and it's just eaten my worm and vanished!

Actually, I'm relieved. I know we're supposed to be fishing, but I feel bad for the fish. Thankfully neither of us has caught any fish whatsoever, so mostly we're just feeding them worms. I feel like there's worse ways to spend your day. Plenty of people go to the park to feed the birds, right? This is like the same thing, except we're at a lake feeding the fish.

"Why can't you?" I ask Caleb while he baits a worm on my hook for me.

"This is going to sound weird," Caleb says. "Uh... Scarlet kind of reminds me of Ethan?"

"Oh," my mom says, nodding in complete understanding. "She's the bad girl type, is she?"

Caleb starts to blush. "Well, er... I don't... I don't know about that, uh..."

I suddenly feel an urgent need to help Caleb. I don't know why, I just... I want to help him. He's like me, isn't he? And I needed Ethan as my bad boy to show me what I was capable of. Caleb needs his bad girl, too. I think he does. Oh no, what if he doesn't? What if Scarlet isn't like Ethan at all and she's going to be mean to Caleb and treat him poorly?

Because, to be honest, I don't think all bad boys are good.
