CAMILLA’s POV.

“Hey! Hi…” I greeted Damien nervously as I stepped back a little.
I was disappointed when Mr. Kent said he would pair us with the boys, I was thinking of clinging with Leticia.
And the worst part was that I was paired up with someone who nearly killed me with a dodgeball.
“You’re my partner… Nerd!” He smirked as he grabbed my wrist unexpectedly making me flinch back in uneasiness.
There is no way, I would be doing anything with this maniac, he couldn’t even apologize for what he did and he’s expecting me to be his partner.
There was no way I would be going on that sea, the rolling waves made me sick already.
I noticed the canoe-like boats and was wondering how many people could go on one, well it has two openings.
“Stay away from me!” I glared trying to snatch away my hands from his grip but he tightened his hand the more.
“I was made to stay with you bitch, who wanted to be with you in the first place, not like you’re important,” He said irritatingly casting me a snotty look as he pushed me away as if I was disgusting while I staggered gaping into his black pupil speechlessly feeling so hurt.
“Get away from her!” A roaring voice gnarled behind us and before I could comprehend what was happening, Lucas gave Damien a jaw ripping blow making me jerk back terrifying.
People were starting to gather around us and I hated the attention Lucas was causing.
“What the hell!” Damien groaned out loudly spatting on the sand as he charged furiously towards Lucas who still clenched his fist in rage.
Ben came in view immediately and grabbed Damien at the back tightly as Damien struggled to get free.
“I told you to stay away from her!” Lucas growled loudly his voice emanating danger.
“I wouldn’t want to stay with her in the first place either, she’s nothing to look at, poo–”
Lucas was about to give him another blow when I ran immediately to him and grabbed his hands.
“Please!” I begged as he tried to push me aside but I found myself cupping his cheeks in front of everyone as he calmed and look at me confused.
I heard the rest of my mates whisper among themselves but I didn’t care about what they were saying, it was obvious it would be about us.
“Just let it go, he’s talking to me, it’s nothing,” I said in a cracky hurt voice.
“What is going on here?” Mr. Kent asked as Lucas glared at him.
“She’s going to be my partner in whatever we do!” Lucas stated like a command as he gripped my wrist.
“What? No way Lucas! Mr. Kent is the one picking the partners and you have no right to change that,” Jenny charged forward like an angry kitten as she glared at me.
“I do have the fucking rights, and that’s it, don’t you dare say a shit there,” Lucas growled while I just gawked at him.
“Luc–”
“Just tell us she’s your girl, always being protective and obsessed around her, tell us, man, you like her, right?” Damien questioned and I felt him stiff while his grip softened a bit as he blinked his eyes uncertainly.
“He can never like a bitch like her, she’s not even his type of taste,” Jenny snorted with a dry laugh.
I stared at Lucas, foolishly wondering if he would answer the question.
“Okay everyone gets along with your partner, Damien I’m pairing you up with Asian, Lucas you can be with Camilla,” Mr. Kent said but my mind was drowned in thoughts as my heart sank in agony.
What was I thinking before?
That he would answer that dumb question and confessed he liked me.
I tried to free my hands away from his grip but he tightened it and started pulling me away from everyone as my feet sank into the sands.
“Leave me alone, Lucas!” I groaned out angrily before he stopped abruptly and faced me.
“I saved you from that weirdo,” He seethed and I chuckled slightly at his word while he gave me a confused look.
“If anyone is the weirdo here, it’s you!” I spat out feeling angry dabbing my fingers on his chest.
“Stop acting cool and trying to be fighting any guy because of me, you’ve said words that even hurt more worst and were mean than he did to me, why are you acting like you cared now?” I choked trying to stop the tears that were about to fall from my eyes as I gazed at him, his features were dark with some emotions invading his eyes.
“I don’t even understand you anymore, sometimes you act cool, and the next moment you act crazy,” I spurt out gazing intimately into his green eyes as my heart ached in unbearable pains.
His hands loosened a bit on mine and I snatched my hands angrily away from him.
“Stay away from me, Lucas,” I threatened this time and walked past him but he grabbed my upper arm and pulled me into him as I crashed landed on his chest making me gasp.
His arms wrapped around my waist and I became so nervous.
He was hugging me and in front of everyone.
“Lucas, let go of me,” I said nervously trying to wriggle free away from him.
“You’re mine Camilla, and I’m not staying away from you,” He muttered lowly for me to hear making all the hair on my body stood up and my body became terrorized with goosebumps.
“Everyone grab the waterproof jacket on the boats,” Mr. Kent announced and Lucas released me as he held my hands into his as we started talking.
Girls in my class glared at me, some whispering among themselves, I searched around for Leticia and saw her on the water bank playing with the water.
My gaze glanced towards my right and I saw Jenny glared with hate as Jake tried to hold her hands but she glared at him snatching her hands as she walked away furiously.
“Here, take,” Lucas said behind me giving me a Jacket as I blinked at it before staring at him.
I stared at the sea then him, I was terrified, I didn’t want to go not because of him but because of the sea.
“Uhm! I need to go,” I said nervously as he raised his brows questioningly.
“Why?” He asked.
“Because I want to pee,” I lied making him chuckle slightly.
“Okay, be back on time,” He smirked and I ran off.
Back my foot, I’m going to lock myself up in the room for the rest of the day.
I ran to the hotel building as fast as I could and walked hurriedly to the elevator.
I got in and press the 4th floor, the elevator opened after some minutes, and walked through the passage glancing at the door checking for the number 179.
I finally got it and opened the door, I took the remote laying on the bed and noticed the bedsheets have been laid properly on the bed.
I switched on the Television and slumped on the bed before I dozed off.
30 minutes later,
A knock on the door jolted me from the bed as I stood up frightening.
“OMG! I slept off,” I mumbled walking to the window view as I saw boats on the sea and some of my mates cheering the rest.
The impatient knock startled me again and my feet started walking to the door.
Lucas…
Holy shit, I lied to him earlier that I wanted to pee and I would be back soon but it was a lie, and my heartbeat slowly as the sound of knock traumatized me.
What If he’s the one?
My shaky fingers turned the knob of the door cautiously as the door flung open in my face.
I was lucky I had moved back on time or else I would have been nursing pains now on my face.
My gaze slowly scrutinized the person at the door and my breath seized.
I was right, he was the one and he looked like someone ready to snap my head from my neck.
“You said you wanted to pee,” He started as he walked into the room while I moved backward.
“Ye-Yes, I-I di-did, ” I stuttered as my blood rushed through my temples.
“What have you been doing since?” He questioned closing the door behind him, his gaze not leaving my face as I gulped.
“I-I was sl–,” But the words seem incoherent for me to say as I took a step backward when I realized he was coming closer to me.
“How did you know my room?” I asked stupidly and realizing how dumb I was he gave me a smirk.
I was too daft to realize he would have asked Leticia.
“What took you long?” He asked in an icy tone as he caught my wrist drawing me to his body.
“No-Nothing,” I said nervously avoiding his scrutinizing gaze.
“Let’s go,” He said finally dragging as we began to walk towards the door.
“N-No, I don’t want to go on the water,” I said feebly, fear evident on my face.
He turned around with an amused look as I bit my lips furiously.
“You’re scared of waters?” He asked tauntingly and I found myself nodding shyly at him.
“In that case let’s do something else,” He smirked at me while I looked at him puzzled.
“Wh-What?” I asked and before I could register what he was about to he slammed his lips on mine.
I had determined not to let him kiss me again but my body was humming in desire for him as I felt myself get weak around him.
‘Not again!’ I groaned internally.
