It has almost been a week since everything has happened and I have to say seeing everyone happy makes me happy. Kitty and Dae are finally together after all there drama. Q and Florian have been such a cute couple. Then there was Minho and Madison, I slowly got over it. I was still kinda sad but not as much as before.
Only people who knew about my crush on Minho was Kitty and Q. I haven't told Dae yet, well because- I don't know how to. Thankfully we had to take a class camping trip so I am hoping this can be my shot to tell Dae.
"We need to deal with our baggage but we just keep making out" Kitty tells me and Q as we were walking to the bus.
"What?! You mean a straight man doesn't want to talk about his feelings?!" Q asked and we both laugh.
"I mean he always talked about his feelings when we were long distance. But it just feels different in person. He's less communicative" she said as her voice started to get low.
"I mean Dae does talk about his feelings a lot. Maybe he's just not ready, and he feels bad for what happened" I tell Kitty trying to not make her over think on this situation.
"True, but do you plan on communicating on your crush on Yuri?" Q asked her and she goes quiet looking around to see if anyone had heard Q.
"it's not a crush, it was just a stupid dream that meant nothing. Ok?" she whispered to us.
"Yeah, sure" I said before we all walk closer to the bus.
"So anything new with Minho?" Kitty asked me as we kept on walking together.
"umm I haven't talk to him all week, or haven't come by the dorm either" I say. I look around to see Madison not with Minho but with Yuri and her friends. They were all looking at Madison's phone before they start screaming.
"I can't believe he said your name" a girl said as she was fan girling.
"Well I owe it all thanks to Minho and his wonderful mom" Madison said before running to Minho and jumping onto him. I sigh before rolling my eyes to look back at Kitty.
Everyone was entering the bus one by one, putting there bags in the compartment above the seats. I was one of the first people to get on and sat in the left side by the window. Hoping someone I knew would sit next to me.
After a while I could feel someone take a seat next to me. I look next to me to see Dae. His eyes were closed and he was leaning his head back.
"I thought you would sit with your girlfriend" I say to him and he opens his eyes back up to look at me. He sighs.
"I wanted to but she wanted to sit with Alex" he says, "I think she's mad at me because I don't wanna talk about the whole Yuri thing with her" he tells me.
"Yeah, she told me about that" I replied, "but don't worry, just talk about it when your ready, don't rush".
"I know, but I don't want her to get mad at me again. Things are just starting to become better and I can't lose her again" he said as he leans his head back again. "What about you?" he asked changing the subject completely.
"What do you mean?", please tell me he's not gonna ask me about why I've been so distant lately.
"You've been distant lately with all of us" he said, damn it.
"I don't know what you're talking about, I have talked to you, Kitty and Q" I say to him acting clueless. "I have not been distant".
"Spill Ari, what's really going on?" he demanded.
I groan. "Fine, I started to like Minho" I whispered to him, "and for a month we've been getting closer I guess and I thought he started to like me too. Then I saw him and Madison kissing at his party and got super hurt for some reason and started to not come to your dorm so I don't have to see him" I explained. Dae's eyes go wide like he has just seen a ghost.
"You, like Minho? Like the Minho you've hated for the last six years, Minho?" he asked over and over. I slowly nod my head as I looked away. "Ari, how come you never told me any of this?!".
"I mean I wanted too, but I just didn't know how too" I tell him,
"So that's why you left when Minho and Madison came to our table during detention" he says to me. I nod my head again. "Anything else you have to tell me that I don't know about?".
"Well, I am really missing mom right now, if I'm being honest" I tell him and his smiles fades.
"You're not alone on that one Ari, we all miss mom" Dae said has he put his head on my shoulder. "But we have each other, that's all that matters". A smile lights up on both of our faces.
"You're right, we do have each other".

Finally after hours of being on that bus we have arrived at the camp site. We all get off with our bags in our hand and walk over to where Alex was. "Ok everyone please tell me who you would like to room with" Alex shouts so everyone can hear him.
The tents were able to fit three or less. "Kitty, Ari, and I will bunk together" Yuri shouts. Me and Kitty look directly at each other.
"We will?" Kitty asked as Yuri nods her head and starts walking to our tent. "This is bad Ari" Kitty whispered as we started to slowly follow Yuri.
"It can't be that bad, I mean this has to be for a reason" I tell her as we kept on walking.
"Eww nature, but it's fine. We will all make the most of it!" Yuri cheers. Kitty turns around and looks at her in suspicion.
We get to the tent and see two beds, one twin an one queen. Me and Kitty had taken the Queen since she didn't want to share with Yuri.
"Are you gonna cut all my hair off when I'm sleeping, is that your plan?" she asked,
"No, there are no hard feelings" Yuri said.
"That is what Dae said too, which makes no since. I had hard feelings when he picked you, very hard" Kitty shots back.
"Ok, lets just all calm down. This is suppose to be fun" I butt in.
"you know when you guys first started dating I thought you guys were in a fake relationship, and please do not look at me like that. I know I was wrong".
"Kitty" Yuri shouts to get her attention, "you were right all along, it was a fake realtionship" Yuri tells her.
"I knew it! Told you Ari!" she cheers, "wait, why would you and Dae do that to me?".
Yuri sighs, "I'm gay, and with the family I have I'm not aloud to be" she said to us. Everything went quiet. So this whole time Dae did this to help Yuri and not hurt Kitty. It all makes since now, everything does. Why Dae didn't tell me or Kitty about why he got together with Yuri saying he promise he wouldn't tell.
___
"Does it shock you guys that I'm Gay?" Yuri asked us as we were all in bed together. Kitty was on my left, I was in the middle, and Yuri was on the right.
"No, I'm freaked out that last week you were my enemy who stole my boyfriend and then a second ago you were the girl I pitied because I stole him back, and now- I relate to you" Kitty said. "You did all of this for love, I get love. So now I guess I'm rooting for you".
"Look, he was only trying to help me. He's a good person and does really love you. Ari can even tell you" Yuri said and Kitty smiles.
"I'm sorry that your mom banish your girlfriend" I say to Yuri,
"It ok, I mean I can use it against my mom so-" she said before she laughed. "but you know what the worst part is, I have no way to reach her in England".
Kitty face lights up with a smile, "You know my sister Margot goes to school there, do you know which school Julianna goes to?". Yuri nods her head. "I'll talk to Margot, see if she can find her".
"Your sister is really gonna find some random stranger just because you ask her too?" Yuri asked and Kitty nods.
"Like I said, I'm a matchmaker. I'm gonna find Julianna for you",
"Thanks Kitty".
___
"Ok everyone we are gonna start our clean up and make this garden look much better" Alex announces to everyone. "lets get started".
"Kitty is still mad at me, she said that I should have at lease told her something and when I asked what I can do to make things better all she said was 'the Dae I knew would know what to do' then walked away" Dae said as he was picking up sticks from the ground.
"I think everyone in this situation just needs to take time to think. It's not your fault. You were just helping Yuri" I say to him.
"Yeah well she making it feel like my fault" he sighs.
"Don't let it bother you too much, she'll come around" I tell him. I get both sides of the story but I'm not gonna say someone is in the wrong or is in the right.
"OH MY GOD HE'S HERE!" Someone shouts. We all look at the entrance to see Ocean Park getting out of his car. Everyone starts to rush to him to greet him. Me and Dae stayed in place, to us this wasn't a big deal. As I walk still looking at the huge crowd I take a glance at Minho.
I guess I do miss talking to him. He looks back at me, we lock eyes for a minute before I turn around and start doing more work.
As I started to rake the ground again I feel Dae grab my arm and drag me over to Yuri. (Conversation in Korean) "Will you guys help me? I have to nail this" he asked us. We all look at each other before we nod in agreement.
